It fit perfectly on my miter saw and the alignment was easy to adjust to ensure that the laser line was accurate with my saw blade. Once installed, the laser guide provided a clear, bright line that helped me visualize exactly where my cuts would land, resulting in precise and clean cuts every time.I particularly appreciate the portability of this laser guide. It is compact and lightweight, making it easy to transport and use on different job sites or workstations.

My miter saw is one of my favorite saws. It is so versatile. One thing that I don’t like about it though is it doesn’t have an LED light like some of the newer models do. I tried to find one that works with my saw but there are none. I was watching a woodworking video and the guy doing the video had one of these. So , I decided to buy one.When I received the package it included the laser guide and three small watch type batteries. When I opened the back of the guide to install the batteries I was pleasantly surprised that batteries were already installed. So the three batteries are extra batteries. That was a nice touch by the manufacturer.Connect to my saw was very simple. As the blade sounds the laser guide automatically turns on and emits a laser that creates a line on what you are cutting. The cut line matched up perfectly with the laser. One thing I knew ahead of time but not everyone might know before using one of these laser guides is that the saw blade needs to be spinning in order for the guide to work. An LED light always shines and casts a shadow line on the object you are cutting whether the blade is spinning or not. But for this laser guide you need to engage the blade and have it spinning in order for the laser to create a cut line. You can keep the blade high enough and safely out of the way of any adjustments you may need to make to your piece being cut. I usually spin, stop the blade, adjust, spin the blade again and repeat the process if necessary until its is exactly where yo want it to be. I know my saw well enough that I usually put the piece of wood down in the right spot or close to it most of the time and just need to spin the blade once to make some minor adjustments.I don’t have the money yet to buy a fancier saw with an LED light so until that happens I’m gong to keep using this laser guide as it works well.

Many times on my old (30yrs) Dewalt DW-705 Miter saw I had wished there there was a laser to pinpoint the exact cut line, like most modern miter saws have. I've seen the 𝐎𝐬𝐡𝐥𝐮𝐧 𝐋𝐆-𝐌𝟎𝟏 𝐌𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐏𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐒𝐚𝐰 𝐋𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐫 𝐆𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐞 on Amazon for a long time and finally decided to try it on my DW-705. In past reviews I've read some comments about the laser housing being too thick and rubbing against the blade guard housing. Ohslun mentioned that this newer model was thinner and fit more saws so I thought I'd give it a try. Installation was as simple as removing the orginal spacer and replacing it with the 𝐎𝐬𝐡𝐥𝐮𝐧 𝐋𝐆-𝐌𝟎𝟏 𝐌𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐏𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐒𝐚𝐰 𝐋𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐫 𝐆𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐞. I tightened down the blade retaining bolt and fired up the saw. My first reaction was well, the laser works, looks accurate but it was making a heck of a noise and seemed to be vibrating a little. I stopped and unpluged the saw and removed the laser guide. On close inspection of the laser guide I could see that something was rubbing against it (flub). I completely removed the blade guard to see what the situation was by removing the 3 T30 torx screws holding the blade guard assembly to the saw. What I discovered was that the laser guide was rubbing in one little area of the blade guard housing. Now that the laser guide had scrape marks on it I couldn't return it so I started thinking about a fix to see if I could add some clearance between the 𝐎𝐬𝐡𝐥𝐮𝐧 𝐋𝐆-𝐌𝟎𝟏 𝐌𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐏𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐒𝐚𝐰 𝐋𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐫 𝐆𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐞 and the blade guard housing. The fix was easier than I figured it would be. One little flat washer mounted at the front and the rear blade guard mounting screws in such a way as to add 𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕 enough clearance between the blade guard and the 𝐎𝐬𝐡𝐥𝐮𝐧 𝐋𝐆-𝐌𝟎𝟏 𝐌𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐏𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐒𝐚𝐰 𝐋𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐫 𝐆𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐞 so that there was no more rubbing between the two surfaces. I Fired up the saw again and this time everything was nice and smooth with a clearly visible red line at the point of the cut. (I purposely positioned the laser line 𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕 a bit off the pencil line to show everything is square). Lastly, I also discovered that a "thin kerf" blade may need no modification at all as I noticed more clearance between the 𝐎𝐬𝐡𝐥𝐮𝐧 𝐋𝐆-𝐌𝟎𝟏 𝐌𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐏𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐒𝐚𝐰 𝐋𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐫 𝐆𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐞 and the blade guard.

I've been using it for a while on my old radial saw. I cannot imagine not having it. It is so dead-on accurate I can cut a piece of MDF that is wider than my blade travel by simply making one cut and then flipping the piece over and lining up the edge for a second cut in the opposite direction of travel. It is bright enough for the majoritiy of my cuts - but if it were a bit brighter I'd give it six stars!NOTES:Based on the one I'm using, reviews describing it as "out of balance" seem nonsensical.It's ready to go out of the package. The included batteries are spares.I used a short piece of stiff wire (brazing rod) to line up the laser hole between two teeth on my blade and it worked perfectly on the first try.
