Surprisingly good value
Rating: 5
I was buying it for a backup due to its extremely low cost and my Pryor good experience with Hitachi. I was pleasantly surprised and now use it as my primary trim miter saw.

Great Miter Saw
Rating: 5
Always loved Metabo products, so this miter saw I purchased did not disappoint!! The ergonomics and ease of use is second to none. Very little assembly was required and it was cutting in no time. Can’t wait to purchase more Metabo tools to add to my wood shop. Highly recommend this product!!! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Quality miter saw at a good price
Rating: 5
I have used the saw 7-8 times within the first month of taking it out of the box. So far I am completely satisfied. Sure, it could have a few more bells and whistles, but as I paid for no other bells or whistles, I have no complaint. Quality miter saw at a good price.

10" Mitre Review
Rating: 4
Mitre saw works very well for the tasks I have used on it. I have also used it for aluminum cutting and it did a great job. Of course I purchased a metal blade. A couple minor improvements would make it even better: The discharge plate for debris it a little to small. Debris can scatter around the work station instead of going into the dust catcher bag. Not a big deal is you are used to cleaning up after every job. Second the blade screw could have a better head for easier removal and installation. That is it. Overall this saw is an excellent value.

Great tool, instructions need improvement

The instructions were somewhat confusing, felt like I had to figure several things out on my own. Overall it's a very good tool, I'm very happy with it's performance for my DIY projects around the house

10" Compound Miter Saw C10FCG(S) | Metabo HPT
Rating: 4
Good for homeowners, I couldn't pass it up for the price. I will use it mostly for trim work but it will cut deck boards. Pretty powerful. I was using a hand miter saw and this is a dream compared to that. Miters are pretty close out of the box and I have made adjustments to get them closer. A wider range on the miters would have been nice as would a hex bolt in lieu of a hex socket to attach the blade. It's light weight is good for portability, I made a platform to clamp to sawhorses until I get a saw stand.

Not bad for the price
Rating: 4
Cuts straight at 0*, but when cutting 45* from both sides there is about 1/2* gap. When you cut a small piece at 0*, then rotate 90* and give another cut, there is that 1/2* error in being exactly a 90* angle. Tried two different speed squares and one combination square and none would show exactly 90*. Just need to have a Metabo tech tell or show me how to adjust the blade to be 45* & 90* exactly.

My First Miter Saw
Rating: 4
Overall a good saw. It has been able to do everything that ive asked out of it. The only issues that im currently having with it are that sometimes when i let go of the trigger, it takes a while for it to slow down. Other times it cuts off pretty fast. The only other issue that ive come across is that more saw dust ends up on the floor rather than in the bag. Not quite sure why, but not a big issue for the price.

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!

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.
by Berskader on 2020-05-15T17:00:00

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.
by Philsboy11 on 2020-06-21T17:00:00

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.
