Thank you! I couldn't readily figure out how to unlock the saw. When instructions don't help, go to TH-cam and find someone like you to help me. Appreciate that!
Anytime!
Thanks for Watching!
I just picked up this saw myself! I'm a novice builder and this is a great tool for cutting up 2x4's and the like. I'm happy with it!
I just found this saw used and haven't had time to test it yet. I watched a couple videos before yours and they were pretty negative. Yours at this point is most encouraging. Thanks
I'm a master carpenter with 30 yrs under my belt. I don't buy cheap tools, which usually means I don't buy inexpensive tools. This is an exception. The 12 inch DeWalt slide compound is by far the best saw on the market..........@ $500 - $600 bucks..........and worth it. Having said that, this Kobalt saw is a bargain, and could hold it's own against most miter saws on the market; especially for the price. I like the 10 inch version, as you get a slightly better cut with a smaller diameter blade. Thin kerf blades will wobble when not up to speed, and they bend easily. The only downside is that you can't cut 5 1/4 inch base standing up; and when you're cutting 7 or 800 ft of base in a day, speed matters. I love the forward control for the bevel. Only the Bosch has that, and the Bosch is overpriced, heavy, and won't hold up in the field. ( don't like it ). I wish the saw had a work light instead of a laser. It casts a perfect shadow down the blade and never needs adjusting. Much better than a laser and dead accurate, all the time; but like the laser, you can't see it in direct sun light. I used to cut and install around 5 miles of baseboard per year, and did that without a laser, rarely ever the need for any re-cuts; so a laser is a luxury that is not necessarily needed.
Bottom line.............buy the saw. Most seasoned finish carpenters ( who don't have the DeWalt ) , would be happy with it. P.S. You can pick up the DeWalt DWS 779 for $350 on Amazon. It's not the latest version, but there's very little difference.
Thanks for sharing... I completely agree. It's a great saw for the price. I plan on using it for woodworking which is why I went with the 10" over the 12" for the increased accuracy. The laser is my only complaint and I like you would prefer a back light instead. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for Your input Sir, appreciate it! About to install flooring and redo all stairs, trying to figure out best set up for the $$$. Thanks Again !!
I just picked up my 2nd Kobalt 10in
1st WOULD.NOT DIE !!!!! Lasted YEARSSSS
These are amazing
Thanks, So much easier than reading that instruction manual!
Anytime! Glad I could help and thanks for watching.
Great video!!
Using mine for wood flooring, works amazing. Very nice
Thanks I just brought this saw today. I learned a lot.
Awesome! Enjoy your new tool. Thanks for watching
I been on the fence about getting this. Thanks for giving me a peek! I love kobalt. All my tools are kobalt!
Have this saw. Love it . And love how your fingers were on the inside of the dont touch circle and about two inches from a bran new carbide tip blade spinning at ridiculous speeds . JS
Nice vid man, appreciate the info. Love decent priced tools with some quality! This saw looks the part
i think it's good quality and it suits my needs. Thanks for watching.
This looks like a killer saw for the price. I hope this goes on sale during the holidays because I'll be picking one up for sure. Great video!
I still enjoy it very much. "Fingers Crossed" on the sale! 50/50 but hopefully ads will be out soon! Good Luck and Thanks for Watching.
249. Can not be beat. Def. BEST in it's price range.
Its a very nice saw . I got it a few weeks ago .
*Bought a few months backs **MyBest.Tools** used to cut some 2x4s to make a hanging swing. Cuts were precise and quick.*
I enjoy playing frisbee with the blade. Really good for honing your concentration skills.
Oh shit
I just bought one this saturday.and I like the way it works. Thank you for shearing your video.
Thank you! I could not figure how to enable to slide feature - this is my saw but my husband uses it also and when I get it back ….
I didn’t know I had those on side of mine thank you 😊
Just bought one at Lowes on clearence. Can't wait to use it!
Literally standing at Lowe's right now thinking about doing the same
There is two caps on the laser and if you pop them off you can adjust the laser with the screws in it
Thank you so much for posting this video!
Very helpful video, I just bought my own
Nice unboxing video. I wish you would have demonstrated how you got the laser on the left side of the blade. It comes set up on the right side.
I liked and subscribed to your channel and I hit the bell.
AWESOME VIDEO!!! Thanks, I am going to buy this one! Love the laser!!!! Also I really like how you made your work bench, what kind of saw horses did you use?

Thanks hopefully I will have more content soon.
I used the Kobalt Saw Horses. They don't sell the ones I have anymore but here is a link to the new version.

Nice Video. Thanks. Would have been better had your left arm not been in the way of the custs.
I've seen quite a few negative reviews about the angles being spot on. Anyone here experienced any negative that was either able to be fixed or not with their saw yet? Also, if anyone has the 7 1/4 also I'd like to hear which you prefer on the fly. I'm considering the 24Volt Max 7 1/4 but I'm new to carpentry. Just doing decks and outdoor childs playsets.
I'm not an expert by any means. However, this saw will work great for your application. I've used it to build a deck, made shadow boxes, and cutting boards with no complaints. It's not a $1000 saw but it doesn't cost that either. I have no regrets.
Thanks for Watching
you said now that we got that figured out is the part i need to see....
I show you right after. What I couldn't figure out was how to unlock it to raise the blade. I completely over looked it.
By FAR the BEST SLIDING MITER for $249 range. No comparison needed
I'm on my 2nd. I won't get another
you did show where to make the adjustment to the laser
I am finding that the bevel lock does not truly lock the angle. In the unlock position it moves easily to the angle I need. In the lock position it still allows me to move the angle but I have to apply more pressure to do so
Does this make sense or any way to adjust etc?????
Okay After a long look I think I've found you a fix... If you look on the back of the saw behind the bevel you will see a u shape cast it into the frame. Sticking out of that you shape will be a bolt with a large washer and nut. When you disengage the bevel lock it loosens that bolt and washer allowing you to tilt the saw left or right. I think you should just be able to tighten that bolt and that will fix your issue. Mine is tight enough that it does not move when locked. If you can't tighten it down far enough I suggest putting an additional washer between the nut and washer. Also make sure your bevel lock handle is on tight. I hope this helps if not just write back and we can look I to further... Thanks for watching and commenting. Good luck
Thank you!
I live in Barbados and I have been watching all the reviews on this 10" kabolt compound miter saw. I'm thinking about purchasing it online. Can this saw handle cutting hard wood such at Purple heart or Oaks?
Yes It can. I've used it to cut Purple heart and African Paduka.
I have this saw. When I cut 45’s on my 7.25inch baseboard. The cut closet to the guides is 1/4 shorter than the far end? Already checked, everything is square. Not sure why this is happening, it makes my job 10 times harder. Any tips?
Sorry to hear that. I would say you need to "tune" your saw. It is possible that the 45 detent on the bevel is off or your fence isn't square. Trying to explain how to do that is a little beyond my scope. But there are other videos that show you how and the instruction manual has some limited detail. I would look for a Miter Saw Detent Calibration video. I hope this helps in some way. Thanks for watching.
What can I do to improve dust collection for this saw? Very little sawdust ends up in the bag. Thanks.
I highly recommend hooking up a dust collector or a shop vac to the back instead of the bag. I use a shop van and a Dust Right Dust Separator with mine and It is leaps and bounds better.
When I'm cutting some wood it's smoking at the same time making my finished cut look burnt. what would the problem be..
I always use the clamp on mine
Great video man. Thank you!
Good video. I have had mine for over a year. Many comments on dust collection. Has anyone looked and/or felt around in the dust port? Mine has NO “hole” for the dust to escape - none. Am I missing something?
Going to use mine for shiplap wall...
Should work great!
Did you get a chance to see if the 45° preset cut a perfect 45°? Just curious sometimes they are not right on.
I never used an instrument to test straightness but we used the 45 deg angle to make some shadow boxes and they turned out perfect.
@@lumberhacks3528 thanks!
Just got one today no problem operating except the laser guide is so faint I can barely see it. Turning the control to increase the light doesn't help. Is this just a feature of this or do I need to replace the bulb or whatever anyone else have this problem
Yes the laser is terrible. They should have used a back light.
Question, my 10 “ miter saw is leaving a snag on back end of cut, all adjustments have been made but still leaves snag, any suggestions?
At 3:10 he said you can use it with the blade locked - you can’t. Your work will not go against the fence.
Thank-you!
I've a question, now that you've had this Kobalt miter saw for a while. This saw looks like it has a belt drive. My old miter saw was direct drive with the motor mounted right to the blade. It did not have a soft start so there was a strong 'jolting' motion as the motor ramped up. Also, I found that my old saw had play in the hinges / pivot points. All together it produced uneven results and cuts just enough out-of-square to be a pain. How has this been for you?
Hello,
Considering the placement of the motor I would also assume that it is belt driven since it can't be direct drive.this does have a soft start but you do feel a slight jerk when first powering it up. It's not an inconvenience or something hard to overcome. This saw has held up very well I haven't noticed any wiggling or jiggling in any of the pieces. Once I lock it in it stays where it's at. My main complaints, if you want to call them that, are...
1. I hate the laser and wish it had a backlight like the 24v miter does. It's not accurate and I can't see it under my shop lights.
2. The dust collection while adequate is subpar. But most are. I'm going to make a rubber shoot behind the blade to help with that and I need to upgrade my shop back to a dust collection system.
3. This one's more than me being picky... I need to make a zero clearance insert for it I don't like how the insert dips down lower than the table and I do a lot of small cuts that wind up falling through.
Other than all that I am very pleased with the saw I replace the blade with the Diablo. At the price point I don't think you could get much better. And it has served me well over the last two years. So much so that I use it more than my table saw.
Thanks for watching.
@@lumberhacks3528 Thanks so much for the reply. Exactly the input I was wanting.
why is my saw not working? the little switch is on and pull in the hand switch... and nothing
Could be a bad switch. there is no other safety or tricks. So it's most likely broken.
you skipped over the most important part. out of the box it was not squared up...how do you square it up
Mine was Square out of the box so I don't have a video for this.
I read in other comments that the lasers aren’t zero‘ from factory you need to make those adjustments
Yes that is true... However I have come to find that my laser is not adjustible to the extent I need. I've got some more toying around to do. But here's my issue. When I center the laser on a scribed line and then grab the saw and pull it down the laser moves to the left. So the laser can only be used for initial alignment before you pull the saw down. I'm not sure if the laser is mounted improperly or what the exact issue is yet. Thanks for the comment.
@@lumberhacks3528 Ahhh gotcha, I've seen people mount an LED light right above the saw centered above the blade which will show a shadow of the blade which looks like a great fix and will stay accurate. Anyways great stuff!!
@@manuelmota1318 That is an excellent suggestion. A lot of saws come with that same set up and it is far more accurate and less of a hassle. Thanks for watching and for the comments!
I have the same saw and found the dust collector bag doesn't work and have the same shop vac problem so I did some measurements and looking and found a cheap pipe adapter that works perfect. It's a bit snug on the saw end but fits with a little lubricatant. www.lowes.com/pd_792018-P1056-215-187_4294937087?productId=1000075331
Thanks
Anytime!
I cannot seem to unlock my bevel. I am unable to left that lever. Any idea what to do?
Can u see lazer out side in day light.
Deffinately not. I can barely see it with my shop lights on. Thanks for watching
@Nick Culver Just what I figured. one of the reason I got this was I wanted the laser guide and I find out it's practically useless
Did you mount it to the table?
thank you
Anytime! Thanks for watching.
My dustbag does not collect the dust! it never has, and the laser went out of wack within 2 months and doesn't aim properly.
I never use the dust bag. I suggest removing it and attaching a shop-vac or a dust collection system. As for the laser. I don't like it either. I wish they would have went with a back light. However, I was able to take the laser apart preposition the power wire and now it performs a lot better and stays on target.
I hope this helps. Thanks for watching.
Send it back for another
Hi. Do u still recommend saw
Yes I do I still love it. Thanks for Watching
Nice saw! May I ask how much did you paid for it? Thanx!
I have one and it was $199 at Lowes, now 7 years old or so
I just got mine for $219, the lazer on mine was dead on out of the box and it dont move off my mark all the way through the cut, the fence is square to the blade, only thing I dont like is where the sawdust goes through to the bag is only about 1 inch then it has a 2/12 inch for the shop vac, I dont know why they made the hole so small inside, I didnt hook up my shop vac yet, I hope it works ok
Is there a power button to turn it on
The romex just needs staples nothing wrong with it
Yeah I just haven't made it that far yet. Haven't decided if I'm going to go back and add double gang on the top outlets yet.
Awesome God bless
Does anyone know the size of the saw's connector where the vaccuum bag connects?
I want to buy an adapter so I can hook a shop vac up to it.
Inside Diameter is 2 1/4 inches. I used a 2" PVC coupler and Dremeled out the inside to make it work with my vacuum hose lol. Sorry for the late reply. Thanks for Watching
Took it out of the Box and he has not started up
my laser light is not showing bright at all, it is very faint and not even visible. Could you please help me get it bright so I can see where I am cutting. TIA
So... I don't like the laser at all. Mine isn't bright enough to see with my shop lights on. I am going to try and modify mine with an LED. I'll post a video once I figure it out. Thanks for watching.
@@lumberhacks3528 I think the only way to see the laser is in a dark room definitely not a good idea
Nesesito el switch de kobalt 10 " miter saw
How the hell do u change blade?
On the left side of the saw you will see a small screw above the blade guard close to the center of the saw. Loosen that bolt up a bit but don't take off. Then push the blade guard back and that should expose the arbor bolt. Then you can use an Allen wrench to remove the bolt using the button on the right side of the saw to lock the blade. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching.
Cómo es en los cortes presciso 😸
Dust collection is almost non existent
to see a beard that long near power tool makes me nervous.. 😰
Stay away from Kobalt. Bought one and after a year of use it is broken, and there's no warranty through Kobalt.
This product has a 3 year limited warranty. All you need to do is return it to lowes with proof of purchase. You can also easily save your instore purchases by entering your receipt code using your account at lowes.com. Thanks for watching
@Carlos Francisco That's just sad... I have no affiliation with either so I'm sorry I cant be more help.
Who ran the Romex to the outlets in that room, it looks horrible!!!
I did it. Sorry I'm not a professional I just tried to keep it uniform best I could. Do you have any good tips for the next guy?
hi Paul stop being a Chode troll and get a life
S O S NOTHING NEW
Thanks for the info. I got allready my 10 in. Miter saw ! 🧰
