1st Customer Review : Best saw I've ever owned.
You can spend a lot of money on a miter saw. But in my opinion, a lot of what you're paying for with those more expensive ones, is gimmicks. Other saws have micro-fine adjustment knobs, which is just plain dumb engineering but brilliant marketing. The slop in the hinge on any saw, the wobble in the blade, the wear on the teeth, and especially your tape measure will completely negate the accuracy that those other saws pretend to achieve. By contrast, skil's compound saws are all business. They don't pretend to be made for NASA, and after all, this wood we're cutting, not titanium alloy. It's smooth, reliable, well made with a thick aluminum base, solid components, and it's not an ounce more complex than a woodworking tool SHOULD be. I highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend this terrific tool. Don't waste money on more expensive saws, and instead get yourself a good quality blade! You'll be very happy you did.

2nd Customer Review : Skil model 3820 mitre saw
I did a lot of searching on the internet and finally came back to Skil for a very good price/performance power tool product. I was able to get the miter saw going after only about 30 mins of setup, and a check of all key measurements indicated that no adjustments were needed. I did some preliminary miter cuts to test the saw and everything works great. And the laser is a great advantage, at least for a novice hobbiest like me. For the money this is a great saw. I am happy I went with Skil and chose a 12 " over the 10" saw size. I am now using this saw to cut 4" dia. pine branches for .5" thick slices that can be used for drink coasters. This is a very versatile tool. I will also be making 45 degree miter cuts for picture framing. The saw cuts true in all tests I have done.
3rd Customer Review : A lot of saw for the money, but you still get what you pay for
I picked this up as a factory refurb complete and sealed in the box for $150. Taking the saw out of the box I thought it was a steal at that price. Very solid construction and seemed to be on par with some of the higher-end makes, with lots of features. After using it for a couple weeks I realized I'd made a mistake and got what I paid for.
The deal breaker for me was the alignment. I didn't test the alignment right out of the box and found out when trying to match up two 45-degee pieces of cut wood. The saw was off by 2-3 degrees. Per the instruction manual (as with other brands) the solution was to adjust the fence by loosening its bolts. Unfortunately for me there was just not enough play to compensate for the 2+ degrees. I could get it down to just a little more than 1 degree, but that was it. I can't believe it would be this far out of whack from the factory, so I suppose it could have been dropped. However, it was "factory refurbished" with an authentication...
