I have had this exact same Ryobi mitre saw for about 3 years and after watching your tutorial I finally have my mitre saw aligned correctly. Thank You so much.

My blade was warped! Would have never realized that was possible. Thank you!

An easy sub. Glad I found your channel and thank you very much for your content. Authentic and great videos. You solved a problem of squaring a miter I couldn’t find anywhere else.

Awesome video!! Very comprehensive and just the info I needed. Thanks a bunch!

thanks so much for making this procedure clear and much simpler than I've seen so far!

Great video, perfect camera angles, super helpful. Thank you for being straight forward and precise with your explanations sir

Hey there! THANK YOU for this video! In a world of DeWalts, & Makitas it's awesome to see someone post a video using a Ryobi. My saw was square coming out of the box Christmas 2021. But if I need to know how to tune it up I've got you to thank for it. Great info! Great content and not a bunch of unnecessary chatter. If you're ever in the St. Louis area, I'm buying you dinner and drinks. Thanks for taking the time to make this video. - Louis

Amazing video. You are so clear and concise and it is a pleasure to listen to you.

Thank you so much for this information! Your clear and practical instructions saved me buying a whole new saw. I followed your advice and with my saw recalibrated, I built a pergola that went together effortlessly. Thank you!

THANK YOU!!! I needed this exact video, I was getting sooo frustrated lol, definitely subbing!!

Thanks so much for this video. Thank you for being clear and detailed. This is exactly what I needed

Holy crap, thanks for making this! I have this same model and I didn't use it for quite a while and when I was last using it regularly, it was just to trim up some stock and nothing that needed to be terribly precise. I got it out about two weeks ago to start a project and was getting terrible cuts in both dimensions so each corner of the 2x4 was a different length. Hard to butt joint with that. Followed all the steps in your video thinking it was in need of a tune up but none of it solved it as it was only slightly off. It wasn't until you mentioned blade warping that I found my issue! Not sure how long I would have assumed it was the tool before thinking of checking that. Getting perfect cuts now, thank you so much!

Extremely helpful tutorial. Everything clearly explained and shown with unobstructed views. Many thanks.

BEST miter saw adjustment video on youtube, very easy to understand, my saw has gotten a little out of whack over the years and this will help tremendously! thanks for posting

Fantastic and comprehensive. THANK YOU for the great alignment tutorial👍👍👍

Extremely helpful. My ryobi sliding compound mitre saw was off 90 and it was noticeable even on 3” cross cuts. Now it’s dead on accurate. Thanks!

THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME.....GREATLY APPRECIATED.....HOPE ALL IS GOOD WITH YA!

Thanks so much!!!!! I tried several KZfaq videos on how to fix this 3 weeks ago and it was a total fail. Today thought I’d try again…. It worked…..THANKS SO MUCH, now on with the home renovation !

Very straight forward and easy to understand. Great tutorial. Thank you.

Great instructions and video angles. I've been putting off doing this but couldn't tell where the 2nd set of screws were--under the sliding fence just like you said! It took me a little while to get it just right but I can finally make a square cut. Thanks man.

You went STRAIGHT into it! Thank you.

Thank you so much! My saw has been off for a few weeks. Not anymore. Well done sir!

Thanks for taking the time to make this video

Thanks for the detailed explanation, now I finally can fix my miter saw, I was about to return it but will give a shot to fix it 🙂. Thanks again.

Terrific explanation and visuals. Thank you very much from England!

Thanks thanks thanks mate. I had my miter saw nearly 5 years but i couldn't do a perfect cut until i see your video. Its great helpful and clear instruction. Thank you so so much. Xxxxx

Really helpful video, easy to follow. Thank you, much appreciated.

I have a new mitre saw (my first) waiting in my shed for warmer weather. This video should help this “newbie”. Cheers!

This video was beyond helpful. New subscriber and I liked the video. Thank you so much.

Great video brother! I appreciate the help getting my saw squared up!

Excellent tutorial. Just bought a sliding mitre saw, and as it comes with only one clamp, I was searching for another one, without any luck. now I know I can use the clamps I already have in order to clamp both sides. TY. I will check out all the other angles to ensure they are straight.

Great video! I never thought to check the fence on my saw and sure enough, it was off by just a little bit.

Thank you, this video is exactly what I was looking for - solved my problem!

Thank you for the tutorial, I’m new to wood working and can’t make reliable 45 degree cuts. I’ll use this to give it a checkup. 😁

Great video my man! Thank you for your time and sharing your knowledge.

Excellent job creating this video, clear explanations & nailing the views you were explaining. Your very knowledgeable & I have become a subscriber. Thanx! 👍👍

I know this is an old video, but thanks just the same. Perfect instructions and real life examples.

Thank you! Finally a video that is straight to the point and clear on what you’re doing.

Thanks a Bunch for this! I've been fighting a saw that wouldn't cut a straight line and I was adjusting the stops (Pitch of the saw) Never even thought about the fence being out of square. Now it is cutting straight! Thanks again!

Thanks for the great tutorial! My "new to me" miter saw was cutting a bit crooked while making a short table for my mini fridge. The bevel setting was little off, maybe from transporting it. I didn't realize there was an adjustment there!

Man, this was super helpful! Thank you so much

Thank you sir! Exactly what I was looking for.

Awesome, just what I was looking for. Thanks mate.

Thanks for making this. I learned a lot.

Good video helped set my miter saw wasn't cutting straight now fine 👍

Great job clear direct info keep help people like me.

Very helpful video. Thanks!

Great video, thanks for the information!

Damn what an absolute excellent video. Subscribed.

Your explanation for this was awesome I didn’t realize the fence was adjustable like that. I thought my new 18v ryobi miter saw was bent from shipping or something 🤣

TYSM!! This helped me a bunch.

This really helped me. Thanks.

10/10 video. Thank you, sir.

Instant subscribe 😁 Great video. Thanks a lot.

GREAT EXPLANATION BROTHER

This just helped me more than you know! I thought I might’ve ruined my saw but was so relieved to learn it just needed adjustment! Thanks for being clear & straight to the point!

Very helpful! Thank you!

Thank you. The darned problem was the fence. I checked everything else. Okay. All fixed.

Thank you, mitre saw fixed 👍

Very useful, thank you.

On to it mate, thanks!

Great video! Thanks!!

Thank you help immensely

Good job.

My saw fell while attached to a cheap saw table (harbor freight) it never cut straight again. I will try all of these to see if if I can fix the problem. Thank you 😊

I have Chicago Electric saw and small wood cuts weren’t cutting straight. Did all the tips, all were 100%. Then took a level and saw it wasn’t truly level. Flipped the machine upside down and noticed one of the rubber bottom pieces were missing- removed all 3 and now we’re totally level.

Thanks, this helped me

Watched a couple videos and both gave good coverage of what to do if the fence is not square. What do you do if the combination square says the blade is out of square? Is there a blade adjustment?

Great idea thanks

Didn't think about the blade being warped. Got me a harbor freight miter saw I'm gonna adjust. Somewhere my cuts are off because my diagonals on the stand I built are about a quarter inch off. I'm thinking my bevel was slightly off. Thanks

Bought this bran new and its cutting the green plastic below the blade and I was going to throw it out until I watched this so ty for putting this out there I will try this tomorrow and maybe it won't get thrown out lol.

Awesome! Thanks!

gracias muito obrigado thank you very much 😊 🙏helping me alot 😊

You're a great teacher. Very informative 😊

Great. Have a Ryobi r18ms26 who needs calibration. Superthanks.

Thank you

Nice video demo. My fence is off about 1/16" in the center like an arc..(i.e. center of left and right adjustment screws. throwing my cuts off. adjusting left and right side does nothing. Should I toss it? or is there a fix? (i can fix it with shims) but its annoying!😁

Thank You

Thank you sooooooooooo much!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you 👍

Thanks!

thank you

Brand new saw exactly as yours. Everything is square but can't cut straight. I might have to adjust the rails from the right angle to get it cutting straight. Also, missing hex wrench. Damn Ryobi!

Thanks.

Great video! What do you do if the notches for the angle adjustments are wrong? I was cutting some baseboards and the 45 angles are not accurate. They're like a degree off every time!

Great tips!! But what if when you're sliding the blade back and forth is when your cuts become uneven??

Merci pour cette vidéo !

Hi there! I was wondering if by any chance you would be able to help me with my situation. I’ve got this sliding mitre saw which is aligned in every possible way but one which I really can’t find a logic or a reason. Bevel, fence, blade and table are perfectly square, the blade is new… yet if I slide the saw to the far end while holding the speed square flush, the blade just goes slightly away from the speed square. At first I thought it is something to do with the fence adjustment but I kept fiddling with it with no success. Any idea? I’d really appreciate if you could help. Cheers!

I have a Ryobi 10 Inch Mitre Saw and the bevel cut will not go to 0⁰ i can try and force it from 2⁰-0⁰ but once i start cutting the lock cant hold it, and the pressure pulls it back to 2⁰. From what i can tell without taking it apart. Theirs nothing jammed in the mechanism.

Do you have any issues when using the sliding feature? I have this saw and everything is setup square but if I slide at all the cut isn't even remotely close to square

How do you adjust if the blade is not perfectly 90 degree perpendicular to the surface to put cut material on?

My new dewalt miter saw has two bevel guides (left and right side) if one is zero, the other is 1. Is that to account for blade width?

vertical cut adjustment at rear.? 90 DEG

Don't forget to make sure your square is square. Cut larger wood for accurate test pieces. Make sure your blade is flat. Try different tests and be creative. there are many more tips I'm sure. When. You think it's all good, horizontal and vertical, build something like a picture frame or a box or a 4 piece square from straight 2x4' and see if it's up to your liking before you think you made the adjustments right. Also mark your test cuts. I like 4x4 posts for vertical blade calibration and large squares of plywood to use the 5 cut method (look up on ytube) for the fence. I've taken 2 days to get get a miter saw dead on. It's no fun. Sometimes your equipment simple cant get accurate because of design and critical part issues. Luke set screws that have a Ruger I. Them that wears down and makes everything all wonkeyjawed. Most squares suck.test them too!

Nooice!

I have a brand new Ryobi compound miter saw that has a problem not mentioned here at all. The slider arm appears not to be squared with the table. the fence is square to the table, but if you lower the blade at the rear, it is pretty well centered in the groove, but if you bring the blade forward on the slide rails it come close to one of the sides of the groove. Any pointers on getting this fixed? it's only about 1/2 a degree off, but if you need something really square it's horrible.
