- Deliberately do not want a sliding model due to both space & long term accuracy issues
- Preferable 254mm (10″) blade as that currently just fits in the space available
- Electric brake saves waiting for saw to wind down after a cut (although a repeatedly accurate saw may negate this current need)
- Handle orientation horizontal to user – (this is quite important)
