I picked up a 4512 about 6 months ago and couldn’t be more pleased with it. I purchased a Freud 24 tooth (if you will be ripping, a good idea) and 80 tooth blade from Home Depot the same day as the saw.

I would also suggest a zero clearance insert (easy to build) if you plan on doing any fine work, it has helped me out tremendously. Looks like a wealth of info in knotscott’s blog. I am headed over there now. :)
