DIY or PRO? RYOBI 18V 7-1/4" Sliding Compound Miter Saw Review [PBT01B]

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

The RYOBI PBT01B 18V 7-1/4" Sliding Compound Miter Saw has the capacity to cross-cut 2x10 lumber, but does it get close to Professional standards? We dig into the features and use it to see if it makes the cut. The Ryobi 18-volt miter saw offers 0-45-degree bevels to one side while you can miter up to 45-degrees in either direction. Ten different detents offer predetermined angles for the most common miters. Even cutting complex crown molding angles is pretty simple for this saw. However, it does lack in the polished features expected in a Professional saw.

    Thank you, great review. I needed something for the DIY weekend warrior and picked it up for $60 on an open box deal with everything it was supposed to come with and no damage. You put me ahead quite a bit. WooHoo, I love it when I catch a good break. 💯

    This is the perfect tool for a 40V system. You don't need the lighter weight of the 18V system but do need the power of the 40V system. Having said that I use it to cut luxury vinyl tile and it works great. It also cuts trim really well, no delays at all.

    I have and love my ryobi tools. They perform well enough to get the jobs I need done without overspending. I would love a cordless saw like this, but this saw I don’t understand. Ryobi has the P3650b which was seems way better design. It was a 10 cordless slider with option of having 2 18 volt batteries for power. Again I don’t understand this step back. Also should have made a plug-in option for added needed power if desired as some mention. Of course ryobi seems to discontinue tools which I don’t understand I’d rather get the p3650b if they bring it back

    I bought and unboxed that Ryobi 10in dual 18V saw. I was immediately dissatisfied. Plastic pointers, pointing to stickers. The slide action of linear bearings was not smooth, just felt cheap. I put it right back in the box. I opted to spend an additional $200 to get the Milwaukee 10" saw (with 12ah battery & rapid charger). It was so worth it! I like a fair about of Ryobi as well, but that particular saw, should stay discontinued. I have a tiny 7 1/4 ryobi miter saw that's 18V. Handy but annoying. When it bogs, it shuts off and required battery be pulled and reinserted. Annoying in middle of a cut for sure. Ultimately I found Dewalt batteries with an adapter eliminated this 'feature'. Still a handy saw, finally.

    Dust bag has same issues as milwaukee., also angle notches underneath are not accurate. The thin metal that holds the angle handle deflects. This is ok for basic stuff but not for a everyday professional. I made a jig for crown the max is 2 2 3/4". Another key is use the best blade for what you are cutting.

    Doesn't look like a new blade will help this saw very much. I have the non-sliding model and the Ryobi blade that came with it is actually a pretty good blade. The one thing I noticed when I put a Diablo blade on is that because the Diablo is thinner it had more flex.

    Why are we reviewing and testing this as if it's supposed to be a "shop saw"? Isn't the perfect application for a saw like this for a contractor or finish carpenter that's making a quick house call to install a few pieces of trim or light carpentry and doesn't want to haul out much heavier/larger jobsite saws? Not everyone is building decks and needs to cut larger lumber.

    I agree. As a contractor I use this for small jobs where my other three saws would just be a pain to haul around. Also great for jobs with no power. And note that it is designed to be used with the HP batteries (the saw has the two new ports which merry to the extra outputs on the HP battery). I cut 2 x 10's with it.

    I'm sorry I'm just not a fan of battery powered miter saws no matter what price point your looking at. If you need a miter saw you need power. Under powered and your in trouble. Blades do make a huge difference cut quality. At $199.00 without a battery and charger your still in the $300.00 range and you can get a quality corded 10" for around that price. (Kobalt 10" dual bevel slider $249.99) Good review as always. Thanks

    Cordless tools are getting a lot more powerful, some are already more powerful than the corded version. While some like Metabo HPT Multi-Volt 36v tool line can work hybrid with either cord or battery and offer same performance either way... Ryobi is just an entry level for DIY'ers/Home Owners and not going to be an example of what the higher end options can offer... While the Kobalt version not only uses a 24v battery instead of 18v but 6 AH instead of the 4 he demonstrated this saw with... But specs are still pretty close to the same... Neither are going to be equivalent to Pro brand saws...

If I was still traveling/contracting I'd try to get into a better quality battery platform like Metabo, Dewalt, Makita from the start. If your diy sure it does the job but you could be spending a little more, get a better quality 10" corded saw. Trim work, and it was still slowing in 1“ hardwood. Sorry just not for me.

    @@jhstyer Understand it's not for you but just pointing out what and who it's for from what it's not. It's not only a DIY/Home Owner range tool but also a Trim Carpentry saw for cutting molding that a 10" saw would be overkill for... Also, understand things like not all DIY'ers/Home Owners are not going to have a shop to work in and extension cords can be dangerous or not reach far enough when working outdoors, and a smaller tool is easier to carry, store, and move as needed. So battery powered tools have their place, they even dominate now in construction work. You may not need it but no tool is for everyone and everyone should use what tool is appropriate to their needs...
