Only bug, dust collection

2/2/2010

I won't duplicate what everyone else has said - this is a wonderful saw that is easy to adjust, and a joy to use. However, two quirks, one of which I took a star for.

- First, the dust collection isn't that hot on this saw. There is a port to hook a vacuum hose to in the saw support just above the spring that holds the saw open. There isn't much of a chute, however, to direct dust to this port. After using it for an afternoon of trimming trim for baseboards, my hose and workspace was coated in sawdust. With my earlier, cheaper Skill miter saw, the collection seemed to work a bit better. (That would be the only area of many where I'd put the Skill saw above this one)
- Second, when buying blades, I discovered by accident that the saw uses an insert that goes into the arbor hole of the 12" blades to center the blade on the saw. The arbor hole itself is smaller than the standard 1" opening on a `12" blade. No crisis, but threw me for a loop as I didn't figure out the insert until returning one blade to the store and wandering the aisles looking for 12" blades with smaller arbor holes. These can be purchased from parts stores on the internet for about $3/each, I think I'll buy a few just in case one gets lost.

Otherwise, a wonderful saw, very quiet and cuts like a dream. The default blade isn't all that exciting, but would work for rough carpentry. I replaced with a Dewalt 80T ATB blade, and the ensuing cuts look and feel very finished with minimal splintering. My saw came with the optional work light / saw aiming device installed, and that has been nifty too, really improves visibility of marks for cuts.

Tested for 8 years and it passes the test!!!

1/15/2010

Great saw, with excellent accuracy and repeatability (with optional repeater jig). Good capacity in height and width. The only thing I found it wouldn't cut was a 1x12" skirt board for building a staircase. I don't cut stock that wide very often, so I don't mind. This is a tool I use frequently. No more almost square cuts freehand with a circular saw. You will even find yourself using it to cut up scrap lumber to fit in the garbage. Great safety guard that never gets in your way. Ergonomic handle and angle lock. Very comfortable, almost effortless to use. Plenty of power. Dewalt 12" blades are high quality.
When I look back at the best purchases I ever made... this saw and my Kubota tractor are on the top of the list. That's how good this saw is.

Great Saw Still Going Strong after Eight Years

4/18/2009

I'm a frequent home improver and have used this saw for building, improving and/or trimming my own home and those of friends and family for over eight years. Since I purchased it in 2000, this unit has never failed me. With reasonable care and adjustment this thing just keeps going strong and retains precision. Coupled with a Freud teflon coated thin kerf trim blade this unit is the best for what I need it for. I've cut trim, two-by stock, aluminum extrusion, oak and teak and it has always delivered precise cuts. I almost wish it would break so I can justify a 12" slider. The Dewalt bench is perfect too! And I'm not a fan of Dewalt products!

FINE SAW

3/1/2009

CARPENTER AND HAVE BEEN ONE FOR 15 YEARS I OWN A HITACHI 8 1/2 A MAKITA 10" AND THIS SAW IS OUTSTANDING FOR WHAT IT IS FOR CASE,BASE,CROWN AND CABINET FILLERS TOEKICK MOLDING AS LONG AS IT ISNT OVER 7 1/4 WIDE. THE ADJUSTIBAL FENCE IS TALL ENOUGH TO ACCOMIDATE TALL BASE ON EDGE WHICH IS OF COURSE THE BEST WAY, THE BLADE DOESNT HAVE TO WORK AS HARD SO IT WILL GIVE YOU A MUCH CLEANER CUT. IF THE BASE IS PLOWED OUT IN THE BACK YOU WILL WANT TO FACE THE BASE TO THE FENCE. BUY THE STAND ITS HANDY FOR LITE WEIGHT WORK.

PRICE: I BOUGHT THIS SAW 2 YEARS AGO AND IT WASNT AS INEXPENSIVE AS IT IS TODAY IF YOU NEED A TRIM SAW THIS IS IT. IF YOU NEED 1 SAW THAT WILL DO EVERYTHING THIS IS NOT YOUR SAW TRY THE HITACHI 8 1/2 SLIDING MITER GOOD ENOUGH AT ALL ASPECTS OF CARPENTRY.
