Pros: precision cuts, handles larger stock easily Cons: heavy, cumbersome to carry, small dust port
Dewalt has a proven track record of delivering a product capable of professional reliability in the most demanding of situations. It is however, through innovation that a company as Dewalt becomes the major player it has in the professional tools...
Pros: Great miter scale and locking system. Cuts stock of sizes that most saws will not. Cons: No work stops and extended work supports reduce the value of the saw
The key to getting good results in woodworking is repeatability. The ability to make a smooth accurate cut that is identical to the last cut made or a cut made three cut ago plays a major role in getting the results you desire. Having a saw that can...
Pros: Easy to set up Cons: Somewhat awkward to move
I had to build a patio cover this summer, and knew that I would be using lots of pressure treated lumber. I wanted a saw that would slice through wet 4x4s without bogging down, and provide accurate, repeatable miters.
Initially, I looked at...
Pros: Fast Setup, Fast Clean Cuts, Fast Takedown Cons: Armature will burn up if used on extreme production jobs.
It was the spring of ‘97 and I had just started building B&B cabins. I needed a saw that could cut through 6x6‘s, 6x8’s and 8x8’ D-logs with the stipulation that the unit be portable. I searched high and low with no success. I began considering ...
Pros: All scales and adjustments directly before the operator. Cons: There may be a few, but I could not find them.
DeWalt Double Bevel Compound Miter Saw #DW708.
A masterpiece, the pie a la mode of linear miter saws. So excited am I about this piece of machinery it is difficult to find a starting point so I will start with the basics. It is...
Pros: Cuts smooth. Handles large pieces. Precise adjustments. Nice miter adjustment. Cons: A little low on power. Heavy and difficult to move. Poor dust collector.
This saw was the first miter saw I purchased. I was planning to build a deck and needed a miter saw to do the cutting. I looked at several different manufacturers and decided that for the price and versatility, the DW708 was the saw.
Pros: Accurate, heavy duty and reliable Cons: Phenomenally noisy, mitre lock, dust extraction.
It's very nice. It's solid, accurate and just heavy enough to make it robust yet not heavy enough to make it impossible to move. My only gripe with the saw after having used it for 6 months or so, is that the stop feature on the saws angle axis vari ...
Pros: Accuracy, repeatability, toughness are hard to beat Cons: Dust collection leaves this just short of being the perfect tool.
I purchased my DW708 as a reconditioned tool through e-Bay a little over two years ago. The package the saw was shipped in was a total wreck by the time I'd received the saw. I was certain that the saw must have sustained damage in shipment given the ...
Pros: First saw I ever bought that was accurate right out of the box. Cons: Nada
I bought mine factory reconditioned from Harbor Freight. $449 w/ no tax, no shipping costs, and set on my back porch two days later ready to go.
I plugged it in, set it at 90° cut a board, so I could flip one half to see how far of it was on the...
Pros: Easy to calibrate, solid, accurate, good blade Cons: Dust collection, no clamps or extensions
The saw is said to be calibrated at the factory so it can be used out of the box. Great advertising, but when any tool is moved, it needs to be calibrated. Luckily this saw is easy to calibrate. The included stabilizing bar is easy to install and I...
I purchased the DeWalt Sliding Compund saw because I needed its capacity
to cross cut wide stock, and because I wanted the ability to cut crown
molding laying flat. I looked at the Makita 12" model and the Bosch 10"
saw. I...
Pros: Precision; Ease of Use; Safety Cons: None noted
I am laying a wood floor throughout my home and found my table saw was not precise enough for the miter cuts, molding, and angle stairways. The Dewalt 12" compound miter saw appeared to be the best buy. The product exceeded my expectations. It is...
