I've had this saw, the Chicago Electric 61972 miter saw for about five years. I have done a lot of Framing and a lot of other work with it. It has been a great saw I have definitely gotten my money's worth out of it. I just wanted to do a quick review because somebody had asked me for it a while back. I had shot a lot of video and did a very in-depth review of this but never posted it. This is one of the cheapest sliding miter saws you'll find so if you're looking at this you're not expecting to get the super nice features of the high-end saws. You just need to know if it's going to work good enough for your application. And I believe this saw will.
