This will change the way trim carpentry is done [Posted on 2001-08-05]
I have owned this saw for about a week now. I have used it every day for at least three hours at a time. I have been using it to cut 3" baseboard and shoe moulding, and other various punch list items. I am now cutting as quickly as a pro and I have only been doing this for a short time. I use this light saw to move from baseboard piece to baseboard piece as I work myself around a room. I lay each piece down, mark it in place, or measure, depending on the piece to be installed, and then I cut it right in place. For coped cuts, I use my toolbox (not the box provided with the tool) as a bench

A charge will last about 3 hrs. This means I will need to buy at least one more battery at $175, but even with that, it is worth it. I also noticed that the blade size (8.5") is a standard size and can be bought at my local Home Depot.

This lightweight saw has adequate power and holds a decent charge overall. I am glad I bought it.
