MixedSame model here: the special table coating resists corrosion and lets wood slide easily, but it scratches easily and is hard to maintain once worn.

MixedGood for ripping trim, moldings and paneling, but large 3/4 inch sheets are awkward because the stand shifts when pushing them.

MixedFound odd wear marks on the stock blade at the first blade change on a saw bought new; unsure whether it is a blade defect or an arbor problem.

MixedSeven years of dependable use with a dust collector, but the fence top has tilted out of square with no adjustment and a replacement costs about half the saw price, so they would not buy it again.

MixedCuts thick stock and can be set up accurately without power issues, but it loses that accuracy quickly and is light enough that heavy boards push it around. Still fond of it.

MixedFound the saw fine in general but did not trust it for ripping very thick stock, so used a circular saw and hand saw instead.

MixedEasy to tuck into a shop corner, but they want a better fence with a way to attach featherboards for miter and strip cuts.

MixedCuts fine out of the box for cabinets and boxes in plywood, pine and 2x stock, but is not a precision machine and an upgrade to a cabinet saw is planned.

MixedNew saw had play in the motor housing and a blade off parallel after setup, fixed by shimming; support calls and a warranty claim went unanswered, though the saw still cuts well.

MixedSaw itself is within tolerance and cuts straight after squaring the blade, but the rolling stand sits about one degree out of level.

MixedInstalled a soft start module on their saw, correcting an earlier wiring guide; shortened the leads and used spade connectors for every connection.

MixedFine for a small fold-away home workshop with the rolling cart; the fence is smooth and accurate but the 90 degree bevel stop is off, and a service visit did not fix it.
