/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Its not the service life or reliability of the tools that is the issue, its that you can't cut strait with them. They keep losing their zero because plastic and cheap stamped sheet steel aren't as rigid and resistant to temperature expansion as cast iron is. They are flimsy. Let them sit for a month without using them and you have to re-zero or the cuts are off. After so many cuts, you have to re-zero them. Big change in temperature, have to re-zero them. Etc, etc. With good quality saws you only have to re-zero them if you move them, replace the blade or once in a blue moon just in case.
