Free, is a very good price! A better price than I paid for my Grizzly saw no doubt!
I'm happy with it. I adjusted it when I got it, and have had to adjust the tracking a couple times, as it vibrates loose over time. I've replaced all of the guide bearings, and he motor finally started giving out last years, so I replaced it with an American made model. I'm sure I killed it, by sawing for hours on end on some big projects, and getting the motor so hot I couldn't lay a finger on it.
I cut mostly alloys, like 1045 & 4140Q&T, and 304, & 316 stainless steels, so I run nothing but 10/14 bi-metal as well. I could cut aluminum, and the bronzes I use more effeciently with other blades, and have, but do fine running nothing but the 10/14's.

? Mine was free for helping a guy clean out his shop after 3 (yes , 3) giant oak trees fell on it . I don't even know what brand it is (it's kinda metallic green where it still has paint), but it cuts adequately square for me . I usually use 10/14 M42 blades , unless cutting thin sections , then I go to an 18t carbon steel blade .
