I love everything about the saw except for the calibration of the base to the blade. Trying to pinch the plunge saw down while adjusting the base and placing a square at the same time is not fun. If Kreg doesn’t think that a saw lock to keep it in the open position is a bad idea, they should include a setup block that can hold the saw for Calibration. Otherwise the saw is great and cuts like butter.
I haven't used any other track saw, but this one is awesome. It's well built and has no binding on the track. I can rip and cross-cut plywood with no problem!
