BEST Cordless 7-1/4'' Dual Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw For The MONEY!

[@kevinklepp9526]

Wow that looks like a great saw like the dual bevel feature and it looks lite can’t wait till one shows up on the job to try I would love to have it but would like to try it but if not just make the move and grab one thanks for the great review

[@kevinklepp9526]

Thanks very much I know when I watch one of your test and review it’s going to be a very honest one

[@jamesbraddock893]

I have had this saw for two years and have used it for multiple laminate flooring jobs, multiple houses I have trimmed and this saw is literally bad ass man. I own Milwaukee m12 and m18 but damn you can not beat this one. It still is holding strong as the day I got it. I have made several thousands of cuts with a 4 amp battery 6 amp battery, pretty much whatever and it does the job. I am impressed with it beyond words. Pair it with a Diablo blade and let it do the rest. Without a doubt one of the best purchases I have made. It has made me a lot of money.

[@tomforward990]

So I need a new cordless miter saw. Good to hear this from a pro. I’ve been looking at the Milwaukee but the Kobalt looks good as well. I’m on the Makita and Dewalt platforms but the DW 7 1/4 is single bevel and underpowered.

[@YZ-LP22]

So do you use this for baseboards? If so Do you cut your miters with the board laying flat?

[@jonathanvazquez8755]

You should try changing the blade with the provided Allen wrench..... let me know how it goes.....

[@chadhoward3347]

Just picked one up yesterday. It runs waaaay smoother and powerful then my Milwaukee 2733-20 7-1/4” trim saw with the 6.0 HO. I’m only running the 4.0 on my Kobalt and it just so much more powerful.

[@masterkilla77]

Really wow... how is it a year later?

[@martylucas8557]

Somehow I seriously doubt that. The build quality on the Milwaukee is far superior to that of the Kobalt.

[@addicted2tools]

Marty Lucas dou have both to compare?

[@themacsho]

@@martylucas8557 it's better then the milwalkee but for heavy duty use maybe not the best

[@gebronthomasson6960]

Even on 2x’s?

[@dannymeil3294]

I just bought the kobalt 12” dual bevel sliding miter saw for 244.17 dollars. Regular price is 369.00 so I got the last one in the store. I was going to buy the single bevel 7.25” miter saw for 159.00 for an additional 85.00 bucks I got a dual bevel 12” slider. I hope I made the right decision 😊

[@jeffmalone5009]

Thanks for the review! I purchased this last week along with the 6.0 aH battery. Both are spectacular in performance! Can’t think of a single thing I don’t like about this saw. I even prefer the LED cutting guide vs laser guides I’ve used in the past. One thing not mentioned here is a light button on top so that you don’t need to engage the motor in order for the LED cutting guide to “mark” your cut. Along with the 6.0 aH battery, I’ve made almost 200 cuts (mostly 2x4 and 3/4” plywood) and the battery is still at 4 out of 4 bars. I really think Kobalt knocked it out of the park with this one!

[@charlesfisher6073]

I'll tell you what man you deserve every bit of your subscribers and you deserve so much more likes and views! You're definitely my favorite tool review guy I'm 24 and I watch a lot of tool reviews. I'm a full-time mobile welder and love kobalt 24v tools

[@dickflinghammer58]

I've been cutting crown nested on the backfence forever. I wouldn't need to lug the 12 inch Cobalt to cut crown anymore if I learn to cut flat already. This tool makes it an easy choice. I've even used the Hitatchi 15 inch mitre saw on double 9 inch crown stacked on a facia above the top cabinets to the cieling to avoid cutting flat.

[@jamesvfreetage6403]

Vince, the 30° stops are for cutting compound miters on crown molding without actually putting your crown molding on an angle on the saw.

[@joshmay6451]

My boss/buddy showed me what the 33.9 degrees is for. It's for cutting crown super easy. Set your bevel at 33.9 and leave it there. Now all you have to do to cut your crowns is change the angle on your deck from right 33.9 to left 33.9 and that's all you have to do to get your crown to come out right and super easy. What I did was just made up a bunch of reference cuts so I could look at them for reference if I get caught up

[@Kianrui]

Is it better to choose Kobalt, Ryobi or Craftsman mitre saw???

[@kenjohanning1163]

Lowe’s is now selling this saw with a free 6 ah battery ($99 value) for $269. Great deal I think.

[@adiii4107]

[@masterkilla77]

Thinking on this very seriously! Just need a deal on a charger

[@dortcharmy11]

Better deal than the milwaukee for 350 if you do the buy more save more i already have milwaukee batteries

We shouldn't be sleeping on kobalt they just keep getting better and better. #kobalttools

i want to 'not like' this saw because its not my brand but I can't help but like it

[@Samsonmetaphysical]

I just ordered one of these from my local Lowes store they didn't have it in stock I also purchased the new Kobalt 24-volt Max 3-Gallon Cordless Shop Vacuum. It has a 5 year warranty, dual bevel, and a brushless motor. Once I saw that it also had the led blade light I pulled out my wallet, SOLD!

[@VCGConstruction]

Nice Sam!!

[@timsigmond8984]

Just bought one , I've had almost every brand made, never thought much of kobolt, I am very impressed. Have a delta cruzer 12" nice big saw. Wanted something for smaller jobs , it's great.

[@grandpadre8811]

I decided to buy one of these instead of the comparable DeWalt. I like the adjustable saw stop for cutting dadoes and the pre-set plate saw stops for setting the dual bevel capability. I watched the video of you and Jimmy trying out his Dewalt 7 1/4". Thanks for both videos. They definitely helped me make an informed decision. This new miter saw is a great compliment to my DWS 779.

[@diycad]

I’m planning to do the same. Do you think Dewalt is better in any way comparing to this saw?

[@rlmares]

Hey Vince what you think about ridgid miters and table saws?

[@97mrking]

There having a Black Friday deal at Lowe’s. Saw a preview. There giving one of these away for free with the purchase of a 6 tool 24v brushless combo kit.

[@stevekopcial129]

Ridgid has the same unit lifetime warranty includes 5ah battery with laser guide $399. Battery also has lifetime warranty

[@josephhluz11]

I was taught how to cut crown flat. Cutting it upside down and against the fence and base seems like a much more time consuming and complicated procedure all while losing the capacity of crown you can cut.

[@skiptowne5724]

I always cut it flat. Way faster. You The material sitting on the saw is sitting the way it is going in the room. No confusion.

[@jonathonnantz3504]

The review I've been waiting for. Thanks Vince!

You got it Jonathon!

[@BigHomie030]

[@WEALRO]

I must have missed it what is the largest 45 degree you can cut flat and standing , also what is the largest board you can cut at 0 flat.

[@dustinpomeroy8817]

this one looks nicer than the corded model I looked at when I was looking at 7 1/4s to buy.I ended up with a Ryobi for a couple of things I liked a little better.Is this better than the corded?or am I imagining things?it's hard to tell without getting my hands on one.

Can you compare it to the dewalt and Milwaukee?

[@projectbumblejeep4190]

Hey Vince! How you doin? Just curious, some of you professional guys seem like you really struggle to "like" Kobalt cordless tools. Would you try to use Kobalt cordless as everyday tools on the job site? Or do you consider them as home use/DIY tools only? Have a great day and God bless.

[@dibroc8348]

I have the corded version of this saw and I love it. I have been looking at this cordless for a while. I am looking forward to seeing you make some saw dust with it soon. Big thumbs up to the switch as I am a lefty in a righty's world.

[@roywurgley7963]

[@austinstahl6428]

[@robertwagner757]

I live in Michigan, sometimes it gets very cold, my shop is heated but only when I am working out there, when I shut down there is no heat. I know not to leave batteries in sub zero temps, but how well does the machine operate and hold up in cold temps?

[@ivtec845]

Will it cut 3 1/4 base standing up from both sides?

Picked one of these up for $100 at my local Lowes store on the cyber monday sales they had

[@bwj999]

He buddy great videos. How do you like this Kobalt cordless compared to the Kobalt corded (also in the dual bevel). It looks like the only price difference right now is the battery (which I do not have and runs 100). And this one is obviously lighter, which is a big plus for me as I have to do a lot of hauling of tools in property maintenance.

[@rodw]

Will the same stand work for 10 in and 7 1/4?

[@Brandon-yp2wy]

Looks nice! Much better quality than I would have thought!

[@VCGConstruction]

It is very impressive!

[@ryanmacewen511]

I really wish there was a saw, just like the Cordless 18V 7 1/4 Ryobi Miter saw that had the same motor as the Milwaukee 7 1/4 handheld circular saw. The Ryobi I have isn't brushless and frequently stalls in cuts, requiring you to remove the friggin battery to restart the saw. Just a simple small lightweight chop/miter saw, excatly like the Ryobi but with some actual grunt. I own the Milwaukee 10" sliding saw, but it's not needed for most jobs. I love the small and compact size of the Ryobi. It's very handy, but lacks power. Maybe I just need to build it myself. lol. A saw without extra weight, just for small fast accurate jobs.

[@VCGConstruction]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences Ryan! We appreciate the feedback on the tools , what you use personally, and what you would like too see happen. Thank you for the support as well!

[@markgross3256]

I have its's corded brother and have never had a problem with it. I read a ton of reviews on it and everyone said the angles were always crooked and out of square, but I have owned it for 10 years or so and cut thousands of angles with it and "DN" everytime. How are the angle cuts on this one? If I buy a cordless saw it will be Dewalt because that is what I run and don't want to carry other batteries with me.

[@VCGConstruction]

I’ll let you know how it cuts angles in a follow up!!

[@markgross3256]

@@VCGConstruction awesome thanks Cool Guy. Lol

[@sulibuk]

If you don't cat care what the cut is like grab one yo yo. Dont plan on doing finish work with it though. If you doubt it grab the arbor gently and see if it doesn't shift to the left and right. Dont plan on fine work with this saw.

[@jagman2962]

Not a bad looking saw for the money. I have the dewalt 12” single bevel miter. Corded. Been a great saw with no issues. Double bevel is nice to have but I just flip my boards around when needed 😀. Great review.

That DeWALT is a great saw!

[@jasonswoger410]

You can't give away the secret crown stops LOL also I wouldn't mind seeing a TTR to see if I think can actually handle cutting through a 2 by 10 or if it would bog down so much and burn out the motor pretty quickly

Yo!! I'd really love to see you guys run the Kobalt against the Milwaukee. I was not too interested in spending 500 on a 7 inch saw, but i couldn't find the Kobalt with the cord anywhere. I donprefer corded saws mostly but I would have bought the kobalt had the cordless been dual bevel. I think it was foolish KFC ko alto to make the cordless a single bevel tool. Im so happy with the Milwaukee but a big part of me would have been just as happy with the kobalt and an extra 2fiddy in my pocket. So let's get them on the table and compare them dudes!!!
