I have the PC saw from Lowe's also. I have noticed some side wobble with the blade before cutting, but it stays on track (providing I don't stray off line) nicely once I get going. As my first saw, I do like it, but have nothing to compare it to either. I did tons of research online and read reviews, etc. For the $$ i had at the time, the PC was the obvious choice for me. I just hope it lasts long enough for me to upgrade when I can afford a better saw.
