Thanks Charlie,
You say Orion designed the saw and has it built in China?
Wonder what city? Orion is a new name to myself. I admit my ignorance,
but what's their claim to fame?

Without going to far into speculation, and based primarily on a single evening
conversation, Orion is a bunch of guys formerly with, IIRC, Emerson and Delta,
who decided to see what changes they could make to improve tools in order to
sell tools. Fairly new company--under five years? A strong tendency for all of
them to run out of business cards, or forget to carry them, which is a
characteristic of the entire blinking industry, IME.

From the evidence of the Craftsman saw, I'd have to say they've succeeded in
making some major changes, almost all of which are improvements.
