if you never had a saw,that would look really good to you.Pappy, you need that right next to your drill press.that would be cool.

It is a cool saw, and plenty of people have probably used it without injury, but it looks like an accident waiting to happen. No guards around the wheels.

Quick fix though. Wouldn't be too hard to rig up some guards. Even just some Aluminum sheet bent in a metal break would do the job.
