I took a look at the website. Highland Park is only a name. The saw is made in China. I have a 16" Covington combo saw and I hate it because of the cross feed. It's also bigger than what I would need now so I might be interested in buying one. I have an 8" trim saw, manual feed which is not ideal for slabbing. I would like to know more information about the feed design, the vise, the quality of the supplied blade and the arbor. I might consider the 12" saw. It's not much more and would need to know the kerf for the 10" and the 12" blades. I just bought a new 14" mk301 blade and with the dressing sticks, tax and shipping it was close to $300. The smaller blades are less expensive.
