And bought their 12" SCMS.

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 know someone who has it and likes it. Good luck!

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!

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.

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.
