We couldn't bog this 3-hp saw down

Reviewed by: WOOD Magazine

Review Summary

Pluses:  For this price you expect a saw to deliver above and beyond competitors costing much less—and that’s what you get. The 14x14SUV has the most power by far, the greatest resaw capacity (14"), the best blade guides, an L-shaped fence you can use in up or down positions, and a magnetic power switch that prevents accidental start-ups.

…

It also features a table with a rack-and-pinion gear and gas strut for smooth, easy tilting; two 4" dust ports for the best dust collection; and a foot brake with power disconnect to quickly stop the blade. Minuses:  The table measures 351⁄2" from the floor, about 5" too low for our 6'-tall tester. It’s the noisiest of the lot—10 decibels more than the quietest. There’s no lower cabinet for storage of accessories.
