Loved your sense of humor throughout your “am I going to ask questions throughout this video” and “I’m touching this saw in a really weird way” I’m paraphrase a little, but loved your video. Great information for a beginner like me…thanks.
Amazing delivery. Simple and hilarious. I have a 12 inch ridgid miter saw that doesn't slide. You've convinced me that I'll be fine without a sliding one. Thanks for saving me the money.
Love the "Seinfeld" clips. Glad to know another loves that series. So many clips from that show deal with daily life. Keep up the good work. Fyi, my first mitre saw was the yellow one.
I have a similar Ryobi and it pulls out just like your Bosch. So, it has increased capacity. I think it was around $250 or so. It's a pretty good saw. It does produce a ton of dust though. I always use it outside because it makes a huge mess. When I tested it hooked up to a shop vac, same issue as you. Might as well not connect a vac to it, lol. But next time I'm going to try putting the vac hose in a different spot. And ALWAYS wear a mask even if you have good dust collection! Meanwhile, I'm building a shop air filter. Until I get that done, I'm not going to use my miter saw indoors.
My first miter saw was an ultra cheap King, but I quickly gave it away to a neighbor. Then I got a DW716 and fell in love. When I added a Ryobi universal stand to it, it became my favorite tool bar none. Dewalt miter saw are hard to beat for dust collection, absolute flatness of the table (even Festool could learn a thing or two about this).
We have small DeWalt miter saw, which like your Ryobi we have had for years, and bought the same Bosch you have about six months ago. I absolutely love the Bosch 👍👍 I would also agree that the Bosch is worth the cost.
I used a Sears Craftsman 10" for many years. I finally decided to upgrade to a 12" Makita. These saws are pricey, but require no extra clearance on the back side, easy to adjust for perfect 90 degree cuts and supply an excellent blade right out of the box. Mark
My first miter saw was a also a Ryobi in 1994ish, very solid, cast base, dead on accurate but zero dust collection. I too bought this same Bosch and love it. Along with the same dust collection upgrade, it does a great job and highly recommend both.
Zero clearance inserts for miter saws don't actually reduce tear out. Think of it as an inverted tablesaw - you don't get tear-out on the top of a tablesaw and likewise you don't get tear out at the bottom of a miter saw. OTOH, a zero clearance fence can stop tear-out there, much like a sacrificial fence on a miter gauge. But, you can't use a zero clearance fence with that dust collection upgrade on the miter saw. What can help with tear out on the top of piece on the miter saw is to make a shallow scoring cut first. And blue tape can help some, too.
You're not really comparing the same mitre saws here - ones a drop saw and ones a compound. I'm pretty sure Ryobi still make a similar style as the Bosch (I've got the older blue Ryobi) and is still going. And not to say Bosch don't make a great product. A lot of the tear out also comes from the crap blades they come with. Changing to a better blade will give vastly better results. And yes, you can buy universal hose adapters to attach to any tool at most hardware stores.
You're comparing apples to oranges here. I recently bought the Ryobi sliding compound miter saw, and have had no problems. I was worried about the dust collection because I want to work inside due to the temperature this time of year. I was able to hook up an old household vacuum hose in my basement and that took care of most of the dust, and then just vacuumed the carpet after and you'd never know the difference. I will say it is pretty loud though, I had to use my noise cancelling ear buds.
I have the ryobi hp plus brushless 10-inch cordless mitersaw. I love it, and it's great on dust collection. I'm still learning woodworking. I got it on clearance. I upgraded from my bauer 7.5 inch and still have the bauer, but 10 inches give way better cut capacity. I'm still not sure how to create zero clearance and adjustments to make sure cuts are square. Any advice
At the risk of blowing my own horn... I scored the Bosch, with stand, on Craigslist for $500 from a guy who used it for one project. Another great feature is the zero wall clearance. The one con is its heavy, especially on the stand. Portable is more of a suggestion. I have another Bosch 10" compound miter saw that I use outside the shop. Its great for deck projects and stuff. I bought it used, cheap, and refurbished it.
You do realize they make adapters for different hose sizes right? 😂 And, you can 100% make clean cut and flip cuts on a small miter saw if you're smart enough to use a stop block 😂. For that Ryobi, I would add a small rubber sheet formed into a wider cone in place of the tiny one that's on there. That will greatly increase the dust collection. I actually have an old Ryobi blue miter saw that's still going strong today.
Bought a Ryobi mitre saw when I didn’t know any better & didn’t check any reviews, I was price driven. No matter what I do I can’t get accurate cuts, watched all the “how to tune” videos to no avail. Ryobi tools are OK ie drills, grinders etc.that don’t require any sort of calibration. I now use my table saw with a quality mitre gauge for detail work.
Not one danger from dust.’my dad never had dust collection. We swept up when we were done. We didn’t have masks, or they weren’t commonly used at all. He lived to be 97, with no breathing problems at all.

I am 62 and just diagnosed with asthma - at least not COPD, yet. PLEAE take dust collection VERY seriously regardless of your age. I may never see my grandkids 10th birthday and my wife will move on to another husband (which I will support). Ignoring dust is really a big miss. I wish I could have the last 40 years back to do it the right way.
Glad to hear your dad was fine, but anecdotes aren't data. All major English language worker safety boards (and not just those, of course) point out that chronic inhalation of wood dust will drastically increase the risk of asthma, lung cancer (hardwood dust is a carcinogen), and other respiratory diseases. There's a plethora of studies and meta analyses on the subject (a lot of them freely available on PubMed) cementing that conclusion. It's like with smoking - sure, there's the occasional smoker who'll make it to their 90ies without any issues, but for the vast majority of smokers, that's not what's going to happen to them....

Totally understandable. I’m looking into getting an air filtration system for my shop which should be nice.

Yep. ZCI for miter saw only really help keep small cut offs from falling into the slot.

Find your model number, and do a couple YT searches:
Ryobi XXXXX zero clearance and Ryobi XXXXX fine adjustments.
Snickerdoodle *is* far better that chocolate chip. This video is 🔥
Thanks and it’s not even close.
@ agreed!
My wife makes a killer peanut butter/chocolate chip that beats both. 😛
@ fighting words 😂
I lost my ryobi dust bag since years ago on a jobsite and have been running it with nothing since. There's barely a noticeable difference.
Thanks for the input!

Come on man
Snickerdoodle is good but better than chocolate chip. 😮😂
I know, very controversial.
Just like t(e old Banana boat song film “TOO LOUD man TOO LOUD”
Bought a Ryobi mitre saw when I didn’t know any better & didn’t check any reviews, I was price driven.

Absolutely. Good call.
DID YOU JUST CALL RYOBI FISCHER PRICE IM DEAD
Haha
Not enough Seinfeld references
I agree.
Don't throw away that pat on the back footage. You may need it for future videos.
Absolutely.
Their table saw is even worse
It makes me nervous just thinking about it.
Lose the HDR in your videos and I’ll sub! I like the Seinfeld clips 😁
Thanks!
I have a Ryobi table saw, it has a good motor but other then that it's garbage!
Agree.
What the heck is behind that little grey door on the wall behind you? Thanks.
Blah blah blah.....cut the waffle.

That's the worst piece of advice I've seen in ages.
