Great saw and at a good price.Added a 100 tooth blade for cabinet construction.

A little pricey, but a workhorse. The single clamp included does not match the high price; and there should be two, not one. Otherwise, excellent quality.

This is an excellent saw. Out of the box it was slot on. My only complaint is the location of the dust port. If you use this as a bench top saw you won’t be able to push it up to the wall and use dust bag/vacuum.Other than that it’s awesome.

It has power to spare. Has many bells and whistles that a person would need for a saw. I have had it since Christmas.

Does everything well. It is a large saw and the user should have long arms to connect to a saw stand

This saw is a beast. For an old guy trying to put it on the DeWalt Miter Stand I will eventually need hernia surgery. Lots of people have reviewed the saw and made the comment about the 32 Tooth Blade which comes with the saw being incorrect. The 32 is a cheap blade to purchase. I would imagine this is why DeWalt includes it. I purchased the 60 Tooth and the 80 Tooth and changed the blade before even using the saw. The saw works extremely well and is very precise right out of the box. The only flaw I have experienced is in changing the blade because you really have to be careful on the placement of the washer inside the hole of the blade. This may come from my inexperience in using this type of saw. I also wish that the saw had a more secure way to lock the slider into place. The knob concept really relies on making sure it is tight so that the slider will not allow creep. DeWalt needs to consider having a lock down lever to prevent movement if you wish to use the saw in a fixed position. DeWalt always comes out top in reviewer comments and this saw is definitely quality. I purchased a Rigid fixed miter saw several years ago and can compare them side by side. The DeWalt is definitely a better saw.

I I’m very happy with it. I have always had problems with getting a good 45 degree angle with other piece of equipment that I bought! It cut a perfect one right out of the box.
