Works Great, but packaging was subpar.
4 Stars
Works Great, but packaging was subpar.
Its a craftsman, so it works great. I have a few things I want to address so let's get into the pros and cons list.Pros-it works awesome, I just use it to cut 1/2-1 inch angled steel for pc frames, and it glides through.-like the positioning clamp, holds really well.-like the locking positionCons-it came slightly damaged because the arm wasn't locked in transit, so thats unfortunate.-the safety cover screw seems like an afterthought, because it wasn't tightening down all the way to keep it open etc.Overall its a great tool and will see many years of use, ands its backed by a legendary company so id recommend, especially at the price point its sitting at.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great saw, could just use a little better packaging.
Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2020
Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
The saw itself works great, I just wish they would do a bit more with the packaging. Craftsman has always been known as a quality line of tools, but the packaging could be a bit better. Things tend to get knocked around some in shipping. Fortunately everything works properly on my saw. I've ordered a few items from Craftsman over the last 2 years and they all seem to be lacking a bit in the shipping protection. The reason I think is because everything is still being packaged in a way that it's expected to be sold on store shelves, like Craftsman always had been for years. So products are still packaged that way, and not really updated for shipping from purchases online.

The saw itself works great and is well made. The blade is sharp and cuts cleanly and straight through wood without leaving any jagged pieces behind. The base is stable and everything about it is designed well. It's pretty much just the packaging that could use a little improvement.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works great for my needs
Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2020
Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
So last year I moved from Ca to Missouri and now I have a place for tools and I’ve always wanted to build my own things and fix things at home and build supports and stuff. I took woodworking a very long time ago in middle school and learned how to use some saws and other tools but I hadn’t picked up any major tools since then, until now. I got this and a few other things and I’ve put new base boards in my home, made a table for my sons virtual learning, made a table for the entry way, boxes for school supplies among other things. It’s easy to use. I’m old school, I didn’t have bells and whistles back then and I don’t need them now, I like using rulers and pencil lines and not letting technology think and do everything for me, plus I’ve shown my kids how to use it, of course with protection and not close, from afar. It’s a good price for a good product. It’s also not super big. It’s easy to transport on a cart if needed to and not very heavy. As far as the packaging, I like it, the less the better, everything comes in cardboard and styrofoam and so many unneeded things, the packaging did its job, my product is in one piec , I can’t blame the product if the shipped damaged the box.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Craftsman standard, works as it should, lightweight and easy to store.
Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2020
Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
Craftsman has been around for 93 years and my hubby has been a fan of their craftsmanship for quite some time.

The quality of this chop saw is high quality, it's light enough that even I can carry it. It's 34.1 pounds, has a 15.0 amp and 3800 rpm. I absolutely love the way this chop saw looks, the color and overall design.

The base is a decent size and it works well for my projects, when I need to trim something or cut a board into smaller separate pieces. There isn't a laser guide so for some projects, I would use a ruler and pen to draw lines where I want it cut since I tend to do that anyways for measuring purposes so it's no biggie.

Pros:
High Quality
Lightweight
15 amp motor with 3800 rpms
Spindle Lock
Heavy Duty Guard for safety
Quick release clamp
3 Year Warranty

Cons:
No laser guide

This chop saw is easy to use and since it's a good size and not heavy, I can move it around myself without asking for assistance. As stated before, the quality of this chop saw is the Craftsman standard. Other than serving its purpose, it looks good sitting in my garage, waiting to be used.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice Chop Saw with cutting wheel designed for cutting metal not wood
Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2020
Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
This is a nice little chop saw that includes a nice wheel designed for cutting metal. In the instructions it mentions that a toothed blade should not be used with this unit. I point this out because I have seen a few reviews mentioning cutting wood. If you want to cut wood then this is not the correct saw. If you want to cut harder materials that would use a cutting wheel then this saw works good and clamps in the material to hold it secure while cutting.

4.0 out of 5 stars Affordable option - without any fancy bells or whistles.
Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2020
Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
Let's be honest. They make chop saws with laser guides. They make chop saws that slide, to allow cutting of larger lumber. They make chop saws that are designed to be bolted onto a bench. They make chop saws that are designed to be bolted onto a portable stand.
This "CRAFTSMAN Chop Saw, 15-Amp, 14-Inch (CMEM2500)" is none of those. Can you accomplish some of those with this? Yes. You can buy an add-on laser guide (yes, they exist). You can bolt it onto a bench, but it's not conveniently designed for it.

HOWEVER, this saw is not proclaiming to be any of those things and it is far under the price-point of most chop/miter saws with those features. So honestly, if you're looking for something fancy, keep going. If you're looking for something functional and affordable, you've found it.

The benefits that I do like about this saw: It has the quick-release clamp that I haven't seen on other saws (although I'm sure it exists on others, I've not seen it). It has the ability to make beveled cuts - up to 45 degrees, which is a big bonus! It has a seemingly-well-constructed base that should hold up for quite a while. Although, in my experiences (generally with nicer miter saws, Dewalt, Hitachi, laser guides, pivoting for angled cuts, etc.) the base isn't really that large. It certainly is large enough, but not larger than most I've seen/used and not really large enough to brag about helping functionality in my opinion.

The one major downside in my opinion is not being able to pivot to make angled cuts across your lumber - although it doesn't advertise that it should. But it is still a fantastic function to have, and would definitely play a role in decision-making for me.
Again though, price point. It's not fancy. It's functional.

Overall... 3.5/5 stars. Nothing that is the manufacturer's fault, just missing some big benefits that many other saws offer - often for more money. If they charged more for it, I'd rate it 3 stars. Thankfully they do not do such.
