   Arguably the Makita LS1212, The Hitachi 10" slider, and there's been others here that like the new Bosch.  I bought the Makita.  This is a frequent topic here, try running a search.

   George,

   I've had the Makital LS1013, 10" for years. I use it on every project. It has remained dead on accurate, with only one tune-up in 6 or 7 years.

   Hey George,

   I know this has been debated a lot here, but I'll throw my $.02 in anyhow.  I've got a Makita 1013, and it is the closest thing to a perfect tool that I own.  I use it a bunch, and it keeps excelling.  Great blade comes with it too.  I bet the Bosch is a nice tool, I've never tried one, I know the Hitachi is a good saw, and I've also tried the Dewalt.  I personally don't like the Dewalt very much, but its perfectly functional.  Out of the ones I've tried, Hitachi, Dewalt and Makita, I'm glad I bought the Makita.  Accurate, solid, powerful ect, ect, ect.  You probably can't choose a bad one if you stick to the big four, but try to try them before you buy.
