Reviewers are saying that this isn't a true dual bevel miter saw. Something about the fence on the saw stopping the saw at like 33 degrees rather than 48. So considering that it's kinda meh.

I bought one of these last year…the fence-part of it does get in the way on the right side…but it is easily removable with one knob and does not affect use. It's a bad ass saw. Got it as a package deal from HD with the collapsible wheeled cart. Very nice set up.

I got this saw in February and love it - it's absolutely a dual bevel saw. The top portion of the fence can be slid over or even removed if you need to increase the bevel angle on the right side. $299 is a solid price for this retail (it's often $350+) but it dips lower via DTO for factory blemished if you have the patience and can wait.

Fair enough. Good to know. Just was passing on what I had seen said about it.

If you don't need the bigger saw, you'll easily make up that price difference in cheaper 10" blades over the life of the saw

yea, but bosch suppose have better quality, i heard rigid had blade wobbling issue. which is hard for me to decide.

also rigid has led shadow, bosch has the glide mechanism that save space and better electric brake.

I am in the market for one and though I don't have any personal experience harbor freight has a few 10 and 12in sliding ones for a good price and with very good reviews. They have a 10in for 150 if you want cheaper and don't mind smaller. They also had a 12in on sale a week or two ago for 200 I think, no idea when/if it will back at that price though.

This Ridgid saw R4222 is a great tool and comes with a Lifetime Service Agreement (LSA) as long as you register it within 90 days of purchase. This is much better quality than Harbor Freight. I have it and the saw works well. I also have a 12 inch sliding Dewalt and this Ridgid saw is a lot easier to lift due to the second handle near the rear. This saw should last you forever with the LSA.

The Harbor freight Hercule one has a user rating of 4.9 vs 4.4 for the Ridgid one, with each over 2k reviews. I get that the Ridgid is nice but that's a bold statement to say it is much better quality. Also the cheapest sliding hf miter saw is half the price of the Ridgid one. There i believe you that it is not quite as good but as with most things there are diminishing returns and the 150 dollars one will fit more people's need than a 300 dollars, most likely. Long story short, I would not dismiss hf so quickly. Thanks for the info though, not trying to flame, just trying to stay objective.

I will dismiss hf so quickly. HF is more money and a lot less warranty. I do shop Harbor Freight, but not for power tools.

HF is good for tools that you are going to use infrequently - like ONCE in a while so you don't want to have a big investment in it, especially if it breaks. If you are going to cut things on your miter saw say once every five years, then sure go for HF.

I would also posit that the people leaving reviews on the HD website have substantially higher expectations for a tool than someone shopping at HF. I do both and I always accept what I am getting into at HF and do not have high expectations. If it doesn't break by the second time I use it I am pleasantly surprised. I am not trying to flame either, I am just saying that I think Ridgid will give you more value if you plan to use this tool somewhat regularly. And if it is an infrequent use then sure why tie up too much money on it. I spent like $600 over 20years ago on my Dewalt 12" slider and it still works well. It is great to now have two nice tools so I can set them up for two different cuts so I don't have to make as many cut changes during a project. A plus on the HF is that the risk of theft is somewhat lower! Good luck on the decision making process.
