Everything he said, definately the best saw for the money, easy to use, not over complicated, can use vertical also, they offer a small table for this, it is a turret style head, which makes mitering very easy, and it is also a drycut style which means no mess from coolant, i have an 1800, but at work always used a 1600 which is a perfect size and can handle just about all your needs, buy one and you will thank us later.
