micro mark miter saw

i got a micro mark catalog in the mail last week and started looking at there small minature power tools. i saw they had a small miter saw which caught my attention. i had been doing small cuts like inlay with one of those tiny miter box and saw setups. not ideal. i rememberd that 987ron had gotten one of their tablesaws a couple years ago so i asked his advise on it. he said the saw was great, not a toy by any means. so i went for it and got the miter saw. so far im lovin it. not a lot of power but it's only intended to cut small stock. the 45 degree cuts were dead on. cuts are glass smooth also. i made a board with rubber on the bottom that i can clamp to the t track on my bench.one thing i dont like and will get rid of is the safety lever, that red piece hanging down. you have to depress the red button on top the handle to allow it to drop and make the cut. PITA! i may remove the clear plastic gaurd also. all in all a pretty cool tool for cutting small stock. cost was 60 bucks, not bad at all. i got mine through amazon. they were a little more than micro mark direct but free shipping and my prime rebate money. they sell the tablesaw for the same price. im pretty sure im gonna go for that also. as i get older i find myself doing a lot more small projects. i posted this earlier but i wanted it with all the rest.
