hello All.

I just bought one of these and am quite disappointed with it.

The shoe is a very flimsy thin guage stamped plate and deflects a great deal under the load of the saw. Enough to cause a 1/4" overcut on depth and to wander several degrees from 90 in bevel.

I have to assume others have experienced this problem.

I'm considering two options: having the machine shop i have access to make me a new plate to my specs or return the saw in favor of a BigFoot. Any comments regarding any of this would be appreciated.
