Quality


I love this thing, game changer for me… saves me so much time, and the quality of my work got a little better.


The track attachment fits the wen tracks very well and most of the play can be dialed out for straight, sure, accurate cuts.

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    My experience with safety when this saw binds and starts to push the saw backwards it makes it about a foot before the blade locks

    The guard is tough dropped it multiple times and it still slides like new


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The only things i wish they added are a second mark for track depth gauging you run a touch shallower using a track so i had to mark a second depth mark for precise and easy track cuts and an 0 mark on the angle that can be adjusted ifwhen the saw comes out of alignment over the decades i intend to use this tool for
