Wouldnt trade my powermax 45 for anything.....except maybe a powermax 65, lol! But honestly my 45 powers through even 1" stuff at times pretty quick.

Auto really? Save your money and get an Ellis....itll save you money and last you for the next 25 years...mine has.

hmmmm.....135 reviews on amazon and still it gets a 4.5 rating out of 5. Just need that first year warranty under your belt, without that....I wouldnt.

Honestly....in comparison to a bandsaw....a chopsaw is almost useless. Do yourself a favor and buy a bandsaw. Milwaukee makes an excellent one....portable one....you can make any cut you want....clean, straight, done!
