I have My Saw for for a little more then Two years and it is Great. I have a had no problems with anything, I would only tell those looking into the saw think of the extras that you might want it is cheaper to buy the saw with them Vs. adding them later such as the fence and the Wings they are just fine the way they are being stamped steal but I wanted to upgrade them to the cast iron but cant seem to find them and as for it being like a Jeep It is a work house it looks for little or no mataince looks might not be all that but it does a great job other things to keep in mind the cast iron weights down the saw which will reduce the vibration and you might want to change the belt with a inter locking V belt it does a great job on reducing vibration as well. Jet is great but Dont go on name brands do your home work befor you buy.
