I am a weekend woodwarrior.  Wanted a nice sliding miter saw.  Looked at all of them, fondled a few and them, then found this one on sale through Amazon.  This is a nice saw.  Put on a Forrest Chopmaster and it slices and dices all day.  Required minimal adjustment out of the box for square.  Adjustments were quick and easy. Very easy to use.  Manual is great. Dust collection is not that great, but it wasn't with my non-sliding miter either.  It's the nature of this type of machine.  What was my old miter saw?  A Bosch 12" that was stolen from my garage.  Bosch makes consistently excellent stuff.  Would buy this one again in a heart beat.
