received my miter saw guide just a few days after ordering it..works as advertised and was easy to install on my ryobi saw..laser line is seen best in shaded light and not in broad daylight.
After a minor modification to the saw (filed down a tab that is part of the automatic blade guard), it works perfectly!
This is a great idea. It was easy to attach to my Craftsman miter saw with the factory bolt. I had to open it up and bend the centrifugal switch contact to make it more sensitive. This is right next to the battery so it was easy. Note, it is not bright enough to be used outdoors.
I bought this to replace the one I bought about 2 years ago. When i bought the first one, my husband was very happy with it!! then when it dies, he was pouting. So i bought him a new one (changing batteries didn’t work). Now he is happy again, but i hope I don’t have to buy a new one every year or so.
I would have given this no stars if possible. The reason is that it is entirely worthless as an accessory that was produced for accuracy. I bought an Infiniter, and at ten dollars less it is extremely accurate. I received a response from Irwin regarding the inaccuracy of their laser light…they wrote…”The laser guide is installed next to the blade so the cut will not be directly where the laser is on the wood, but will be about 1/16″ off to the side.” …I responded that this very important information should be printed on the package.
Why own something that uses a laser, if it’s going to be approximately a 1/16″ off where your going to make the cut. I’ve seen cheap lasers that guarantee an accuracy of +/- 1/8″ within 50 feet, I find this acceptable. A laser that’s purpose is to project a cut line only inches away, and have it off by a sixteenth of an inch, this is entirely unacceptable. Unless your using it for 2×4 framing (which some do), don’t bother. The instructions state to “align your laser mark and the cut line”. It doesn’t say “align your laser mark with the cut line that should be about a 1/16″ to the right of the laser. One good thing though, you’ll never cut a board too short!! I returned it and took another thinking I simply received a bad one, but it wasn’t the case. The second laser was equally off by a 1/16″. With todays technology, this is inexcusable for any Manufacturer. I’m very surprised being an Irwin product.
