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

This is a fantastic, portable multi-purpose saw table. While it's obviously not a real table saw with a circular blade and doesn't have the advantages and total accuracy of a true table saw, it is far safer and infinitely more portable.Despite some complaints from other users, I have found it quite easy to make straight, accurate cuts. The fence and mitre both work well when properly set and used. I wrapped my mitre slide with a little bit of masking tape to reduce slop, and find it best to clamp the workpiece to the mitre to further reduce chatter and slop. When utilizing proper technique and quality blades--I recommend Festool brand--tear-out is non-existent and I get highly accurate cuts.I was able to reduce a 5/8"x5.5"x6' cedar fence board into a birdhouse in about 5 minutes of total cut time--made a great gift for my mother! I haven't given it much of a run as a scroll/jig saw, but I did a couple of free-hand curved cuts just for kicks and was able to get pretty decent results. I have also experimented with cutting a nominal pine 2"x4" (actual about 1.5"x3.5") and had no problems making the cut with a little patience. I haven't had the opportunity nor the need to try cutting metal, tile, or laminate but with quality blades I'm sure those would cut just fine.Tighten everything down (clamp to bench or other surface, tighten arm and blade guard fully) and let the saw do the work (don't rush it or push too hard) and you should find this a very versatile and functional tool.I would further suggest "whiting-out" (or "whatever-other-coloring-out") the tabletop ruler and guidelines by spreading some acrylic paint over the plastic surface tabletop with a sponge brush or paper towel (remove the red plastic insert near the blade first to avoid any chance of affecting the color of that piece of plastic) and wiping away the excess paint with a damp cloth or paper towel. The resulting effect will be clearly demarcated lines and increments that may help you achieve more accurate cuts. I did the same with the miter gauge, and it made it much easier to make accurate cuts without straining to see the markings.

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.

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.

Compact, lightweight, and very handy. Blades can be stored in a tray on the machine. It will use most t style jigsaw blades. I have found that some styles are too long for the saw guard. It cuts wood and acrylic material very well. After opera8 the saw for a couple of months I have been very well satisfied with the quality and value of the saw. Makes clean cuts based on blade selection and patience accurate detail cuts can be made easily. The rip fence will assist with accuracy in straight cuts.
