I bought this saw when I was 14 and one of the main reasons I bought it was the cost. It works well for the price but could be improved. One of the downsides is the laser, I only use it to get close then line the rest up without it. If you are on a budget or are only going to use it once in a while then...

“This saw works well for rough work, but not for trim work.”
RonJeremy
South Sioux City, NE
I bought this saw prior to beginning a major home overhaul. The stand is nice to have. The laser quit working almost right out of the box, but I'm not a fan of the lasers anyway. It works well for framing and deck lumber. However, it's a pain to use for finish trim. The fence is not true from one side...

Ive had this saw for about a year and in this time i have remolded 2 houses ,cut over 2000 sq ft of sure lock flooring, endless framing jobs,and swapped the blade with a mason blade and erected 2 carports cutting 4" and 3" support and vertical beams,and with the mason blade have cut miters on about 800' of border block with lots of miters,the saw does need to be tuned for the miters at time but in all a GREAT ,TOUGH saw that's paid for its self over and over again and is still functioning like new.
Great saw, legs to short. I had to build a platform for the saw to be waste high.
I love this saw! The laser is dead-on, and the stand is a great bonus. I've completed two projects with this saw in the last month, and I don't have one complaint.
We've had this saw for about 3 weeks now and it's great. We have used it so far to cut molding that goes around doorways and even crown molding. The clamp it comes with is great for securing the wood and the laser is spot on. The stand is sturdy as well. I purchased this saw when it was on sale for about $119.99 and it was a great buy. I would have bought this saw for the regular price also. The included stand makes it a great value.
i love my saw that bought from sears and thelaser it works but its not that straight
this saw is great but I have to figure out the angles because there were no book with it showing the angles.
I can't recommend this saw. I purchased one 12-06 for a Christmas present. About 2 months after purchase, the plastic saw blade guard broke. About a month after that, the right extention broke. In October of 2007, the metal housing that holds the lazer broke and the lazer just hangs down. I didn't get a chance to take the saw back to Sears for repair until December 2007. They pulled it up on computer and my warranty had expired 2 days previous, so they would not fix the saw. Estimate to repair was more than the cost of a brand new one. I have always liked and used Craftsman products and never had...

I never used a power miter saw before, but I was able to make 100s of cuts for balusters and railings. I am very happy with my new porch railings and I could not have done it without this saw. I am inspired to try more projects with the saw.
The base seems very sturdy to me.
The laser was helpful and visible in daylight shade.
The fence and all other adjustments checked true right out of the box.
The extension arms are sturdy, but the stop blocks are too small.
The laser has it's own switch, so if you don't need it you can turn it off, the saw would still be a bargain without the laser.
I picked this up last week and ended up building a pretty elaborate 8' x 8' trellis. Saw made good, clean cuts. I honestly wasn't expecting something in this price range to perform so well. My only complaint is the bag for catching sawdust- it didn't really work all that well and I still had sawdust everywhere. But overall, great saw at a great price.
This is my second Craftsman 10" miter saw. I bought this on sale for $89.00 with Craftsman club discount. I abused the previous for 5 years cutting firewood to size to fit my wood stove. I know... not the greatest idea, but it saved me alot of money and paid for itself many times over. For the money you can't beat the value. I trust Craftsman.
I struggled with my circular saw trying to cut angles on landscape timbers marked by my son's protracter for a day before I wised up and purchased this saw. It was on sale, but would be a great bargain if it weren't.
I went from 5 minutes a cut (with low accuracy) to 15 seconds with precision!
The only bad part of the saw was the "clamps" that were suppose to hold the wood down. The screw on the left one stripped with my first attempt to use it, and the one the right doesn't even fit into the hole it's supposed too. Poor manufacturing there. Turns out, I don't need, and wouldn't use those anyway....

I got tired of using a box miter and had a large building project ahead of me that I needed a good saw. I've had the saw for a year now and it has performed wonderfully
