Oh, and it came with the $200 stand for free and I got 10% off a decent price because it was the display. I could have paid the same on the internet and got the thing in a box without the stand. It's a really nice stand. Amazon had a list price of $1002. I had to laugh at that price. You don't need the stand for hammer cutting but I will for what I use it for. It was the only one home depot had a special on when I checked so that was the one I got. It sure is a nice saw. I'm glad I got it.
