Reviews:
Freud's 8-1/2-inch sliding compound miter saw is a reliable and
reasonably priced saw that smoothly cuts wide stock. That said,
people accustomed to other miter saws might find some of Freud's
design characteristics to be less than user-friendly. This saw has
a two-piece blade guard more like those found on radial-arm saws,
and the two-button thumb switch is difficult to operate and a little
annoying when trying to make repeated cuts. Making miter adjustments
requires flipping a lever over to get out of the detent and then
loosening a butterfly-type screw to release the table--another unique
setup that could use improvement. But, despite these less-than-ideal
features, this saw does make clean and accurate cuts and comes with
an excellent Freud blade. It is solidly constructed, has a powerful
motor, and should last a long time. For homeowners and do-it-yourselfers
wanting the horizontal cutting capacity of a sliding compound miter
saw, this is the most affordable way to go. Professionals may want
to consider other models to avoid the extra labor resulting from
this saw's design.
