I actually have a friend of mine that has one and uses it. The "slide" was kind of rough on it, so he took apart the slide rails, carriers, rollers, etc., and gave them a good cleaning. A light lube, reassembly, and he now has a pretty nice saw. Pretty accurate, too!

Another "partially assembled kit" that can be made into a (half)
decent tool.


While that may be true, it comes at a $300~$1200 savings over what the
competition has to offer.

I typically don't go for this level of tool but when the savings is this
great it is hard to go wrong if you have the aptitude for making
adjustments and tweaking.
