The only real issues they have been on that saw that I can recall clearly are some switch failures, but the unit has 12" of resaw generous power (and can run on a 20 amp 240v circuit unlike the current version which requires 30 amp) and is a beast. The native mobility is "less convenient" than is desired in some situations, but if that's super important, one can opt to use an aftermarket mobile base for the machine.
