I work for Home Depot, in the kitchen cabinet area, and can tell you that
for a homeowner this is a good saw.
I work in the field supervising kitchen installers and was just talking
about this saw yesterday.
One of my installers has it and it took him 2 years to trash it. That
includes using it everyday and loading it in and out of his truck everyday.
The base is plastic and does not like to be moved in and out of the back of
a pickup everyday, but in a shop on a bench it will be your best friend for
a long time.
