Of course as involved as everyone is on this forum, I'm sure y'all have seen it already.

Intresting perspective of the HD issues/limits/problems/??????????

O.R.,

I also saw that review. Interesting concept for all circular saws. It sounds like this one may be more robust that earlier efforts. I was wondering if anyone had any first hand experiance with this product.

Wow, laser sites for my Ridgid "Magnum" RAS!
Just call me "Dirty Wood Dog Harry". :D

Good find O.R.!

Yes I wrote that review. Some interesting information is that BladePoint will be making a new model due out this summer with improved optics. We have had the BladePoint on our saws for several months and they are still great! Had the Opertunity to Look over Craftsman's Knock off of this tool. It is not as clear or brite as Bladepoints and apears to have some issues with Bladepoints Patent. More on this in the future.

Lance,

Thanks for the offer. I'm sure these guys would welcome reviews on any and all products not recently reviewed.

BTW, I enjoy your website and appreciate your objectivity. Unfortunately, I can't say that about every reviewer and every source. I can "relate" to what you say and your point of view.

Thanks again,
Wood Dog
