“Nice saw, but they could improve on a coulpe of things.”
I bought this saw about 3 weeks ago and have tackled a couple of home improvement jobs. So here's my take having limited use with the saw.
PROS:
- Nice blade cuts well
- Cost (slightly less expensive than comparable saws when on sale)
- slides very smoothly
CONS:
- The saw I got is slightly different than the saw shown in the picture. My base is mostly black and my tightening handle is red and black. (Not a big deal to me but might matter to some.) Also there is nothing that covers the two shafts that the blade slides on.
- The dust collection system is terrible. It captures perhaps 10% of the saw dust.
- Tightening the the handle causes the saw to move 1 degree to the right.
- The base is small and light for the size of the saw. This causes the saw to be unstable. It really needs to be bolted down when cutting larger boards.
