Ryobi 10" Compound Miter Saw w/Laser Sight

Ryobi 10" Compound Miter Saw w/Laser Sight


Rating:I Rate It 4


Ryobi Miter Saw

The Ryobi 10" compound miter saw with laser sighting is a good quality product at a low end price, comparable in price to such brands as Black & Decker and Craftsman. I have used this small saw extensively for everything from bird houses to night stands and found it to be well worth the price ($99 dollars at Home Depot®). The only thing that made me rate this four stars instead of five is the laser sight and the dust bag. The laser is just a general guide and not for accurate cutting, and the dust bag collects more sawdust on the outside than the inside.

This is a good saw for the money.

After years of having a cheapie night table in our guest bedroom, I decided to make a new night stand using the Ryobi 10" compound miter saw.
