I cannot think of any reasons. Did you buy it?

not yet. I have been told that the three wheel saws have a problem with blade breakage so im still thinking about it. Thanks for the reply.

Ah, I was thinking a two wheel 16” saw. I would stay away from 3 wheel saws….

Im now looking at a two wheel 14” craftsman on craigslist for 100$. I’ll see if its still avaliable tomorow

Be sure and see what accessories come with it. Extra blades, miter gauge, fence, etc add up.

Yes I agree Wayne, If it dosent have any accessories Its not worth it. Im definately gona need a fence.

Most 3-wheelers are cheesy handyman-grade saws.
Blades break often on them as well and they
aren’t much good for thicker work. They sometimes
have tracking problems as well, throwing blades
easily.

The INCA 3-wheeler is a notable exception. That’s
a good machine.

I’d get a 2-wheel saw over a 3-wheel in general.

Over the years however a few small American
manufacturers have turned out 3-wheel saws that
are probably a lot better than the Chintzy table-top
machines with small wheels. I’ve seen a few
with no names and 24 or 30” throats. I was told
one was for cutting aluminum sheets.
