Hey guys. I've gotten the steel base plate Skil saw, which was warped, and now have the magnesium one. The base plate flexes easily, and a lot. With barely more than the weight of the saw resting on the plate, the left front corner will twist well off the cutting surface, with the other three corners of the plate still touching--the telltale sign of a non rigid, twisting structure.
I imagine this is how they all will be. But is it worth trying a Bosch? I want straight cuts that I might be able to glue together without working on the edges with a planer for hours. I'm making a door out of oak slabs I cut right now. About 6/4 thick. So I need a worm drive saw to be able to cut it without taxing the motor.
