Bought the saw last week and used it on a project cutting glue laminated beams. Thought it was a little bit over priced but once I saw it in person, realized it was quite a substantial saw. I read the reviews concerning the Milwaukee and came to the conclusion of boning up more money for the Bigfoot. I suggest you do the same.
I was bummed that this saw didnt offer a case like the Milwaukee. None the less, you are getting a high quality saw. That is what really counts.
Nothing beats the performance of a worm drive saw.

I don't even know where to start with how poor of a performer this table saw was. First of all, getting the blade 90 degrees to the table was nearly impossible. It shipped about 5 degrees out. To adjust the 90 degree stop you loosen a screw in the top... well even loosened it seemed to have a memory, requires me to literally FORCE the blade over to as close to 90 degrees I could get it, then hopefully get the lock tighened down before it slipped. Then, trying to change to another angle (on purpose) was very difficult because of the force required to start the motor & blade assembly moving. Once you broke it free it would fly all the way over to the 45 degree angle (or at least you WISH it was 45 degrees) Getting anything inbetween required some kinda luck.
So ok, on to cutting. The unit is so lightweight that trying to rip a 2x6 in half the saw just kept sliding across the floor when I would feed it into the blade. So I set the saw on some plywood to give it more grip, which worked, till it started tipping over on me. Not a very safe scenario here. Once I finally weighed it down so it wouldn't move the cuts were difficult to keep straight because the rip fence would left & right 1/4" on the far end. You have to be very careful not to end up with a tapered or otherwise defective cut.
The miter guage is pretty much useless as there's a lot of play in the slot and no kind of positive stops for 90, 45, or anything else you'd want to cut.
I don't know what else to say, other than the cord wrap was nice and it has blade storage on the side. It was powerful enough to rip wet 2x pressure treated material, if you could get the saw set up to not tip over or slide on you.
