No Laser or LED Guide
Would Not RecommendI purchased this to replace an old Craftsman mitre saw that had a failed laser guide. I really did not care whether the saw had a laser or an LED guide but I incorrectly assumed this saw had a guide. I can’t believe ANY mitre saw these days would come without a guide. It seems like basic functionality. I will be returning it.

Blade won't spin
Would Not RecommendI have had my saw for about a month, when i went to change the blade, it stopped spinning or with barely moves and sounds like the motor will burn up. I will not claim to be a expert, but when someone who does it for living came over to look at it and make sure i did it correctly, even he was puzzled at why it was doing that. Took blade off and turned it on, it seemed to work just fine, so if you know what i am doing wrong, please feel free to respond and I will change my star rating, but not su...

Excellent Saw and Stand Combo
