I bought this back when I remodel and add a larger kitchen, laundry room and 2 bedrooms to my house. I did my own laminate floorings and this was very handy. I also been using it when it comes to cutting one bys or smaller. I used it to cut 1/4 thick boards crosscut and rip when I make small boxs. Alot lighter than my Rigid R4516 when I am just cutting up small stuff
