I used to use my Femi 120 all the time, but it cuts slightly crooked. The bottom of the cut is about 1/16" closer to the vise than the top. So I've learned to lift the piece to cut a little on the blade side to compensate. So I rate the saw as "just ok", and I tend to use my bandsaw more and more.

I notice it on tubing -- any kind. Material doesn't matter. Since I never cut solid material, I can't say if this is a tubing-only only issue. I've scoured the manual and contacted the vendor about this, but without luck. So I just clamp the material slightly uphill, and live with the problem.
