    I used washers under the bolts which hold the gauge plate in position and that helped greatly reduce how often I had to make that adjustment. The head tilt is a bigger pita to adjust, but once you get it positioned make certain it’s good and tight.
    Bumbling forward into the unknown.

    Hercules. I’m looking at that saw. It can’t be that all the 4-5 star reviews are fake. It looks great!

    I don’t necessarily think they’re fake. I do think the people writing them have low expectations and just aren’t as discerning as the SMC crowd.

    That’s not a dig, just an observation.

    I've been looking for myself and have pretty much settled on this model. It's currently on sale for $329 at Lowes and features the front slide rails similar to the Festool Kapex for reduced space requirements. My old saw was a 12" which is also going into my decision as I have two Forrest Chopmaster blades. If I was starting out I'd probably go with a 10" dependent on what he's needing to cut but right now the 12" is quite a bit cheaper than the 10" Metabo.
