Excellent review. No fluff and straight to the point. I appreciate your real-world application demonstrating various materials. Well done!

[@qiksoft]

I had reservations about clicking the buy button until seeing your review. Not going to build a house by any means, but to do some remodeling this baby seems like perfect addition to my arsenal. Thanks for taking time to review.

[@edmcbride9079]

Just opened the box today and ripped some vinyl fence parts.....really satisfied with the saw..with that being said the assembly and use instructions are really BAD...I live in NJ..never met and don't know Real Tool Review Guy...but Rockwell..you should be sending him a check or offering him a job..I you tubed the saw and he really made a great demo and clarification of the tool use...without him I'd be wasting a ton of time figuring it out... and getting disgusted wasting time..I also own a Rockwell 4 1/2 inch circular saw and it's absolutely one of my most used and favorite tools..if customers don't feel comfortable with the products capabilities they won't buy more Rockwell products! Awesome real job tool review guy!

[@RealToolReviews]

+ed McBride Thanks Ed! Glad to help! :)

[@rockwelltools]

+ed McBride Thanks for the feedback Ed!

[@josephmelcher1312]

How close can you get with the rip fence, I need to cut a piece of trim outside edge molding down to a 1/4 inch on one side.

[@cindymichaud7286]

Yes, Rockwell needs to sponsor you, best instructions ever and this is my second blade runner, instructions that come with it are pretty much useless...thanks for your clear and easy to follow demonstration. Well done

[@craigpruscha5064]

I so needed this video as I have the "man skills" of a 9 year old girl. I also remained terrified watching his hand so close to the blade without gloves. That said, I feel ready to tackle a DIY project. Thank you!

[@Christopher_Gibbons]

Glad you feel more confident, but please don't wear gloves when using these kind of power tools. They can get caught and drag your hand in turning a minor injury into a trip to the emergency room. If you are uncomfortable having your fingers close to the blade you can make or buy a push stick.

[@kevinmccarthy125]

I had to watch the video to figure out exactly how to get the saw blade locked in. Thanks again. I'm a derp.

[@robertsprojects7698]

I just got one of these Blade Runner X2 last week and I must say that I absolutely love this saw, its so many different tools put into one convenient portable saw that you can just pick and go!

[@RealToolReviews]

Roberts Projects Awesome! I am glad to hear that you like it!

[@rockwelltools]

+Roberts Projects Thanks for the feedback !!!

[@InterWebGuy99]

Just bought this myself off Amazon and wanted to see a demo. Yours was exactly what I needed. Very confident this little table saw will do everything I need and I'll have no problem using it once it arrives. Thanks for putting this up!

[@VvvnimaL]

is it still good?

[@carolludington3783]

Great video, I would never have figured out from the instruction book alone. Very poorly done. What I lack now is the don't do's. Thank you for your efforts.

[@sailawaybob]

January 2023 i was at Lowes today looking to spend a gift card and saw this now i go to Lowes often but first time i've seen it . I always look at feedback and now youtube to see what others think and it seems pretty cool and 15# that's light , i've got a Craftsman table saw in my shed but this would be nice to have out in the garage ,

[@donnamaher8132]

Thank you for an excellent demonstration video that clearly and precisely shows how to use this very versatile saw. I was surprised that something so affordable could do so much! Much appreciated!!

[@RealToolReviews]

Glad to help!

[@msadventure2003]

Making a porch swing, and my jigsaws are old as dirt, so I went out and bought this Bladerunner X 2, at first I was frustrated, no written directions only pictures.. then I hooked it up and started running it and I was immediately ready to take it back because the wood kept jumping and vibrating really bad.. But then a light bulb came on and I noticed the front part of the arm was not down flat, it was resting on the wood in a angle..... once I put it down flat it was wonderful!!. I LOVE IT!!! I bought the last one Lowes had in stock so apparently there are others who liked this to.. As for this Bladerunner X 2 I give it a A+ (as for the directions, they are severely lacking ), I hope others will find your video as well, so they can enjoy their saw the right way! Thanks so much for taking the time to make this video! Great Job!

[@RealToolReviews]

Peggy Grant Thanks Peggy! I am glad I could help :) I hope your porch swing turns out nice!

[@freakinlyrical9086]

i think you are the only video on here... that shows the scroll sawing capabilities to that degree.... i am new at this, am waiting for mine to come in the mail... and now, i as an beginner, am happy i made this purchase.... thanks a ton...

[@erickline6736]

Excellent video, I've been contemplating the purchase of mini table saw, mini cut off saw, or scroll saw, I saw the Rockwell Bladerunner online, yours is the first video I looked at and: 1. You answered all the questions, and potential questions. 2. You showed everything it comes with, explained each feature, and gave working demonstrations of the capabilities of the unit including arm removal which potentially makes it more flexible than a standard scroll saw. In conclusion, for the hobby work I'm looking to do, this saw should meet and exceed my requirements. Thank you for a no nonsense, thorough review, and demonstration of the Rockwell Bladerunner.

[@mikel.1395]

I think what impressed me the most is that it didn't move around while you were cutting. It looks so light weight that I thought for sure the unit would start to skate once you began cutting. Great review and demonstration.

[@RealToolReviews]

Mike L. Yeah it doesnt "walk around" on you while cutting, but I would suggest bolting the base or even using long screws to attach it to a surface for the absolute minimum vibrations & best cut.

[@kevrobinson2000]

Great video - I just subscribed! Thank you so much for SHOWING us how to use the Bladerunner instead of me trying to figure it out on my own! Are you saying I should permanently attach the Bladerunner to a piece of plywood (or something else?) for extra stability?

[@Kkuts37]

Hmmm...My saw "walked around" so much the yellow power safety switch shook out. IMO, the "fence" is a joke. That being said, I bolted down and the "walking" it is better. I would not recommend this upside down mounted jigsaw. :(

[@punkblowfish6917]

Just the information I needed. I got one for Christmas. Excellent video.

[@jefferyrowland2921]

Just received mine today and if I had not stumbled upon your awesome video I would be "clueless" as to features and functionality of the X2. The instructions (pictures) were every bit as horrible as the product is fantastic. Thank you so much for the informational video.... You did an excellent job... I'm subscribing right now. Merry Christmas.

[@AngieGMarrone]

Perfect video. You did all the cuts I had questions about. Definitely buying this tool for myself as an xmas gift. 👍🏽

[@Whey2010]

Very Promising....I like how you demo the product...convincing...

[@RealToolReviews]

Rely Flores Nice.....glad I could help!

[@cwmoser]

Saw this advertised on TV and decided to check out a KZbin review - yours. I have a Rockwell Unisaw but I can definitely see that this would be a useful tool. Hope Santa brings me one else I'll purchase one for myself.

[@TrevorBatstone]

I was searching for a small, hobby table top saw to make SQUARE cuts in 1/4" plywood for craft items that I have started making. I live in Canada, so went to my local Canadian Tire store today to see what they had for a small size table saw. I saw this Rockwell BladeRunner X2, bought it, but haven't opened the box yet (will do tomorrow). Then I saw this video and the review that you did on this product, and it just blew me away... never imagined that it was this versatile. Can't wait to give it my first workout tomorrow morning. Thank you for the awesome video.

[@RealToolReviews]

Trevor Batstone Nice! Glad I could help! And the best suggestion I can give you is go slow, take your time, and use high quality blades.....definitely a useful saw for the money.

[@robjanusch2874]

A GREAT tool for the part-time woodworker!! I LOVE MINE!!!

[@phunkdoctah218]

This was super helpful. My local Walmart is selling the “Worx Bladerunner X2” 🙄😂 on clearance for $68. I was in the market for a jig saw, table saw and tile saw as well, but after watching this video I’m going to skip the jig and buy this and a miter saw. Thanks again for an awesome review.

[@erwinerwin1245]

This is what I call the a great demo on this product. I am now going to buy one as it sure looks handy, and safe to use.

[@zaraking8875]

Unpacked and set up with-in 5 minutes, Watching u-tube prior made it simple, the pictures in the set up book are useless but don't really need. Cut through my 1 st. piece with no problem, saves going to the big table saw for the smaller stuff.

[@Aztecs911]

Nice review. My little 10" table saw took a dump. I think this can do what I use to do with my basic table saw and now more stuff. Thanks for the nice review.

[@miyaantoez919]

Thank you im a first time wood worker and first purchaser. I appreciate all the info since instruction that came with it weren't very helpful. Think i can do this now ☺

[@lonesomedoveemporium6729]

Thanks so much for the video! Glad I watched it before I began working with it :) You cleared up a lot of questions I had. The directions/pictures that came with the Rockwell BladRunnerX2 left a lot to be desired :( After watching your video, I felt confident & went & made my first cut! Look out this grandma is having fun with all these new power tools!

How did you like the previous model? According to others, it was better. I have the new model for a year and it broke down. Didn't use it much either. Contacted Rockwell and they said they will replace it. Still waiting for the replacement.

[@chrisfuoco5474]

Great video! thanks for the demo. Perfect saw for small jobs I want to do around my house.

[@VictorRodriguezR2CAPITAL]

VERY CLEAR. BUYING TOMORROW

[@ramivalencia]

I just bought one and I'm trying to cut a 16"x48" piece of 1/8" thich plexiglass. So far, the cut starts just fine, but then it curves inwards. It's a bit hard keeping the piece of flexing plastic straight, but the cut looks clean. I'll have to practice a bit more and I'm sure I'll get a perfectly straight cut. One negative aspect is the noise. It's a loud saw, but it's acceptable for the price.

[@ramivalencia]

I was able to fix the curved cut trace issue. I noticed that the head support that keeps the item to be cut from vibrating was pressing into the blade. So, the blade was leaning towards the right side. I pushed and straightened out the issue by very slightly bending the thin aluminum arm. Now the blade stands straight and untouched. I just finished cutting 4 pieces of plexiglass with 1.125"x48" dimensions and the cuts were very straight and smooth. Instead of using the 16"x48" piece to cut into 1.125"x48" rectangles, I cut the original piece into two 8"x48" sections and that made things easier. So, now I'm very happy with my purchase. This little saw does exactly what I needed it to do. I'm using one of the "fine wood" blades that come with the saw. It does a good job, but I plan to try the others to see if they provide even better results.

[@amananaher]

Thanks for all info

[@tonyrogers8911]

Thank you Sir. Good help.

[@grimmdanny]

7 years later and I am here trying to figure out how to use this properly. This YT video does that and more. All 1-star Amazon reviews show poor performance and cuts, but I think they simply didn't use this tool properly as you did. Thanks.

[@ginopunsalan]

The upside down jigsaw setup is scary. I will be using my jigsaw for large boards. For everything else the Bladerunner X2 looks very good.

[@RealToolReviews]

Gino Punsalan Well, the wood we were cutting kept hitting the rear arm....so while it is not recommended (I am sure), it will work in a pinch.

[@anthonyanthaudainea3499]

Thanks to you, I learned how to change the blade, you are awesome

[@deanslegos1990]

This caught my eye on the shelf. Looked at it and saw it uses jigsaw blades. My caveman brain became apprehensive immediately and i moved on lol. Seems like a great tool now that i look at it.

[@N2LADIES55]

Great review and I'm buying one based on your review for small projects around the house.

[@RealToolReviews]

N2LADIES55 Awesome! I am glad I could help :) Thanks for watching!

[@Saynt614]

Picked up one of these as I'm about to do a DIY laminate flooring job in our house. Picked up some Laminate T-Shank blades as well. Wish me luck... never done anything like this before and would rather learn myself instead of dropping $3,800 that I was quoted to let someone else do it. So far I'm under $500 for the entire job myself.

[@ronaldramsey7774]

Great video...convinced me to buy one..

[@FuriousFilipino]

Really like your reviews, but I had terrible results with my Bladerunner X2 when using the fence. I don't know how you were able to keep the blade from walking left or right of center, but unless I free-hand all of my cuts, using the fence only caused binding; mine had terrible "blade drift" no matter how I aligned the fence. Funny thing is, my cheap Ryobi bandsaw, same price, will cut a straight line with no drift using a simple carpenter's square. Looking forward to your future reviews.

[@rockwelltools]

+FuriousFilipino I'm sorry you're having drifting issues with the BladeRunner X2. When you set the fence does it move while you're cutting? Is everything locked in place tightly before you start? I just trying to feel out the issue.

[@FuriousFilipino]

+Rockwell Tools the fence was locked down tight. I even used an Engineer's square to make sure the fence was equidistant all the way around. After several disappointing cuts, I figured I can cant the fence to account for the blade drift, but all that did was make the blade bind. I was cutting 1/4" MDF, 1/4" Lexan, and 16 gauge aluminum sheet, with the best Bosch blades for each material. Free-hand cuts gave me the best results even on 4' long rips, with only a 1/64"-1/32" deviation from parallel-I could compensate for the blade drift visually. However, using the fence and to some degree, the miter guide, gave lackluster results that I wouldn't even consider passable for rough framing. I've been debating returning this machine, but the options for metal cutting with reasonable accuracy don't exist at this price rang. It would just be nice to be able to rely on the fence and miter guide to speed up the work process.

[@rockwelltools]

+FuriousFilipino I see. There may be some other issue your BladeRunner X2 is having. Call our customer service line and see what they can do for you first. You may not have to return it. It just may be defective. Our number is: 866-955-4175.

[@rickp6181]

Great Job!! Reminded me of the old Joe Friday routine: "just the facts, Mam" ..... excellent

[@lauracullen5285]

I have one for couple of years. Only thing better is someone to do all the work without me !! Ha........great saw & fun to use.

[@Lobesanft]

I was glad to get one of the original blade runners which meanwhile have been discontinued due to a following new model. They´re sold in Germany under the Worx brand, the original one is called wx570, the new one - shown in the video - wx572. In comparison I suppose the older model to be the better one. The new model has no speed adjust any longer which is quite useful for steel and tile cuts and has the basement of the upper part "in line" to the cutting blade so it is a little bit easier to handle long straight cuts but is more limited in doing typical scroll saw work because the space between blade and upper arm basement is shorter. Of course You can remove the complete upper part but I regularly face the problem that the blades tend to slip aside and therefore produce slight angle cuts according to the specific wood grain. Overall a good saw for the home worker. Heavier tasks should nevertheless be made with professional jigsaws as the bosch blue line 150 CE or a band saw or angle cuts and thick material with a standard table disc saw.

[@tinkeringeekkissimmeefl4495]

[@georges7518]

Nice job on there review

[@RealToolReviews]

George S Thanks George!

[@NKBobcat]

Great review. I bought one based on your review. I really do like it a lot but I use better quality blades because I was getting too much vibration on small cuts I make to hardwoods. With the Bosch blades it cuts hardwood like buttah!

[@RealToolReviews]

+Bob Marioni Thanks Bob! I am glad you liked it.....I completely agree on better blades --- I upgrade just about everything (table saws, miter saws, jig saws, etc) right out of the box anymore & get much better performance and cut quality the whole way around. The other thing that really helps lower vibrations on this is to screw it down to a sheet of plywood or workbench....then it runs very smooth. Thanks for the update!

[@fishnapples]

Thanks for the video, really great overview of the product! I'm looking at buying this for our DIY projects, but our first one is the reason we'd be buying it now; we're turning our bar height dining room table into a traditional height.. so we need something that will zip through the legs. They're approximately 3X3inches thick.. do you think this will do the job? Thanks again!

[@shahbasharat]

excellent review

[@Tittlesnhizmouf]

Great video can't wait to get one thanks!

[@johnsilvers3192]

just returned my Bladerunner to the store this evening because I was also having the drifting blade problem however I did not have any problems when I use the rip fence it was only during the miter gauge crosscut that I had an issue. watching your video I think I have figured out what the issue is I noticed when you were running the pipe through the blade using the miter gauge that you were also holding the other end of the pipe as well as holding the in that was on the miter gauge this would have course stabilized material and most likely have kept any blade drift from happening. I would suspect that if I ordered the sliding table and put some non slip strips on it that the problem with most likely completely disappear. I believe that it is the vibration that is causing the material to drift and causing the blade to move during cutting without one realizing it. having come across this epiphany I reordered the Bladerunner X2 along with the Crosscut sled and a nice Blade Set just a few minutes ago. I am going to try out my theories when it gets here but I am almost positive that this is what is going on positive feedback is so much higher than the negative feedback. I will let you know my results and thank you so much for this awesome video it was an eye-opener.

[@RealToolReviews]

Sweet....glad to help. Yes, vibrations really hurt cut quality.....I also suggest that you use a couple long (3") drywall screws with washers to hold it securely to a workbench on sheet of plywood. I got a lot better cuts & a LOT less vibrations when using it that way. Also, the blades are regular t-shank jigsaw blades.....you should look at the Bosch branded ones at Lowes or Home Depot....they are good quality for the money.

[@johnsilvers3192]

I actually did order the Bosch blades. I kind of feel stupid for returning it because I liked it so much up until I came across that problem but now that I've read all the reviews and realize just how much vibration I was getting without supporting the material on the other side there is no way in the world I would not be getting blade drift. Unfortunately that was the last one the store had so I had to order this next one but that's okay I got the sled table along with it something tells me from here on out it won't be a problem I was loving the tool up until then

[@johnsilvers3192]

+Real Tool Reviews so you mounted the actual machine to the plywood and then clamped it up on your workbench is that correct???

[@johnsilvers3192]

+Real Tool Reviews I do apologize for the many questions but I really do appreciate your answers I just want to make sure that I mount it up right. so essentially you used 3 inch drywall screws some washers obviously to stop the screws from going through the mounting holes amounted to a piece of plywood which in turn could then be clamped onto a portable work bench?

[@FrenchValleyAirport]

moon shape had a flat spot, and that tile also had a little niche in it.. I saw that. ;)

[@RealToolReviews]

David G The moon actually was supposed to have a flat spot, since we used two identical sections to make a photo-prop with....that way it would sit flat on the ground and not rock. I'm not sure about the tile....it was just a quick test cut to see if it would do it....I am sure I could have done a better job if I was not trying to position myself for the camera.

[@FrenchValleyAirport]

[@MrCrankyface]

[@davideddy7248]

I have worked as a Tool and Die Maker and a Design Engineer. I like this jigsaw application for its variety and convenience of use.

[@TommyFosterSmoke1964]

Nice saw, but will it cut porcelin tile as well, Im also curious to know if the blade causes any chipping on the face of the tile. I do like the compact size, and shop-vac attachment. Im looking for a compact tile saw, but I see this has no area to put water, so no wet saw capability. Thanks for the video, I watch all your reviews, very informative. Thank You.

[@RealToolReviews]

+Tommy Foster I couldnt get it to cut it, but then again I was not using specialized blades....with normal ceramic tile blades it wont scratch the porcelin tiles. I would suggest a tile saw, this is more-so for the DIYer that is looking for a saw in between a jigsaw & circular saw. I am glad you like the reviews! Thanks for watching!

[@buttersfan18]

I just ordered this today and im really excited! there will be a lot of laminate boards being cut, can you tell which blade is best for that? i'm still really new to wood working stuff. this video was also really helpful!

[@creativevizionz4447]

Great video! I just got this today.. learned a lot from the video. Quick question - what type of blade should I use for cutting vinyl plank wood flooring? Can I still use the wood cutting blade even though they are vinyl planks?

[@darrinrace8865]

How does this compare to original one? I have the original Bladerunner and seen these new X2s at Lowes. Yes I know about the dedicated Rip Fence and dust port, but is seems more flimsy than the original, The lighter new one scares me as does not seem to be as "beefy'" how does the motor compare to the original?

[@malcolm4k270]

Would you recommend this for a beginner & can I use my Dewalt 10-Piece Assorted U-Shank Jig Saw Blade Set with it?

[@RealToolReviews]

I’d recommend a standard jigsaw, but this is useful also. Using the same blades makes it nice for sure.

[@SunnyandLola]

I am a novice at woodworking, but I found a local woodworking shop that gives away their scraps for free. I have been collecting them, and I want to make some furniture for Barbie and other types of dolls. This tool was recommended to me, and I was wondering if you would have any recommendations on whether I could use this in a utility room inside my home, and whether I will need additional items to make it work efficiently? I noticed several mentions of the blade slipping because of vibrations - would it be best to buy a small workbench to attach it to? Also, what about dust? Should I buy a shop vac as well, in order not to spread too much dust around in the house?

[@samjg1]

Are there carbide blades available for this saw? This looks like a good tool for cutting laminate flooring. However, I've found that when using my old table saw a regular blade wears way too quickly. I imagine that would hold true for a regular jigsaw blade also.

[@RealToolReviews]

+Sam G I am not sure.....it uses standard jigsaw blades, so that would be the limitation.

[@djk259]

Excellent video. Rockwell should hire you pronto (or at least give you a commission).

[@RealToolReviews]

Hahaha....nice :)

[@zachandtyelerpotter4288]

I'm brand new at this DIY stuff and just bought this BladeRunner. How do you cut the middle of a piece of wood. For instance, I'm cutting the letter P, how do I get the inner 'hole' of the P out? Also, how do I cut a 90 degree corner? I'm assuming I have to reposition my wood?

[@RealToolReviews]

Tyeler Potter Tyeler - the first thing you need to do is drill a hole in the part you want to remove, that way you then can make a series of cuts in that material to follow your lines & remove it from the center of the board (drill a hole & place the wood over the blade with the blade sticking through the hole).

[@glazecase]

Hey there, thanks to your video, I ended up getting this vs a bandsaw in the same price range. Even though I can't cut as thick as a bandsaw can it makes up for it in the quickness of changing blade. One question though... Do you find it to vibrate very bad? If so, how did you deal with this? Please let me know. Thanks .

[@RealToolReviews]

I screwed mine to a piece of plywood with 2 drywall screws with washers on them & the vibrations went down 80%.

[@glazecase]

Real Tool Reviews thanks for the heads up.

[@anthonyb1426]

Great video! What type of blade did you use to cut the plank flooring? I am Installing Lifeproof Luxury vinyl plank in my kitchen and used a oscillating tool when I did my bathroom but was not the best tool, so I will be ordering one of these baby’s!

[@kimbozarth2591]

Bought one of these because of your video! Great demonstation; thank you! The info that comes with the saw is sadly lacking. Saw a video about a circle cutting jig and a picture frame making jig for the original Bladerunner. I don't see any accessories listed on the Rockwell site like those for the X2. Have any idea if they exist?

[@djthunderpsn]

Another great review

[@RealToolReviews]

Djthunder PSN Thanks!

[@KungFuMojo]

Is the distance between the bearings adjustable in this model? I played around with the first model and didn't like it. The bearings in the guide arm didn't even touch the blade causing blade wander. And you could not adjust it. It would be nice to be able to adjust the distance between the bearings.

great video. Was looking for demo of it cutting laminate flooring so I'm going to buy one now Just a question: can you cut ceramic tile without water? Didn't know that could be done safely.

I’d suggest an actual tile saw....and thanks!

I will never need a tool like this and don't care about it but I hit like anyway. :P

[@RealToolReviews]

GigaDonk Lol....nice ;)

Can it still use the circle attachment that the original blade runner has? your video is great, I love seeing tools in action, it's a much better understanding of what the tool is capable of. ( Rockwell RW9261 BladeRunner Circle Cutter )

[@RealToolReviews]

Randy Murray Thanks! I am not sure about the circle cutter though, I would suggest calling Rockwell & they could give you a definite answer.

How close can you get with the rip fence, I need to cut a piece of trim outside edge molding down to a 1/4 inch on one side.

[@infiltretor287]

I can’t get my board to stay straight without getting caught towards the middle and turning away from the fence. Any suggestions?

Question, what is the best and smallest DIYer tool for cutting angles for picture frames?

[@RealToolReviews]

+Svitlana Coulter A miter box with saw (non-powered) like this one ---> www.amazon.com/Stanley-20-600-Clamping-Mitre-Box/dp/B00002X232/?_encoding=UTF8&tag=reatoorev-20

[@davogifman542]

Svitlana/ You could use a Dremel Saw-Max,or the Dremel Moto-Saw. Each cost around $80 usd where I live. I don't think you can get much smaller unless you go with a hand saw/miter box for around $20/30 usd. Happy framing! :)
