Each brand can be different concerning the positive bevel stops and miter stops. The manual should have instructions on how to correct that. Have you looked at the manual? A brand and model number would kinda help other have a clue which one of the hundreds of saws you are referring to. :) -- Backer boards, stop blocks, build oversized, and never buy a hand plane-- |

Hey GMman: Rance is correct. It would help if you could Post those Details. I’ll look around and see what I can find. I enjoy doing that kind of stuff. Regards: Rick -- LIFE is what happens when you're planning on doing Other Things! |

Most of the saws I have used have different ways to align them. Or the hardwear that helps align them are in different places. So you might want to consult the book if you have it. -- thatwoodworkingguy.com ~Eagle America~ ~Woodcraft~ |

I have 2 more saws a 10 “slide and a 8” both were very easy to set and are right on 45 and 90. |

I would contact Canadian Tire Co. and see if they have a setup guide for that saw, or at least a customer service number so you can contact somebody. -- Methods are many,Principles are few.Methods change often,Principles never do. |

Are you saying the cut is not cutting an accurate 45 degree angle or are you saying the alignment of the laser is off? Most mitersaw lasers have a bit of parallax error because the laser can’t come right out the end of the blade. Some of the lasers are adjustable some aren’t. -- Galootish log blog, http://www.timberframe-tools.com |

NO the cut is accurate at 90 degree turn to 45 degree and it is no accutate and I am unable to lock it because it falls in the 45 notch. |

If 90 is accurate 45 ahould also be accurate. Sounds like a problem with the saw. Are you surprised, it’s mastercrap, I mean craft. -- If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail! |

I like Mastercraft never had problem with them and they are about the only one that have an over the counter warrantee. |

GMan, your right about the warranty and I agree that they make decent tools. My mastercraft stuff works well but it is just the minor things that really bug me. Overall I would recommend them. When they are on sale they are a good value. -- If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail! |
