DeWalt Miter Saws

10" miter - Purchased in 2004


Strengths: saw is very tough and ajustments are quick and easy my original blade lasted two years you can look thourgh the blade gard to see your alinement

Weaknesses: heavy, but cutting 4x4 and such you need it heavy, a little cumbersome to carry, you need a work platform to use it proper.adjustment leg ajust underneath the saw not good if its already tide down,

What You Wanted to Know Before You Bought It: To by a bench for it like the one they make for it

What Would You Tell the Maker of This Tool: have a laser option, better lock down on the exstension leg not under the saw,all in all I abuse the heck of it, it rides in the back of a pick up with no pertection and nothing has ever broke or came out of alinement for 4 years.

12" compound miter - Purchased in 2007


Strengths: Excellent power and accuracy. It's cutting capacities are excellent. Finish cuts are exceptionally clean and accurate with the 80 tooth carbide blade. This tool is a must have for finish carpenters and deck builders. It makes life a heck of a lot easier! If you get this saw, buy the Dewalt stand that goes with it. It was well worth the money for me and has fences that you can set up for repeat cuts (a real time saver). Overall, it is probably one of the best tool investments we have made.

Weaknesses: It is a bit bulky/heavy to lug around, especially with the stand. I also purchased the laser for the saw which constantly goes out of alignment, hence, I never use the laser anymore.

What You Wanted to Know Before You Bought It: I wish I knew the add on laser guide was not reliable. I could have saved myself a few bucks.

What Would You Tell the Maker of This Tool: Include a reliable laser system with the unit and you would have the ultimate saw. Oh, and put it on sale more often!
