 Super November 10, 2008
A great tool, as good as new, and it performed better than I hoped. I would highly recomend this saw.

So far we have used this saw for cutting window trim on one job and gutters on another job. The gutters were all mitered and it did a nice job. I had to remove and reinstall the blade guard because it would not work. It was installed wrong from the factory.

I bought this saw and it works just fine. I don't use the laser, because I work outside in the sun and can't especially see it. Also, the laser only works if you keep your cut on the left of the stock. But, I cut both ways, depending on where the board is. I'm not going to spin a 16' board around just to use the laser. I bring the blade down before I turn it on and see where it hits the board.
It has an automatic brake on the motor, so when you turn it off, the blade comes to a stop quickly. Nice for keeping noise down.
I have a friend who borrows my "chop saw" and he thinks I spent $600 on it!
 A frustrating saw for even a casual carpenter May 12, 2007

I agree with Mark and Fred. I can't get the blade square with the fence because the fence isn't adjustable enough.
The bevel angles don't seem to be marked correctly (relative to each other, even), either - to get a true 45 degree bevel, I had to adjust the blade. Then, because of that adjustment, the saw couldn't cut straight up-and-down anymore, so I had to adjust the blade again.
I'm just a casual carpenter, but this saw has been rather frustrating. I don't have the tools necessary to modify the fence to make the saw more adjustable, so I have to live with crooked cuts or buy a new saw.
Note: I bought this saw new from Home Depot, not factory reconditioned from Amazon.

I bought this saw when I started my handyman business in 2004. My first job was to install crown molding and I couldn't be carrying my radial arm saw around, so I spent the $200 for the Ryobi. I have had other tools from Ryobi and like them. I have a 3X21" belt sander that works great and a 4 cycle string trimmer that just keeps running even after the volunteers from my wife's community clean-up group gets through with it. This saw did okay on the crown molding but I was only cutting 45's and using the back cut method and I did have to tweak the angle to get a true 45. I was recently trying to cut a wide but small picture frame and instead of just making multiple cuts and tweaking the angle like I've done in the past, I decided to go ahead and align the thing. Well after a frustrating 2 hours and modifying the fence (as Fred did, another reviewer) I finally got the thing to cut perfect 45's...Guess what...It doesn't cut 90's anymore! Wish I could find some tools that are made in the USA. I would pay 3 to 4 times as much for a QUALITY tool!
