In response to Peter's confusion...
Now I'm confused, are you saying the sliding one is not as accurate?
Then I won't buy it.......Peter

Michael penned this pear of wisdom...

Oh, for Christ's sake. Peter, the saw you are talking about is a
fantastic saw at a fantastic price. Jump on it. Some people talk
about "accuracy" around here as if they used their equipment to
machine escapements for goddamn Rolexes. Take it all with a grain of
salt. Just like most other newsgroups, this one's got it's share of
cowboys who are all hat and no cattle.

Michael nails it! AMEN!!!

Peter, I paid mail order retail for mine (Tool King of Denver) and was
delighted with the price $509. That was two years ago. Since then, I've
framed an entire house with it, and it's been in frequent use in my
cabinet shop ever since. It still makes perfect full-length crosscuts. I
have aligned it twice since buying it; once on receipt, and once after
moving it to a new station. It crosscuts long stock more easily and every
bit as accurately as a crosscut sled on my tablesaw, which is a Delta
Unisaw in excellent condition and alignment.

Echoing Michael, if it's not damaged, buy it!
