Released January, 2008
The Pros:Built in LED lights illuminate cutting area. Dust blower removes dust from your line of sight as you cut. Quality, durable build - long lasting.
The Cons:The rip fence has a 'dead zone' that prevents a small range of cuts from being ripped no matter if the fence is in the left or right position. It is about 3 1/2" -3 3/4". Rip fence could be longer.

It has built-in LED lights that illuminate the line of cut to visually aide the owner, and is made out of magnesium components that reduce the weight down to 10.6 without compromising its durability or jobsite toughness.
