I've only had the S380CPS cold cut saw for a couple of weeks. It cuts well and is straightforward to use. My only criticism is the vise that comes with the base. It works well with straight longer pieces; however because the clamping side of the vise pivots, it doesn't hold short pieces or uneven pieces. Even if the piece would fit squarely in the vise, if the piece doesn't put pressure evenly at the pivot point itself, then the vise clamp pivots and there isn't a locking mechanism built in that I could find to prevent that. I rigged a second clamp to hold it so I could cut a piece at a straight 90 degrees. This is a very annoying problem, that could be fixed by providing a way to lock the clamping side straight or at an angle. It may be a bit more difficult to do this than the static side which does lock into different angles but it would be worth it. Otherwise, I'm very happy with the saw so far.
