Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is an exellent value overall. It compares to the Mafel saws without the dreadful expense. The power is about right for the size of this saw, considering the Mafel counterpart is 240 3 phase and has a little more guts but the versitility of being able to use regular 115 volt single phase power more than makes up for the shortage of guts. But, with a saw this big it may not be such a bad idea to feed a little slower anyway. The fence is pretty much what you would expect for the price but the good news is that Sperber out of New Hampshire makes a replacement fence that is second to none. It will make cuts good enough for most uses unless you are cutting traditional joinery and need that type of precision. As might be expected you can throw the blade aside and expect to buy a real saw blade. Overall considering the money spent this is the best 16 incher on the market. For a few extra dollars you can make it a real precision tool. Great saw!
