You probably already know this but maybe there are people out there who dont. I had that same sliding compound saw and it kinda sucked for me because i had very limited space in my shop and that long bar for the sliding function hits the wall and you loose like 10in of space so i got the bosh which has a hinge so it can sit nearly flat against the wall ifs more spendy but when spave is a premium its great. Oh been here since you had just a few thousand congrats on the milestone
