Ridgid Miter Saws

MS1290LZ - Purchased in 2004
Rating:


Strengths: I like the large 1 pc round table, nice & flat and moves miter to miter very easily. Adjustment is fairly easy. Has plenty of power and cuts nicely with good movement. You can also purchase a very useful Utility cart that works pretty good. 1 person can load by simply the wheel end to t-gate then lift the handle end up and roll in the bed of your truck.

Weaknesses: It shares a common problem with many saws on the market which is a not so flat fence however this one can be worked flat. The movable extension on the fence may not stay square when it is tightened up.

What You Wanted to Know Before You Bought It: The saw blade that came with it, was not even good enough to cut a 2x4 flat & square. It wobbled the instant it touched wood.

What Would You Tell the Maker of This Tool: At least put a decent 80 tooth blade on it and make sure the fences are flat and square. Adding a better more rigid 0 clearance throat plate would also be a nice seller
