Yes I believe so. On my current mitre saw the adjustment knob is at the back, so having it at the front will be much easier. It arrives Monday. I admit to it being higher spec than I need, it's only for DIY etc, but I have had loads of use out of my current cheap brand mitre saw which has just failed, so decided to spend a bit more and go for a really good replacement.Nice, is the knob on the front of the top slide to micro adjust the head tilt bevel?
