Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've had this saw for about six years and can't really complain. It's a pretty good saw for the price. It's not top of the line, but neither is the price. I have had no problems in the time I have owned it. I replaced the blade with a 12" Freud Diablo and it cuts great. Smooth cuts every time. The dust collection is just OK. Even with a shop vac hooked up there will still be some saw dust that doesn't go in the collection port. The laser works great. Just remember that the laser will be 1/16" to the left of where the cut will be. That's because the laser is mounted on the sawblade/arbor. It uses some small batteries and only turns on when the saw is running because the switch works by centripetal force. With light use, the laser's batteries lasted about 4 or 5 years. They were easy to change. The miter action works fine. I wouldn't call it smooth (like some of the higher-end saws, like the Bosch) but it's not rough either. There are stops at 45 and 33.something for crown molding. The bevel action is OK also. The scale for the bevel adjustment is hard to get absolutely perfect, so for precision work use an angle finder of one sort or another. There are no stops on the bevel adjustment.
My saw (which was bought at the orange big-box store) came with a powder-coated stamped steel stand. Very basic but functional. The one gripe that I do have about this saw is that the bolt holes in the saw base do not line up exactly with the holes in the stand. I don't think I've ever used the detachable vise. The cutting capacity is pretty good. It will easily cut a 4"x4".
All in all, I think it is a good middle of the road saw. It's not a seven hundred dollar Bosch, but is alot better than a 99 dollar Ryobi. I've been happy with it. I may eventually upgrade to a saw with more features, but this one has done me well for a while....
