Great saw for the price. It goes together pretty well. Alittle tricky with the table surface in getting it level and square with the saw blade. There
are many different ways that this saw can be used, but the best is cross cutting. You could turn the head and use it for ripping, but it's very tricky
and dangerous. Also the table surface is made out of MDF which is stable, but you have to watch out on how deep you go with the curf. I cut into it a little to deep and the table started to bow at both ends. I fixed this by just screwing a cleat on the bottom edge to correct this problem. Once the saw is set up, it stays accurate. I had to build a little platform to raise it up about 3 inches to get the saw to a height that is comfortable to my size. The dust collection
is ok with some modifications.
