Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

As a beginner and miter saw newb, this is all I could ask for. It's not fancy or decked out, but I wouldn't know what to do with one that is, so I give it 5 stars. The laser is dead on and can be turned on or off - fantastic newb option. Also, I wonder how many negative reviews these saws have about burned out motors bc people don't use the proper extension cords for a 15 amp saw. You cannot use these with a standard cord you use for your Christmas lights. The longer the cord the more power in line loss you have. The smaller gauge the less power is transmitted which results in a stressed out motor not being supplied enough power to do the job it was created to do. Buy a 12/3 or 10/3 outdoor cord for this saw and you won't burn your motor up under a load. The shorter the extension cord, the better for your saw and less line loss is created. See my picture of recommended gauge for amperage levels by Milwaukee Tools.
