A great saw

Reviewed by: rlatall

Review Summary

I bought this saw at Grizzly from the returns area. It included a new Timberwolf blade. I took it home and spent about 1 hour getting it squared up, adjusted, table leveled, and tensioned correctly. This saw cuts great, probably due to the great blade. I have made precise cuts in 2 1/4 pine blocks with very little blade drift (8 identical pieces, two were not perfect) and I have cut a large 2 1/4 inch plywood block without any drift. I really have been impressed with this saw.

…

Best points: portability, cut accuracy, LED light, blade tensioner release, and stability. Worst points: It is not a 14 inch saw. My 75cfm vacuum will not evacuate the lower cavity completely and the saw must be cleaned out after use. Other points: 3/8 blades maximum, Comments: I got a great deal on this saw. However, I might have bought the Rikon 10-305 if I had seen it first. I have no complaints about this saw and suspect it will last a long time. The guide bearing system seems very good. I would not push this saw and when the blade dulls I will get a new blade rather than push it. I have not had any issues with tracking or blade jumping off the wheels.
