Bad day for the substitute mail carrier as my saw came today via US Mail.
Good thing she drives a full sized Buick!  It took up most of the trunk of
her car and she seemed pleased that I was home to get it out.

Here is my first overview and review.

Runs fine, blade is sharp, cut a 45 deg x 45 deg compound miter in a treated
2x4 and it came out clean enough to make a picture frame.

  So far I am pleased.  The one noticable fault I see is that the slide
action is a little rough.  It slides but not completely smooth like a Makita
would.  Could be a bad bearing or maybe that is just the way it is.

It is certainly not a Makita, Bosch or DeWalt but for $100 it beats the heck
out of not having one at all.
