+1 for the Makita worm drives. I am amazed that the dam thing wont bog down no matter what you do with it.
Finally wore our my Makita worm drive and replaced it with a dewalt that has the same symptoms as your Feugo. Fairly under powered comparatively speakingDido on the positive comments on the Feugo. The sight line blower is a real help . The only thing is that is does have some gearbox noise that makes it seem that the gear tolerance could be better. I did have to tighten the rivet on the shoe base pivot, and it does have a lot of plastic. Maybe it is just my saw. Does have the LSA for repairs.
Just used my older left hand PC framer after I did a tear down, clean, grease. Now like new, smoothest cut, dust collection, excellent build, quality made in USA about 20 years old, is still the best overall sidewinder design but heavier than the Feugo.
The Feugo is not in any of the store out here. I paid $89 on clearance last year.
I bought and returned 3 of those Bosch's.
Out of the box they were off 3 degrees, table to blade. All of them were the same.
? The scale was off or the 90* pos. stop was off...you can adjust the pos. stop.
I have a Fuego and I also have used the Bosch CS20....the bosch is smooth with great feautures, but the Fuego is a great saw. Small, light, great sight lines, great blower, great depth scale, long cord....the gear box does make noise under load, but for over a year now I have had no problems... I hate using a full size now.

Yeah I bought a bunch of the Gold Ridgid Blades before they all went to that new Avanti Crap. Renaming blades...wtf is that. They are the same as the old Oldham ones... Avanti was a good name, now Lowes Dropped the Avanti line and carrys CMT. There is a nice 12" 96 toother with a full kerf....looks like a nice blade.
