Rockwell RK7323 BladeRunner X2 Portable Tabletop Saw with Steel Rip Fence, Miter Gauge & 7 Accessories

Love this! Can’t beat the price, weight, and ease of use. I did a DIY basement renovation and used this to cut laminate flooring. Couple of things... it’s cheap and does the job but, you have to guide the pieces your cutting precisely. The guides aren’t much use with cutting planks. So a lot is left to your hand to make straight. I drew lines on the wood to make sure I followed the right cut. But for the price and how much it saved me laying the floor myself, it was worth the effort and a couple messed up planks in the trash.It’s light so that was a problem sometimes as the whole unit would move as I was trying to cut something. So finding a way to secure it down helps you make more accurate cuts.It also allowed me to do custom cuts if I took the guard off it and just used it as and open blade. Though, that’s dangerous and not recommended in the manual so use caution.For cutting down long planks, it’s annoying when you get to the bracket that holds the blade in place but if your cut is straight the plank splits perfectly fine at that point since it’s not too wide and you can keep cutting all the way down the length of the piece.All in all, was perfect for my small job.

I just got my band saw but for small cut offs, notches, trims, quick cuts at the 5 in the morning shop activity and you don't want to wake the whole house, this is the ticket! I also have it on a swing down plywood base that frees up bench space when I don't need the saw. Simple blades and replacement action. Over blade adjustable stabilizer so cut off material doesn't rattle or bounce. Just for the hold down feature, this item is worth it! Dust collection is awesome. A standard shop vac hose end into the tubular anti-rattle mechanism vacuums any and all chips and dust. A great little machine that has so many practical uses.

First let me say that now that I realize what an idiot I was this is an awesome saw. I say I was an idiot because I couldn't get it do rip cuts for the life of me. I am putting down laminate flooring and couldn't get the thing to make even cuts down the length of a board no matter how I lined up the guide. I even used a tape measure and measured from the guide to the blade and from the guide to the back end mount that goes in-between the kerf. Here's where I went wrong and hopefully I can save you some trouble. I bought another brand of t-shank blades specifically made for laminate flooring. They cut great, but...they are too thin so the kerf won't line up with the back end that mounts to the platform, its beveled where the kerf is suppose to meet it so if you use the Rockwell blades the board slides right through. Bottom line, if you are buying a different brand of blades for rip cuts, compare them to the width/kerf of the Rockwell wood cutting blade that comes with the saw. Now, that aside, thinner blades won't be an issue for any other type of cuts. My only real complaint is that I wish the miter block was longer and had less play in it; since I am putting down quarter-round trim a millimeter or two of play isn't going to make a difference, but if you need serious precision this won't cut it...pun intended! The rubber feet are reasonable effective and you can fairly easily push a board through with one hand use the other to keep the saw from sliding backwards; that's on concrete, on flooring it slides easily. I don't think it is the manual but there is a bracket that folds down from underneath the front that you can use to latch onto a workbench so it can't slide backwards. Since I am using it on the floor, I can't use it. The vacuum port isn't a catch call for sure but it helps quite a bit, so every few boards or after a long rip cut you'll have to detach the shop vac and do a little clean up. Don't hesitate, its a sturdy saw even though the base is all plastic its very durable. I'm no contractor and don't have any plans for heavy duty projects, for flooring it is fantastic; no need to run back and forth between outside and the room you are working int, just plop it down on the floor with a shop vac go to town! I'd definitely buy it again for what I am using it for and can't imagine it won't hold up to other light or medium duty projects.

This jig saw is a workhorse. I seem to mostly have a lot of small projects, but was concern that it might not be tough enough. However, I just built a 24”x24” broom closet next to a pantry cabinets, and it performed very well. I use it on top of a Worx Pegasus work table, and it they are solidly paired well together. Considering the cost, performance, and ease to store, it’s a good purchase.

I received the item yesterday and did some trial rip cuts with my unwanted wood. None of them cut accurately at the line I draw with the pencil. I later clamped a piece of wood onto the blade and found that the blade is not strictly horizontal to the rip fence. There are four bolts at the bottom that can be loosen to adjust this. I don't know why it is not adjusted before it is out of the factory.On the other hand, the vertical fin at the back should be positioned slightly to the left. I made rip cuts and the wood is unable to go past the vertical fin. The cut line is slightly to the left of the vertical fin so I had to remove it before I can continue to cut. But removing that and the shoe means my shop vac is no longer hooked up to it.Overall, it is a new type of table saw that is different from the other circular table saws on the market. It has some design virtues. But the alignment of the blade and the vertical fin is disappointing. It is still usable, but I wish it could be improved.An earlier version of the blade runner puts the vertical fin in the corner instead of in the back, which I think is a much better design. Not sure why they moved the vertical fin to the back in the newer design.
