I've had this for 5 years of frequent use and it's been solid and reliable. I've gone through about a dozen blades. The saw's accurate but it takes some care getting getting it right: one should measure angles carefully and make sure the moving vice jaw doesn't creep out of angle when tightening the bolt. The stand: It's functional but I find it ungainly to roll forward. This is because the saw has to be tilted fairly high to get the small wheels on the ground and is heavily weighted on the motor end. So if you have to push it forward, keep one hand on the cutting handle and the other on the moving handle -- otherwise if the little wheels catch on something it's going to flip over onto the motor. (from experience lol)
