Hi Shep, Ive had both Silky & Barnel, they are BOTH very good.
You could also throw ARS saws into the mix.
I snapped the Barnel & my mate said, i'll Just weld it up.
Lucky it was at the base & did'nt interfere with the cutting action.
Have also snapped Silkies............ dont ask.
Top saw is the Barnel, underneath the ARS.
