Any saw up to 9 1/4 " will be okay, I used a Makita for many years and then switched to a Triton. Just make sure that the saw doesn't have too much arbor float.

As to how to adjust the saw to make it accurate to the fence do a search as I've posted my method only a couple of days ago to someone else's query.

BTW I hope you made sure that everything is there as spare parts may not be available for the MK3, as it is now superceded by the WC2000.

I started with a Hitachi C9 91/4inch then switched to the Triton,after some years

Almost any circ saw will work in the Mk3, I used a little 7¼" B&D for quite a few years. But a 9¼" and it's extra 1" of cut makes a BIIIIG difference, so start off with a 9¼"er if you can.

The Triton Circ is designed to go under table, particularly for the WC2000 but it's still the bee's knees under the Mk3. So my advice would be: if you can afford it go Triton all the way!
