RonJeremy says "This saw works well for rough work, but not for trim work." about Craftsman 10 in. Rear Laser Compound Miter Saw

RonJeremy — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 15:35:40 GMT

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 to the other. I use my own angle gauge when setting the bevel angle because the indicator on the saw is not accurate. The single-direction bevel is also quite inconvenient. Bottom line: this saw is acceptable for someone looking to frame a garage or build a deck, but I would spend the money for a more precise saw if you intend to do finish work.

lumberjock15 says "Overall Good saw" about Craftsman 10 in. Rear Laser Compound Miter Saw

sears-feed — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 23:00:03 GMT

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 is a good saw but if not I would go for a little better quality....

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....

Jaret says "Great Saw!" about Craftsman 10 in. Rear Laser Compound Miter Saw

sears-feed — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 11:45:18 GMT

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....

Statfan52 says "2 stars" about Craftsman 10 in. Rear Laser Compound Miter Saw

sears-feed — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 23:46:43 GMT

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 any problems until this saw. It was a lemon from the start....

jzrouterman says "Pretty good saw for the money" about Craftsman 10 in. Rear Laser Compound Miter Saw

sears-feed — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 21:45:19 GMT

I've used this saw along with my radial saw for crosscuts and miters. I occassionally will put a triangular square up to it to check it's on-going trueness, and so far it has kept it on both crosscuts and miters, I mean RIGHT ON THE MONEY trueness. I don't use the laser because it's not dead on true. But then there aren't too many saw lasers that are. When measuring for a cut, I use the old stand-bys, a tape or a yard stick. I also don't use the extentions. Instead, I built extention ploatforms on a miter table for it. It works great, as good as $300.00 Dewalt. If set up and operated correctly, this saw will give a lot of trouble free, and accurate service. The one big problem with this saw is the stand. It's very shacklety. However, this can be fixed by drilling another hole and adding another bolt, lockwasher and nut at every joint. If this is done, it then becomes quite stabble, or just build or buy another stand for it. Either way, it would be a big improvement. Barring the stand, the......

DIYer178 says "Can't beat the value!" about Craftsman 10 in. Rear Laser Compound Miter Saw

sears-feed — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 10:30:03 GMT

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....

Anonymous says "powerful little saw" about Craftsman 10 in. Rear Laser Compound Miter Saw

sears-feed — Mon, 03 Sep 2007 10:15:09 GMT

I purchased this saw a couple of months back, but am just now getting around to reviewing it. For starters, the stand was easy to assemble and is held together with good ol fashioned bolts and nuts, which, along with the adequate but not overly heavy weight of the metal stock, makes for a pretty sturdy piece that supports the saw well. Even so, the entire assembly (with saw) is light enough to pick up and move effortlessly. The power of this saw really impessed me. Mind you, most of what I've cut with this saw is pine, but I've cut everything from 3/4" corner trim to seasoned 4X4's, and so far, everything I've put in front of it so far, the blade goes through it like a hot knife through butter. If there's one complaint, it is that it does not quite cut 4X's thru completely (leaves a small tag), but that is not a real issue, as the wood can be flipped if necessary and cut from the other side . Cutting accuracy seems good (although I had to square the fence and fine tune the miter and bevel......

GrandpaSteve says "Made Railings and Balusters a Breeze" about Craftsman 10 in. Rear Laser Compound Miter Saw

sears-feed — Wed, 13 Jun 2007 17:15:09 GMT

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....

huskyhorse says "nice and lite" about Craftsman 10 in. Rear Laser Compound Miter Saw

sears-feed — Fri, 08 Jun 2007 07:01:37 GMT

We were looking for a lite weight saw that we could move around easy to our various projects. Our big dewalt is more cumbersome to move all the time. This is just what we need for quick jobs. Seems to have enough power. The only thing we don't like is the slide out suports slide out when you don't want them to on the off side when cutting pieces rept. Other than that, seems to do just fine....
