WHAT'S THIS?

Compact Footprint
Wood Magazine, Volume 171, 2006-09

The reviewer said this mitersaw has 12 inches of crosscut capacity yet needs only 25 inches of bench depth--a great space improvement from contractor-style tablesaws. There were many pluses with this saw on top of the space savings: the base-mounted laser can be adjusted to the left side or right side of the blade within seconds, the line is extremely accurate, the miter and bevel angle are microadustable, an LCD display on a gooseneck shows the two angle settings, and cuts were very accurate when compared to a protractor. The compactness of this tool is due to the head (motor and blade) sliding on fixed rails. If the LED display is omitted, the saw is $50 less than its ordinary $650 total price, and the model number for that non-LED version is C12RSH.

Looks like people either love this saw or hate it. I love it. I have had none of the problems mentioned in the complaints, and have been very pleased with the function of the saw. This is a heavy sucker, so put it where you want it and leave it there. Works great, accurate cuts, and doesn't bog down. Those are the big three I look for in a saw, and it does each of those. I'd recommend it. Now, as far as packaging goes, it is pretty lousy. Mine arrived unscathed, but the box was puny. I haven't had to deal with customer service, so I can't comment on them, but if they are like most large corporations today, they probably stink.
