in 71/4 dewalt is better than makita it is more balanced in my opion, we own both but i like the dewlat better.
i also now ahve a 5in makita which is great for doing most tasks but it is to small to be an allround saw.

I've got one of those. Great saw. I must weight it some day.

Holz Her would be my first choice, but they do not longer exist. Than it would be Mafell, but you don't list this brand. The choice after that would be the Makita 5143, a very fine machine. Or else the Hitachi C13U and C9U, very simple and not much to look at, but reliable and durable.

I have an 8 1/4 Black & Decker, bought when I was an apprentice in the 1950s
It has served me well and I still use it.
Regards

I had a Hitachi that I gave to my son a couple of years ago, awkward sort of a thing but just couldn't kill it (still going 20yrs down the track). Have used many Makitas over the years and thought they were great, I then did a backflip and grabbed a GMC 91/4" and shock horror it did a fantastic job cutting 50mm plus slabs, 3-5m rips time after time (2 yrs) but allas it died a while back, dropped quite few times, cracked guards and then finally the bearings chicked it in. So I thought (had a few bucks in the pocket) I would go a little more upmarket and went shopping. Picked up a De walt 91/4" was on special, 3 years warranty all my tradie mates recon De Walts the goods. Yes, plenty of muscle, but thats about it, the vibration was terrible so have swapped blades and it goes much better, so have ordered a Flai z blade from VEK (sould be here any day now). I also have a small 6" Bosh (green) and it's as smooth as silk with the original blade.
(Wow sorry, rant)
