 Excellent design Jan 05, 2007
By Bemace
I'm not a professional, I'm just a homeowner who appreciates quality tools, but it seems they got all the details right on this saw. Miter and bevel were perfectly aligned out of the box, which I checked with my triangle and with some test cuts. Getting it out of the box was easy too, thanks to the carrying handle on the saw head which is very solid and close to the center of balance. (Usually with big items like this you have to figure out how to get your hands underneath it and then hold the box down while you get it out.) The locking pin which keeps the saw head down when you're carrying it can be slid in and out easily but has no problem supporting the weight, while the spring that raises the head prevents the pin from sliding out accidentally. There are also good hand holds on each side of the base with rounded edges so they don't dig into your hands.
Bevel stops at 0 and 45 degrees make it easy to switch between common angles, but can be slid back after loosening a screw to allow a few more degrees either way when you need to compensate for other cuts that were a little off (made by someone else, of course). There's also a flip-out stop for 33.9 degree bevel which is also solidly made. The bevel locking knob-thing is nice and big, making it easy to grip and turn. The adjustable fence can be quickly adjusted with a single knob, but is still very sturdy when tightened down.
Miter adjustment is rock solid. The quick detents have no wiggle room at all, and the detent override makes it easy to adjust to any angle. The simple push-down miter lock is easy to use, and once locked I was unable to force it slip to either side.
The dust bag collects a bit over half of the sawdust, and as a result fills up pretty quickly. I'm planning to get an adapter so I can connect my shopvac to the dust outlet. If you're wondering, the dust port is 1.5" O.D.
Everything about this saw is sturdy, and all the adjustments can be made with very little effort. It's also a little quieter than I expected, which is nice. You can't go wrong with this saw.

This saw is a beast Jun 11, 2010
By Teacher Mikal
"mechanismbusboy"
I have to admit,
I've always been one of those pro carpenters that thought DeWalt saws looked and worked cheaply. Like many of you, I have used every chop saw and dual compound miter saw imaginable. Years later I became a woodshop teacher. When I started, the old teacher before me had an nice new Makita and good old Hitachi stuffed in the back tool storage room and this saw set up prominently out on the shop floor. I decided to leave it there and see what would happen over the course of the school year.
I watched this saw get day in and day out abuse from students who cut too fast, started the saw while touching the work, let the saw run too long, let the saw snap back to its upright position, chopped wood not against the fence, never cleaned the blade or used wicked dull blades all day. I had students using pine and the saw covered in sap that hardened to amber. (hey I can hear you judging me fellas, I had thirty-two inner city kids in these classes [no injuries-knock on wood]. One week I had students blazing away for hours chopping hickory and pecan, leaving the saw hot to the touch.
Long story short: you couldn't find a better field testing environment than a high school shop class. Despite this merciless abuse, this saw cut perfectly accurate. It is loud, and the brake doesn't like the kind of resharpened heavy blades I use, but nonetheless, after school, I made fine furniture with this same saw. I made tight perfect miters with it It could chop cleanly through 12/4 rock maple full of nails on a dull blade (I know all of you are wincing, that's why I used a beater blade)
I used it to chop and cut shoulders on giant 5 in dovetails in 8/4 Bubinga. or trimming off a 64th of the same without it drifting away...always leaving my work dead on 90 degrees. We cut dirty two by fours, weird laminates, acrylic, you name it, this saw performed.
This proves to me that this saw has earned it's chops for the jobsite. Period. I wish I could say the same about DeWalt biscuit joiners.

GREAT SAW Feb 28, 2007
By K. Sexton
I've had this saw for almost a year now and can still recommend this tool as a great purchase. Despite the 12" size, its remarkably light and portable which is a major plus as I don't have a workshop so I have to pull it out and set it up each time. Plenty of power. The miter stops are solid and extremely easy and accurate. I put on a Frued blade to take care of the molding work I mostly do and the results are always gratifying (when I measure twice). I purchased the Irwin laser for $25 and that works great as well.

no complaints! Mar 09, 2007
By J. R. Dehaan
Many people have beat up the yellow saws. I don't understand the psychology of DeWalt hate. This has been a fine saw. The blade is fine for construction work and eats 2x4's. I put a 80 tooth on it for finer work and it is spectacular. Out of the box it could have been ready to go, but I'm not one to expect perfection after mfg and shipping. To make this a really good saw, I screwed on a Dewalt 36-136 miter stand (I'm not worried about clashing colors!)

 Only bug, dust collection Feb 02, 2010
By M. Montgomery
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.
