I should start this review off by stating that I use this saw for more precision work than rough carpentry. I am more interested in accurate angles and tight miters than raw power.
Luckily with this saw, I got both. First, when removing the saw from the box you get a sense of quality immediately. The saw was well packaged, almost to a fault.
If they had thrown this thing off the back of the UPS truck without slowing down I think it would have been just fine. The saws overall appearance and finish are great.
The machined aluminum bed is bright, clean and smooth and the angle dial at the bottom is large and easy to see. Nothing wiggles or flexes and the saw has considerable heft that induces confidence but wont break your back.
If youre doing finish work. I would recommend cutting through some stock to get most of the yellow off of the blade that will smear on your initial cuts.
A minor inconvenience as this could be sanded off as well. While I thought that the XPS system would be a silly gimmick (at the time of purchase the XPS was cheaper than the regular model), I was pleasantly surprised.
This system is dead on accurate. You have to get the blade close to what youre cutting to cast a defined shadow, but youd likely be doing this anyways for a precision marking.
The motor pulls strong and goes through hardwoods like oak, walnut and ash with ease. If all youre looking for is a durable job site saw that can blow through 2x4s like they arent even there, this saw will work for you.
