Impressive bit of kit Lawrence, but probably the most inept operator of such a powerful and potentially dangerous saw I've ever seen. Didn't have the fence hard against the wood - the saw was wobbling all over the place and so was he. His stance was evocative of a drunken sailor - with the correct stance he wouldn't have needed to shuffle about on his feet. I wouldn't let that guy lose with an electric toothbrush let alone a stonking electric circular saw.
Got to be on the short list for a Darwin Award before long!
