I have had difficulties with getting service in canada.The saw has a reasonable 1 year waranty , luckily as the first motor didnt last quite that long.The patented sliding table has been getting more and more sloppy as time passes.This is not a problem with straight cutting buy I use the 45 degree setting a lot and the sloppy table makes these cuts very inaccurate.This means re cuts and wasted time and materials.The little brother to this saw the 770mk is more accurate at cutting on a 45 degree.Though obviously less powerfull and slower the small table and small blade save time and tile.THe smaller motor lasts longer too.Dont ask for replacement parts.They prefer selling full motors.This saw needs more perfecting for the hefty price.If you want to use the 45 degree feature get a 770 and a larger less expensive standard straight cut saw, if your busy.
