Tools and Hardware Reviews of Oshlun LG-M01 Miter and Portable Saw Laser Guide
Customer Review: Great tool!
Summary: 5 Stars
The summary: This is a great add-on for your miter saw!
The review:
After reading all of the reviews on different laser guides, I was a bit concerned about the accuracy of any of these devices. (A lot of reviews have complained about 1/8-1/4" inaccuracy. True, these are for different models, but I assume all models are all about the same.) But for [...] bucks, I figured it was worth the experiment. Also, I read on a few reviews that these things can be adjusted, so I figured I could always do that.
The guide arrived and I installed it, I was pleased to find that the laser line was *exactly* where the blade cut. This thing is spot on...no need for adjustment! It was easy to install, and fit my off-brand saw with no problems.
I only have two small issues (things of note, really):
1. In bright sunlight, it can be a bit hard to see the line. It is still adequately visible, but not a huge bring line like some reviews might sugget. I assume that all lasers will be about the same in this regard, however. I don't think that Oshlun's guide will be any dimmer than their competitors. Luckily, I live in Seattle where the majority of days are at least a little grey. In that weather this laser guide shines bright! (Also, it is possible that the batteries that shipped with the unit started to weaken in the package. Perhaps if I changed them with the extra set that came with the unit I would find the line brighter.)
2. One needs to activate the saw blade to see the line. Again, it is hard to fault Oshlun for this.....all add-on laser guides act in this manner. It would be very dangerous for them to put a switch on the unit, as that would mean that people were always reaching their hand near the blade to turn it on. And they can't make the laser stay on after the blade stops, because the saw blade needs to rotate in order to produce a line from a single point of light emission. But if you are buying this unit, you should know that this is how these devices work - oshlun and otherwise.
I didn't remove any stars for these things, because I feel that it is still a great product. I just wanted to note them for anyone else interested in purchasing this unit.
Overall though, I would say that this is a great unit. If you are looking for a laser add-on for your miter saw, go for it!
