Metabo 12 inch sliding compound miter saw unboxing and full review

[@matiaskuusela8100]

*I was able to use the stop to cut my pieces all the same **MyBest.Tools** Only let the blade come to a complete stop before lifting it back up otherwise it might 'catch' the work and inadvertently move the stop. Used a second clamp for holding.*

[@angelaroman6037]

Just bought this today at Lowe’s as a hidden clearance for 185!!

[@jodutton1460]

Wish you would have shown the cut you made on the guard

[@fengetaset9488]

I appreciate the video. But, two words: lavalier mic I had to keep turning the volume up and down. When you edit videos, make sure to do the volume levels in post production.

[@frankcadena9293]

That blade guard had me baffled. Thanks for the video! I get really sleepy reading manuals. HA! Happy new year!

[@jdoginc]

Did I miss where he actually explains it

[@ravenouspali]

i sure do like them saws, no jolts and smooth chops. but my lasers stopped working after a month on one and within a month on another. i find they also like to flick some of the tiny cuts. but better then dewalts lol

[@nicholasdomville4635]

It's a great price at $299. I bought the last one in my Lowes today and the manager said he was going to take the sale price off the shelf. It's $519 on the website. My trusty DeWalt has become my jobsite saw whilst this beast can stay in the shop. Thanks for the review - always good to see someone else pleased with their purchase.

[@RescuedWoodCo]

such a great price!! Glad you liked the review!

[@paedahe4975]

@@RescuedWoodCo I got this saw at Lowe’s for $120. Had to speak with the manager but he obviously was on my side. It was missing the side table attachments and can’t seem to find them anywhere on the internet.

My local Lowes has this one on sale for $164.50, new in box!

[@levijessegonzalez3629]

@@PropDad holy shit where are you guys getting these deals

[@WhatStream]

Literally just picked this up for 165. Heck of a deal from lowes, wasn't able to buy it online and there was only 1 in stock near me so took an early lunch and snagged it. Almost tempted to run to the next nearest store to pick up a second one to resell..

[@gspatwaal]

I also scored that deal

[@derek_d]

Me too! Was literally about to go and buy the $400 DeWalt that same day. Glad I saw this - IMO it's a better saw than the 779 now that they've redesigned it with the front rail.

[@geraldkazmierczak9805]

I just bought this saw today as well! Same price, same store! Could not pass that up!!

[@RescuedWoodCo]

It is a fantastic saw!!! I am so happy with it! Not one complaint.

[@jondrew55]

I see Hitachi is now metabo. I have an old Hitachi 12 RSH. I like the saw a lot. It has the old slide mechanism that needs to be set further away from the wall. So this is an improvement on that. I don'r remember how much I paid back then, but I think its more than what you got your's for. It came with a crappy blade (although I'm just getting around to replacing it with a Diablo). Also, the laser line thing died almost instantly. There's a few videos out there showing how the wire from the laser to the power supply gets crimped and broken. I just never bothered fixing it. But like I said, solid saw. Good luck with it

[@hsoloman]

Hitachi tools are still branded as Hitachi in other countries.

[@ksimm1986]

got mine today. Can't wait to try it out.

[@RescuedWoodCo]

Awesome! I am sure you will love it!

[@jpramos5959]

Better instructions. Thanks

[@sixdaslayer4426]

Just bought it this week on clearance for $269! Counts pass up on that deal. Great review!

[@seanalan3252]

That blade guard had me so worried. Thanks !

[@judithrob1591]

Very important if you would like to saw with precision. 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. 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 blad 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 blad.

[@TheBenjammin]

great idea putting loud music over your voice.

[@mtbikerdan]

Thanks for taking the time to post this review. I am trying to determine if this saw will fit in my current miter saw station. Would you mind telling me the depth of the bench that you set it on so I can get a frame of reference?

[@grantparnes]

One of the bearings just fell out of top sliding part. I would guess I have used the saw maybe 12 minutes of total run time. When that happened the head unit tilted and the blade cut into the metal where that little plastic piece goes that you have to cut the groove in. My 23 year old dewalt on the other hand still works like the day I bought it.

[@peterzhangww]

I have the same saw, it becomes harder to slide after several months of use. Does yours have the issue?

[@666lordofabyss666]

gotta keep it lubbed

[@DIYJIM]

I have the same saw but my saw does not slide smooth. I have had problems with it since I bought it should have taken it back.

[@FennahMakes]

Love your videos👍🏻😋

[@RescuedWoodCo]

I really appreciate that!!!!

[@davidw9828]

Great video. would be even better in my opinion without the background music! But that's just my opinion.

[@jameselkins9215]

NAME OF THE MUSIC

[@footnotedrummer]

Agreed. There were parts where I couldn't hear his voice iver the music. Needs to be re-edited.

[@dmastax1x]

Does anyone know how to tune/adjust the miter angle? Mine is noticably off at 0deg, so none of my cuts are square. The manual only shows how to fine tune the bevel angle, but not the miter angle...

[@deborahbrown555]

I just got this saw and the plastic guard that you’re supposed to cut was broke off😢

[@jimfeaster4837]

Do you have trouble Saw when slide

[@brend7061]

Did you say $299.00 If so that's €250. Here in Ireland. I just paid €1150.00 That's about $1300.00 In the USA. Holly molly. You guys have in good. $

[@RescuedWoodCo]

Yes $300 USD. How $1150 wow!?

[@brend7061]

It's crazy right. It's just the cost of living here it's just so expensive. This is what happens when you live in the fourth richest country in the world. You get ripped off. If you get a chance just Google commodities here in Ireland. Just for a laugh. ✌️

[@kchilz32]

You probably got the German made one, which is much better

[@operationhotshotinc.6887]

Is this the one they’re selling at Costco?

[@shaunherring8609]

Why does the blade guard slide forward?

[@cuongnguyen7688]

Great review, thanks for sharing. Did you have to do anything to bevel cut (at 1:46)? Mine came with the clamp level in the back super stuck. I tried loosing it but it didn't budge. Thanks.

[@MrJackiepooh]

There is a pin you have to pull to go to the right also

[@mrb4408]

Great vid buddy, I’m after a new saw and this looks like it’ll suit my needs perfect. Just a quick observation, I think your workbench is too high for the saw, maybe cut out a designated lower area to make it easier for you.

[@RescuedWoodCo]

Thank you! It is a great saw. This bench is actually just my sanding bench, I am building out a full miter station soon!

[@mrb4408]

Rescued Wood Co ok, then I’m sorry. Hope to see that build soon👍🏼

[@RescuedWoodCo]

Mr B no need to apologize!!! 👌 it’s all good

[@jimbuford4147]

Help someone. I have the same saw and just trying to use today for first time. My first miter saw. My blade strikes the insert when pulled down. Have not turned it one yet. How can I adjust that problem, anyone. Thanks

[@joshuasumner8914]

What is the vertical cut length

[@henrybusby4708]

Bought at lowes for 188 on clearance

[@d60335]

Wow, that looks really compact(0:52), what is your depth on that bench? I don't want to have to build a 3ft deep table for a miter saw. Nice and simple review. Thanks

[@RescuedWoodCo]

Agree, the depth is less than 2 ft I’d have to go take a measurement. Send me a DM or email and I’ll get the exact depth for you

[@mrcryptonoob1901]

Ok seems we were all at Lowe’s at the same time! Do you happen to be from NC? The guy said someone had just bought the last one before I got there 😩 Edit: never mind I see the Sacramento location

[@RescuedWoodCo]

Adam at Work I’m in California but I feel your pain! I had to drive a little rather than normal, my local store was also sold out. It’s a great saw! Just place an online order and they’ll let you know when it’s ready to pick up 👌

[@3016Steve]

Was it on sale because I paid $399.00 and regular price was $569.00

[@footnotedrummer]

I just got this saw for $329. They shipped a damaged one and I needed to return it. I contacted Lowes to report the issue, and they gave me another 10% off for my inconcienience. Can't beat it for what I ended up paying (under $300).

[@donayre21]

What is the point of cutting that small plastic piece?

donayre21 it’s a zero clearance reference. Allows you to see exactly where the blade will hit!
