  1. BEST DUST COLLECTOR
    Oneida Supercell $2,395

    giving you maximum
    mobility and more options
    of where and how to cut
    lumber. Use it in the
    garage and plugged into a
    wall outlet. Or go cordless
    out in the middle of the
    yard or on a construction
    site where cleanup is less
    of a concern. We like
    the 68-pound saw’s soft
    start, which brings it up
