Quote from PlutoBuddy :
Don't use a saw for laminate. Use a laminate cutter. It's faster and you don't aerosolize toxic plastic dust everywhere.
You forgot to mention the toxic fiberboard layer underneath the toxic plastic.

A laminate cutter is good advice for the length. But you may still need to notch several outer planks with something like a jigsaw.

Quote from SplendidHome1945 :
can you set up a stop block for repeated cuts?
Quote from IncompletePerfect :
On the chance that you are being serioys: No. That would require a fence, or a miter saw table with fence.
At the least it would require a t-track attached to a side support table that you could slide a stop block into.
Bad Advice. You don't seem to know what you're talking about..?

Picked one up today. There were quite a few in my store. They were not in the location or quantity listed on the Lowes website. My local store was listed as unavailable but there were more than 12 in stock. I was about to give up when I spotted the whole stack of them at the end of an Isle rather than the location listed on the website.

Bought it for $98. Used it for 2 days, the well for clamp inserts broke open. Without it, nothing can hold the wood in place. Returned it. Made of very cheap materials that's why it's on clearance price now.
It's not made of metal?

I found this much quicker and less messy for laminate/LVP.

Picked one up as I cut a few pieces of wood or PVC every few years that this will work fine for. They had 5 left at my store and quite a few other things on clearance. According to the printing on the box, these are to be sold by the end of month.

Quote from DrCheap :
Great price for a cheap small simple miter.

Personally, I am holding out for a 12" sliding miter saw deal. I'd be thrilled with anything decent under $200 that is a sliding miter with a 12" blade. Until I find one a few projects are on hold around the house.
You may be surprised at just how heavy a 12" sliding miter saw is. I have one and moving it is horrendous. Plus bumping it out of alignment is a major fear whenever i do move it so it stays a shop saw only.

Good price for sure, but I just don't see much use, even casual use, for this. Besides it's very limited cut size, you can bet it's not the most precise thing around either. Your just as well off using a regular circ saw and square, or for thin stuff like flooring or round stuff, a quick brace or jig out of a scrap piece or 2 of wood.

The cross cut capability is 4-1/4 inches. This just not appear to be a sliding compound miter saw, which you might be looking for.

Got one. A bunch left. It was on an end cap with v20 tools, including the drill/circ saw combo I was looking for (but was at the wrong price)

Laminate flooring? That cuts with a utility knife.

Great Deal .. If you can find them.. $99.00 then $79.00 and now $49.47.. Do look all over the stores .. especially the End Caps for Clearance.. always look up and down on their shelves.. Lowes have a knack for putting stock Anywhere..!
