I have one that I got at a yard sale, needed some love but worked great. I open mine from time to time and use it vertical too...for small stuff. 18 tooth blade works about the best on everything. I also use 24 tooth for real light stuff.

My neighbor one day seen me cut a chunk of wood in it and gasp. I ask what was wrong. He said that is for metal. I told him yep, but it can't tell if it is metal, wood or your finger! it cuts it! I got the big eyes from him. 

I know if it took a crap today I would have another tomorrow.

I'm on my second one --- after bout 6-8 yrs I had it in upright mode and messing with a too big a piece I bumpted it and over it went and busted in several pieces! I promptly went and got another one, gotta rank in the best 3-4 tools in my shop! Get on you tube, there are gobs of neat tricks/s\alterations you can do to one. Figure right from the start to use the bi-metal blades, they will outlast a carbon steel bout 10 to1, I use a vari-tooth 10-12
