yo to be honest,, if i were to like pickup a cheaper /lower quality miter saw,, or one meant for multiple materials like this one, i kinda would prefer to set it up myself just so 1) w a cheapo set i know everything is solid,, n 2) w a muli-mat saw, id wanna be able to know how to readjust n set up for diff projects n shit if that makes any sense lol but yeah ive heard actually pretty solid things about thos evolution saw,,,, the blades not thee greatest if your cuttin wood but itll do... but for metals and etc, besides maybe feeling a lil like lighter n not as great build quality as youd expect from miters,, but it runs and operates very properly and hasnt seemed to show any signs of breakdown or too early wear lol... ill deal w the slight toyish feel from the plastic parts,,, i mean shit be cuttin steel w those plastic parts so fuhhhg it Haaa
