Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I purchased this saw in late January and just got the chance to put it together to use for a little shed project I'm starting. I've been around woodworking tools for as long as I can remember, so assembly and setting up the guard, anti-kickback, etc. was a snap despite what some folks are writing. When I checked the heel alignment (alignment of the front & back of the blade with the miter slot) it was WAAAAAY off. Over 1/4" actually. It's a fairly simple adjustment to do, but this particular saw was so far out of alignment I could only get it to around 3/16", which in the tablesaw world means it might as well be a mile off. When this adjustment is off, the blade is physically at an angle (front to back) while going through the board, making it impossible to finish a long cut without the blade binding and trying to kick the workpiece back at you. I'm thinking it would be a good little saw for small projects and I really wanted to like it, and I do, but this particular saw is literally inoperable due to the alignment issues. I'd actually buy it again and wouldn't mind trying another one if the seller wants to ship me one as a replacement. If not, this one is going back. It's an accident waiting to happen.
