I need the model number of the trim saw Norm used on New Yankee Workshop.  The one he used to cut down lumber.

Thanks

314.  You got to find them used; great saw, I'd never sell mine.

I'm heavy into Porter Cable, but that 314 didn't stay long here. The base and the adjustment part was utterly a pos. A carriage bolt that turned in the square slot that it was supposed to fit in, with a wingnut.
The rivets that attached the end of the base that was supposed to hinge, were apparently smashed by a gorilla running the riveter machine.
I must have just got a dude I suppose.

Hmmm...sounds just like the one I sold on CL a few months ago!  I loved that little saw, but it saw little use after I bought a DeWalt Tracksaw a couple of years ago.

Another alternative might be the little SAW  BOSS.   Not as small as the 314 but it's been a great break down saw for me.
