I have both saws, thinking about setting 1 up as a second mill for small stuff (<24"). I know either will do the job, just considering the pros & cons for each
I have plenty of 385 spares too... But on the other hand I don't use the 048 for much else & it has oodles of torque. My main concern would be parts availability if I use it. Unsure if there are other things to be wary of with the 048
