You might want to take another look at this Rigid saw. I looked one over at Home Depot and found that the blade would drift to the right through the cut. This was due to the way the slides were mounted in the castings and could not be adjusted. Seriously, it could not be adjusted out. 1/16" left to right travel does not leave a 90 degree cut.

I would double check before you buy. They may have fixed the issue as of this remark, but buyer beware especially for older saws. Lots of them being dumped on Craigslist because of this defect.
