Customer Reviews

Summary : Not up to expectations
Review : The customer service I received from Main Street Tools was every informative. The circumventing issues I have are predominantly over the condition of the saw when it arrived at my residence. This saw only traveled from Pennsylvania to Virginia making one stop in Newport News, Va. The box was beaten up pretty badly. So much so that I nearly refused the shipment. Although there was no apparent damage it had received modest cosmetic damage to the saws table top were the paint had been rubbed off down to the metal in two four inch areas. A can of spray paint resolved that issue. The rip scale was way off. I had to use pressure from the fence to square the blade to the table after reaching its adjustment limits. Also, adjustment on both bevel stop points were out of adjustment.
This saw can be found anywhere. Go to a local shop or home inprovement store to purchase it. You may be able to save a few dollars buy shopping the internet but why bother. I feel the saw will be fine and if you do make such a purchase over the internet I strongly suggest you request the product be shipped in a strong and more protective box. UPS may handle music CD's or clothing well but reconsider any heavy power equipment gentlemen.

Summary : Awesome saw, but not in awesome condition
Review : This is a great tool. I've been in love ever since I used my father-in-law's and couldn't pass up the combo deal. However, when mine arrived it had signs of being pre-owned or mishandled, including some rubbing on the table, fingerprints (don't care if they are from the factory, but if someone had the saw out of the box before me it is annoying) and the rack and pinion assembly was off by a couple of teeth. I had to take it partially apart and do not only "fine tuning" but some serious re-adjusting to get it just right. Wasnt terribly difficult, just not the kind of thing you expect on a brand-new $500 saw. So the initial "build-quality" on my saw wasn't that great. Other than that, it seems fine. And in general, the features, power and useability of the saw are just excellent.
Summary : Fast Shipping, Good Product
Review : I received my new saw only four days after ordering it, ... and I live in Hawaii. The box was slightly damaged on the bottom but the saw was spared from the abuse.

I ordered one of these saws for my job about a year ago and promised myself I'd get one when I could. After seeing this special "SB" package that included the outfeed and side supports and an extra blade, well, the timing seemed right.

This saw can compete with many contractors saw in terms of power and accuracy. I spent about an hour tuning the usual areas that would need checking and adjustment, not uncommon before using just about any saw when new. It was close to being "right" and corrections were minimal.

Overall, another good product from a company that puts a lot of good ideas into their tools (I especially love the rack and pinion fence).
