I'm short and I have bad eyesight, for that reason, my chop saw station is built to cut at 36" from the ground. That's comfortable fuor me and allows me to see my marks easily. The Problem is, my arm just doesn't bend the right way to use the Kapex at that height. I ended up going back to a DW780 because it's ergonomically better for me than trying to use the Kapex when the handle is at neck level.
How do you guys handle it? Are you all much taller than me (I'm 5'-9")? Do you keep your chop saw station really low to the ground so it's more of a "shaking hands" grip rather than a "trying to pour water into a hanging planter" grip? Do you just not care and think I should toughen up?
Maybe I'm not a very good wood worker, but I think a nice thick Tenryu blade on a 780 with a comfortable grip gives me an easier and just as accurate cut at less than half the price. What do you think?
