John,

When I am not pulling on guitar strings we are manufacturing Solar Screens and cut a whole lot of aluminum frame. I use a 10" Ryobis in my shop and a little 7.5 inch for on-site adjustments. All have given us remarkable service, in fact the little 7.5" has been wet on several occasions and really takes a beating in transport in the back of a pick-up everyday and it just keeps working. I think I paid under 100.00 for the saw and the portable stand a couple of years ago . . . I am a very satisfied customer.

Hope this helps.

Merry Christmas,
