I bought this saw when I started remodeling my house a couple years ago and use it all the time. I absolutely love it. The only thing I have changed is I bought a really high quality blade to make cuts on hardwood flooring. If I had to do it again I would get the wheeled stand though.
This is a great saw with ease of use. It's a little more expensive than alot of jobsite table saws, but this one can come home with you and handle most tasks with ease.If your looking for a cabinet makers saw, this is probably not it, it is capable but you'll have to shell out alot more cash than this. Over all a great saw well beyond the competitors models.
This saw is everything I need. The on board blade and tool holding compartment is a nice touch. The fence is super accurate. The blade is easy to change. I like this stand over the rolling one since it's often easier for me to carry the saw and stand separately and is more compact. It also has plenty of power and smooth operation.
This saw consistantly does well in product reviews, and I can see why. The fence is dead-on for a portable. Excellent saw. I am just not sure if I would pay over $500.00 for it though. The drawback for me is the stand. The saw is a pretty good weight, so the gravity rise stand would have been better for my old bones. I bought this saw for $319.00 w/free shipping. If you can get it on sale, it's a heck of a deal.
The soft start is a nice feature as the lights don't dim when the motor is fired-up. Should have bought the base w/ casters. Saw does not bog under heavy loads. This model is the envy of every contractor who has used it. "That'll be my next table saw" is what they say. Would prefer either a steel top or a higher quality aluminum rather than soft cast aluminum. Any metal shavings or nails left in boards easily gouge the surface.
