21206 12-in. Sliding Compound-Miter Saw Review
The Craftsman is relatively quiet and powerful, and it has a large, easily readable miter scale
The Craftsman saw shares some features with the Bosch. It is relatively quiet and powerful, and it has a large, easily readable miter scale. It also has the same type of adjustable D-shaped handle as the Bosch, but it pivots to three positions rather than four (no vertical position). The quality of the stock blade is good, and the side-to-side play in the head is about average. The guard cannot be thumbed out of the way while your hand is on the trigger, and I found the sliding action to be a bit jerky. Still, in the end, this is a perfectly capable saw. The Craftsman doesn’t do anything exceptionally well, however, and it is priced in line with the others, giving it no real advantage.
