Powerful 5.4 max HP motor (NOT) First one took a crap on the 5th blade!
They replaced it with a new one It's on it's 2nd blade and blows the circuit breaker 2 or 3 times a cut!
what a piece of JUNK
Harbor freight sells a better chop saw.

I got one of them, can't remember if it's the exact one or not, but a friend was using it and started to cause problems like that. The friend happen to be a sparky and IIRC it's the switch that was shorting out. Can't remember exactly, have to ask, but haven't had any problem since and works good.

let me know if you find out! I guess I could just wire in a new switch and try it. It took them 5 weeks to replace the last one.
When I get time I'm going to build my own with a real motor!
OK maybe not that big.
