I was particularly glad I purchased the blade brake as it adds a measure of added safety. This saw has ample power and the visibility on the blade left is great. I am very happy with the weight but I do exercise an added measure of care as I feel the magnesium frame might not fair well with a fall onto a concrete slab. I love the blade offset on this saw. Other saws I have used have had uneven offsets which make setting a cutting guide on plywood a nightmare.
It took two seconds to fix the problem. As I was cutting some wood, the wind was blowing the chips into my face. I turned the exhaust vent toward the left, and the wind carried the chips away. This saw has exceeded my expectations. This is the best saw that I've ever used. I used the adjustable exhaust outside two days ago. It's powerful, easy to use and lightweight. The exhaust was in the normal position (like other saws).
Did not expect cheap bag and inadequate brake for this much money. It comes with a very cheap bag that does nothing to protect the saw and does not even have a pocket for saw blades or the manual. The electric brake still allows the blade to spin for a good 3 seconds before it stops. Received saw today. I would return it, but I need it now so will keep it. However, do not believe the note that it comes with a case. Seems well made and the table looks very good. It does not.
It was as advertised.a little heavy, but it is 10 lbs.Otherwise, it is a great too an will last a good long time
Other features like the electric brake, dust port, depth & tilt levers, and left blade make this saw outstanding. This saw cuts smoothly, has a nice blade and comparatively light. You can't go wrong with this one. Before purchasing this saw, I worked with a $50 Black & Decker Quantum. What a difference.
