Ryobi 10-Inch Miter Saw: The Renewed Brushless Saw and Key Parts

Best for
Cordless builders making desks and cabinets

The RYOBI 18V ONE+ HP BRUSHLESS 10″ Sliding Compound Miter Saw is part of Ryobi’s ONE+ HP line, which pairs a brushless motor with advanced electronics and High Performance lithium-ion batteries to deliver what Ryobi describes as corded cutting performance. It spins up to 4,100 RPM, and Ryobi claims up to 550 cuts per charge with a 4.0Ah High Performance battery. The battery is not included, so you need one from the ONE+ system.

The sliding design is the key feature. A fixed 10 inch saw can only cut boards so wide, while a sliding saw moves the blade forward and back through the cut, and this one handles cross cuts up to 12 inches. That covers wide shelving and desk components. The miter range extends to 47 degrees left and right, with nine positive stops at 0, 15, 22.5, 31.6 and 45 degrees each way for quick, repeatable angles, which is useful for picture-frame corners on a display case or angled arcade cabinet panels. It bevels from 0 to 45 degrees in one direction only.

Other listed details include an LED cutline indicator that shows where the blade will cut, a 1-1/4 inch dust port for a shop vac, a 40-tooth blade, and a weight of 20 pounds with dimensions of 32 by 18 by 18 inches. As a renewed product, it comes with a limited warranty, and the listing does not describe what the refurbishment included, so check the Amazon Renewed terms before buying.

This is the pick for makers who want a cordless saw that can set up anywhere, including a balcony or a driveway. If you need double bevel cuts for crown molding, this single bevel design means flipping the workpiece. For corded alternatives in this class, our 10 inch sliding miter saw review is a useful comparison.

• Up to 12 inch cross cuts with sliding design
• Brushless motor up to 4,100 RPM
• Up to 550 cuts per 4Ah charge
• 47 degree miter range, 9 positive stops

Best for
TSS102L or TS1345L owners with a broken lower guard

The Miter Saw Parts Lower Blade Guard is sold under the XCWT brand, with the manufacturer listed as Goldenpeak. It is a replacement lower guard for Ryobi’s TSS102L and TS1345L 10 inch miter saws and replaces Ryobi part number 080016005704. The lower guard is the piece that retracts as the blade enters the wood and covers the blade again when you lift the head, so a cracked or sticking guard is a safety problem worth fixing promptly.

The listing describes materials including polycarbonate, iron and TPU, and a clear shield for visibility and protection from debris and accidental contact. It also calls that shield PP, which conflicts with the polycarbonate description, so the exact plastic is unclear. XCWT says the modular design is easy to install, remove, clean and inspect. The item weighs 1.1 pounds. The listing also claims the guard enhances a table saw, which does not match its stated fit for miter saws; we would only rely on the TSS102L and TS1345L compatibility.

This suits owners of those two corded saws with a damaged, cracked or sticking lower guard who want to keep an otherwise healthy saw in service. It is not listed for the 18V brushless saw above. Before ordering, unplug the saw, check how your current guard mounts, and compare it with the listing photos, since a guard that does not retract smoothly is worse than useless.

• Fits Ryobi TSS102L and TS1345L
• Replaces part 080016005704
• Clear shield for blade visibility
• 1.1 pounds

Best for
Owners needing a full guard assembly

The 080016005704 Blade Guard Assembly Compatible with Ryobi 10″ miter saws is made by GJK, not Ryobi. It carries the same part number as the XCWT guard, 080016005704, and lists the same fit: the TSS102L and TS1345L. GJK describes it as a blade guard assembly and sells it as a single piece.

The listing says the material is durable and wear-resistant but does not name it, and it claims easy installation and removal without professional skills. It weighs 1.39 pounds, slightly heavier than the XCWT guard. Some specification fields, such as a size of small and a hand-powered power source, do not tell you anything useful about fit.

Because both guards share a part number, the choice mostly comes down to which listing’s details you trust. XCWT describes its materials in more depth, while GJK is simpler. For either one, compare the part against your old guard’s mounting points before installation.

Whichever guard you choose, test it before cutting. With the saw unplugged, lower the head slowly and confirm the guard retracts without catching, then lift the head and confirm it snaps back over the blade on its own. If it binds at any point, recheck the installation before powering up.
