Arrived quickly. Easy to setup and easy to use. The best part is the performance; accurate. The build quality is excellent with strong sturdy parts. Only thing is that it comes with a basic 30 teeth blade which is not sufficient for fine cuts. Overall, you can’t go wrong with this saw.

This is the first miter saw that I ever purchased. I spent a decent amount of time researching miter saws and finally decided on this one. So with that being said, this saw is fantastic. It is built solid, has a good weight to it, it doesn’t feel like it is going to break apart. There is very little plastic to this saw.
So right out of the package you can see that Dewalt does a great job packing in this item so things don’t shift. There were very few items that you had to attach and that is a good thing, it means that the saw is really one solid piece of hardware. The first cut that I made was nearly perfect. You will want to adjust the zero so you get straight cuts. Now for the blade. This comes with a 32 tooth blade. This is great for just cutting, if you want perfect miters, spend the money and get yourself a good blade don’t judge this saw by it miters with the stock blade that it comes with.
The carrying handle is solid and I did not feel like it was going to fall apart when I picked it up.
I gave the saw 4 star for maneuverability only because with the sliding capabilities you need to make sure you have clearance to make those types of cuts. I ended up making a mobile miter saw station to compensate for this, but with the weight of this saw don’t expect to be lugging this 3 flights of stairs and not slip a word or two that you may not want others to hear.
Now for the saw itself. It is very smooth and very easy to adjust. There is a little locking pin that you will need to pull out when you get it out of the box and I keep it locked so my little ones don’t try to play with it. All you need to do is depress the saw down and at the joint of the arm there is a locking pin that will unlock the saw. (it took me a minute to figure this out so I thought I would add it here)
This is a great saw, you get good cuts, it will last a long time, and the price point is very fair. Buy this item if you are doing a lot of DIY projects.

Bought this saw for $399 on prime day. Had to wait a few months for it to be available but had my old standby so wasn’t in a panic rush. I had purchased the same saw(Dewalt 12” compound sliding mitre saw) and matching folding bench that it clamps onto, about 20 years ago and it’s been great although I had lent it to a friend who broke the locking mechanism. At that time I think I paid $799 for the saw and bench. Haven’t seen it for $399 ever!
This saw is a bit lighter than my old one as some of the components that were metal on my old saw are now plastic. Also , the base is a little different so the clips that mount my bench don’t line up the same. I was able to make a few modifications to get it to work with my bench but the weight of the saw isn’t directly over the bench . It still works fine but if you have and older mounting system for the dewalt bench , you may want to upgrade that too. Overall , very happy with the saw. Tons of power and cutting capacity with the 12” blade. Dewalt makes great products that take some punishment. Professional grade stuff.

This is another great Dewalt product. However, I bought it during an Amazon sale last July and only received it in October!
