Tools and Hardware Reviews of Irwin Industrial Tools 3061001 Miter Saw Laser Guide
Customer Review: Works for me!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I never leave feedback on anything I buy, even though its a must for me before I purchase. I don't want to have to send something back that sucks, who does? It's only fair to help others as they had helped me.
To start out, this was very simple to install. I was a little worried at first because on the package it came in, they state which brands it will work for. ( Bosch, Dewalt, etc.). I have a craftsman, and craftsman was not on the list. But, it did fit fine.
You get this nice little zip up case that it comes in, along with 3 different threaded bolts. The bolts are there just in case your original bolt on your miter ends up being too short after you install the laser. I got lucky, and the bolt from my craftsman was long enough. Now that the laser is in the miter saw, the case really has no purpose?
As far as performance goes... Ive used it for the first day now; I cut several pieces of wood and its perfect. I'm not sure about other miter's, but mine is mounted on the left of the blade, so when I align the laser perfectly on the cut line, the blade cuts just to the right. Its great... Id rather it do that than cut RIGHT on the line. Some people don't care about compensating for the width of the blade, but a lot do and its worth it.
***NEGATIVE THOUGHTS:
I'm not sure if its my saw (which Im sure it is) but as the laser turns on when I start the saw, and I bring the saw down to cut, the laser moves about a mm to the left as I come down. So, I really have to start the saw, bring the blade down almost all of the way, then line up my cut. I'm not sure if anyone else had this problem. Other than that, no other complaints.
Overall, its worth the $20. It saves me the trouble of having to bring the blade down to the wood, and having to always cut my piece just a hair bigger to play it safe. Now, I just line up the line with the laser, and its on the money every time. Having to deal with bringing the blade down almost all of the way every time because of the slight misalignment of the laser isn't that big of a deal. I wish I could find a use for that zip up case it came with, its a decent little case that would be useful for something. I don't know what, but it is one of those things where one day you'll need it for something random. If your a perfectionist like me, you will definitely want this laser. Not only does it help make perfect cuts, it saves a little extra time too.
