Comments
“After years of borrowing my father’s DeWalt, it was time to get my own. I’m not a professional, just a weekend home improvement guy. I compared features and warranty vs. price and after speaking with some folks at a home improvement store, I made the decision to buy this saw. I used it over weekend, over a period of about 18 hours in two days, to cut crown molding and could not have been happier with the performance. The laser was lined up perfectly out of the box and made cutting extremely easy. This is just a well made, powerful, easy to use saw and I could not recommend it highly enough. Quality on the saw looks great and it was set up perfectly out of the box. For $289, I can’t be happier and look forward to using this for years to come. No issues at all. You will not regret buying this saw.”
“So far I’ve cut pine trim with perfect angles, walnut hardwood flooring and 2x8s, and I plan on using this saw to build a deck out of composite lumber. Just a tip, the saw comes with a 40-tooth blade, which isn’t good for trim or hardwood floor, I went out and purchased a 90-tooth blade and it cuts perfect. In addition to the blade, I bought the UU610 table which fits almost any size piece of lumber, and is a snap to put together and wheel around.”
“This machine is everything it says. It’s great. I enjoy home remodeling and this machine makes it even better. I have never had a laser before and it truly makes it easier to get a precision cut.”
