<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Tools like this have become much cheaper than they
used to be. Unfortunately they also are suffering quality issues. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My solution has been to look at each "flaw" and
consider it a project to fix. A little TLC will turn a bargain tool into a
treasure. Rigidness, vibration and reparability are important qualities. Ease of
changing blades is also important with any saw. There is no such thing as "one
blade does all" in any saw.</FONT></DIV>
