The rage 5-S multipurpose I had does what it says and you get what you pay for. It could be improved by adding a soft start when switching on. A micro adjustment on the fence for fine adjustment. The angle adjustment is 1.5 degrees out on the scale but, I use a digital angle finding tool that I set on the saw bed, placing it against the blade to get the correct angle. So that isn't really a big problem. The tool itself is a bit on the light side, not having enough weight to it when you push an 8foot by 4foot sheet of 3/4inch (2440mm x 1220mm x 18mm) plywood over it. When push the plywood through the saw it tends to move with the side with the feet staying in one place and the side with the wheels, they tend to slide across the ground. To prevent this I just put a weighted object behind the back edge of the saw on the floor to prevent this moving as this is quite a dangerous problem when the saw as a whole moves when cutting down a sheet of plywood. When cutting wood, which is what I use it for primarily. Even with my dust extractor connected, most of the sawdust falls through the saw and onto the floor and isn't extracted off. The extractor I use extracts all shavings and dust from my combination planer so I can only assume it is something to do with the design of the saw and not a problem with my dust extractor. As I have previously stated earlier you get what you pay for, and it is an acceptable machine for the money paid for it.
