Kathleen trout: Great features for price, quality saw. Found this same exact saw for $175 more at big box hardware stores and couldn't believe i got it for such a steal! It went to "not available" once I got it and now shows for a lot more, I got lucky!

Made quite a difference to other, old, beat up one i had been using. However reason for a rating of 4 is because it came loosely packaged inside the box and one of the metal blade guards were broken off.

I was NOT gonna try to get the saw shipped back to replace whole thing and risk another coming broken.. so I called the manufacture and they sent me a replacement part, fixed with no issues and is working great. If i could give 4.5 stars I would since its so super nice. The line light is awesome!

Kindle Customer: Work great and is nicely designed, it not light in weight, but it well designed. The only thing that has taken me to get use to is the laser light is on it's only switch and after working with the saw cutting out parts I find my self forgetting to turn the laser light till the next day, but that's something I need to learning as part of operation is to make sure the laser it turned off, but also would say that the laser is nice and id bright on the work material and is line up great with the blade.

For the money, it's a GREAT saw.

Pics show the saw as it arrived in the box. My dog, Darcy, approved.
Unpacking was super easy. I opened this from the top. You could open from the bottom but there's no point.
Several pieces of folded, custom-cut cardboard held the saw safely in place. Zero damage. Just lift them out. No unnecessary plastic or tape. Then just lift the whole saw out and secure it to a bench or stand.

The blade was already mounted, and tightly secured.
Just one item of assembly. The tag with the green ribbon was hanging from a hex head bolt on the front. The bolt was snug so I used the blade wrench to unscrew it--thoughtful, having the bolt match the blade wrench. With the bolt removed I screwed in the locking handle, which took all of five seconds. That was it for assembly.

The directions were good. I've seem many that were not this good.

With factory settings right out of the box, the saw was square and true enough to go straight to work for any kind of framing. It was perfectly square vertically (table to blade) and horizontally (fence to...
