This will do exactly what it said it will do, cross cut counter tops. I am sizing a lot of pre-formed counter tops. I just need to cross cut them.

br /The salesperson, Emily was helpful in explaining what it would and wouldn't do. I had priced some radial arm saws and they were about $8K, using hard to find 20" saw blades and required 3 phase power. This thing is so simple. Assembly was minimal taking about an hour. (If I bought a second one, it would take about half the time for assembly.) I bought the dust collector and a 100 tooth saw Blade. I made about 600 to 700 cuts before I needed to sharpen the optional 100 tooth blade. I live the way the dust collector sucks up the saw dust on the table top. I haven't needed to sweep the dust from the table top yet.

br /The cons were the dust collector I bought. It took about an hour and a half to put together but did the job collection the dust from the table and saw. I would also buy two of the 100 tooth saw blades so I have one in the machine when the other one is getting sharpened.

br /All in all, an outstanding investment. Beats the heck out of my Dad's antique radial arm saw.
