Delta ShopMaster 10" Miter Saw with Stand

This is a perfectly cromulent mitre saw and the best value from a trusted brand name I could find. No regrets. The negative reviewer with photos showing the 'plywood' (that's obviously a stack of 1x2s) that suddenly jumped into the guard and damaged it is an [expletive deleted]. This practice is clearly counter-indicated by the manual and inherently quite dangerous. Most anyone who has used a sliding mitre saw figures out, one way or another, that kickback will occur if you pull the trigger with the blade on the wood. It's gonna sound like I'm not saying that our good friend mentioned above did this exact thing with no experience using this type of power saw and can't take personal responsiblity for damaging a perfectly fine tool so displays it then blames the manufacturer....................... Oh, and a number of negative reviews by Captain Obvious wanna-bes who pointed out that this model doesn't perform like 'their' $1200 one are like minded with our friend above. Sometimes I wonder why people leave negative reviews on their base model Mazda 2 because it's not a BMW M3... It is your prerogative to not buy this high-value mitre saw based upon the hypotherical negative reviews referenced above. It has embiggened my toolbox, it can embiggen yours as well.
