There's a reason why these Miter Saws are so well respected! I am a DIY Hobby woodworker who logs in about 30-40hrs a month on projects and when it is time to work I can't slow down and this Saw always keeps up! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Accurate Saw
Rating: 5
I have used this saw for 4 years now and it works well every time. The cuts are straight and accurate and despite its size, it has plenty of power. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Perfect homeowner miter saw
Rating: 5
Bought this saw in April 2019 to work on a bedroom remodel. The saw provided all the basic needs for a homeowner and more. Since April i have found more uses for the saw, undertaking more routine maintenance of the exterior deck, building furniture, and more. I have used for cutting everything from 4 inch MDF baseboards to pressure treated 2x6 and 4x4 material. the saw is easily moved to a bench when needed and easily out of the way when not. Only giving an average rating for durability not having used the saw for more than a 100 or so cuts over 7 months. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Love my miter
Rating: 5
I got this one because it was on sale and I love it, but I should have gone with the 12in sliding bevel. My jobs have gotten bigger which is a good thing! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Metabo 12" Dual Bevel Miter Saw
Rating: 5
I selected this saw based on detailed reviews that commended it as accurate and well-made. I have used the saw several times and am pleased with the performance. It was pretty accurate out of the box and it was easy to dial it in the rest of the way. I'm very happy with the saw.

The best saw I could find!
Rating: 5
I looked at a lot of compound mitre saws, even different sizes. I read reviews and compared prices. For the money and the high ratings I saw I thought this to be the best saw for the money. As I'm reminded (By my wife) I'm rarely right, but this time I hit the it on the head! Out of the box dead accurate cuts. A lot of packaging, but that ends up protecting the saw in transit. Yes, I would tell any friend about this being the saw they want!

Haven't used it too much yet but setup and calibration were intuitive and easy as long as you pre-read the instructions. After seeing the blade I had concerns about the quality of the cut but several cuts through 3/4 inch plywood, oak and pine gave smooth, high-quality cuts. A very good value for the money. I can't fill out your questionnaire; it won't let me add info.

Highly recommend!
Rating: 5
Excellent saw for the diy'er! I would like a place to store the wrench for the blade like the hex wrench has. Would just be convenient because I'll likely lose it and have to walk the 6 steps over to my toolbox for another. My genius self forgot to flip the left fence back over before making an angled cut. Destroyed my fine blade and the fence. It was the last cut of the project. Nice work, dufus!

love the power,don't like where the start button is located and didn't come with side support pieces which when i tried to order wrer almost half the cost of the saw

Awesome saw!
Rating: 5
This was my first major tool purchase, and I have not been disappointed. I did a ton of research on miter saws and this one came out on top with the 12" size and dual bevel feature. Definitely recommend.

Good saw for the price.
Rating: 4
Good all around saw, have used it for quite a few projects so far and has worked well. Bought it cause it was priced right, and need a better saw than the small harbor freight one I had been using. The laser is pretty much useless though, cant see it in bright light and disappears when you bring the saw blade down. Wish the extensions came with it, they are ridiculously priced to buy separately.

check your bevel angles.
Rating: 4
So far so good. Only issue I have is the bevel degree markers are off. To be at zero degrees on both sides, it will not read at zero degrees. You basically have to have them both equally off to be exact. It's a minor thing, but pretty annoying.

Buy it
Rating: 4
Excellent saw and value. I would have given 5 stars except the laser and the dust collections is less than par. But over all you couldn’t find a better saw for the money.
