Hi All, Last evening I purchased a Craftsman 10 in. Sliding Miter Saw model 21237. I found one review by a user who gave it a 5.0 except for the lazar which in his opinion is not bright enough. For some reason I don't think that I will have a problem with that feature. I made so many bad cuts

Hi All, I am very impressed with the new saw, except for the blade. I decided to open it before my son-in-law came over. I didn't need him. The only assembly was to screw in the locking nob/handle in front. Took all of 2 minutes. Making some small cuts I found that they are not as smooth as I

Sure! although by now it probably doesn't matter all that much. I expect any liquid has already drained out. It may be though that sugars from soft drink are left behind and they may smell a little as the components heat up. Dale Leavens, Cochrane Ontario Canada [EMAIL PROTECTED] Skype

Nope, I don't know of any that are blind friendly and ready to go. The pocket hole jigs are very easy to use and you will get the hang of it right away. The placement of the depth collar on the drill bit is critical to the system working properly. This is what determines that the screw comes

I have one from MLCS. I did have to have someone initially set it up for 3/4 stock. I intend to cut small pieces of wood for quick setting up of 1, 3/4 and 1/2 stock. The instructions for setting the stop collar were very simple. Place the bit in the jig so that the tip of the bit is about 1/8

Lenny, fifteen amps at 120 volts i assume doesn't add up to three horsepower. 1 HP requires about 750 wattsand your motor is rated at 15 times 120 or 1560 watts, or just a bit over 2 HP. It'll probably do just fine. wish i had room and need for a neat saw like that. Have fun and be carefull
