4.0 out of 5 stars Great saw for home owner or smaller handymen companys, December 10, 2006

By	Joseph A. Robichaud "joecaption" (Hallieford Va) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this saw for the first job I had 3, years ago and it's still being used almost every day. The laser is off by 1/8" and can not be adjusted. The bearings are starting to get loose so the cuts a little off sometimes (1/16). The mitre readings are easy to read but there to cource.
I have trimmed at least 8 whole houses, built a lot of red oak stair cases. Pump houses, garages, dozens of laiminte floors and it's still working fine.

2.0 out of 5 stars A frustrating saw for even a casual carpenter, May 12, 2007

By	Adam J. Di Carlo (Portland, OR USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I agree with Mark and Fred. I can't get the blade square with the fence because the fence isn't adjustable enough.

The bevel angles don't seem to be marked correctly (relative to each other, even), either - to get a true 45 degree bevel, I had to adjust the blade. Then, because of that adjustment, the saw couldn't cut straight up-and-down anymore, so I had to adjust the blade again.

I'm just a casual carpenter, but this saw has been rather frustrating. I don't have the tools necessary to modify the fence to make the saw more adjustable, so I have to live with crooked cuts or buy a new saw.

Note: I bought this saw new from Home Depot, not factory reconditioned from Amazon.

2.0 out of 5 stars If you don't need accuracy, May 9, 2007

By	Mark Pennington "Gizmo's Handyman Srvice" (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this saw when I started my handyman business in 2004. My first job was to install crown molding and I couldn't be carrying my radial arm saw around, so I spent the $200 for the Ryobi. I have had other tools from Ryobi and like them. I have a 3X21" belt sander that works great and a 4 cycle string trimmer that just keeps running even after the volunteers from my wife's community clean-up group gets through with it. This saw did okay on the crown molding but I was only cutting 45's and using the back cut method and I did have to tweak the angle to get a true 45. I was recently trying to cut a wide but small picture frame and instead of just making multiple cuts and tweaking the angle like I've done in the past, I decided to go ahead and align the thing. Well after a frustrating 2 hours and modifying the fence (as Fred did, another reviewer) I finally got the thing to cut perfect 45's...Guess what...It doesn't cut 90's anymore! Wish I could find some tools that are made in the USA. I would pay 3 to 4 times as much for a QUALITY tool!
