1.0 out of 5 stars Precision Not There, August 10, 2000

This saw is quite a disappointment. After setup I cross-cut a square test piece and found that even though I got a clean 90 degree cut across the wood I didn't get a 90 degree cut down the wood. The guide bars and their mount are a few degrees off vertical. After taking the entire saw apart and reassembling 3 times - and having exactly the same problem - it became apparent there doesn't appear to be any adjustment possible to correct this.

Some other issues;

1. The base isn't flat, and this contributes to the above problem (but isn't solely responsible). A straightedge rested across the base shows about a 1mm gap towards the middle of the table.

2. The one work-piece clamp tends to slide back up its mounting stud as the clamp is tightened onto the work.

3. The maximum cut height before the top part of the saw leaves its guide is about 1.5 inches. Any cut on material thicker than this will require the user to hand-hold the saw in a vertical position.

Without the manufacturing defects the saw would have fitted my needs perfectly. The saw delivered to me is basically unusable.

4.0 out of 5 stars Mine works pretty well..., October 27, 2000

I just bought one of these and used it to cut the sides for two jewlery boxes. Both boxes have come out 4-Square. I have not had a problem with the built in clamp, but I did tighten it to the shaft pretty tightly before clamping. I also used an extra clamp on the other side of the piece. The base on the one I got seems to be plenty flat. True, the top of the saw comes out of the guides 1 1/2" up, but the blade does not. It seems to cut fine if you tighten the blade really tight.

2.0 out of 5 stars ...Poorly made..., September 22, 2002

This is simply NOT a precision tool. It seems that their design and manufacturing is not conducive to consistent accuracy. My unit is also off 2 degrees in the vertical. The blade is allowed to wander between the vertical posts by design. As noted before, there are NO adjustments of any kind outside of the ability to lock down any angle via an allen screw. The clamp is awkward to use, moving it from one side to the other involves unscrewing and re-mounting a rod. Holding the blade above the work requires using tiny wingnuts that are, again, awkward to reach...Buy the Nobex Proman or Champion - get a real tool!
