Rockwell RK7323 Blade Runner X2
The newest model for Rockwell RK7323 Portable Tabletop Saw Blade Runner X2 has emphasized its better capacity and better adjustment controls. A top handle was added to the design, making it more portable, while a splitter and a hold-down guard allowed more significant cutting pieces. Users are not limited anymore to cutting small pieces at a time.
It is one of the more convenient tools of this genre because it is equipped with a toolless blade change mechanism that allows users to free up both of their hands for working, rather than the usual scenario where one hand has to hold down the machine. With this feature, accurate and precise cuts are easily made.
It is also lightweight, so workers can quickly bring it from one workshop to the other without worrying about heavy machinery. With the increased capability to cut wood of different pieces, this product makes it a high contender for the title of the ultimate cutting machine.
Bigger and Better Capabilities
The Rockwell RK7323 Portable Tabletop Saw has great potential for doing multiple tasks without too many adjustments compared to its predecessors. Its riving knife system allows cutting for various materials like wood, ceramic tiles, and laminates. It is also lightweight (15 lbs.), so it is very portable and compact to carry around.
The machine’s splitter system allows unlimited cross and rip cuts for the workpieces. That makes the finished product’s design accurate and precise cuts. Cutting wood will take seconds and with the feature of hands-free work.
While other machines require different kinds of saw blades to cut through various materials, such is not the case for this product. It’s designed to be an all-in-one type of scroll saw.
Toolless Blade Change Mechanism for Easier Handling
Another great feature of Rockwell RK7323 is the T-shank standard jigsaw blades equipped with a tool-less blade change feature. That means the time for adjustments and other calibrations is minimized dramatically. When cutting from wood to plastic, it will take seconds for the adjustments to occur. Working time is minimized, especially if more significant quantities of cutting pieces are required.
Workers will have both hands free while working because of this feature. Unlike other products which require machine handling, this one has no such problem. It is a convenient machine that aims to give better results by incorporating many functions into one product. The blades are also relatively standard, so there is no problem with replacements or maintenance issues later.

Rockwell RK7323 Reviews
This product has reached almost 300+ reviews, and most of them have rated it as an average product for portable saws. The features are pretty good and generally improve over its predecessors, but it has not quite reached the level of other cutters that can be used as an all-around tool.
Although most customer reviews have indicated that they like the features of this product after the initial check, it seems that some issues arise after they have used it. The plastic build of the machine makes it seem like a lightweight product that may not be able to support cutting heavy wood. Small and intricate pieces are okay, but customers have commented that they are thoroughly impressed with this aspect when it comes to thicker surfaces.
What to Improve
One of the biggest things to improve on for this product is its plastic build. Users who will use this product for the first time will perceive it as a lightweight machine that may not be able to deliver the expected results.
The good thing, though, is the metal core of the machine. Despite some complaints, this makes up for the outside build and allows it to do its job. Manufacturers could have used aluminum instead of plastic for their build.
Conclusion
Rockwell RK7323 packs a lot of punch despite the plastic build. Many reviews indicate its ability to do multiple tasks, and most customer reviews have stated that it has delivered on this front.
Various capabilities allow this machine to stand out compared to others. Despite its plastic build, it is still equipped with a high-performance metal core that makes for a good base when cutting through different materials.
