DeWalt 10 in. Compound Miter Saw, Heavy Duty Reviews

Displaying all 10 reviews

This saw is one of the very best I have ever owned and used. I have had many other models that don't compare to this fast moving true cutting machine. The miter cuts are true as well as the cut lines are clean. Best saw I could ever buy and use for the money.

Its easy for a woman as well as a man to use and understand.

 I would tell anyone to give it a try. You won't be sorry and its a good deal for the money and the years of use you get from it.

10" DeWalt Miter Saw

No workshop should be without a miter saw and the 10 " DeWalt is truly an exceptional saw. It gives you great value for your bucks and performs exceptionally well. All of the angle cuts are easy to set on the saw for anything you want to cut. It does so many things it would be hard to do my woodworking without it. I would definitely recommend this saw to anyone doing woodworking.

DeWalt Delivers again

This is a fantastic saw. The fit and finish is superb, the stops are well made, and the saw moves very smoothly from stop to stop. There is very little kick when the blade starts and stops, and the included blade is great for trim work, moldings, etc. It cuts effortlessly through almost anything you throw at it. The base is very well made and very professional looking. The high fence is a plus, and helped me ensure a square cut on larger pieces. Another huge plus with this saw is the handle. Simply lower the blade arm, secure a latch, and you can carry this anywhere. I've done this several times... read full review »

Quality Saw

I always try to buy quality tools, even if I have to settle for fewer features. The craftsman 10" sliding compound miter with laser was slightly more cost wise, and I truely thought hard about it. I compared the 2 side by side and couldn't walk away from the DeWalt because of the quality difference. Sure, there's features I would like in the DeWalt, (80T blade, slide, laser) but not at the price I paid. It went from the Box (great Box by the way), to my work bench, no fuss, no adjustments, great saw. I would recommend this saw to any do-it yourselfer or contractor. As as side note, I love SEARS... read full review »

Good Ole DW

Had a ProTech 10" for 10 years and paid as much for it as this DeWalt. Amazing how prices have come down and quality up. Quality of DeWalt fit and finish looks and feels much better. Blade Brake works smoother and does not kick saw nearly as much as my old ProTech. I wish I had this saw for a crown molding project I did last year as the blade brake is smoother causing less chance for damaging finished cut. I am even comfortable with my sons using it to help on projects. Machining on base and squareness of saw out of the box is superb. Saw sets sets up smoothly with positive stops. The weight, size,... read full review »

A truly great tool

I bought this saw about six years ago and it has never given me problem of any sort. Out of the box the blade and table were perfectly aligned. Thousands of cuts later it is still in perfect alignment without ever having to make an adjustment. Changing miter angles is quick, simple and accurate. I'm a fairly active diy'er and have used the saw to build fences, decks, playsets, install flooring and moldings. I built a rolling cart for the saw so I can use it in the garage or drag it out in the driveway, so it's always handy to use. Since buying this saw, my circular saws see very little use... read full review »

Great Buy

I have used many Miter Saws, with and with out the lazer. This is by far the best saw that I have used. I love it. Don't worry about the price, or no lazer. Out of the box it was square & all angles were on the money. You won't be dissapointed with this saw.

Great Tool

This is by far the best miter saw that I have ever used. I recently had a Ryobi miter saw that was just ok. With the Dewalt miter saw the cuts are smooth every time. It is a bumer that it did not come with the verticle clamp. Although it is $200 it is well worth the money. I would definately buy it again.
