Think I can use this to cut up to 1/4" stock with NO issues?

They take some constant tweaking to keep them cutting straight in horizontal mode, but they work pretty good for the price

that's the same saw harborfreight sells ... i have one. and agree with the poster above that it takes constant tweaking to keep it cutting straight but does good work for the price. i think i got mine on sale for $169.99 and harbor freight generally has free shipping. they have it for 179.99 on their website but have seen it for 169.99 in the mailout flyers ....

I think I got mine for 145 or something..

I like it for horizontal cuts and angles, Its just not speedy.. Vertical cuts on the other hand are way to much of a bitch... I just use my grinder or sawzall..

Speaking of that I need to take my motor apart, I put a piece of metal in mine and went in the house for a min, came back the metal had slipped and it got caught in the blade and smoked the motor..

Something else to fix I guess..
