Anyone have a Kobolt 12″ sliding compound miter saw? I just got one for $199 for black Friday deal. They usually go for $299. I will need to make sure the fence, blade, etc. are straight and square. I have read that some of them are not square from the factory.
I was going to get the Dewalt, but at $600, I can’t justify it for the few times I will use it.
awesome hope you get a good one…..
Just bought the 7.25″ for $99. For that price I had to do it. It seems pretty decent, I know it’s not the 12″, but it’s like the small one should be ok
I too have the 7 1/4, power wise it’s good but the slider is rough

Can the slider be polished to make it less rough without taking metal off enough to cause a problem?
For 200 my expectations aren’t too high.

Feels like it could be more to it than just polishing the rails but I haven’t tinkered too much with it
