Default Never saw another like it

Congrats on your new toy. Looks to be a solid tool, be sure to give us
a review of how it performs for you after you have had a chance to run a
few hundred bf through it! And I could not find it in the web
literature - does this saw have a left tilting blade?

Just got the Craftsman 22124 yesterday. Walked it off the tailgate of my
****ant (S10) pick up and then noticed scraped metal on the gate. Once I got
the cardboard off the saw, I discovered a square steel tubing welded frame
around the entire saw. The legs scraped my tailgate. The extensions were packed
in 2" + styrofoam, and the motor had a thick, fitted styrofoam cover. Add that
to the overall strength of the cast iron trunnions on this machine, and I doubt
many will be delivered with cracked trunnions. Or much of anything else.

Unwieldy to get off without scratching the saw, but a great idea.
