Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought this saw a couple of weeks ago when it was on sale for 69$. It's a great product for it's price. You can see in the pictures a few of the things that I have cut using this saw. I am new to this hobby and these are my first cuts. As this is a cheap device, it comes with its own flaws. First noticeable flaw is that the saw is without vibration upto medium speed and if you go to the high speed it wants to jump around. This maybe amplified by the fact that my table is not the most stable table. Another problem is that the original insert has giant gaps which makes cutting intricate details difficult and if you are not careful it can cause your narrow pieces to break. However, it was really easy to make a zero-clearance insert for it which I made from some leftover parts. It makes a huge difference as you can make your insert flush with the table. Also, the bottom blade holder is really not accessible which makes working with pinless blades really difficult. So, I removed the guard and made a little holder for its toolbox on a piece of plywood and screwed it to the casted body of the saw. Some customers have complained about the blades slipping out of the holders no matter how much you tighten the holder. This is because the blades usually come with a slipper surface and covered with a layer of oil to protect them from rust. Just a little sanding of the end of the pinless blades help them to stay in the holders even with a very high tension.
