The Harbor Freight saw was about $25.00 with coupon when I bought the last one a couple of months ago. The first one lasted for several years, as Duke had bought it and cut thousands of pcs. of brass with it and then I took over the task of cutting the brass and cut over 20,000 pcs. before it died. Small investment for the saw, Works great with the fixtures that Duke had Chuckbuster make and is very safe to use
