Great piece of kit for the DIY person such as myself, accurate and very robust considering the target market, extremely good value for the price. A few minor niggles though, why put an ad sticker on the table base, it's a pain to remove and leaves a sticky residue on the nice finish of the base. I went for the plus model and got the improved clamps and dust bag attachments, dust bag is useless, if not using outdoors use a vacuum attatchment, even so still a fair amount of dust especially with MDF. The clamps are big improvement over the basic model but let down by the retaining screws, as supplied they vibrate loose simply because the end of the screws are unfinished, for proper contact they need to be domed, a few minutes with a belt sander solved that problem. Anyway, apart from niggles, I am more than happy to recommend this machine and believe that it was the right choice for me and many DIY fans. As for daily use by a tradesman I'm not so sure, I would think not.
