I bought this chop saw having been a longtime customer of Milwaukee tools.  The saw works well, but does not have the "fit and finish" that most loyal Milwaukee customers have come to expect.  Careful inspection of the tool shows a "Made in Taiwan" label, which explains the relatively "cheap" appearance.  The saw looks like a red off brand in construction with a cheap "Milwaukee" logo sticker on the blade guard...the name is not fabricated into the case like on most large Milwaukee tools.  That being said, the saw has worked OK for me thus far, I have cut rod steel and angle iron of various sizes without any trouble, but the saw is only about 4 months old....we'll see how it does in the long term.
