I do small woodworking projects and repairs around the house. It's fast and easy to use. For me, this is perfect. Have had no problems making cuts.
This is a handymans saw.I like the weight and the laser sight.It can take what I can throw at it.However, I am not using it in an industrial capacity.Nice.
the 1030l replaced the 1040 model.the obvious differences are a drop from 14 amps to 13 amps, if this was it then no problem. unfortunately it's not.the 1030l is a much lesser product that they have obviously reduced the cost of build (even though retailed at the same price).The first thing is they dont include the ripguard on the 1030l - FFS it's a 10c piece of metal, why would they not include this.The second thing is that the 1030l doesn't include the spin lock button - basically this prevents the blade from spinning when you change the blade (among other things).Anyway, like i said it's still priced about right but dissapointing they removed basic things like this.Dean
Can't emphasize the utility of the on board laser. Nice feature is that the laser is powered by the cord rather than batteries. This allows you to rip a 4X8 plywood board with ease. Makes this tool as easy to use as a jigsaw.
I have really enjoyed this saw, and it has worked perfect. Highly recommend it.
