Jayking91 Posted December 20, 2014 Report Posted December 20, 2014 Has anyone ever used this saw, if so I would like some input if this saw is good or bad. I do hardwood and laminate flooring, mostly hardwood. But if the saw is good it would speed up my time. Any input is greatly appreciated. Skil 3601-RT 7
chadlanthier Posted December 21, 2014 Report Posted December 21, 2014 Never used but anything that speeds up your work has to be good.
Duns221 Posted December 21, 2014 Report Posted December 21, 2014 i have never even heard of that thing, but it looks really cool
ChrisK Posted December 21, 2014 Report Posted December 21, 2014 They sell something like that at my local Lowes but I've never used it...sorry. I imagine it's just a very specialized cross cut sled and as I recall it want too expensive. I would add, if your doing flooring, you could just use a circular and a guide to do the same thing. Maybe spend more tim king up your cuts but a simple jig could be made to do the same thing.
RickyMcGrath Posted December 21, 2014 Report Posted December 21, 2014 I have one... They're great for cross cuts. But don't try to switch it over to rips, takes way too long. Dust collection works well with a powerful shop vac.

I could have the saw right in front of me instead of having to go outside or the garage. Thanks

Thanks
Jayking91 Posted December 23, 2014 Author Report Posted December 23, 2014 Well I bought it. Tried it at my house it seemed to work pretty good. Test one will be on Monday 400sqft of hardwood.
