But you get more throat clearance for the given length of blade...and in
some 50 years, I've yet to have a BS blade fail by "fatigue"...

Yep. OTOH, it does take up more bench space.

Not than a saw with equivalent throat depth, though, methinks...



And from a manufacturers perspective: how much can they save by
not having that third wheel?

But they can provide larger capacity saw for less than the full-blown
frame I'll bet...
