Unfortunately I am all the way down here in Florida. So far I have been making a lot of things out of 3/4 inch wood such as animals, crosses, sled centerpieces and variety of other random things like that, not to much intricate work. I am trying to find something that cuts smooth with little vibration that I can depend on long term. It looks like this new king could be a nice option, however, I wish I had more user feedback on it like a lot of the older saws do. I can order it from woodworks but they do not accept returns on power tools from what I read, so I don't want to spend $650 with shipping and then be stuck with a poor product. Thank you for the reply, I still have so much to learn!
