Had mine 6 yrs and loving it. The light is more than a light. It shadows the blade to show where the cut will be. That is one of the best features. The locks on the stand are what makes that saw able to be transported while on the stand. A feature not found on most stands.
Thanks for watching and your comment. Yes the shadow guide cut indicator is awesome and foolproof. We like it more each time we use it. The stand is the nicest we’ve seen. Thanks again and have a great day!
Nice to see someone else in the industry discovered the BIC 1.3mm lead pencils for wood working. I've turned so many people onto those. Best pencils for carpentry imo
Great job you’re the first one to explain where those pins went. 😊 I’m going to wait for a coupon on the Hercules stand, which are currently $199. The store associate said the coupon normally is $149 or so. PS I love the shadow light system. In my opinion it is better than a laser which can get out of alignment.
Awesome thank you for watching and your comment. We agree the shadow system is great and can never go out of adjustment. Thanks again, be safe and have a great day!
Thank you for watching and commenting! We are glad you liked it and hope you enjoy your new saw and stand as much as we have ours! Have a great day and be safe!
Thanks for watching and your comment! Yes that shadow line is pretty awesome. We actually made a couple of upgrades to our dust collection system and are working on a video of that now. Thanks again, appreciate you! Have a great day and be safe ❤️
I just got one and really like it. I also have the Chicago Electric sliding miter that I bought for $80 years ago. I like both of them, but the Hercules can do more plus it has no slack.
Thank you for posting this video. It was very helpful. The rubber pad feet underneath the mitre saw, did you leave those on? Or, did you have to removed them? Thank you again for posting your videos.
Thanks for watching and your comment. I left the rubber feet on but it says to remove them. I don’t see why it would make a difference so YMMV. Have a great day and be safe!
by the god!? I love your shop! All the space! Look at all that space!! It's like heaven! I'm in a dinky 2 car 500sqft gargage and I envious, LoL!! Great review though, I'm looking to pick one up soon and wanted to find someone with a review on RUclips so thank you ^_^
Thank you for watching and for your comments! That saw is still working great and we love it! Yes, our shop is bigger than our house. That’s the main reason we built a barn home. We didn’t need or want a large house but we needed shop space and wanted everything under one roof. Have a great day, appreciate you, and be safe ❤️
Shoot, my dinky shop is in my Basement,lol. It does what I need it to though. I mostly do small stuff and Cigar Box Guitars...and I'm not very good at either,lol
Thanks for a straightforward real world review! I mostly build Cigar Box Guitars and this will help. I had to laugh when she called it a Cadillac compared to the old one...he'll, your old one was a Ferrari compared to my current POS Homecraft Saw, lol. I subscribed because I thoroughly enjoyed you Video. I would like to see a Video on the Hercules Table Saw you have as I'm considering one of those as well
Thank you for watching, subscribing, and your comment. Cigar Box Guitars how totally cool!!!! We definitely need to do the table saw video, now that you have requested it we will get on it. We do really like it also. Thanks again and have a great day!
FYI Your rollers are on the wrong ends (it can't be used in the mobile mode) and if you move the saw further back on the mounts you'll get better use out the roller supports. Also, the reason you're suppose to remove the rubber feet first is because they cause torsional torque (and uneven seating) on the base frame when the mounting bolts are tightened. It's a very nice setup though - I love mine.
Thanks for watching and your comments! Appreciate the information, we are all better together because people are willing to share and that is awesome! Have a great day and be safe! ❤️
Thank you so much for watching and your comment! 😁 We had an insulated barn built and are turning one end into a barndominium. We are doing all the interior siding and cabinetry ourselves. We are using lumber from our property as much as possible. We have several videos of the process and are still working on more. If you would want to subscribe we appreciate you joining in on the journey! ❤️
The song stand is the absolute best on the market in my opinion I bought the Cobalt and within 2 hours of me assembling it and hooking my chop saw to it I took it back plus you can take that same stand and modify it so that you can have your table saw on it your Hercules table saw which I have a Hercules table saw on the Hercules miter saw stand and it works phenomenal because that stand is the best miter saw stand on the market love the video I wish I would have bought the Hercules chop saw when I bought the admiral chop saw but the admiral sliding compound miter saw is really good thanks for the video buddy keep them coming
@@CopperBarnHomestead just an FYI if you take off the feet on your miter saw it will make it flat and level which I know you figured that out but also if you can get that same stand for your Hercules table saw it works really great if you turn the saw sideways on the sand and you do have to cut off about 10 in on the legs which is easy real easy you cut the bottom end off you put the feet back on to it with the rivet gun no problem depending on your height a shorter person might want to go 11 in might want to go a little more I took off 10 in on mine and my top of my table saw is 37 and a half inches high I'm also 62 perfect for me my wife says I should have taken off 11 in if you run across that issue go with whichever one you need to I'm glad somebody besides me is buying a harbor freight tools versus the way overpriced oh my God price tools to make a living off of them keep up the garden work I appreciate everything you do and be safe out there brother don't get hurt doing nothing
Yes, that is exactly how it works! We like it more each time we use it! It’s not as precise as some line cutting indicators but it’s awesome at this price point! Thank you for watching and for your comment! Have an awesome day and stay safe!!! ❤️
Thanks for watching and your comment! We didn’t really talk about it in the video but we did adjust the guard, several times. The metal arms that are weak and bent and will not stay in position after adjusting it. The new saw is still working awesomely and we are very happy with the quality, features, and function of it. Appreciate you and your comment! Have a good one and be safe!

Your dreams are answered - both the saw and the stand are on sale (ITC for the stand I think). Just picked them up today :)
@@themessygarage good for you. I picked them up about a month ago when they were on sale. I haven’t had a chance to use them yet.
Thanks for a thorough review - just got both the saw and the stand!
Thank you for watching and commenting! We are glad you liked it and hope you enjoy your new saw and stand as much as we have ours! Have a great day and be safe!
I’ve had mine for over a year now. Love it.
It’s an awesome saw!!! We love it too! Thanks for watching and for your comment! Have a great day! Stay safe ♥️
Using mine for about a month now. Love how it cast a shadow of the blade where you want to cut. Do you have a video on the dust collector?

@@noahsturgill20 thank you Brother! Appreciate you and your awesome comments!
I would imagine the precision light does a shadow from the blade onto the board being that the light was on both sides of the blade🤷
Yes, that is exactly how it works! We like it more each time we use it! It’s not as precise as some line cutting indicators but it’s awesome at this price point! Thank you for watching and for your comment! Have an awesome day and stay safe!!! ❤️
You got to clean the shop it's a mess.
Yes it’s better now but that probably wasn’t the worst it ever was either…..😂😂😂
