Put the saw on a flat level floor when you do it so the bed doesn't
twist. The cast iron flexes a lot more than you might think.



How can I tell if the Harbor Freight has this? (It is the red one). I
am not sure what you mean by "slotted extension bar"

And how "straight" is "straight"?



The HF saw can be adjusted for straight cuts by adjusting the blade
guides. The manual is pretty straight forward.
