“WORTH EVERY PENNY”
I paid $150.00 for my Delta K9408. ( K9804?),Very portable. I did change the legs to a heartier " wood-vice stand", that was sold same 15 years ago, and was a popular job site vice/bench product.. because when ripping 2X6's and 4X4"s, the saw would nudge forward. Very stable now.
Anyway, I use it daily and use it hard. No mercy, it cuts very, very accurate. You have to get to know your saw's quips. These are portables. The fence locks hard, no slippage. The blade guard is a bit flimsy. But I do not use guards on any saws I have. The miter does go to 45'. With a little nudge.
Overall, I am real happy with this saw. After 6 years, it cuts like new. Motor has not slowed down a bit.
If one buys $80.00 VS. $140.00, well there is a difference. Spend the 140.
For an absolute pro saw, for some $300.00, Black&Decker has a portable that works like a $1,500 table saw. I have one in the shop. Portable, yes. But I leave it put.
