Irwin Industrial Tools 3061001 Miter Saw Laser Guide

Customer Reviews & Comments
Some of the other reviews didnt mention that in the description of this product, that it does clearly state that it "fits MOST Miter Saws, Does Not Fit The Bosch, Ridgid & Pro-Tech Model Miter Saws". I have a Dewalt DW715 12" compound miter saw, and after READING the instructions, installed it in just a few minutes. I then marked a scrap piece of wood with a thin pencil line from a .5mm mechanical pencil, turned the saw on, lowered the blade slightly and the laser line appeared. The laser is thin and clean. Because it is mounted next to the blade and does not activate until the the blade is turning, you cannot see the laser until you begin to lower the blade slightly and the blade cover moves out of the way. I placed the laser dead on with the line on the wood and it cut dead against it to the left as advertised. It is not meant to cut dead on the line. Again, others posting reviews did not read the product description where it does clearly state "Projects A Clear Line Just To The LEFT Of The Cut". And just dead to the left of the cut it is. With this in mind, it isnt difficult for a good builder to compensate ever so slightly for a dead on cut. This is after all, a clever third party product to "retro-fit" your miter saw. For the money, it will save you time in making accurate cuts. Also, after installing, I did not notice any difference in blade cuts, balance, vibrations, or such. I have posted a few images to show you the laser guide installed on my Dewalt miter saw. Hopefully you will be able to see the laser light and how it installs. I hope this helps.
