- There was a good article on this saw in a recent woodworking mag. (wood I think)
- They liked it alot, and went on about it's accuracy and engineering advances.
- The only negitive that they had was about the high-impact plastic used for some
- stops and grips and stuff. Their investigations showed that these peices were
- inexpensive to replace, but (if I remember correctly) not too easy to come by
- yet. Ryobi is going to fix this soon. If you get it, tell me how it is, I'm
- looking to get one in about a year if it is as nice as I think it is.
