    The craftsman miter saw was easy to assemble and easy to use. June 16, 2010

    The craftsman professional 15 amp compound miter saw works like a charm.  It is easy to use. I am pleased with the way it cuts.  The laser trac is not necessary but its there if you need it.  The price is reasonable and it is even better when you can get it free when you use your Sears credit card rewards points.

    21235 Review August 19, 2007

    I looks like a lot of thought went into the saw. That is until you get to the 5/8's arbor. It really limits you to your choices in blades. I'm about to move the nearest Sears store will be over 75 miles away. It would have been nice to had a saw that you could have picked up a new blade for at a small mom and pop hardware store. Even online it's hard to find a 12" blade with a 5/8's arbor. I returned the saw. Other than that it seemed like a pretty good saw for the money. The saw set up very easily and was square right out of the box. I think Sears needs to think about an engineering change to a 1 inch arbor. Such a great saw to have one small killing sales issue.

    Craftsman Professional 15 amp belt drive Miter saw May 18, 2012
    via sears_dot_com
    By DaveStanbrough of Andover, MN

    Great saw! Whether you're a pro or a DIY guy, this saw has everything you need to make things like crown moulding, cove base, small or large cabinet projects, bookcases, and more. It has belt drive, so it cuts like butter. It has a very wide upper fence, a feature one usually sees on much more spendy models. You can square the fence to the blade, and square the blade to the table. Again, features usually found on more expensive saws. There are pre-set adjustment blocks both left and right on the saw bevel, to give you 33.9 degrees for miter cuts on crown molding projects, and a handy guide on the table for width of same. Very handy. A 90 degree block to easily get you back to square. Swivel in, swivel out. It's that simple. A laser to let you see where you are going to cut. A port for attaching the saw to your in-house dust collector, or shop vac, and a bag if you don't have those in your shop. Simple one hand operation, and it comes with a roller guide, and some different clamping options, and all the tools you need to make adjustments, change the blade, and so forth. A saw well under priced for the value it gives you.

    Craftsman Pro 15 amp Miter Saw. September 08, 2011

    Pros:
    Decent power to make cuts.

    I took it out of the box with very little assembly and put up 420' of privacy fence. It cut through 4X4, 2X4, and the fence boards like butter. By far hands down best Miter saw I have owned and the price was even better.

    Decent Compound Miter Saw especially if you get it on sale. May 19, 2011

    Pros:
    Decent power to make cuts.
    Cons:
    Blade hits throat plate at 45 deg. bevel

    Decent power for making cuts. Easy to adjust. Clamp works great.

    Not as much adjustments as other saws. You can not adjust the bevel at the 45 deg like other saws. You have to loosen all the screws on both side of fence since it's a single fence. Even then there is not much you can adjust it.

    Should have a way of mounting the table extention from the side and not only from underneath. If you have the saw mounted on a board and you leave the table extention on it's hard to store since it stick out too far. Otherwise you always have to unmount it from your board in order to put on or take off the extention.

    Laser is only useful inside. Outside, you can't even see it if the sun is out.

    One major problem was the throat plate. When you set the bevel at 45 deg., the saw blade would hit the throat plate. Had to spend and hour filing down the opening to enlarge it so the blade would not hit the plate.
