Nice saw with tinny base [Posted on 2007-03-14]
First the chop saw --

Good:
--Strong motor with glass-filled housing
--Good square alignment
--Simple design
--Quick-sliding vise
--Easy to carry

Mediocre:
--Handle is comfortable only if the machine is on low bench or ground.
--Pressed steel (not cast) vise and fence could be more rigid
--Very thin stamped base didn't even survive shipping without edge damage, and had to be whacked back into shape with a mallet. This DOES make the machine lighter and easier to carry than it would be if the base were made of cast iron. Fortunately the internal frame to which the saw arm and vise are mounted is made of considerably stouter stuff.

The angle grinder included with this kit is OK, and quieter than an older Bosch model I've used for years. It's a bit less solidly made, as you would expect. The safety-lockout paddle switch is easy to use.

Both tools are made in China.
