Oshlun LG-M01 Miter and Portable Saw Laser Guide, Miter & Portable Saws , grey

This is a very handy add on. I was skeptical of its accuracy but thought to try it anyway. I just bought a DWS779 which was on a crazy HD sale, but I was torn not waiting and saving up for the fancier Dewalt with built in laser. Took a chance on both, it installed in less than 5 minutes and the first cuts were dead nuts accurate. I mean perfect. It’s a bit difficult to see in direct sunlight but once you get used to it, it is absolutely no issue. My new rig is very accurate and capable, thanks in part to this little device. Very impressed.

My miter-saw came from the factory with a built-in laser. Problem is, as you use the saw the laser tends to wander, until ultimately you can't rely on it, at all. This is a super solution to that problem. It mounts directly onto the arbor, on top of the blade (on the side) with the nut locking down on it. This gives you a very consistent, and very accurate platform. I am extremely pleased with the improvement in the accuracy of my saw. It even comes with the batteries included. This is such an easy fix, and works so well I cannot help but recommend it. I also feel that it's an extremely good value.

Lovely tool accessory! Makes cutting much more efficient. I had a fit issue though, was too loose on the arbor screw and had to turn a small bushing for it on my lathe. Bosch 8.5 inch miter saw,

First off, I had an older Irwin red laser for my saw that I have had for well over 15 years.. When the unit gave up the ghost I knew I wanted one in Green Laser as the red just washes out too easily in bright lighting. The other thing that is in contrast with the Irwin that died an the new Oshlun is accuracy of line projection.. My Irwin had approximately ~3/64" deviation from the blade kerf and the projected line.. The Oshlun.. This thing is dead bang with the same blade, kerf to Bright Green Line. Well done OSHLUN!!!

I’m quite happy with this accessory. It was easy to put on and doesn’t get in the way of anything. I put it on my 10in Bosch glide saw. I didn’t have high expectations for this but it is extremely accurate. I never take the saw out of my shop but I could maybe see on a job site or having it outside, that the laser might be hard to see. I haven’t tested this but in my shop, I have no problems at all seeing it. I didn’t want to go through the hassle of putting on a shadow line accessory and this seemed like a good value. I thought maybe it was going to be too large but like I said, it fits very well and doesn’t get in the way of anything. It’s been going strong for 6 months now and I’ve had no issues. Again, I haven’t tested this theory but I think it’s design will allow it to be used on just about any miter saw.

Great product. This laser guide is more accurate than the OEM shadow guide with my 18V HP Ryobi miter saw

I bought two of these to add to a Ryobi TS1343L 10 Inch Miter Saw, so that I can have a laser guide line on both sides of the blade. There is a company who sells dual laser guides, but they do not list this saw as compatible, and I read reviews for the Oshlun brand in which an Oshlun company representative is quoted as saying theirs are brighter than other brands. Since the one Ryobi uses is all but invisible in bright daylight, I was hoping to improve the situation. The first thing I did was remove the saw blade, and mount one of these Oshluns next to the OEM Ryobi laser guide, and run the saw. The lines are identically bright. I do not see any more brightness from the Oshlun at all. There is one thing the Oshlun LG-M01 has going for it that the Ryobi laser guide cannot do. The Oshlun model will work no matter which way you mount it on the arbor. The Ryobi model that came on the saw MUST be mounted with the label side out, or the laser doesn't come on when it spins. Because I wanted to use dual guides, I need to have one replace the inner blade washer, and so must be mounted in reverse to keep the laser close to the inside of the blade. Note the round hole on the face of the Oshlun in the picture shown in this review. Ryobi uses a "D" shaped hole all the way through the guide. The back side of the Oshlun has a similar modified hole which is about 7/16" by 1/2" rectangle with rounded corners, to allow it to slide onto the flats on a typical 5/8" arbor shaft. It is their intention this guide be mounted right under the head of the blade bolt, so the smaller round hole on the face of the device works fine if used singly as intended. But to make it slide to the inside of the blade, I had to machine the round hole you see in the picture to match the contour of the rectangular hole on the back side. Once I did that, it slid into place nicely, with the label side toward the motor, placing the laser along the inner blade edge. I then mounted the blade and the Ryobi laser guide, and was able to use the OEM bolt, with plenty of threads screwing into the shaft. It works very well, showing a line on either side of the blade now when the motor is started. There is a slight difference in the positioning of the Oshlun's line, such that after a straight cut is made in the stock, the inner laser line falls IN the kerf, up against the inside bottom edge. The Ryobi guide's line on the outside of the blade remains on top of the edge of the cut after it is made. I was able to correct most of this by adding a paper shim washer between the blade and the Oshlun guide, much as you would do to fine-adjust the width on a set of dado blades. Because this worked with the original Ryobi guide, I did not open the second Oshlun guide, and will keep it as a spare. I was hoping to see a lot brighter line from the Oshlun brand, to make it easier to work in the sun, but the brightness of the 2 lines is equal. It is fine for indoors, even in a brightly lit shop. But for bright sunlight the laser lines are only the tiniest bit visible if you look very hard to see them. Oddly, the Ryobi brand uses a pair of LR44 cells, and the Oshlun uses 3 of them. When I saw that I thought it might be brighter, but it is not.

I have used an Irwin red laser, with very similar construction, for 20 years on my Dewalt compound, sliding, miter saw. I was a little skeptical that the green laser would be significantly better than the red laser line I already had, but I decided to try this because the red line has always been hard to see. I am very pleasantly surprised. The green light (from laser) is PROFOUNDLY easier to see and it lines up PERFECTLY with the left side of my blade!! My old red one was a millimeter off to the left of the blade and always had to be compenstaed for. I am very happy that I decided to try this light by Oshlun. It's worth every penny.

I purchased the Oshlun LG-M02 laser guide for my AEG PS-305 DG 12" compound mitre saw. The existing laser guide on the saw had broken and was no longer available. The Oshlun laser guide works well on this saw, however I had to replace the existing counter-sunk M10 left hand thread arbor bolt with a non-countersunk bolt (30mm worked well). Based on my personal experience, I would recommend this device for the AEG saw if the original laser guide part fails.

O produto é muito robusto e cumpre o que promete. Muito preciso na indicação da trilha de corte. Apenas aconselho a verificarem a compatibilidade com a sua esquadrejadeira, no meu caso, uma Stanley SM-18, tive que fazer pequeno (0,5mm) ajuste na arruela do disco, para que o laser desse o aperto necessário ao disco. No mais, funcionou com muita precisão.

Mi sierra ingletadora no cuenta con un laser y este fue una excelente alternativa, es muy facil de instalar y muy precisa. Solo bastan unos cortes previos para adaptarse y comenzar a usar la herramienta. El laser enciende solo hasta que el disco comienza a girar, pero se pueden dar peque;os pulsos para hacer el ajuste correspondiente y despues realizar el corte.

Utile mais très chère en plus il ne fonctionne pas tout le temps il a falu que je le modifie pour l adapter

Works way better than i thought. It makes a nice line exactly where it’s going to cut. Just slightly off to the side. On the left. But seriously, it’s way better than i thought. I love it. It’s actually useful. Great device. Works good on the bosch glide saw.
