I bought one a few years ago. Have had no problems with it except a
minor one. It doesn't _quite_ cut all the way through stock that is
against the fence. Leaves about a 1/8" "tit" easily trimmed with a
knife. Haven't looked to see if the fence is adustable.
For occasional use I would recommend it for the price. Undoubtedly a
'high quality' one will last longer but I don't see that it would be
any more accurate than the HF one. Everyone does not need a
professional tool.
I even use it as a 'chop' saw cutting framing memebers to length. The
nice part is being able to see _exaclty_ where the cut will fall.
I don't do all that much work with it anymore as all my buildings are
now rehabbed. I do wish I had been smart enough to invest in a
sliding mitre saw many, many years ago regardless of cost.
