Editor's Review: Testing 12-in. Sliding Compound-Miter Saws
by Kit Camp
review date: March 5, 2008
If I needed a saw to set up in my shop, I would buy the Ridgid in a heartbeat. Its fit and finish are second to none, and it’s a solid performer in nearly every area. For the price, the Ridgid is clearly the best value. But because I have to pack up my tools every day and load them into a tightly organized compact pickup, I have to rule it out as a first choice because of its bulky footprint and somewhat unreliable lock-down function.
