Doughamm3 says "Don't buy it!" about Craftsman Professional Laser Trac 12 in. Sliding Compound Miter Saw

Doughamm3 — Mon, 02 May 2011 20:43:54 GMT

Got this saw as a gift from my wife. Have serious concerns about its safety. Slide arm sticks badly after a few cuts. Sent it out for repair, got it back and after a few cuts it sticks again. Im afraid im going to cut off a body part pushing or trying to pull it back and having the saw stick and my hand keep going. I found online others have this same problem. I was a Sears Craftsman fan but not so sure now. I feel bad my wife wasted money for this one.

JoeyJingles says "Best entry level mitre saw on the market" about Craftsman 10 in. 15A Compound Miter Saw with Laser Trac

Many years ago my brother and I started a business trimming houses and went to Sears for the tools to get started. We bought this 10 inch mitre saw, a 10 inch arm saw, a compressor and guns, and a router among others.

You must have a plan for what you will be doing to know which sized saw you need. The 10 inch mitre is a good entry level saw which is priced right, is accurate, has a superior warranty and is well built. For most DIY homeowners it is plenty and will do most of what an arm saw will do but is much easier to transport and set up on remote sites. The arm saw is better for repeat cuts of 1 x 12 lumber or same sized cuts in numbers. This mitre however will cut angles better and sets in place much faster. We built our own stand of 1 x 12 with extensions that folded down on either end and a backboard for clamping a block for repeats. Today there are trick, portable stands.

Any 10 inch mitre has its limits and these are overcome by going to a 12 inch or larger saw. These limits may...

This saw cuts straight and true. Laser is right on. Dust collection works as well as any miter saw will. Takes Sears small shop vac hose. I found a nice slow steady cut works great and is right on the money for both 90 and 45 degree cuts.

dm8711 says "Craftsman 10" Laser Trac Miter Saw cuts clean ! " about Craftsman 10 in. 15A Compound Miter Saw with Laser Trac

Picked this saaw up on sale for a DIY project. I have to say I was pretty impressed. Reading reviews about the Laser Trac system, I wasn't sure how well it was going to work. When I actually used the saw, I found it really didn't matter anyway. I found that I reverted back to the old way and lined the cut mark that I had penciled on the wood up with the saw blade and cut it by eye ! You know, the same way we have been doing it for years ! The saw works great and has plenty of power for home projects. If I was a contractor I would certainly want something bigger, but for the occasional project this works great. The plastic parts haven't been an issue, of course I don't throw my tools around either.

Barleys says "A real great COMPOUND MITER SAW,Dewalt the only name you need." about DeWalt 10 in. Compound Miter Saw, Heavy Duty

Barleys — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 22:26:39 GMT

This saw is one of the very best I have ever owned and used. I have had many other models that don't compare to this fast moving true cutting machine. The miter cuts are true as well as the cut lines are clean. Best saw I could ever buy and use for the money.

Its easy for a woman as well as a man to use and understand.

I would tell anyone to give it a try. You won't be sorry and its a good deal for the money and the years of use you get from it.

danny37 says "Pretty good price but a little sluggish on the slide." about craftsman 12" compound miter saw

danny37 — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 21:06:52 GMT

Just purchased this saw and found it to be a good price. The slide is sluggish and the dust collector don't work. But for cutting boards for trim work and my hobby business, it does a pretty good job.

Bought this saw for my husband. He loves it. With the sliding arm he can cut wider boards than with a regular miter saw.

mapweb2000 says "a good saw for the price" about Craftsman 10 in. 15A Compound Miter Saw with Laser Trac

The 10" 15 amp miter saw is a great saw especially when you consider the price ($89.99 on sale). The 10" blade will limit what you can cut to 2x4 or smaller. If you are cutting long stock I recommend making your own extended fence for it. The laser is battery powered (which is weird) so don't forget to turn it off when done. Make sure you adjust the with a square before using (mine was off quite a bit).

It paid for itself on a recent crown molding job. I find myself using it a lot instead of my circular saw. It's much easier and safer. All around this is a great tool to have.

trib says "Buy it" about Craftsman 10 in. 15A Compound Miter Saw with Laser Trac

trib — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 19:57:11 GMT

Good value. It has side extensions to assist with longer cuts and a nice portable stand. The blade is good quality. My pops has a different Craftsman miter which did not come with a stand. I have used both and each are solid tools. This one was a touch more costly as it can handle larger cuts and has the stand. I guess it comes down to your need.

The dust bag fills quickly so it requires you to either empty often or have more clean-up. Worse things could happen.

I have played around with the laser a bit and can't seem to get it accurate. But, I don't use the laser much anyway as prefer to make check before I cut. I guess the laser would be the one con.

4 Stars.

I purchased this saw a couple of years ago. I have used and abused it. It still works like it came out of the box. The quality is fantastic for the price. This is a true Craftsman. Tested, reliable, and always works. Definitely a thumbs up to Sears....
