In the past I used a 10" Rigid to install MDF baseboards. While it got the job done, the dust collection was absent (had to use it in the garage, not convenient), I nearly had to use double hearing protection, the blade guard interfered with small cuts, and the power switch location was unsafe for ambidextrous use. I was happy to give that away to someone who was actually going to "chop" wood, LOL.
I'm needing a new saw to install baseboards in two large rooms (all bull nose), and wainscot. I cannot plastic off the spaces being lived in, so dust collection (using my festool vac) is important.
I have other ways to chop wood, so I'm placing cut accuracy as important for a new saw.
Because of the need to cut small pieces for the bull nose corners, five inches tall and about one inch wide, a saw with a poor throat (too big, uneven with table) isn't going to work.
My head is spinning comparing all the saws. While a $1500 Kapex 120 probably fits the bill (with the exception of 12"), that's a lot of money for a tool that for right now, will see two jobs.
Any help narrowing down a saw (or saw type) for trim/baseboard/wainscot that has dust collection and accuracy, would be greatly appreciated!
