i love this for the extra miter area. It will cut up to 70 degrees. The light makes the work area so nice to be able to see what you are cutting and lines marked. Easy to change the angle. The quality of Ridgid 9is so good. I am a happy owner of my new favorite saw.
I underestimated how big this saw was, until the put a box about the size of a refrigerator on my porch. All assembled this thing weighs about 65 pounds. The saw is huge and beefy, and is solid. At this price opposed to the $500 they charge at Home Depot, I would recommend this to anyone who has the space.
