Glad to help!
It passes the nickel and penny test, but the penny will sometimes fall over
when I start it up.
I couldn't find much info (opinions) on the S45 but based on it's price range
I think it is more a direct competitor with the Jet 16". It would be worth a
closer look if you just can't find the extra $. MiniMax also has another "S"
type saw listed on their website
http://www.minimax-usa.com (at least it was
there a few weeks ago).

How did it do on the nickel test? I was looking at the Laguna and the
comments out on the Laguna web site has definitely made me rethink the
Laguna. I'm looking on purchasing a new BS within the next month or so and
your review was very timely. I'm also curious as to why you chose the MM16
over the S45?
Thanks
