I would like to see a big dust port like the milwaukee that would hook up to my dc . The milwaukee had better or as good dust collection as my kapex .The milwaukee broke ,it was hard on my ears and scary .

Has been superseded by KGS315 with a better dust collection.

Looks like a very nice saw. Also looks like it needs a ton of space behind it for the dust collection connection and the rails like the DeWalt DWS780. That was one of the biggest reasons I went with the Bosch Glide. I didnt like all that wasted table top space. However if youre planning on using these saws mobile on a stand its not an issue. I wonder how good the dust collection actually is on the Metabo.
