i only gave this product 4 star because it can have a tendency to fall over in certain cuts if left unattended and its not as good as the older slide on version as it will only cut 3 and half inch wood, ,ideal for the small diy .have used this for six month and to be honest its great with a 5ah battery ,just wish it had that little bit more bigger blade,so come on ryobi get a grip and show the potential and power of your new battery range vs the old ones!

As a seasoned woodworker I have every tool under the sun and also have several Ryobi one Plus cordless tools. This adds to my collection using lithium batteries it is a great performer. i changed the blade to a finer cut one for cross cutting. The tool is easy to lft on and off a workmate. Very useful and precise. Love it.

I use a few Ryobi tools in a professional capacity. They have all been faultless. This chop saw on the other hand is pathetic - doesn't cut anything larger than a skirting board, stalls when you go quickly and last but not lest the safety handle on the blade guard has snapped. Effectively making it unsafe.

Its a powerful and accurate saw as long as your very careful to line up the degree marks that are not the easiest to see. The laser line is useful but again you have to make manual allowances for the thickness of the blade as the line needs to be at the side of the blade on the cut or your piece will be shorter than your measured. A finer tooth blade is better as the standard one is a bit coarse. Finally the biggest let down id the dust collection bag. Its less than useless. Most of the sawdust just flies out of the back of the saw totally missing the bag intake. A vacuum attached to the outlet might be a much better option unless you dont mind sawdust everywhere Note. Had a problem with the saw but CBS replaced it the next day and collected the failed one. Excellent service from this seller Highly recommendedRead full review
