I was given this saw a year or so ago by a friend who owns some rental property. He ended up evicting for non-payment and the people left behind a lot of stuff they basically just picked up and left every flipping thing there for him to clear out. And this chop saw was among the items that were left. He tried to contact them and see if they wanted the tools but he never got any response from them so he asked me if I wanted this saw. I am a hand tool woodworker primarily but I do use some handheld power tools if I do home repairs and things like that because let's face it it's silly to try to do all that by hand tools. I'd rather make furniture or something like that with my hand tools and use the power tools to get practical things like fixing my home done. But I don't know anything about chop saws. First of all if you look at the pictures what is that blade? I think it's probably like a tile saw blade or some such thing like that. Also it's a smaller saw so is 7 and 1/4 in a thing with these. Because I need to replace that blade and there are no markings on this saw anywhere that says what the model number is. Or at least none that I can find. I think it was probably used on a job site and thrown on the back of someone's truck and just beating and abuse so probably anything on it that would tell me what model it is has worn off of it. Also there's a little it looks like a clamp or something on the fence I'm not sure what that is. If you could look at the pictures and tell me what you can about this saw I would appreciate it. Thank you.

WOW! 

 

Yes, that is not a wood cutting blade, but you'll need a blade of the same diameter. Some of the Ryobi guys will be able to provide more specific brand information.

The threaded thingy is a hold down for the piece being cut. Depending on how it is powered, you might need to put batteries in the laser line device.

I can't see if the angle lock/adjustment lever/knob is broken or missing

The fence clamp is for horinzantionly clamping most chop saws clamp vertically also.

 

It might be a TS1345L

I will not be using the laser. I don't need it. It needs batteries anyway. Thank you for the help

It's all there. The lock and adjustment lever there's a screw knob in the back that you loosen and turn it for the angles that you want, and then to the right there's a little lever that you push to tighten and lock that angle in. Both seem to work fine.

Then it is probably not the model I thought.

I see that now

Assuming this is a 7 and 1/4 blade. And I'm going on that because I have a 10-in chop saw someone else gave me that I use and the blade is much smaller. I'm just assuming 7 and 1/4 and maybe 9 or 10 in and 12 in are kind of standard but like I said I really don't use power tools. But if it is 7 and 1/4 how deep of a cut or rather how wide of a cut can I make. I'm assuming like 3 in or 3 and 1/2 in so basically this is sort of a job site chopsaw for cutting 2x4s? I'm thinking that's right.

I think this might be the manual-

That's the same size blade my old Hitachi chop saw takes.

I can "almost" cut thru a  3.5" x 3.5"  4x4 with mine. rotate 180 and finish the cut. 

I would bet that is a 10" saw.  Find model and serial number for investigation into what it is.

Sweet score Mike. Just looking at pictures I tend to agree with Dan. Looks more like a 10" vs 7-1/4". IDK if Ryobi made an 8". The blade that's on there now looks like some type of masonry blade.

 

Model # should be on front of motor housing, next to brush cap tag that's shown in top picture.

That manual Lew linked showed a Ryobi 7 1/4"; the blade that in it seems to be the right size, measuring it should provide the answer.

I will do so. If that is the correct size blade it is not a 10". I have a 10" saw and the blades when I set the machines side by side are definitely different sizes, with that one being considerably smaller than the 10".

 I will take some magnification and see if I can find a model #.

Thanks, everyone. Much appreciated.

 

This may well be it.

That looks to be it. I will confirm as soon as I can

Model number is ts11 43L. I will look that up and see what it is thanks guys.
