Is this different from the bare tool 610 saw sold in retail stores where I usually see it for $99 to $119?

The saw I bought has a great LED light built in and a blower to clear dust from the cut area. Seems like a small thing but is really important to me. Great saw

I'm pretty sure the one you see in a store is different. They don't have a light, brake, or dust blower

I don't know. I have a hobby shop. I bought the saw to cut metal for a front end loader project.... which has stalled. But I did make about 30 cuts with the saw and it worked great. I cut a piece of flat bar, laying flat which I probably should not have done and it blade is no longer what it once was, which was amazing. If still cuts but throws sparks more. So, it works great. It's very well constructed. The hold down clamp works really well and angles nicely and I'd have to guess you'd get 50 -75 cuts out of a blade if you treat it well. Replacement seem to be in the 100 range. so that's all I can offer. I don't know. I have a hobby shop. I bought the saw to cut metal for a front end loader project.... which has stalled.

well, unfortunately, i dunno the difference between the two. i own the 70711. it's been great except for the included blade, prolly should have gotten a new/better one at the start and leave the included one as spare. The only real complaint i have is the rotating table, and the 0 point on it is not equivalent between a rotation to the right and the rotation to the left. I had to learn where the 0 was when i turned it. This is a simple and efficient tool for cutting some items for small jobs. If you need "exacting" quality, i would look elsewhere. GREAT for the price. Would imagine a slightly "newer" model might be better? Sorry, cannot comment on the 70716. well, unfortunately, i dunno the difference between the two. i own the 70711. it's been great except for the included blade, prolly should have gotten a new/better one at the start and leave the included one as spare.

Charles, I see $41.95 as the current price, which is still a good deal. I caught them for $26 several months ago, that is one reason that I purchased two. I would have paid 42 if necessary, just saying. I am not a pro wood worker, just do it for the enjoyment, not rich either, try to get the best use of cost for this hobby. Oh, I got the Rockwell jaw horse from A. A very good investment. I am using it with auxiliary runners to hold chair leg blanks to route mortise joints. The runners are to give the router base a sturdy place to ride. I have a few more tips if you are interested. Rocketbob

If you look around, it is actually quite common to find this Katana for a much lower price than the manufacturer site. The cold steel site is just MSRP but there is probably so much fat in the price that private retailers can sell it much cheaper.

i just spoke with tech support at EdgeCraft who manufactures both models and they say that the differences are as follows: 1. 610 is the newer model 2. 610 has a closed base vs. an open one on the 609 3. 610 has more metal components vs. the 609

I purchased the one sold by Outfitter Country storefront, on Amazon. 100% authentic new in box. I would be willing to sell mine for the right price which is still under the $170 Amazon price. It has never cut anything but a couple sheets of paper. I rarely carry it because I have so many blades in rotation. :)

I don't know. Search of Lowes produced no Ryobi saw. There is no difference between this one and the saw advertised at BLINQ for $115.00, other than the fact this this one IS reconditioned.... not new.

I too have been waiting for makita to reduce the price of the cordless jig saw, you think that they would make more money by selling more tools even though the price would be less. But we should be thankful that makita hasn't outsourced the manufacturing of thier tools to CHINA. If they do that they will lose a customer in me. and most likely thousands more around the world. Say NO to Chinese made tools.

Don't order it from Amazon. Go to Northern Tool and get free shipping. Amazon is charging about $80 to ship.

Not worth $964.35! I paid half that price 6 or 8 months ago from Amazon. This is a nice saw after fine tuning the fence to make accurate cuts.

I haven't had any concerns with it nor have I "pampered" it since they replaced it. Leatherman stands behind their products 100% - lightweight, smooth-action, and the one-hand quick-flick knife - btw I noticed it is priced below $40?! sheesh. what's not to like?

I don't know except that one is supplied by CPO outlet and the other is by Amazon Prime. Other than that it is the same table top saw but one with and one without the gravity rise stand

No there is no difference except that one is listed as being as $22 and one is $18. But there is a variation on this model (Leatherman Style CS) that has larger scissors in place of the pliers. Hope this was helpful - Andrew

No, and coincidentally i also own a skil tile saw -- the $80 one that is also sold in the big box home improvement stores, and that is crap, too. So, to be honest, i'm just staying away from the brand altogether now.

I think it's an excellent choice. The feature that most sets this saw apart from Chinese box store crap is that you can tension the blade if it loosens. Not really part of your inquiry, but another reason to buy this saw.
