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 like the release lever on the depth of cut adjustment that is in place of a simple wing nut. I bought this as a gift for my son. 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 motor also has ball bearings. The electrical cord is very stiff and does not hang loosely. The result is that cuts are not accurate and may wander.
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. I always check the base plate on a circular saw for flex. This is a good solid saw. 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. I do not know if the laser can be adjusted, but I would expect it can.
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. I love that laser. Bought it refurbished didn't need a new one. This replaced a 30 year old saw that finally died. It works like a new one. What a deal.
I didn't realize how bad my old 20 year old saw was. First time I used this new one I cut thru my sawhorse without even realizing it. Highly recommend the laser, makes even my cuts look like a pro did it.
