A decisive argument for this saw was the saw width of 310mm, but since many board is already 300mm wide. Of course, the saw is cheap and you have to make some compromises, but since then something even the price / performance ratio. But that after 2 years, despite relatively little use, the transmission is defective and thus the saw is useless, is not acceptable. This suggested gradually with increasing noise levels at up to total failure today. Despite great experience I get the gear not extended to replace it. => Who buys cheap, buys twice. :-(
