Hey Jude the Ex is a good saw, but I have not tried a Dewalt so I cant compare, in fact down under the second best is probably a ryobi or some such thing, and after using a heap of crap like that any thing is good

I had a Ryobi saw for a while and never had a problem with the tension backing off, once it is tight you shouldn't have any problem, perhaps they don't have enough tension on the blade

Taiwan like most things these days, I think the quality is fine but the price is no cheaper than locally made and the other thing when in a small country like NZ the service is lousy and if I had a choice to buy NZ made I would

$140 is good seeing there is no charge for the stand, it is always a risk having a stall out side, but people in NZ seem to like the out door one in preference to being inside, an impressive display you have

I only mark my stuff with the timber I use as it seems to be important to my customers, mainly the ones that post overseas, the most popular timber is rimu and that is 95% of what I use
