tool shop brand slide saw any good?

I was looking at saws at a local home improvement store. They have a tool
shop brand 12" slide saw on sale for $180. It looks OK for the money. I
don't plan on using the saw too often since I only build a few projects a
year.
Does anyone have any experience or comments on this brand of saw?

Thanks in advance

Don't worry about it. Some people (such as Bulter) are morons.

He told you in the subject line. "tool shop" brand. Learn to slow down and
read instead of criticizing someone for your stupidity.

What brand of tool is in the shop? Capital letters will give a whole new
meaning to your questions. You can use either shift key to accomplish that.

Table saw I know. Band saw I know as well. I also know about a scroll
saw, sabre saw, mitre saw, jig saw, hand saw, buzz saw and more. I have
seen a slide trombone, a slide whistle, a slide carburetor, and even a slip
n' slide. I have seen mitre saws with one or two slides but never a "slide
saw".

Is a table saw a slip saw or is it a push saw? Is there a shove saw or a
whirr saw as well?

All these nick names are confusing.

That is interesting.

So a left tilt table saw would a a left saw.

I think I am starting to get it now. It was all rather confusing at first.
This woodworking stuff is tricky but not bad once you get the hang of it.

Reminds me of something I saw on TV once. One fellow was selling some time
sensitive yet valuable information in addition to Tutsi-Frutsi Ice Cream.

Thanks for informing me about slide saws.

Sometimes humor is wasted. Other times it is missed only to have you smack
you upside the head when you least expect it.

I appreciate the advice but I have no aspirations to be an entertainer.

It's a very low-end brand, and their sliding miter saw is likely to have
more movement than most of us would tolerate.
