Just bought this yesterday for my impending composite deck rail project. Beautiful out of the box. I always try to read the instruction manuals cover to cover when working with something new, but I found the book to be somewhat confusing. I was most interested in how to change the blade, as I am sure that I need a different one for my project. The book was confusing, but after attempting to expose the bolt to change the blade, the machine itself is very simple to work on.
I put my square on it before making any test cuts and it is true right out of the box. I wanted to cut some sample stair balusters and rails out of plain 2x2s before doing it on the real thing, so my mistakes will be cheaper. Other than initial operator error on the angles, this machine works great! Looking forward to my rail project once the kids go to camp.
