Great idea but laser line does not line-up with blade and kerf. No apparent way to adjust it. Off about 1/16 inch.

Very good item. The only problem was that it had the button cell battery installed and in place from the factory and apparently had sat around for so long that the contacts were corroded. I was able to clean the contacts and use it from there.Irwin Industrial Tools 3061001 Miter Saw Laser Guide

 "I Returned It!" 2010-05-16
By J. Evans (Springfield, VA)
When I installed this laser guide on my Hitachi miter saw, it induced a wobble in the blade. I removed and reinstalled the laser guide at least 6 times, and each time, the blade wobbled. The laser certainly worked, but I'd rather have a true running blade, than a wobbly blade with a laser guide.

 "Fantasatic little tool!" 2010-03-30
By T. Voigt (Stuart, Florida)
I bought this "to try it" and it turns out to be a great tool! I use it on my Delta #36-235 Sidekick Miter Saw

installing crown molding. It does a perfect job of aligning the blade with the cut marks. Makes the whole job a pleasure; if you can say installing crown molding is a pleasure!

 "simple and works well" 2010-03-07
By Northeaster (Boston, MA)
What I have to say is mostly redundant with other reviews, but there is strength in numbers so I'm writing anyway:



1) Installation: dead simple on my DeWalt 713 10" saw. The saw's original arbor bolt is plenty long and there is more than adequate clearance from the blade guard. All that's involved is removing the bolt, inserting the laser between bolt head and blade, then retightening.



2) Visibility of laser line: very good. I have used this only in my basement under strong fluorescent lighting, where it is more than adequate and has a width less than a mechanical pencil line. I suspect it would be fine in reasonably bright sunlight, but have not tested this.



3) Accuracy and reproducibility: very good. As noted by some reviewers, the laser line as installed shines roughly a kerf to the left of where the blade actually cuts. Whether this is due to distortion of the case at installation (as suggested by others) or something else, I cannot say. There is no physical reason it couldn't point directly to the middle of the actual kerf, but this doesn't particularly bother me since it is completely reproducible over many successive cuts. The bottom line is that, if you can accurately mark a piece of stock, you can accurately cut it with this guide.



4) Reliability: has worked for 25-50 hours of cutting without fail.



Overall, it gets 4 stars rather than 5 from me only because of the very minor offset issue. A nice, simple product that works reproducibly well.
