Overall, I've been disappointed with the Delta Sidekick miter saw with the integral stand. Almost from day one, I have found pieces of the stand which have fallen off. The screw that the blade guard pivots on was not seated far enough and starting to wobble after a few weeks of use. This was an easy fix, though because I just replaced it with a longer screw. The next thing that happened was that the screw that holds the blade guard on (back and top of the saw) broke off rendering the guard unusable. I had to remove the blade guard which makes using this saw a little unnerving. I thought at the time of purchase I was saving myself a few bucks but you know the old adage - you get what you pay for!
