" ... Used it to cut a small section of corian countertop. ... "
" ... This was perfect for cutting the shelves and furring strips. ... "
" ... It does a great job at cutting all types of wood, even 2X4's. ... "
" ... like how it cut but it's heavier than I thought it would be. ... "
" ... Much easier then using hand saws for cutting up to 2x4. ... "
" ... Cuts a 2x4 easily . ... "
" ... It's nice in your hands, not too heavy, and does a good job of cutting 2x4s and 3/4" stock, which is primarily what I was cutting. ... Beats the 7-1/4 saw for easy cuts! ... "
" ... I needed to cut stair stringers installed too close together for my 7 1/4" circular saw and this worked perfectly. ... It is easy to maneuver and I think I can even cut more accurate with this. ... "

" ... I am a muscular guy with a good grip but I cannot hold against this saw when it digs in or hits something tough and with no side handle for a second hand that makes this tool lethally dangerous. ... "
" ... Big problem is one wants to put it together quickly! ... "

" ... Sight line doesn't stay clear so it's hard to see your line at all. ... "

" ... If you can't get kind help from the people you just gave money too, don't put yourself in that position again. ... "
" ... I couldn’t use it that long because the screw holding the blade is broken ... "
" ... Cheaply made the legs that screw into the bottom one does not fit so can't use any of them have to connect it to wall so it won't fall over not worth what I paid for it ... "
