Appreciate a real review instead of an unboxing session and description of its features. There are too many clowns out there.

First off great review completely honest second I wouldn't let the blade fly up like that always try and guide it back up slowly instead of letting the blade fly up to smack the stop they definitely should put something to slow that down on the next one..... third of all you should always let the blade stop before you let it come back up that keeps your cut accurate if you let that come back up while the blade is running you're going to get marks from the teeth of the blade and your cut will be a little off ..... still a great review keep up the good work

Just bought one today. My first ever sliding miter saw. Glad you gave it an ok review, as i had no idea which one to buy. I'm real excited. My projects should go a lot faster, and more straight lines than the old hand held. I was terrible with that thing. Thanks for posting

Turn the miter to 45 degrees then it will be more compact to store away

Excellent review and a very good closeups and detail in your video. - As you mentioned it makes sense to review the tool AFTER USING it for a while. - This makes the review more credible and interesting. Thank you for your efforts

I love the moving camera technique you use. It definitely raises the bar for KZread videos. Well done!

This is by far the best honest review of this model. Thank you.

I just got this at home depot for $129 👍🏻

Must be a special deal, out of box or display... current discounted price = $179, down from $199 (Dec 20, 2020).

I’ve never just let the handle go

Slide your saw all the way forward and then tighten down the slider lock with the head all the way forward and that makes it much easier to transport. Ditch that stock blade to it's a POS, I went with a Diablo 50 tooth combination blade on mine and it works freakin great, cuts things like 2x4's as fast as my 32 tooth and nice and clean like my 60 tooth!

I have one myself it is very good quality for the price Long Live Ryobi designed with Pride

Thanks for getting straight to the point it is appreciated greatly

You have the black arm supports installed incorrectly. There is another set of holes you're supposed go past before tightening the screw. It's more solid and adjustable after you do this.

Still have 5 fingers? Little aggressive with such small pieces.

Interesting comment about auto-brake on switch not working - that blade would still keep spinning. My problem is that the blade seems to be locked and motor doesn’t turn at all. Thought the motor might have had a problem, but maybe the switch is broken! Will have to check that out. Otherwise, I agree with all the commentary, I don’t do professional or high-end carpentry, and found the quality more than adequate for my needs. Except for the switch apparently! Also there are screws to hold the side guides in place. They can be useful but at least they can be slid in or under the frame to get them out of the way.

I wonder why your saw has a little knob on the tightening clamp so you can lock it in place mine doesn't have a knob on the back it just slides in or out. Weird

My Dewalt springs back like that too

Can you do a blade switch tutorial

1st thing I did was change my blades to Diablo And on my cutting saw. Use stock blades as backup

Probably the best miter saw for the money. You could spend approximately twice the price for a Dewalt miter saw.

I cannot believe you were freely sliding your hand underneath the blade while it was spinning....

In today’s world you just chopped up about $25,000 worth of lumber.

TY for the review even if it is from almost 2.5 years ago, it has good info i am using today to buy this model over a few other cheaper brands i ALMOST bought. I think this model is worth the extra dollars for more metal vrs plastic and stick on measuring labels the others use. I'm going with the sliding version because i am not a fan of the used table saw i have now, so i can use the slide for the few times i need larger cuts. TY

Good thorough review. Thanks!

I have a miter saw can cuting 4x4inch or 3x6inch or 2x8inch

Ever try mounting it to a proper work bench.....it might stop doing a disco?

Thanks for the video. Maybe you can help, though. I've been having problems with the sliding action not staying true, and when I've finished sliding through the wood, unless you immediately pull out the left side of your workpiece, the blade makes an annoying indentation. Ugh! I checked and re-checked the blade, the angles, etc., and the indentation was still there. So, chop after chop, I tried pulling the left side of the piece away, or pulling the blade handle to the right, and the indentation seemed to become unnoticeable. To me, this is either a serious flaw with the slide, or just user error. Then again, this is my first miter saw.

Do you have any tips on how you squared it up after it got out of whack? I have the same saw and I’ve messed around with the fence and the blade, I made a zero clearance insert, and for the life of me I can’t get it to cut perfect 90° or 45° cuts

Thank you for this review.

No nonsense review, I like your style.

Beat on it, as if it was a rental. Mad respect and thank you for the review.

my saw did that where it kept spinning for a while. the blade nut had come loose. tighten it up and voila... perhaps your saw has another issue...

I bought this saw at Home Depot during their Spring Black Friday event for $129. I was looking at other saws, but that was too good to pass up and the reviews are good. By the way, you can cut any angle with a miter saw. Check out FinishCarpentryTV. The guy shows you how to cut angles greater than 45 to do trim moulding. Does anyone know if you can cut 4 5/8" crown with this saw with it standing up at an angle. Thanks

Appreciate your video.

Very important if you would like to saw with precision. (avoid torsion as much as possible)! Always choose a Miter saw with a handle positioned in a vertical line above the saw blade. Everything must be aligned, slide rails, handle, and saw blade, it is much better this way the blade will not tilt. Because there is some torsion in the aluminum housing . And choose an engine with softstart on it to prevent wear of the gear and worm shaft. It is very important that everything is aligned. Here are some examples to show how the handle must be positioned above the blade. Bosch gcm 800 sj / Bosch gcm 8 sjl / Evolution rage 3 / FESTOOL KS 60 / HITACHI C12RSH2 / FESTOOL KS 60 E KAPEX / Metabo KGSV 72 Xact . (This also is the case with the Miter saw without the slide rails). If you want you can test it yourself at home if there is torsion in the aluminum housing. Step-1. First you make a saw cut from +-5 mm deep in to a flat piece of wood. To this with the normal handle positioned on the right side of the Miter saw. Step-2. Then repeat this by pushing the saw blade down with your hand (finger) on the aluminum protective cover were the saw blade is cased in. Just now only do this without the running engine. Step-3. Now you can see if the saw blade will be positioned in or next to the saw cut. If the saw blade is (+- 0,2 / 0,5 mm) next to the saw cut then there is torsion in the aluminum housing. Step-4. therefor it is much better to choose a Miter saw with the handle positioned vertical in line above the saw blade. Conclusion: how further away the handle is from the saw blade how more chance of torsion in the aluminum housing.

Awesome and practical video and definitely much better than other unboxing videos! Btw, can you cut 4x6 just in one cut?

5 years later I just watched this guy cut up enough lumber to pay for my car lol

Great review.

There are bolts on the backside of fence to loose square up then tighten.

I'm going to pick up my second one tomorrow. The first one was way out of line and the screws were too frozen to adjust without stripping. But these were on a good sale and I had a coupon, so I'll give it a second chance. Good to hear that you've had good luck with the alignment. Quite a few sparks coming out of the motor. Is that normal?

Good review. Thanks

One problem I had was with the plastic guard. As you stated, the blade continues to rotate after you finish the cut. I picked up the unwanted wood to the right of the cut and accidentally pushed it against the plastic guard which in turn self distrusted when it came into contact with the rotating blade.

No, you're an idiot for using a saw unsafely. You are meant to WAIT FOR THE BLADE TO STOP SPINNING COMPLETELY before lifting the blade up.

The one I bought is terrible. The bevel angle is not straight (vertical) and I had to adjust to slightly off 0 degrees to match. Also, when you lock the sliding option, you can't get a clean cut as part of wood is still in tack. I'm not sure whether this is normal with sliding saws because this is my first sliding one.

How wide can it cut

I can tell from the cutting in this video that the blade sucks. I'm about to buy one of these because I'm building a deck now but I'll have to get a Diablo blade at the same time.

thank

good review, thanks!

I just bought one from HD with the stand for free. mostly using for cutting up firewood to use in my BBQ smoker. I guess I should fin other uses for it though!

Great review. Do u still recommend saw

Does anyone know why the blade brake isn't working every time?

Very important always buy a Slide Compound Mitre Saw with the handle in a line above the saw blade,everything has to be in line Slide bar rails,handle,and saw blade. it's better no tilt saw blade, and engine with softstart.

I don't know why they built this to tilt to just one side the ridged does tilt to both sides

Don't let go of the handle like that. It's a lazy habit.

#teamlildawg

U say your blade is stock blade and u should probably change it and you can hear it needs changing so.....now the motor is working overtime

just bought at home depot - dont have the laser - just LED light what gives???

Home Depot version doesn't have the laser cut line, only a LED to cast a very shadow by the blade for alignment line. This is really lame.

That video has many security flaws ..... especially the countless times that the man in the video carelessly sticks and dangerously brings his hands to the saw blade while it is turning .... very risky and careless behavior.....

You forgot to mention the lazer

You certainly do a lot of WHINING...WHY DID YOU BUY IT?

my new ryobi was so far out of alignment on all levels it made me want to vomit. It took me all day adjusting every part to square it up. The instructions were so small, in pictures that you couldn't see what to do. No written instructions. It's working fine now, no thanks to ryobi

This guy sounds like eeyore

They haven't changed the design in 5 years. It sucks. It's constantly off square between the miter and the bevel. You cannot rely on this saw.
