Black & Decker Firestorm FS110L Miter Saw with Laser

Date Published: 10/18/06

The Firestorm FS110L 10-inch compound miter saw from Black & Decker provides several advantages over traditional saws, primarily when it comes to the laser. On most miter saws, the laser is mounted on the arbor, so the laser line disappears when you make your cut. The laser on this model is mounted on the blade guard, so the line is always visible.

This saw also features a manual laser on/off switch, so the laser and saw run independently from each other. You can switch on the laser line and line up the cut before you turn on the saw. Both features go a long way toward making sure you keep an eye on the line during every stage of the cut.

The Black & Decker Firestorm FS110L comes with a 15-amp motor -- though moderate, still plenty of power for most jobs -- and a 40-tooth carbide-tipped blade for a smooth finish, as well as a high sliding fence and table extensions on both sides. It also features a detachable dust bag and a horizontally positioned handle.

With a top-of-the-line laser design and well-thought-out features, the Firestorm FS110L 10-inch compound miter saw is a user-friendly tool that would fit in well in any workshop.


Pros: Blade guard-mounted laser, separate laser on/off switch
Cons: Moderate amount of power
