I also had the 12" non-sliding model for a bunch of years. It worked great 99% of the time, yes, only when cutting much wider stock (like 12" boards for shelves) was it an issue. Mine didn't have a laser or light. I'd draw a line on the board and then the spinning blade was enough to see where it was going to cut.
