[@macmuniz7357]

[@HomestyleWoodCrafts]

So glad it was helpful!

[@phaedrus6198]

Thank you for this video! I have had the same saw for many years and have put up with a slight misalignment forever. This past week I was making a toddler bed and got frustrated enough to go looking for videos on adjusting it. Your video is concise and my saw and granddaughter are happy (-:

[@HomestyleWoodCrafts]

I am so glad it was helpful! Can't think of anything better than making your granddaughter happy!

[@monkeyking-self-proclaimed7050]

Same here. I was looking into buying a new saw. It was like this when I first had it.

[@controlshift975]

Great video! It’s so frustrating to have a tool that doesn’t work properly. I’m so glad that no 🐊 were injured in the making of this video.

[@HomestyleWoodCrafts]

haha! Thank you, I am hoping that these videos can even do a little something good ;-). Thanks for watching!

[@williamfotiou7577]

Great video, thanks. Just went outside and adjusted my brand new Ryobi sliding compound mitre saw. Now I feel better! 😂

[@HomestyleWoodCrafts]

Great to hear it was useful. Happy woodworking!

[@KBDesign4]

Thank you for the instruction tips! Very thorough and clear. Time to go fix my Ryobi for tight 45s.

[@HomestyleWoodCrafts]

I am glad it was helpful. Good luck!

[@MichiganHiker]

thanks for taking the time to do this it was very well done. and I'm glad I'm not the only one who has problems with reptiles on my saw

[@HomestyleWoodCrafts]

:-) Thanks for the very nice compliment.

[@gamergrafix]

I’ve had the same ryobi miter saw for 15 years , almost identical to this, and never adjusted it. I noticed lately that it seemed off both vertical and at 45s . I used your video to square it up because I have the exact same positive stops and it worked perfectly. Wanted to stop and say thank you for such a well detailed video! It saved me a massive headache

[@HomestyleWoodCrafts]

I am glad it was helpful!

[@dannyhager9767]

[@HomestyleWoodCrafts]

Thank you, yes he is doing well. haha

[@RangerX3X]

Thank you so much for this video. I just set up a WEN saw today and the instructions for checking things were hot garbage. This video has taken a boatload of stress out of the process.

[@HomestyleWoodCrafts]

I am glad it was helpful!

[@travisbaker782]

Thanks for this! Bought a new saw last week and the cuts were curving weird at the front of the cut. I’ll have to check all this tonight.

[@HomestyleWoodCrafts]

Good luck!

[@bijan4727]

Hello. I watch your video many times and I have learned a lot I have a question for you. I have a Dewalt 713 miter saw (10 inch ). I got it brand new. I square the blade to the fence and I also make sure the blade is perpendicular to the surface of the saw. I have also joined and planed my piece and it is square on all four sides. I put my piece against the fence of miter saw and I do my cut. Two sides of the cut are as square as it comes but the other two sides are totally out of square. Do you have any suggestions? I appreciate your input.

[@HomestyleWoodCrafts]

Hard to say without seeing the process in action. If it were me, I would reexamine my steps from end to beginning to ensure I was doing everything correctly. I had a similar issue with my table saw once. I was sure everything was square, but reexamined my set up and found a small problem. Good luck!

[@summerfawcett9497]

Thank you for this info! Is there a way to tell if my blade is bent? Or what are some indications that it's time for a new one? Thanks in advance!

[@HomestyleWoodCrafts]

Watch as the blade the slows down after making a cut. If it wobbles, it may be bent. Also, if you take the blade off and lay it on a flat surface and it doesn't lay flat, then that's an indication it's bent. I wouldn't use it if it's bent. Other indications to get a new blade would be if it's missing teeth or if the cuts aren't as clean and smooth as they used to be. Some blades can be resharpened, but I have done this so I wouldn't know were to go.

[@LockBits-ts6eo]

Thanks.

[@HomestyleWoodCrafts]

You're welcome

[@evatuckjr9091]

I was really surprised how much cutting power (and torque) this saw had out of the box. I've used other (10" saws) previously and was pretty surprised with the speed and cutting ability of this Dewalt saw.I have bolted mine to a table to minimize movement which I highly recommend.This is a Great saw kzbin.infoUgkxPeGkHOMe05FySypTOvYumxMn-xi39oRe with a light to see your cutting line (not a laser line).I'd recommend this saw fro anyone looking to upgrade from a 10" miter saw.

[@HomestyleWoodCrafts]

Yes, miter saws are great DIY tools.

[@justingauvin6193]

How do u like that wen band saw in tye back ground?

[@HomestyleWoodCrafts]

Overall I like it. The last blade I put on what a little finicky, but that could be operator error.

[@houndsmanone4563]

My Dewalt 12" miter saw does not cut completely to the back of the fence. The saw always leaves a tiny piece of wood that does not get contact from the cutting blade. How do I correct this? 👍🏽🤠 06/28/24

[@HomestyleWoodCrafts]

Is there a way to move the fence forward a little?

[@rubytemple3414]

Hi there, What is the tool called I need to check? Many thanks :)

[@HomestyleWoodCrafts]

Compound miter saw.

[@monkeyking-self-proclaimed7050]

Ahhhhhh ... I need to do this. I've been getting crappy cuts. I thought it's because I got a cheap saw.

[@HomestyleWoodCrafts]

Going through this process could definitely help with accuracy. Good luck!

[@italianterror3329]

Kinda sucks you need 3 different squares to adjust the saw. Now I gotta figure out where that old framing square I've had forever is😅😅😅

[@HomestyleWoodCrafts]

😄👍

[@Moonless6491]

my saw is off on angle and the fence is bowed. Harbor freight.....

[@HomestyleWoodCrafts]

That stinks!

[@miccijrful]

And this is why I will never get my saw squared up…. lol. Just need to buy more caulk for the miter cuts! 😂

[@HomestyleWoodCrafts]

haha!

[@SeamlessFab]

What is this “Buy a thanks” nonsense with different “tip” options 😂🤣 Make me a fkn Sandwich and I’ll leave you a Tip

[@HomestyleWoodCrafts]

🥪 Thanks for the tip! 😄

[@josephfoust5381]

I have a compound miter saw and when I cut it cut at a slight angel on the back side and I have tried to square it up with no success what am I doing wrong

[@HomestyleWoodCrafts]

Hard to say without actually seeing the saw in person. Do you have an experienced wood worker friend that could help out?
