You guys are not wrong, and obviously have cut a lot of wood, But those cheap saws are not as bad as one might be led to believe, (at 100.00) First, it comes with a stand, not a big deal some might say, but at that that price quite a value, makes the thing usable anyway. The twisty wood, yes this is a thing, but the fences on these budget saws suck for that reason I assume, binding wood will just move the fence, (obviously requiring readjustment) Accuracy not that bad for ripping and general construction, pretty much as good as the operator, Like anything if you take care of them they will last a good long time, NOT saying a better machine is not better, (especially for cabinet work) but for someone looking for entry level I would recommend checking one out.... Oh and don't stand in front or behind ANY table saw, as kickback can injure,maim or kill (again true) and being out of the way reduces chances.
