I have to downgrade this item as I noticed that the laser and blade are not aligned. I tried to find an adjustment, but I could not, so I went online to Porter-cable website and got no help there. They show how to adjust the kerf guide but I guess I am stuck with the laser where it is. Now I have to draw the line 1/8" to the left to get a true cut.
I got this last week and have used it on one project. I built a rail for the garage stairs out of 2x4's with it and it was great. Quieter than my last saw which was a Skil. The laser is amazing. I used it in the garage and had no trouble seeing it clearly and cutting with it. I cut across the end at a 40 degree bevel no problem. I cut several pieces with the laser at 40 degrees as well as straight and it handled every cut quick and easy. As one reviewer said it is a little heavy but I think this adds to the stability. I am very happy with this purchase.
Cons: The only con I found so far is I find it to be a little on the heavy side which I guess you want in a durable saw but is heavy.
Neither pro nor con is the laser light guide, which is one of those cool toys I always wanted on a saw, however, I always strike or draw a line on the material I'm cutting and I don't use it. I did try it and it makes a nice guide line but it is difficult to see when working outdoors in sunlight. I think a laser light guide would be more practical on a chop saw.
Overall I don't think you can beat this saw for the price, I would recommend it.
This is the problem with ordering a necessary without seeing your product first.
