I'm glad you said this Edwin. I've long thought that the laser guides
feel
squarely into the category of gimmick or gadget on a saw, but don't say
that
out loud all that often. What kills me most is Sears' most current
commercial showing a guy running a cut with a circular saw with a laser on
it and advertising how this will keep your cuts true. Now, someone...
anyone... please explain to me how that cute little red line is going to
do
anything more for your cut than my ugly black line that I've used all
these
years? Oh well - that's advertising I guess.

Personally, I prefer my 2 black marks & cutting guide. However, for the sake
of argument, if you're cutting that line free-hand, the laser pointing out
in front *might* help you keep the saw following the line easier than trying
to watch the line pass through the cut indicator on the front of the guide,
or craning your head to watch the blade follow that black line.
