Not a bad product, quite normal quality.

There is no additional rigidity added to the saw as a result of its attachment to the sole. It is required to use a caliper to check the parallelism of the disk to the sole and, if necessary, "bend" the rear hinge in order to achieve accurate cutting (precision greater than or equal to +/-1 mm). I'm not sure, maybe I'm being very critical, and perhaps this saw is not intended for use in jewelry work, but I work in the furniture industry, and I require a high level of accuracy. In most cases, getting into the +/-1mm range is not all that difficult, and with a little practice, you can cut into the +/-0.5mm range.

Pros

Plus Power. This is the most significant benefit. Beast machine. When run through a quick feed, 15mm plywood slices like cardboard. Two layers of 15 mm plywood, or two cardboard boxes stacked on top of each other. Using an aluminum disk with 80 teeth and a sharpening angle of -5 degrees on a Duralumin 6 mm sheet is also simple. To be honest, I don't talk much about things like pine boards, chipboard, or laminate because this saw makes quick work of all of them. In general, during the course of a year of use, I was unable to come across an application for her in which there was insufficient power. Sadly, I don't have any beech on hand to test it out on a 3" board made of beech, but the overall build quality is extremely impressive. It fits nicely in the palm of your hand, and the start lock is constructed in such a way that it is resistant to inadvertent pinching. The mechanics are also of a high grade, as evidenced by the fact that they do not produce any extraneous noise; instead, the only sounds that can be heard are the roar of the engine and the sound of the disk. The blockage of the shaft is also designed in a reasonable manner; it is difficult to press it on purpose, and it is hard to press it accidently while moving. + The extent of the cut. 70 millimeters is adequate for all situations. If you take out the lower shell and replace it with a disc that is 200 millimeters in diameter, the height will be 75 millimeters.

Cons

- Stamped sole (not cast!). - No soft start. - No arch support. Sawdust is dispersed throughout the area in an even layer within a five-meter radius by the fan, which is meant to clear the area of sawdust so that it is not in the line of sight. - The advantages of connecting a vacuum cleaner have been fully nullified by the preceding paragraph. Everything disperses far before it reaches the location where the vacuum cleaner is connected, therefore the advantages are nullified. - The detachable coupling used to connect the vacuum cleaner is pretty flimsy and has a tendency to come loose at the worst possible time. - Finding acceptable disks with a diameter of 30 millimeters for the disk and a diameter of 190 millimeters for the outer ring is quite challenging for some reason. The majority of 190 OD discs have 20 bores, while the majority of 30 bores are either 160 or 210mm rims. At the very least, I would like to have the option to purchase separately replaceable support bushings in a variety of bore diameters, including 16, 20, 22, 30, and 32 millimeters. In the end, it turns out that not only are they not part of the set, but they also do not occur anywhere in the natural world. It is necessary for us to find a turner and place our orders with him. It is to one's advantage that the support sleeve can, at the very least, be removed.
