Review on 12-Inch CRAFTSMAN Mitre Saw & Clamping Box - CMHT20600 by Tony Addis

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Spend more, thank me later

Bought this April 9th. Wanted to give it some time of use before reviewing. It is now August 5th and I have 3 thoughts on this: 1) It is cheap to buy, but for a reason. 2) For just a little bit more money Craftsman could have put out a better product. 3) The old Stanley one I had years ago had a MUCH sharper saw than this one! My #1 biggest complaint is the saw blade itself. It was almost as dull as a old used one even though it was brand new. Takes forever to saw though door frame trim. Now on shoe molding & "quarter round" it does ok. Baseboards.get ready for a workout! My old Stanley from the mid 90's would fly through stuff. I am now going to throw this saw away and spend more on a better saw.

Pros
  • Does the job for the price.
Cons
  • For craftsman don’t waste your money I have made my own miter boxes they where much better than this one
