Ryobi - BTS20

[James Oney]

The saw cuts well in light duty. Long rips over work the motor and causes the armature to fail. The cost of replacing the armature is half the cost of a new saw. I will not buy another Ryobi Tool.

The important thing on these small saws is a sharp blade, and a fence that is true to the blade. I cut 2" oak - 3/4"maple - 6/4" popular and a ton of 2x4's etc., on my ryobi and when the blade is not sharp or the wood starts to bind or pinch the blade the power breaker trips well before the saw ever stops This saw has power and it has limits too!! It's not a 3 or 5 horse power cabinet saw that will throw an oak plank through the wall (like the two I have in the shop) also if your ripping a 2x4's do not use an 80 tooth blade or even a 50 tooth for that matter!!
