Kobalt Compact sliding 7-1/4-in Single Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw

Let's unbox and use the Kobalt Compact sliding 7-1/4-in 10-Amp Single Bevel Sliding Compound Corded Miter Saw. This Kobalt miter saw features a powerful 10.0 Amp ball bearing motor and a die-cast aluminum fence. After adjustments it is accurate for woodworking and carpentry work. Whether you plan on DIY projects, installing sub-floors, roof decking, wood fencing, sheathing, or easy transport to the jobsite, this may be the right miter saw for you. Regular price at the time of this video is $179 but I bought mine on a black Friday sale for $99. Let me know in the comments how you plan to use your miter saw or your experience with this saw.
