Ryobi 10 Inch Sliding Miter Chop Saw: Specs and 2 Year Review

[@stevewatson8366]

I echo evryone's comments. I was looking at buying the 12" Ryobi but after listening to your comments I am going to get the 10" . I appreciate your candor and detailed explanations. A super fine job. Keep it up!

[@juanpaulr]

You are the golden child of mider saws. Thanks for your honest feed back. About to order the 10in.

[@mykolashatkovskyi8817]

Best review for this saw on KZbin, so far. Thank you.

[@tomm8357]

best review in the interwebs! You sold me on the Ryobi.

[@justinp9451]

My 10 year old Hitachi but the dust a few weeks ago. Was looking at new ones and started looking into Ryobi just for giggles. Ended up grabbing and updated version of this one (LED instead of laser) with a matching stand for $215 total at HD. Watched this shortly after pulling the trigger and it seems like I made a good choice. Thank you sir!

[@bhadz100]

How are you liking it so far? Ryobi has been a hit and miss for me. Some tools are good and some crap out after a year

[@simplysimple7628]

You my friend explained this review to the T. Very well spoken and detailed explanations and most of all, COMMON SENSE!!😂🤦🏽‍♂️ Especially the budget parts. I’m exactly in the same mentality as yourself. Woodworker hobbyist. I work mostly with palletwood/reclaimed wood to make smal furniture items/paneling. I’ve just purchased this saw and I’ll say easily that I’m hugely impressed by the quality of this saw. Ryobi is really stepping up in the power tool game. Anyone that does simple woodworking or just for home use, this saw is PERFECT for you. So much people like us purchase a saw that’s a couple hundred bucks more just to say they got the name brand🤦🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️ Why? This saw does just a good a job as the makitas, dewalts, hitachis, etc. The others might last longer but if you’re not using it for a career/trade then you’re wasting your money. Buy this saw. You won’t be disappointed. Trust me.....🙏🏼🤙🏼👍🏼

[@DoubleBitsWorkshop]

Thank you very much for your comment! I do feel the same way about quite a few tools in this regard and if its cord powered im not 100% for only one brand. Each brand makes good products but some have better options and price points that im all for. I think only my drills and cordless tools with stay the same brand but thats mainly because buying dang batteries of different brands costs way too much!

[@dominicnguyen1249]

Very informative. HD has it now on sale for $179 for BF. After watching this review, I've made up my mind and gone with this saw. Thank you!

[@redgoattee1313]

Thank you for the video. I've been racking my brain for what miter saw to buy. I've had my eye on this saw for some time. A lot of people have told me not buy Ryobi (anything). My answer is always "I'm not on a job site. I'm just a diy guy." I think I have made up my mind. Thank you.

[@DoubleBitsWorkshop]

You are most welcome! Glad I could help!

[@DaniilStanisevschi]

Hey - great review. A note on the cutline LED laser: they stopped making it a "laser" and now it's an LED light. They essentially say this in the manual: "Use the shadow generated by the LED light from the blade to assume that is where the plate will cut". It's a little disappointing, but time will tell if the light outweighs having a precise laser line.

[@carasmussen27]

I just bought this today. Hubby helped put it on the stand and I'll be using it tomorrow. I watched and read many reviews and finding yours helps me feel confident in the purchase

Hobbyist here. Let me tell you that I've seen a lot of videos and reviews on various miter saws and your very thorough video tipped the scales. I'm going with the 10" Ryobi. :-)

Thanks for explaining how the slider can get gunked up and distort cuts. Now I know what I need to do. Greatly appreciated. I’m now a subscriber. After I first hit the like button.

[@joecool702]

Fantastic review. Extremely thorough and well articulated. Currently in the market for my first miter saw and this is on sale at Home Depot. Grew up around and using Dewalt, Makita, Bosch, etc. and wasn't sure if Ryobi's price was too good to be true. Not using this anywhere other than my home workshop and you've helped quell my concerns about it being too "budget" and worries that it wouldn't hold up. Thanks!

[@DoubleBitsWorkshop]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks so much for the kind comment. Have a great time creating!

Glad to know I made the right purchase today. Late research 😁

Thanks! I needed to know how much space this would take up in my small workshop. You gave me ALL the answers!

[@DoubleBitsWorkshop]

Glad I could help!

[@ghiagoo]

Thanks for the info about tripping the breaker. Wouldn’t have thought about that, since they say 15amps

[@langhamp8912]

I actually bought this saw at Home Depot after watching this video, thinking "15 amps, nah it'll be ok on a 15 amp rail". It turns out that with an extension cord it's doable but flip the shop vac on and the circuit breaker trips. I returned the saw after explaining to HD what happened, and they nicely took it back, but it's a much better and cheaper saw than my cordless Craftsman 8 incher.

[@michaelmassetti4068]

I agree . Excellent review and a heck of a lot more information than the manufacturer gives for those of us that wish to make a station put it on for a small shop. I clean all my equipment with can air or my shop vac so I can build stuff without any problems. Thanks again for the review.

[@2006mrderrickh]

Nice video! It's the best one I have seen for this miter saw.

[@lzh3131]

Great video. I totally agree with other reviewers, this is the best video for mitre saw review. I’m rehabbing a sailboat. You gave information that I hadn’t considered before, such as the space requirements. I’ll have to figure out the best way to maintain the slide aspect, live near the beach. Maybe a cover? This will be my first Ryobi product. Keep up the great videos!👍👍👍

[@DoubleBitsWorkshop]

Thank you for your comment! I'm glad it helped to give a few pointers for ya!

[@jeromestevenfaigin6059]

What about a smaller paw print in Ryobi miter saw like the TS1346? What does compound miter saw mean? I was cutting notty pine and the intake port clogged up pretty quick. Sure cuts and brake real quick. No Lazer but the job lights exposes a dark line on their. I also have a Craftsman radial arm saw built in 1989. Just needs a few more alignment issues and I'll maybe finish one soon?

[@DoubleBitsWorkshop]

You could go with that model. The best model of saw is always the one that fits your needs. :-) and the radial arms saws in that year range are pretty good! Sadly radial arm saws get a bad rap. Nothing against them! Just didn't have the space for the two I had in this shop, so I had to sell them

[@wonderboy788]

Great video, excellent review!

[@mariobrothers4842]

Good job thank you liked all the details information about the 2-year review. Wanted to ask how do you clean out the the rails for the miter saw with air compressor or you have to use special oil.

[@DoubleBitsWorkshop]

You can remove the panel in the middle of the saw where the rails slide at. And there will be a felt piece and exposed bearing you can blow it out then use wax or a mild grease. But grease can attract saw dust pretty quickly so a dry lube works best

[@DoubleBitsWorkshop]

If you search my channel I have a cleaning video for this saw as well

[@petercsurkay6670]

Good FYI, How do u clean the sliders or lubed them besides compressor cleanout?

[@DoubleBitsWorkshop]

Denatured alcohol wipe down of all contacting surfaces. And use a rub on wax to help with glide. There are quite a few wax glide products out there to help with planers, drawer slides, jointers, basically anything that may work better with being lubed, but with wax it wont attract saw dust or grime nearly as bad if at all!

[@mr.dunnsartclass3240]

[@rickbecket2820]

How small/short a piece of wood can you clamp to the saw for a cut? For example will the saw clamp a 3 inch piece of baseboard for an angle cut? Thanks and great review.

[@DoubleBitsWorkshop]

Thank you! And It can! You will be running it close. But you can make it work.

[@TheLeesto]

really love the perspective of an expert on this saw. i was debating between a 12 inch dewalt and a 10 inch ryobi but with a $300 price difference and more expensive blades I think the dewalt loses this one for me.

[@DoubleBitsWorkshop]

Totally understandable. Budget is something I focus a lot on because most of the time in the real world it is something that really makes a difference.

[@dinnerwithfranklin]

Excellent review and information. Thanks

[@DoubleBitsWorkshop]

[@Flumphinator]

Just got one for $180 on sale at HD. Been looking at all of the ones on Amazon (Tacklife caught my eye but it's metric and uses weird saw blades). Gonna build me some shelves.

You're very well spoken. Please keep it up, your a natural. You're following will grow, it just takes time, but then you'll blow up all of a sudden before you know it. I love the practical real-world considerations such as budget. I hate reviews that just talk about the "best" because real people have other uses for money. Thanks man!

Good video, informative, good amount of hours before flapping your yap and random tips / tech specs from someone who knows what their doing.

[@elmoking95]

Thank you for this very thorough and honest review! You touched all points but one for me. How accurate/reliable are the angle guides? If anyone knows, I would greatly appreciate you sharing! Hope all are well

[@DoubleBitsWorkshop]

Angle cuts are very accurate but as with any chopsaw make sure your blade is very sharp or your material is very secure. The blade will always want to pull the cut slightly do to any angle.

[@elmoking95]

I just bought the 7 1/4 I m considering changing it bc I m not sure if I'll be able to call 2 x 2 or 4 x 4.????

[@DoubleBitsWorkshop]

The 7 1/4 chop saw is a good saw, but you are limited to mainly trim work type cuts or multiple cuts to make one cut with it sadly. But its mainly up to you and what your budget looks like, if this saw is not on sale then feel free to watch my video on the 10 inch harbor freight chop saw and see if that might work for you as well.

[@doryjackson4664]

ABSOLUTELY COMPREHENSIVE in the way We Need...And HONEST!...THANK YOU for your Generosity!!!

So taken my out of the box tje glide actually sucked. Then took off the plate at the back of the glide. One side seal and other has some sort of tension feet i guess. Anyhows you back the nut off and loosen the stud bolt with an Allen wrench and walla glide pretty damn nice.

No worries! Thank you for your comment. :-) and i had looked at the 12inch and i like it. But this one came up at such a good deal and I was very use to 10inch saws doing everything i needed, so it was perfect for me! Enjoy your saw. Its a good purchase thats the heart and soul of ever shop!

[@SamPeabody]

Do you know what the spacing is between the mounting holes to secure it to a stand or bench?

[@beckerg04]

Would you suggest this mounted on a rolling g cart?

[@DoubleBitsWorkshop]

Well.. yes and no? Depending on if you are going with just locking wheels then no. I would say only if you spring for the more worth while wheels that either fold away when not in use, or the ones with a separate raiser that lifts the wheels off the ground. if you only get wheels that lock the wheel can still rotate in place without spinning, and they will throw off your cut.

[@andyglenn7367]

Would recommend buy the miter universal stand with miter saw?

[@DoubleBitsWorkshop]

Ive used the universal with delta and Dewalt miter saws, and it works great! I believe this has the same foot print and should work just as good. :-)

[@-unascertained-]

How does this compare to the 10"? Plz answer I need to make a decision asap!!!

[@DoubleBitsWorkshop]

Well this is the 10" model. So are you meaning a different brands 10"?

[@DoubleBitsWorkshop]

If your talking about just a 10" ryobi miter saw then the main difference is that you are restricted to only cutting 2x4s and 4x4s if you cut then roll the wood and cut again. The motors are the same as i can tell.

[@juniorjones5137]

Great video, This Ryobi $218 vs habour freight 12 inch Admiral for $179 on sale which would u buy?

[@juniorjones5137]

Mainly for building a deck at my home

[@DoubleBitsWorkshop]

@@juniorjones5137 if the admiral is on that kind of sale I would go with that one. Both are solid products. Harbor Freight is very good with returns if anything is missing or broken. As a side note my only true complaint about Ryobi is if you happened to have the misfortune of an issue and need a replacement Home Depot is bad about having some pushback with Ryobi in general with making returns and exchanges harder.

[@sanmiol]

Can it cut through a 5-1/4 in baseboard standing? or should I purchase the 12 in miter?

[@DoubleBitsWorkshop]

Unfortunately I think you would need the 12 inch if you have to cut it standing. The cut height on a 10 inch blade is 4 inches dead center.

[@sanmiol]

@@DoubleBitsWorkshop OK thanks!

[@sarcasticsonic]

Can you cut 2x8 on 45 degree laying flat in one go with this?

[@DoubleBitsWorkshop]

Yes! If you check out one of my first videos I cut a 2x8 that eventually became an axe handle, here's the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXrUc4SgeqeioKc (starting after the intro around 0:55) Cutting on the 45 degree should still have plenty of room for a 2x8 with the cutting length being almost 13 inches on this chop saw :)

[@tydiggs9117]

Excellent. Thank you.

[@EakEmk]

Did you have to calibrate the fence on the saw? Or was the saw cutting dead on accurate out of the box?

[@DoubleBitsWorkshop]

Mine luckily was dead on accurate. There is some minor adjustments you can make from the look of it though.

[@nore8141]

What’s the size, like 10x12 ish ?

Hello! I hope you can find the answer you're looking for. I tried some googling but it all comes up as a Miter Saw for both EU and US. Ryobi does make tools for EU but there may be a brand that uses their same patents under a different name there. Sorry I couldn't help more!

[@ZRMvoice]

It's trash. The fence warps like crazy. That's why the cuts go bad. And it's not even fixable unless you sit there for days calculating shims because it twists every way possible. My sliders are brand new and the slide cuts are so far off that it's criminal. Don't buy this tool. I just tossed mine at the floor after 5 months of barely getting by with it. It's propagated more suicidal thoughts than anything else I've experienced. It's total trash and Ryobi should have fixed these issues by now

[@DoubleBitsWorkshop]

I sadly have been hearing that a "newer" change has been made to the floor models in some areas, and there have been some "money saving" changes Ryobi has done to these saws. Including no longer having a laser for the cuts but instead a light.

[@GeekRedux]

Great review, but...That isn't a chop saw. A chop saw is its own category of saw that is characterized by what it does, not how it generally looks. Proper chop saws don't miter or bevel, and are generally used to make straight 90 deg cuts in metal. For this reason, chop saws are usually equipped with abrasive disks and not blades. Great review with lots of good info, but that drove me a little crazy.

[@DoubleBitsWorkshop]

Thanks for the break down. Not everyone is aware of the difference between a chop saw and miter saw (though I am). The title and use of the term "chop saw" has been used to reach a wider audience that may be searching the term "chop saw" as it has become a general term for most miter saws. I also just have a habit of calling it a chop saw even though it technically isn't haha

[@GeekRedux]

@@DoubleBitsWorkshop Fair enough! I almost picked one of these up yesterday, but I learned the miter angle doesn't open up wide enough for my next project. (Doing siding and roof pitch will require a 52 deg miter--went with Hitachi--errr...Metabo.) Anyway, good reviews. You should have more subscribers.
