    This is a very well build saw, but it does lack many features.
    Pros: Very solidly built; powerful (15A motor for a 10″ saw is powerful) and smooth running motor; larger working angles than other machines (both miter and bevel), good looking, simple and robust.
    Cons: Does not have a laser light; the toll fences are not usable when cutting at sharp angles; need tools to move or remove the tall fence and even to flip down the right side of the “low” fence (see the customer pictures I uploaded); no hold down clamp included; does not have easy access to the motor brushes (or so it seems).
    Conclusion: Although a very well built machine, it offers only very basic features.
    If it was about $200 or $300 it would perhaps be a very good investment, but for a 10″ you can get a lot more for less money (ex: Hitachi C10FSH).
    However, if you are willing to spend over $400 then you might want to consider the larger model, Metabo-305, which I found at about $550 somewhere else, and it is a totally superior machine (12-inch saw), a true German engineering work. I returned my 303 and I did buy the 305 and it is worth every extra penny paid.

    The KGS 303 Saw, while very functional, does not have the useability features that many of the other saws do. The miter/bevel guages are relatively small and hard to read. The standard stops on the miter/bevel are useable, but don’t inspire confidence in their lasting durability. The D-handle is very nice, and the blade guard functions well. The soft start is nice, but the electric brake takes its time slowing the blade. In all, it seems like a very good homeowners saw at a contractors price.
