hi all:
thanks much for the thoughts. i'm not going to be building cabinets
with it; probably just cutting some trim for around windows in the
shed outback and like that.

i understand the sentiment behind "well, is it good enuf for you?
you're the one who's going to use it." at the same time, having never
used a miter saw before, i'm not sure of the implications of such a
seemingly small amount of inaccuracy; for all i know, it could be
huge. and by the time i figure that out, if such is the case, then
it'll be too late for me to return the thing. which is why i came
here with my question, to see if my betters could tell me what the
implications are for general around the house type work; i.e. no real
super fine detail work expected.

also: you can adjust it but what you see in the pix is as good as the
adjustment gets.

thanks again!


OK, make some test cuts "now". The results will be immediate and you should
be able to decide if they are acceptable. For rough framing it is probably
OK, for tight joints, not OK.
