Thank you soooo much! Seeing you handling the machine on video has solved a problem that has bothered me for more than an hour now. Made my day! Greetings from Denmark!
Tips. Very important if you would like to saw with precision. (avoid torsion as much as possible)! Always choose a Miter saw with a handle positioned in a vertical line above the saw blade. Everything must be aligned, slide rails, handle, and saw blade,it is much better this way the blade will not tilt. Because there is some torsion in the aluminum housing . And choose an engine with softstart on it to prevent wear of the gear and worm shaft. It is very important that everything is aligned. Here are some examples to show how the handle must be positioned above the blade. Bosch gcm 800 sj / Bosch gcm 8 sjl / Evolution rage 3 / FESTOOL KS 60 / HITACHI C12RSH2 / FESTOOL KS 60 E KAPEX / Metabo KGSV 72 Xact (This also is the case with the Miter saw without the slide rails). If you want you can test it yourself at home if there is torsion in the aluminum housing. Step-1. First you make a saw cut from +-5 mm deep in to a flat piece of wood about +- 20 mm thick. To this with the normal handle positioned on the right side of the Miter saw. Step-2. Then repeat this by pushing the saw blade down with your hand (finger) on the aluminum protective cover were the saw blade is cased in. Just now only do this without the running engine. Step-3. Now you can see if the saw blade will be positioned in or next to the saw cut. If the saw blade is (+- 0,2 / 0,5 mm) next to the saw cut then there is torsion in the aluminum housing. Step-4. therefor it is much better to choose a Miter saw with the handle positioned vertical in line above the saw blade. Conclusion: how further away the handle is from the saw blade how more chance of torsion in the aluminum housing. .
Thanks! Most appreciated :). What you say makes perfect sense and I will take that into account when choosing and using a miter saw. I have discovered this saw must be handled with a low downward pressure to make straight cuts. And I can now see that what happens is that the blade plane will turn clockwise when pushed down at the handle. Again, thanks! I which you good luck with all your future miter saw projects!
*Remember that this saw needs to have adjustments made to make 0 or 90 cuts accurately **MyBest.Tools** I had to use a right angle on the deck and blade and then adjust the bolt to get the correct reading. Once this is done, it works great.*
Thanks for your feed back! And Yes, I have used for two years now and it gets the work done and with reasonable good precision. I mean, for the price I am very satisfied with it. Good luck with your own purchase :)
I bought one yesterday but the laser is out of alignment. Tried setting it but discovered the plastic bracket where the screw goes in is broken. I guess it was overtightend. Could this be the problem the laser is not aligned. Thank You
Thank you for your comment!" Sorry to hear about your problem with the laser on this saw. On the other hand - for this price I did not expect the laser to be accurate anyhow. I am planning to mount some white LEDs to have the saw blade cast a shadow cut-line instead. This shadow will always be accurate and will also serve as a work piece light :). Something like this guy did on his saw (ua-cam.com/video/MHM8K-JS-Wk/v-deo.html). Good luck with your saw!
Thanks for your kind feed back! It makes me glad if I could provide some small information that was of value to you :). Take care and I wish you all success in putting your mitre saw to good and meaningful use!
Thanks for asking :). As I understand it (although I have not tried myself) you can cut aluminium with any suitable wood cutting blade. So in that case, Yes, you should be able to cut aluminium with this saw. Regarding 90 and 45 degree cuts you have to put some effort in to adjust it. It does not come perfectly adjusted from the factory. But for the price I suppose I was not surprised about this. I actually filmed me adjusting this saw but I have not come around to edit and publish it yet :). Thansk again for reaching out and I hope you find the answers you are looking for to decide if this is a saw for you :)
Thanks for reaching out! No, I have not found any depth stop on this model. It seems the KGS 216 DO have a depth stop though. Good luck with your saw purchase!
@@kjell-olovhogdahl6557 Thank zou! I ended up buying the KGS so that I can cut dados. I had some interesting ideas though on how to achieve this on a non/sliding miter saw.
Thanks for asking. You pull it out to unlock the tilting mechanism. I hope that helps. Good luck with your own projects and potential buy of a new circular saw :)
Thanks for your concern :). Yupp, I was very new at this! Can happily report I still have all my fingers. I hope to keep them also when I start to get complacent :0. I suppose then it starts to get dangerous...
Thanks for reaching out! We have 50 Hertz here in Sweden so Yes, my model is 50 Hz. If it also works for 60 Hz I do not know. But I am sure they should have a 60 Hz compatible model :). Good luck finding a mitre saw for your needs!
Thanks for your feedback! Yes, I can understand the music I put there can be a bit annoying ;). I will be more careful when adding music to later videos of mine :)
Thanks for valuable feed back! Yes, that music did not work with this video. And I even made it myself so I can't blame anyone else :). I will refrain from putting this kind of music to my videos in the future. Thanks and take care!
thank you so much, without you I couldn’t do it

Cheers Kjell-Olov you did a good job describing what it does, and for $189 Australian $$$ looks like it's a good buy. Cheers

Thanks for this review, very helpful. I can get this for about 1100 sek instead of 2000 for the KGS. Seems fine enough.
You are welcome! Thanks for your feed back :). This saw makes the job done. I hope you find it good enough for your needs :)
Could find the transport lock but couldn't open it. Just had to pull harder! Thx!
You're welcome :). Good luck with your saw!

@@kjell-olovhogdahl6557 Thank You ill check it out and also look out if you post the conversion to your saw
ManyThanks the instruction manual was gone. couldn't unlock it

Vore grymt om du kunde göra en video om hur man Kalibrerar Lasern
virkelig fint med 2 videovinkler. Og jeg har nu bestilt en sav som din.
Tack för återkoppling :). Det är kapabel såg. Jag hoppas du skall bli nöjd med din!

Can you cut a dado into a piece of wood? Does it have a depth-stop?
Thanks for reaching out! No, I have not found any depth stop on this model. It seems the KGS 216 DO have a depth stop though. Good luck with your saw purchase!
@@kjell-olovhogdahl6557 Thank zou! I ended up buying the KGS so that I can cut dados. I had some interesting ideas though on how to achieve this on a non/sliding miter saw.
Sounds interesting! Anything yo want to share? I would be interested in being able to cut dados on a fix miter saw with no depth stop :)
What is the button at the back for?
Thanks for asking. You pull it out to unlock the tilting mechanism. I hope that helps. Good luck with your own projects and potential buy of a new circular saw :)
Let's hope he doesn't chop his fingers off, because he's very new at this.

You are welcome :)
IS THIS 50-60 Hrz?
Thanks for reaching out! We have 50 Hertz here in Sweden so Yes, my model is 50 Hz. If it also works for 60 Hz I do not know. But I am sure they should have a 60 Hz compatible model :). Good luck finding a mitre saw for your needs!
Sir i want spayr part armature and gear box
Sup with the music man? It ruined the vid
Thanks for your feedback! Yes, I can understand the music I put there can be a bit annoying ;). I will be more careful when adding music to later videos of mine :)
Yeah this music make me want to poop
That music sucks. I turned off the video after 11 seconds.
Thanks for valuable feed back! Yes, that music did not work with this video. And I even made it myself so I can't blame anyone else :). I will refrain from putting this kind of music to my videos in the future. Thanks and take care!
