I was just wondering if it's a knock off of the Excalibur.

$500 I wonder what shipping would be?

The ( as we knew it ) Excalibur is sold under many different names now.. Not too long ago Hotshot posted a photo of several Ex saws with different names on them.. Was posted in another topic but.. anyway.. I think there was about 7-8 different colors and names..

So yes from what I can see.. it's just a Ex with a different name..

I think it is the UK version of the Ex.  It have been around a while.

$500? Did you click to convert to USA $$.. because I got a price of $1017 well that was with stand and switch.. but still.. at that price I'd go to woodcraft and get the King version in a 30" saw for about the same money

I looked at that 30" saw and it seems like you'd have to have the arms of a orangatang to use it. I'll be patient and wait for a good used EX21 to come around. Or a Hegner. Or whatever the next Cadillac of saws might be. I know I have to save a ton of water bottles and cans to get one.

I thought aluminum can prices were up.

I read somewhere that King is going to have a 21" eventually.

I also read that quite some time ago.. but I still haven't seen anything.. I would think the only thing they need is the paint color and the stickers.. not like they need to redesign the wheel.. LOL..

I went to a currency conversion site. It said 433 pounds is 510 dollars.

Meanwhile here in New Zealand, Carbatec sell it for $1399 which is $962 US !!  But don't forget guys both of these are 240 volt.

Axminster has a lot of tools for sale in the Australia  and maybe other countries. I have seen that brand on You Tube.
