I bought this saw and have used it a lot in refurbishing an old house.  It is a powerful and excellent saw and it cuts exceptionally true even through very thick stock.  The only problem some people might have with it is that it is quite large and heavy.  I have large hands so this is not a serious problem but thank God I did not buy the even larger Bosch model which is REALLY huge!  Also, changing blades is a pain if you do not do it all the time since the procedure is overly complicated.  No wonder they put it on the barrel of the saw!
