It's still in the box, so what am I in for with the saw. Most of the
comments over the last year, or so, have been pretty favorable
concerning this saw.

I've got one. All in all, a great buy for the money and a good saw
regardless of the money.

First thing you do is save the blade that came with it for rough stuff
and buy a good blade with lots of teeth. I bought the Freud Diablo
D12100X which has 100 teeth. Great blade.

Next you make a zero clearance insert and finally a zero clearance fence.

Now you're in business.

Check to make sure all the angles are correct - mine were out of the box
but I may have just been lucky.
