Finally had an opportunity to set-up the saw today and make a few cuts on 1" square tube (18 ga). Saw did great. Straight cuts were and 45's were near dead on out of the box. Blade was a bit of pain to get on but other than that the experience of using the saw have been great so far. Included blade has chewed through the 1" square tube fairly effortlessly and cut quality is perfect; but, we will see how long this included blade last. Good thing is - it comes with 2 blades so I should be good for awhile. If you need a hobbyist saw you can't go wrong here. Probably not the saw for a pro or a production shop but perfect for what I needed in my home/hobby shop for cutting metal on welding projects.
