Time will tell if it's a good saw. But certainly poor factory quality control which I'll explain shortly. It is a heavy and serious saw and certainly is capable of processing a lamb. It is not easy to clean but no saw like this would be I suppose. They make it easy to disassemble a couple components which does aid in cleaning. The biggest problem was that it didn't work when I first plugged it in. I had already varified that my amperage was sufficient so I took a look at the motor wiring to make sure it wasn't wired for 220v. It wasn't but I found that one of the power supply lines was trapped between the start capacitor bracket and the motor housing. (Only possible during assembly) I took care of the damaged wire and correctly routed it. Thank goodness that fixed it. I would send a pic but the motor housing was too much of a pita to put back on.
