Good value

I am a remodeler. I was looking for a compact, light weight saw to supplement my larger much more expensive slide compound saw. Over 90 % of all work you need a miter saw for can be done with this 10″ skill miter saw. It is the miter saw I will use for most work.

This saw looked to be a good value of quality and features. Out of the box adjustment were all close. Laser required a washer to shim under left mounting screw to allow proper alignment. Laser line a little fussy on the right side of cut, but I consider the laser a gimmick ad on anyway. The same washers as under the laser, under the 4 screws that hold the kerf insert in place brought it up flush to the main table level. 40 tooth blade that came on the saw not up to my standards for smooth cuts on a miter saw, but I expected that. Blade will work great for most work on my table saw. Bonus!

I would recommend this saw for quality and value. Flaws were minor and easily tweaked.
