Kobalt Lowes 12-in 15-Amp Dual Bevel Sliding Compound Corded Miter Saw with Laser Guide

awesome saw

Bought this saw to build a shed. Works really good. Main reason for buying this saw was the floor mode has roof pitch marks on it. Got the saw home and opened it up and there was no pitch marks on the saw. Dissapointed about that but would recommened the saw.

Kobalt saw

I purchased this saw and had read of most of the problems that others had with it. This same saw is available on Amazon for 50% more than from Lowes making it cost $450.00 from Amazon. That spoke volumes to me so I decided to purchase it as I needed such a saw with all these features. When I got it home and set it up I discovered that the crosscut was out of line by a couple of degrees and was easily adjusted. The laser was spot on and there were clearly marked adjustments for the laser, perhaps...

Don’t waste your money

What a piece of crap! It has plastic knobs that pull out and turn to adjust the degree of angle you wish to cut, problem is if you pull it out, it just spins around. Looking at the manual is of no help because the manual explains how it is suppose to work, not how it doesn’t. I feel I just wasted my money. I should have spent the little extra, but I would have thought spending $300, I would get a good product.

almost purchased this saw

take a another look!most reviews complained about the laser-moot point check the play in the angle detents-also need notice the slop or play in the rail== not worth $299.00 maybe $179.00. i looked hard at this miter saw to purchase -like i said take a close look!

Poor quakity

Bought this saw a couple years ago, made a few cuts and put on the shelf. Did a bigger project recently and noticed that the fence is not straight, so you can not make square cuts. Checked the floor model in the store and it is the same way. I hope kobalt makes this right and will send me a fence that is straight. Otherwise this $300 dollar saw is worthless garbage. Very disappointed. Will spread the word about poor kobalt quality unless it’s made right. Will be making YouTube video and using s...

Ok rough cut saw

Bought this to replace my old DeWalt chop saw. Price was good so I took a chance. Won't do that again... This saw looks good & has nice bells and whistles but... If you only do rough cut or framing work, this saw might work for you. If you do finish work, don't waste your time with this one. It's simply not built for quality finish work.

Good saw with a little help

Bought the upgraded model today after traveling to several stores to find a saw. After getting it home to set it up I found that the knob for the single double bevel was not attached. Contacted 1-888-3kobalt and had no luck with any information on the saw. It was a waste of time and was transferred to corporate and then a store. He had no idea what I was talking about. He just removes the blades when he puts one on display. Local Lowes did not have the updated one on display. There is a gr...

don't waste your money

first time I used this saw the turn table clogged up with sawdust and was barely able to move. should have bought the Dewalt right out of the gate.

Saw works, but angle gauge is inaccurate

The saw itself works great. The issue lies within the angle markers And built in detents on the saw. They're inaccurate by quite a bit. Not good for a miter saw! The laser guide is also worthless and didn't have enough range of adjustment built in to properly zero it in.
