the laser is not aligned to the 0 mark on the saw base. Otherwise, for 69 bucks + 29 for a rip fence is a decent tool. Used it to trim the side of a door which didn’t fit in the frame. The combination allowed me to perform a “surgical” cut. Besides the laser (1/16th of an inch to the right of the blade) i can say I’m pretty pleased.
This was a gift for my brother.Price was right w/options I wanted.Not the cheapest saw on the market but who wants that.Brother was very happy.It’s a little to cold out to test power tools right now.I don’t imagine I’ll here anything for a while.Thanks-Merry christmas!!!
I bought this as a gift for my son. I always check the base plate on a circular saw for flex. Too many saws, even more expensive than this one, have weak base plates that bend a little from the weight of your hand on the saw. The result is that cuts are not accurate and may wander. This saw has a surprisingly rigid base plate. The fact the saw’s motor draws 14 amps indicates it has plenty of power, especially with a carbide tipped blade. The motor also has ball bearings. I like the release lever on the depth of cut adjustment that is in place of a simple wing nut. This is a good solid saw. I did use the saw a couple of times and found the laser fell a bit more to one side of the line than it should. The laser can not be adjusted. The electrical cord is very stiff and does not hang loosely. A couple of times its stiffness almost caused it to come into the path of the blade.
This is a good basic saw at a great price. The laser feature is very helpful.
Great saw. Bought it refurbished didn’t need a new one. This replaced a 30 year old saw that finally died. I love that laser. It works like a new one. What a deal.
