The XT250 LXT kit includes the BSS611Z Circular Saw. Per Makita, it has a heavy gauge, precision machined base for smooth, accurate cutting and added durability.

I dont know.. The description says it's cast, with a real steel channel bar. Nevertheless, it seems like a good piece.

Patrick M, This may be a better question posed to the manufacturer, Grizzly Industrial Inc. I am just a user of their tools, not a company official.

The 5007F is heavier than whats stated in the description. It's a great saw and I like it. Very powerful and cuts & rips with ease. If I had to buy again I personally would go with the magnesium base. 1. Description states that it comes with rip fence and it does not. 2. The weight is probably the same as magnesium model. 3. You get the case. Doesn't seem like a big feature but it is. I Don't believe you can go wrong with either saw. If weight is a factor I would look into the Dewalt lightweight models. Because this saw is not lightweight!

Stamped steel. A grill at this price is not going to have cast aluminum or stainless steel.

Metal. This saw is not what you'll find in the large home-improvement stores, and it is admittedly expensive, but you get a high-quality tool for the price. Aside from the chain, there's nothing on this that will wear out any time soon.

I checked the specification on Craftsman 10" band saw Model No. 124.1400 in my operator's manual they are the same.

The one that I got was metal. My OEM one had the bearing break out of it and I ordered this one. It was a good replacement and has worked well on my craftsman 42" deck.

No the base is cast iron and well finished , no plastic . I have mine set up with a 3/8 " Milwaukee drill . For me it is just what I wanted I love it .

I'm not sure, can't remember what the paper work said. It is a great tool. Used it last year, added it to my extended tree saw with a telescoping handle.

My opinion on the one sitting in my kitchen, the blade and the area (calling it the collar I suppose) that rises to the handles (and continues inside the handle) is continuous ground metal, if it is stamped its from 1/2" or so steel, I have read on one site that it is stamped, but I would call this Ground from stock, maybe forged, but maybe not. most of the knives I've seen "stamped" have thin sheet steel blades, this knife does not. its been an excellent knife either way.

The table is cast iron and flat. The fence is sturdy with slots for attaching an auxiliary fence for re-sawing large pieces. With a good re-saw blade such as the 1/2" Wood-Slicer' available at Highland Woodworking, it will work very well, assuming you take the time to set it correctly. I've also used it with a 1/4" blade for bandsaw boxes and other intricate cuts with good results. There are other good 14" bandsaws but none for the price of the Rikon. If you have never owned or used a bandsaw then you are missing out on a tool that is fun to use. Best of luck in your selection. The table is cast iron and flat.

Tues Outer is stamped on base of blade but quality seems different than original blade. Works fine.

I bought this saw for my husband. I don't know the answer, but I will ask him to answer you.

I have not seen the manufactured info, but the metal is sturdy and it has good weight. We are very pleased with it.

The newer RAGE2 does not have a cast base. A little over a year ago they changed this to a stamped metal base. You have to go to the Evolution EvoSaw to get the cast base now.Thanks,Tomboysupply.com

The base is steel and the numbers are etched in--good quality --just make sure each time you weigh in that it is balanced.
