I'm a frequent home improver and have used this saw for building, improving and/or trimming my own home and those of friends and family for over eight years. Since I purchased it in 2000, this unit has never failed me. With reasonable care and adjustment this thing just keeps going strong and retains precision. Coupled with a Freud teflon coated thin kerf trim blade this unit is the best for what I need it for. I've cut trim, two-by stock, aluminum extrusion, oak and teak and it has always delivered precise cuts. I almost wish it would break so I can justify a 12" slider. The Dewalt bench is perfect too! And I'm not a fan of Dewalt products!

CARPENTER AND HAVE BEEN ONE FOR 15 YEARS I OWN A HITACHI 8 1/2 A MAKITA 10" AND THIS SAW IS OUTSTANDING FOR WHAT IT IS FOR CASE,BASE,CROWN AND CABINET FILLERS TOEKICK MOLDING AS LONG AS IT ISNT OVER 7 1/4 WIDE. THE ADJUSTIBAL FENCE IS TALL ENOUGH TO ACCOMIDATE TALL BASE ON EDGE WHICH IS OF COURSE THE BEST WAY, THE BLADE DOESNT HAVE TO WORK AS HARD SO IT WILL GIVE YOU A MUCH CLEANER CUT. IF THE BASE IS PLOWED OUT IN THE BACK YOU WILL WANT TO FACE THE BASE TO THE FENCE. BUY THE STAND ITS HANDY FOR LITE WEIGHT WORK. PRICE: I BOUGHT THIS SAW 2 YEARS AGO AND IT WASNT AS INEXPENSIVE AS IT IS TODAY IF YOU NEED A TRIM SAW THIS IS IT. IF YOU NEED 1 SAW THAT WILL DO EVERYTHING THIS IS NOT YOUR SAW TRY THE HITACHI 8 1/2 SLIDING MITER GOOD ENOUGH AT ALL ASPECTS OF CARPENTRY.
