What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this miter saw for exceptional cutting accuracy, powerful performance, and solid build quality. Reviewers consistently report straight, smooth, square cuts right out of the box, with many calling it a reliable workhorse delivering professional results. The heavy-duty construction and intuitive setup earn frequent praise, while the combination of professional-grade performance at a competitive price point resonates strongly. A few note the included blade could be upgraded and mention the stand is sold separately, but these minor points barely diminish the overwhelmingly positive verdict.

Love it!
I am looking forward to using this saw! I have been waiting for a while for a deal to come and it finally did. My dad owns this exact model and he loves it as a cabinet builder. I knew I couldn’t go wrong with DeWalt and the dual bevel sliding feature.

Nice saw for the price
Well designed and built saw with good features and capabilities. Some of the smaller switches and levers feel like they could have been made more robust but time will tell how durable they are. The tubular side supports were awkward to install and could feel more secure once installed. With the sale price at Lowe's this saw appears to have very good value.

Heavyweight champ
Very versatile with nice big blade and slide that allow a wide variety of dimensions to be cut accurately. decent multipurpose blade included. plenty of diy upgrades to improve finish (Google it). it's a beast to haul around, but awesome if you have dedicated space.
blows 20 amp circuit breaker
Picked this saw up and was so excited to start using it. It immediately started blowing the brand new 20 amp circuit breaker. We tried different plugs in the shop, with and without a surge protector and with and without an extension cord. We even talked to our electrician to see what we needed to check on this end. Everything on our side check out, so we returned the saw thinking it probably was faulty and picked up another one. Got home and same issue. We got online to research this and it i...

Great Saw in Desperate Need of an Update
This saw is extremely powerful and can do pretty much everything I throw at it. It's easy to adjust and tune, and the cuts are very accurate. The one thing that needs a pretty major improvement, though, is the dust collection. The rails on the saw are already very long, so having the hose connection be at the end of the rails makes it a nightmare to put in any sort of permanent spot. With the blade fully pulled in and the saw at 90 degrees, you need about 40 inches of clearance from the back of ...

Blade won't spin
I have had my saw for about a month, when i went to change the blade, it stopped spinning or with barely moves and sounds like the motor will burn up. I will not claim to be a expert, but when someone who does it for living came over to look at it and make sure i did it correctly, even he was puzzled at why it was doing that. Took blade off and turned it on, it seemed to work just fine, so if you know what i am doing wrong, please feel free to respond and I will change my star rating, but not su...
