I ordered this saw for my girlfriend. This was was a refurbished saw. I thought they would have tested and fixed any issues with this saw. The saw was supposed to come with a foot pedal and it did not. The saw would not hold tension on the upper blade. When I tried to cut 1/4 inch plywood the saw motor bogged way down. I did not try cutting anything with any thickness to it.
I have had 2 of these saws previous and that were awesome saws.
Saw started running WIDE OPEN, could not adjust speed. Tried contacting manufacturer for help, no luck in doing so. Email not working to contact them, phone call - said we'll call you back, did not happen.
