Good saw but........, September 2, 2009
By rebuilder

"I like the saw, great value for the money its accurate BUT the blade change is impossible. I'm not a dummy, I have had MANY tools in my 54 years and I can not figure out how when changing the blade to reinstall the safety guard. Too complicated so I left it off! I prefer to have it on but ????????"

Great saw, July 23, 2009
By manderson230 from Chesterfield Co. VA

"I purchased to build a deck. 2x6's were a snap to cut to size. Laser cut line is great for quick alignment. Saw dust collector is almost useless but a quick shot of air clears the work area. I am a very inexperienced carpenter but this saw made me look like a Pro.cutting 2 angles at a time was so much easier than I expected. I recommend highly and the price is great."

Minor Issues, July 20, 2009
By FLAN from Los Angeles, CA

"This is a great model for the price. The only issue I have is when I want to do a 45 degree tilt cut. The cut isn't straight and the blade actually cuts into the saw a little. I have replaced all the trim, casing, and installed hardwood floors using this. If you need this for crown molding I would possibly look into another product."

Not User Friendly, July 17, 2009
By EMPIREREMODELING from Houston, TX

"Great design and works great as is however changing the blade to a finishing blade is almost impossible. It is not easy and you have to have a special tool that even my local saw shop does not have. Second if cutting large crown the fence is to short and NT does not sell any accesories for taller fence cuts. I would not purchase again given the opp."

Best Mother-in-law Ever, July 15, 2009
By Kyleray from arizona

"Purchased for son-in-laws Christmas present. He was getting ready to install hardwood flooring in two rooms of their home. Knowing that he didn't have or know he needed a saw I surprised him. The saw was awsome. First timer and the floor turned out GREAT!!! Now I'm the BEST MOTHER-IN-LAW EVER."

Nice inexpensive saw, July 13, 2009
By KcNh from Warner, NH

"I have only used the Compound Miter saw for a few jobs and found it to be easy to operate and quite accurate. The dust bag is not the best setup though, it's not very large, but if you hooked it to a shop vac the mess is minimal. I don't use it alot, but when I do, I trust it"

Pretty good value!, March 16, 2009
By Top1 from Madisonville, TN

"Saw is very well suited for home hobby or handy man work. I use it for everything from soft wood for bee hives to red oak planking for rocking chairs. If you want something for primarily hard wood, you might need more motor, but you can't beat the funtionality, accessories, and reliability for the price.
Overall very good buy for my thrifty workshop, especially in these hard times!"

Compound Sliding Miter Saw With Laser, March 16, 2009
By stonefox from Blossom, TX

"The saw itself was worth the money. BUT
The trigger handle should be sideways instead of up/down.
This along with the safety button makes it alittle hand to work it.
The laser should also be more on line. The laser light is wider then it should be. Still must line the blade up by sight."

Not for fine work., January 26, 2009
By NewPacific from Newport Beach, CA

"I bought this saw because of the price, laser guide and free shipping. I wish I didn't. The saw is not well made and bends and wiggles when you cut. Not very accurate at all. The laser guide on this saw is pure gimmick. Sorry NT, I don't like this tool you are selling. It's ok for general purpose cutting, but I can't see this saw lasting for very long if you use it on a daily basis. I still grab my old, and I mean OLD, Delta (whick weighs a ton!) for the good cuts.

Pros: Cheap and light weight.
Cons: Everything else!"

Slide Miter Saw, December 31, 2008
By RLamb from CT

"This saw was very easy to setup and operate. Runs relatively quiet and has plenty of power for the tough jobs. The only reason I'm not giving it a 5 rating is due to the laser line, which appears diffused and broad; otherwise, great little saw for the money."

cutting for trusses

"This saw was well worth the money. I'm building a new house, and I,m doing about half of it myself with some friends. I've used this saw probably as much as a contractor would, and knock on wood, it's held up and is going strong. The only thing is the original blade is not that good. I put a good blade on it and it cuts like a dream. I would recomend this saw to anyone. For the price, you can;t beat it.
Many other reviews complain about the laser, but I don't use it much anyway. My shop is so brightly lit you can barely see it anyway. And when I use it outside, you can't see it at all."

Nice Purchase, November 18, 2008
By lrountree from Georgia

"I was real pleased with the purchase of this saw. I work in construction as an electrician, but I am around enough equipment to know good quality when I see it. I was well pleased with the accuracy of the cuts. I could not find a saw with as many features as this one had for the price. Great buy."

home projects then Habitat for Humanity, November 17, 2008
By willsrr from Charlotte, NC

"I first got this when I was insulating my concrete garage, using it to cut furring strips then battens. Since then I've used it on a number of Habitat for Humanity builds, primarily as part of a crew doing interior trim molding. I really like having the laser for alignment. Our crew normally does all of the trim work on a 3-4 bedroom house in a little more than half a day.

I could have paid a lot more for a major brand, but this does everything that I need a a lot less cost."

Does the job but not exactly precise, November 17, 2008
By scottnp from Sandpoint, ID

"For basic framing and miter work, this saw does the job. I have two main complaints:

1) The saw shipped out of alignment in about all facets. The laser sight is a joke and can't be seen until its nearly dark...and who wants to operate this thing in the dark? One rainy Saturday, I'll set about calibrating everything but have gotten used to compensating for those few degrees off.

2) The motor bogs down easily causing the blade to bind. This can happen on something as simple as a slightly dense douglas fir 2x4. If your going to be cutting lots of hardwood, you might want to find a more powerful motor.

Overall, these two annoyances are trade-offs that I'm willing to make for the price-point of this saw."
