I am interested in what anyone has to say about this saw. I know nothing about it. I am considering purchasing it. All comments and suggestions are welcomed.
Looking forward to seeing you Sunday morning!
The appeal for me is that it is a GREAT ripping saw and a very precise crosscutting saw. In its base configuration it occupies a very small footprint. With the table extensions you expand to a saw with 24"+ rip capacity, and with the sliding table you get 32"+ crosscutting capacity.
With the Erika (and I assume Precisio saws), it can be a little tricky changing the way you think about orienting the work as compared to miter saws, but after some solid days it becomes second nature. I regularly cut crown moulding on my Erika, small stuff I cut in position, bigger profiles are cut on the flat.
