Excellent Products, Excellent Quality, Excellent Prices.

Muy buen producto, le falta un tornillo, pero prefiero conseguirlo a decolverlo. El instructivo deja mucho que desear, pero es sencillo de armar.Entrega, siempre a tiempo, sin queja alguna.

For the price this will make cutting small metal items safer and more convenient. The machine is pretty well made and feels substantial. The base is cast iron, the top is cast aluminum. The assembly instructions are poor but with a little common sense you can get it done. Adjustments and assembly require 3 different allen wrenches (cheap versions included) and at least 3 different size hex nuts and bolts (wrenches not included). I attached the allen wrenches to the base with a magnet because you need them to tweak the alignment, move the fence and remove the shield for wheel changes. I thought the washers for the bolts that mount the router support arms were insufficient and I wound up grinding opposite sides off better washers to fit in the slotted holes. Comes with a couple of different bolt sizes to mount the grinder and my DeWalt grinder fit right in. The bolts through the arm that press on the grinder and provide rotational adjustment are a little hookey too and even came loose while cutting. I'll probably have to add lock nuts to fix that (couldn't find the right ones tonight). Getting the thing adjusted was a chore (about 45 minutes). It took a little experimenting to figure out the best adjustment sequence. The instructions are non-existent for that. It did cut pretty true afterwards though. I highly recommend attaching it to your workbench because it will move around on you if you don't. The base includes 2 holes for that purpose, I used a single C clamp that fit in the front depression and that seemed like enough but maybe I will eventually mount it on a piece of plywood. The fence is OK but not great. The grinder hits the fence when the fence is in the right hand slot and that limits the width of the material you can cut. I did buy this model as opposed to a cheaper alternative because it has 2 fence slots and I had read about this issue in other reviews. You can move the fence to the left slot and I think the grinder will then not contact the fence (didn't try that yet). But the left hand slot does not capture the nuts used to lock the fence down so it will be a little awkward to adjust. Also the left slot is not as long. Because it is so difficult to align you will not want to remove the grinder very often so having a second grinder to clean up welds and debur with is pretty much a requirement. Bottom line is it's not a chop saw but will do the job for small items and for about $25 delivered doesn't break the tool budget.

The instructions are very rough to understand not in English. The body is a casting an where nuts are to be held in place it doesn't work. You almost needed three hands to put together. An didn't come with all the washers you needed to put together. Pull down handle doesn't stay in place. Will have to revamp it for it to work. Too much time involved to take apart an send back.
