I have only used it a few times so far but found it's been more than up to the job. I've used it to cut through various hardwoods and it's made nice clean cuts which will require minimal finishing (making furniture). The table didn't require much set up. The mitre works OK but is lightweight and the clamp doesn't work well but that's not caused me any issue. It came with a slight dent in the guide fence for which I am awaiting a replacement. So far I've found I can get it out and set up within a minute and ready to go. I was originally after a cast iron table saw but they take up too much space which I have not got. This is ideal and I can move it outside to work on larger pieces which it has done very well so far. I've had to Heath &Robinson supports when cutting items which are approx 9ft long but the saw makes light work of it. I would recommend it for serious DIY/Hobby work.

My first table saw, very impressed. Mitre guide a little wobbly but it all works very well. The rack and pinion fence guard really is worth it, does make it a lot easier to adjust.

Bought the saw to replace a 30year old Kitty table saw that had given up the ghost and had served me well. I didnt want to spend a lot on a replacement saw at my advancing age so decided on this one. The saw seems to be of good quality and cuts well. The rack and pinion fence is a nice touch. I used the saw to build the stand and it works very well together with my mitre saw. I am very pleased with the purchase.

A little disappointed after reading all the good reviews for this saw I received a saw with an un-level mitre slide the genius bit of the table that slides , to the rear of the slide it was raised just enough to catch a ruler at the front the ruler slides across so either the chaise was twisted or it was assembled incorrectly customer service said it was within tolerance they did offer a refund but that would have been more hassle that it was worth but overall it is an improvement on the rage 5 s better dust extraction better fence I would still recommend this saw despite the slide being off a little

Bought to replace a 40+ year old draper saw. Must say that this saw is a revelation compared to the old one.

The saw was easy to assemble and only needed only slight adjustments although it was fairly accurate out of the box. It is slightly noisier than my last saw but far more accurate and adjustable. The mitre fence moves in the t slot a bit but when you lock it in position and use the sledge it is accurate enough for me. The rack and pinion fence and the built in sledge are a great addition to the table. The metal insert plate locks well without any fiddly screws and is height adjustable but it does have a slight dip along the middle, although this is not a real problem. Overall this is a great machine at a fantastic price and I am not disappointed in any way. If I were to change anything I would have preferred an aluminium insert plate but the steel one is a lot better than the cheap plastic ones. A lot of thought has gone into the design and user friendlyness of this saw and it has definitely been worth the effort.
