Saw versions

 

I had one of the HF saws that I bought @ 25 years back I gave
to a bud . It was one of the green saws . Now I have a newer saw it's
one of the dark red maybe some kind of purple that I bought used maybe
8-10 years back with a bad motor . I have not had any of the problems
that it seems alot of folks have been having . Maybe I haven't tried to
set my saw up nice & tite & square but it cuts fine now . What version
saw do you folks have that is causing all these problems ?

I don't think it is any particular brand or model of saw.?
These problems occur on all brands, from out of adjustment and not knowing what 'properly adjusted'?is, all the way up? to mis-manufacture?at the factory, and combinations of that in between.
They've made 100's of 1000's of them over the years (1st one I know of that's recognisably a 4x6 was from Dayton in September1965), so the scope for not cutting well is huge.??
Given all the ways that things can go wrong I'd guess that <30% are made to their original drawing dimensions, and less than that are actually adjusted correctly (to give squareness better than 0.3% (0.003" per inch of cut or 0.03mm/cm of cut)).??
