I bought this last time the deal came around, and my saw arrived in a large box with no protection whatsoever. I was on a trip at the time and the box sat outside for a few days and got rained on. Even so, once I let the saw dry out for a couple of days I had a look and it was in very good condition, with only a couple of scratches on the aluminum table surface.

I looked up a couple of Youtube videos on how to calibrate a miter saw, bought a carpenter square on amazon for $8, and checked on the blade alignment. I found the miter 0 degree angle was perfect, but the bevel was a bit off. Thankfully they make both the miter angle and bevel angle easily adjusted, so after a few iterations of adjusting and checking I was able to get my saw nice and square.

Here's the video I ended up using to check the fence-to-blade alignment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aB-QJ1B6toY

Although it did take a bit of extra work to get the saw set up, I think it was an excellent deal and I've already used it to build the Ana White garage shelves and used the sliding feature to cut a 10" wide shelf to length for the laundry room. The LED blade shadow feature is really cool, and I found it to be accurate. I will say the dust extraction port is pretty much useless, so you may want to do your cutting outside to avoid getting sawdust everywhere, as it ejects a lot of dust at high speed. I haven't tried cutting any bevels or non-90 degree angles yet, so I don't yet know how accurate the detents are.
Was $78 last week. Almost all the reviews I could find were that it is poorly packaged when shipped leading to misaligned blades which is a no-go for me. If you have a store near you, its worth checking out in person but delivery is a problem with these "factory reconditioned" items. Note, this is not "factory blemished" which is almost always brand new.
Not a bad saw, got one last time and it was thrown into a box and shipped without any packing material.
It survived ok, guess it is a well built saw.

I'll post my experience since I was looking all over for reviews for this seller when I took the risk about a month ago.

As many have said this saw comes without any padding. Mine was fine and after calibration it works well.

Delivery took a very long time but I did eventually get all the tools I ordered and they all work. The saw took 3 weeks along with a compressor I got. The other tools took 4 weeks. This was part of the 30% off they had a while back so maybe it was slower than usual.

When I wrote to ask when they were shipping they did reply about 3 days later. All the tools came with a manual and a sample worth of consumables (2 strips of staples for the staple gun, one blade for the reciprocating saw)

There were only a few minor signs of these not being brand new. Some light scratches on the back of the saw cover for example.

I would order from them again if they have a really good sale and I don't need the tools for a month.

Hi all. I'm new to using something like this. Do you need to bolt this down to use safely?
No. Just put it on a steady surface like the floor or a strong table that won't wobble. You can also buy a stand, as they sell stands specifically for these saws.

I had bought one new at Home Depot. The slide stuck the last 1-2". Home Depot swapped it for a different one. This one was not square when using the slide. Didn't bother with a third. I will say my previous blueish Ryobi miter was rock solid, but it wouldn't easily mount to my miter stand and it lacked any modern features (like the laser cut line). I stuck through it and just got a nonsliding instead. Has worked our great so far. I rarely have a need for that extra length. I also subsequently got a table saw, so I think my days of needing a slider are probably mostly done.

I bought this and just arrived. It was packed fine and comes with a etched "Recon" near LED light switch. Works perfectly, and to get a sliding compound, miter saw for $100 (with tax and shipping) you really can't beat it.

you'd have to check alignment on ANY saw of this type

Mine came today. This is a more of a packaging or fed-ex problem but still annoying. It was placed on my patio with the box opened with the base of the saw facing up. Haven't test it yet but atleast tape the fam box up.

Tested mine today and it works great, despite my concern over the lack of packing materials. Yours should be fine too!

Ordered one a few weeks ago on another deal. Packaging was poor and the saw came damaged and unusable. The pin to lock the saw in place was stuck so I couldn't even open the saw to try to use it. Also, The front adjustable foot screw at completely bent and wouldn't adjust. Returned it for a refund and paid higher price at Home Depot on sale. Used it for several projects this past week and it works fantastic!

Did anyone received it with laser like LED cut line indicator? All I received is a regular white Led light. As per customer care they don't have any with LED cut line in stock and the website description is wrong.

How long did shipping take?

What does the manual say? I don't see laser in the title or description
