So this thing is $133 with the coupon. Anybody have one?
I'm thinking about buying it just for kicks and to check out how it does.
The dual bevel is really useful for crown molding.
I'm guessing it's a steaming POS, but who knows?
Maybe it's a diamond in the rough.


I have had one for several years. Works well as a chop saw (the
sliding ability especially) but I don't use the compound bevel
simply because I would rather do it on something I can control
better.


Control better?



Setting accurate bevel angles on these saws can be troublesome unless
cutting at 90 or 45.

Now for the price of 10 of these you can get one that very easily and
accurately cuts the in between bevels............ :-). Loving mine so
far.
