Hey all, as other mentioned, but I forgot to put in the video....you can lock the saw and use the push stick like a table saw

Dude... If you lock the saw on the track, setting the fence, you can actually use it as a table saw for those long rips. Try it out! Let us know. That might be why it includes a push stick.

You CAN do planks up to 8 feet long. You just lock the blade in place in the centre and use the rip guide and pusher to push the plank through in one fell swoop.

I just used this for 600sf of LVP. Overall great tool. I liked easily moving it room to room. Hooked it up to the M12 vac. Used an oscillating tool for vent cutouts over a 5 gallon bucket for enhanced dust collection. My boards were 9” wide so some of the rips took multiple passes with the limited rip capacity. Saw should also have a light or laser. I also used this to install baseboards. Cut the 45 and rough length with miter saw in the freezing garage. Did the coping in the room and used the Ryobi to do final cut to length. Saw is light so it was easy to move from corner to corner in the room.

Nice review. Odd size blades often difficult to find. Stay with 7.5 blades that are common everywhere. A 7.5 mitre saw does most everything, not too heavy. For ripping, get a Roybi wet tile saw, put 7.5 circular saw blade on it in dry mode and you have a nice table saw to rip those flooring planks. Hope this helps someone.

Thank you for the demo. I think this would be a saw worth considering for those small jobs.

A great tool. It looks like the saw would lock down, the saw could be turned on and locked for continuous running and you could feed a piece of flooring through it, using the push stick to rip it length wise for a shweet shweet full length cut. I have a big flooring job coming up in the fall and I’m going to get one of these bad boys as soon as they are available in Canada. Thanks for showing this.

I have been in flooring 30 years and I wish I would have thought of it. Most cuts on a laminate job are cross cut so this is a sweet tool. Hook up a vacuum and make your cuts inside the house. This is a major time saver and it is cordless to boot.

I've got a flooring job coming up where I will be installing laminate. I am definitely going to pick this up. Not having to drag out my miter saw and table saw to the job site will be that much better.

I like it especially the guard it makes dust extraction more efficient which is a major importance when cutting mdf or anything really if it means undoing 4 screws to change the blade then that's a good trade off this machine will save time especially doing flooring

It’s like a new take on a radial arm saw. Very portable. Gotta pick one up soon.

Great review, but not a Ryobi fan, so I purchased the Skil corded version, great saw and never have to worry about batteries. Thanks for your review.

I own probably 75 - 80 % of The Ryobi battery powered tool selection. I am pleased with the performance and durability of their tools. Being left handed , all of their tools are easy for me to use. This new tool may be on my list to get soon.

Once again, Ryobi does the AWESOME! Nice video, young man! And after reading the other comments (you know, about locking and long cuts with the push stick...) I can quite easily forgive you for forgetting to show it...after all, that's a pretty neat little saw! I doubt I'd go get one since I have my old table saw and regular chop saw but I can definitely see this little fun toy doing a MAJOR upset of that pesky little gnome! Keep em coming young man!!!👍👍👍

its real nicelike. I have done a large 30 foot by 14 foot great room and this would have been sweet to have. Gotta do a master bedroom next. The tiles have been laying in the great room gathering dust for a year. Maybe now is the time to buy. Also, the upstairs is looking like tile is in its future. that room is 14 foot by 16 foot roughly. Thanks for doing a video about this new tool. Enjoy your spring, from Michigan

Extremely useful video my friend....thanks so much for the demonstration of an excellent addition to the Ryobi tool line

Ryobi has been stepping their game up. Looks like a pretty good saw & especially for the price. I am also pretty sure Ryobi, Rigid & Milwaukee are all made in the same plant.

Hey Clint! You can lock the saw on fence and push board through blade like table saw much like the corded versions from Rigid, Skil and Ryobi…hence the push stick😬👌🏼

You'd love that blade guard if you hook the vacuum up to it or at least a dust bag

Super cool song I went out and purchased one has some laminate to do no issues at all. I also lock the blade in the center. It was able to slide the piece all the way through to make a 2 inch cut.

I love all their tools. Never had a problem with them.

It's like a circular saw and a manual score n snap tile cutter had a baby...

That’s sick!! I wish I need it

Yup definitely getting this one. Much better improvement than the Skill brand i tried 2 years ago. No chords and the design for mitter cuts is much eazier to use. I could totally see me using it saving me having to use my jig saw

Man! That is Real Nass Like! I wish I would have had that 4 years ago!

Just a note You can cut and install rigid core flooring with a utility knife....

I did flooring for 6 years, and recently got out of it. Honestly mad I'm just now finding this video.

Wouldn't hurt to make an extension for it or a larger one for full length cuts. Well without having to stop and slide. Very cool though. I lay alot of lvt so may look into it

Lock the set (run) trigger to power on and use it like a table saw. Hence the push stick.

Would be handy on my lvt flooring jobs

This is cool to have one tool for both cross and rips. Nice job

To rip a length - lock slide lock, lock saw trigger on, feed length using the push bar at the end. 😉

I've been looking at jigs like this for circular saws. There should be a hole in the plate for standard mitre angles, but there are so many useful features that turn a circular saw into a poor man's table saw.

That's a cool saw and will definitely be useful to some people. I also see a track saw doing the same thing

I really need this REEobi tool. We put laminate flooring in our kitchen last year. Then we put the kids, all our luggage, and a crap ton of tools, including my table saw and miter saw, in the mini van and drove 4 hours to my sister in law's house to install a bunch of laminate for her. This little saw would be so much easier to transport. If the miters are accurate, it could be useful in a wood shop, especially for a beginner. If you can't afford a table saw, and you're only building small projects, this might be a solution, depending on the price.

Thanks for this there’s a piece idk what it is for. I’m super novice Round, metal hole in middle about inch diameter. It was packaged in clear bag

If you lock the saw in the middle of the slide fence it not only locks the saw in place it locks the saw in place for long length ripping in affect a rip saw table set up just use the side fence and run through the saw in one go including long lengths. You don’t need to keep moving the timber when ripping like you did, your welcome 👊👊👍👌😀

I just want to let you know that I have the same saw and it is a god send. I do want to let you know that if you lock the saw to the slide and then put on your rip fence. Then you can lock the saw in the on position and rip up to an 8 foot piece of material by pushing the material through the locked saw from the front to the back. Just use the push stick when you get towards the end of your piece of material.

I just bought this all and it works amazing it makes the job go by so much faster and yes I know how to lock it and use it like a table saw 😂😂😂

Congratulations, really original, innovation is here !! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

I am very interested in this saw. I am changing over to laminate from carpet. 👍👍👍👏👏👏👏😁

Best tool review ever. Like how you showed what works great and what blows as in changing the blade. Ryobi is actually one of the few companies that listens. You should do a festool review on some of my sanding pads. You are funny enough, but the whole world will get a laugh after that review. Also consider a career in acting. You are a natural comedian and very good at it. Thanks for the great review and your honesty. Not all tools work as we would like them too. Still wondering why engineers can't make universal tools like saws for lefthanded people. Every try using a chop saw left handed? If not, good luck! It give a hole new meaning to the definition of fear and PTSD.

This is why I own Ryobi they solve problems you didn’t know you had lol

Not in the market for something like this, but sweet video nevertheless and another awesome tool by Ryobi. Smeeshed that like button bro 👍

This is a straight cut above. Ryobi is straight changing the world. This wood be 👍

I have the old blue one corded! I believe when you lock it you can feed the whole plank with the push stick?.

Going to refloor my house soon and I will get this to help with the job.

The guard is what gives you that nice chip clearing ability. If you're going to do this inside of somebody's house a vacuum and that guard will make a big difference on the cleanup later. And customer satisfaction

Good complete review. I wish I had one when I was doing flooring. My way was to have four buckets strapped together in a square and a jig saw. I could slide it with ease and the scraps and dust went into the buckets. Getting up and going to a saw was too time consuming.

I love your energy dude.

They have basically reinvented the radial arm saw and made it battery powered that's really cool they give the push stick and blade lock so you can lock an slide through like a table saw

I need this i do alot of flooring for apartments this is what I need

This looks like an awesome tool. Sure there are a few compromises, but there has to be one or two in in a lightweight machine like this! Looks to be able to do 98% of all cuts.

Skil has had one of these for 15 years, I use it on small trim also

If you lock the saw you can use it like a table saw looks mint

I have one of these saws. Older and corded.have had years now. Yes can make rips too.

I was hoping it was going to do nice long rip cuts, but it looks good and you are funny!

It looks like the guard would really help with dust extraction

Power tile cutter on guide rail has been around for quite awhile , this one looks more like a variation of a radial arm saw

And I like the battery placement since I do not have any large Ryobi batteries I could use an M18 to Ryobi adapter.

I like it alot, Ryobi has done it again!

With the saw locked in the back position the straight guide can be used like a tablesaw.. instead of drawing into the cut..

I’ve done so much work with vinyl planking, cut it with everything from blades to multi-tools, and after half a room it gets very tiring. Looks like a guaranteed purchase from me

I bought one and love it recommend it to anyone who does floors...

Can’t wait to get it! Awesome. Like what I saw.

"Today we're looking at a Ryobi tool so excellent that you'll say to yourself..... 'this is excellent.'" 😂

I would have liked to see how it does with wood flooring...solid, ply core wood verneer , etc.

Hey man! I’m a first time viewer and I’m already hooked! Digging the humor! Not sure where you’re from…but I’m picking up a Cajun vibe. If not, you would definitely fit in down “herya”! Btw…that’s a sweet machine. May have to get me one of dem me!

For those with a little more time on their hands there’s a lot of videos here on KZfaq on how to make your own, any size you want, with at type of circular saw, from basic to complicated.

See I did a floor last month I had to measure 2 inch rips on a piece of laminate chalk line it then clamp it down on a piece of plywood for ever single cut with rips that takes way to long tool is definitely worth it and now I got angle have not had to cut any of those yet definitely will make the work look better

REAL NICE LIKE 😂 always listen out for this!

I wish this was around years-ago when I put down laminate! Or even last year when we used our leftover boxes for a couple of rooms upstairs where every cut was done in the back yard with my miter and table saws. Up the stairs….measure…down the stairs….cut….up stairs… need to cut just a bit more off….down the stairs. That was not “Nass like !

I need this for those long corner cuts

Looks very impressive, I’ll bet with the right blade you could do tile, who’d be dusty as anything but I wouldn’t care.

I love this saw, great video, BUT I need a miter and table saw. I’ve seen that video also. Which is best? It’s hard to choose.

we all know you cut standard angles on miter saw no big deal but not long side that you need table saw or PIA circular saw which always pain in the arse when trying to support it. I love this saw!! makes cutting long sides easy

I have used saws like this, I still like the razor method. The saw always makes a mess. I guess if I had good dust collection that run on a battery also I might try it again.

Your passion alone deserves a thumbs up! Will it cut wood?

I have one, Overall it is a handy tool but when it comes to ripping, it does have some limits with some withs so you have get creative and use a straight edge

I love it, Thank

I think the locking feature of the saw is also to run your piece like a table saw, that's why it has push stick for right?

I make a chit load of drawers and this would be great for that too! Thanks

Love the flooring saw

Lmfao I need no instructions cause I'Ma man 🤣🤣 we all do that Clint lol @1:12 @ToolReviewZone

A mini track saw on a fixed platform, Kreg has a system similar to this, but this is cute.

I hope the Home Depot starts selling it soon. Getting up and down off the floor at 68 years old is tiresome. I will just slide it along the floor as I move through the room like I do with my ceramic tile cutting board. I also would hook my cordless vacuum to it to keep work area clean. Thanks for the video.

When you lock the saw in the middle of the rail, it stands to reason that you could use the "lock" button on the trigger in operation, and feed material through for a rip cut using the push stick? Kinda like a radial arm saw, no?

That would be excellent for cutting vinyl siding.

Can you lock the saw in position and, then feed a piece of flooring through long ways like a table saw? Using the provided tool?

Looks to me more like that lock is also meant to fix the saw in place and use it like an upside down table saw for longways cuts. What do you think that push stick is for?

I have Festool HKC55. It has detent at 5 degrees increment. It looks like this one doesn’t have any detent. But it is a good attempt to make accurate cuts. And I know Ryobi is not going to break my bank.

Have yet to be disappointed by the Ryobi 18+ equip I have. I primarily have Milwaukee tools, but decided to go with Ryobi for the odds and ends. Low pricing, good quality.

Looks very nice and seems to run very well, I'd buy it

Ryobi does come out with some really neat and unique tools. I would use this thing to cut one-by lumber for woodworking projects

I loved your energy and excitement. I bought it. I used it. And then returned it. You kinda oversold it lol.

So for cutting engineered hardwood, the short side cuts I prefer to use a mitre saw. But for long cuts, do you think a saw like this is better than a table saw?

It looks like it really works well. But you were cutting vinyl flooring only. What about laminate wood flooring? Is there any height adjustment for thicker flooring materials.

What is the max thickness it can cut? I have never used a 5 1/2" saw blade before. It seams limited like a tile saw is. Also, is there going to be a HP version with a brushless motor? Thanks for the review!

I'm not into flooring but this a really nice option of course change the blade out

I like it!!! Enjoyed
