Titan, I have one, as long as you don't use too fine of a blade, get the speed up and go slow it works great, my opinion is, if you're gonna make lots of bows save your money and buy a better saw, I only rip about 8-10 bows out of staves a year and it works fine for me. I haven't replaced any guide blocks on it so I don't know if I can get parts or if other model parts will work, The assembly manual is not very good either. But you can't beat the price, I think I paid $240 on sale. I run a 3/4 tooth and 3/4 inch wide blade.

I have one that I bought from a guy that bought it at an auction to resell.  It was like new (not sure it was ever used before!!) I paid $175 and it hasbeebn sawing what I want to saw.

 Again the right blade is important.  I have tried 4tooth per inch but seem to have better success with 6 tooth per inch.
