Tool Review
Our favorite feature is the cutline blade positioning system that DEWALT has been offering for quite some time. We like this system much better than older laser systems because it accurately reflects the width of the blade being used. The miter controls and detents work flawlessly and are easily adjusted if need be. Lastly, the blade guard that DEWALT uses is one of the best in my opinion. It works smoothly and never gets hung up like some of the other guards on the market. The blade to help you get through the projects efficiently and safely.
This would be a 5 star review except for the slight glitch we experienced with the electrical panel. Hopefully that gets resolved soon and this saw becomes the gold standard. It has powerful blades that help in boosting its performance.
There aren’t any extension wings integrated into the saw, so you may want to mount it on a stand that includes them or to your workbench. To set the tilting positioning, slide the stopping pin attached to the miter saw. Push the pin and set the tilting angle to the desired point. dewalt Hand toolss also have angle lock like most of the common units in the market. You can find out the lock on the front side of the miter saw.
Glad to hear some good design choices are letting it live up expectations. On the clock, Kenny dives deep to discover the practical limits and comparative differences for all kinds of tools. Never apply too much pressure on the knob or the pin which may cause permanent damage to the parts of the miter saw. If your purchased item has a moveable base, you need to unlock before setting it in a particular position. Look for a knob in the base that you can use to unlock. Twist the knob and move the base in the direction that you want.
You’ll also want to consider the size of the motor in the miter saw. Often, the corded power saws come with a motor that is 12-amps or 15-amps. If you’re using a cordless miter saw, you’ll likely be using a brushless dewalt Hand tools motor that uses 20-volts, 60-volts, or 120- volt rechargeable batteries for power. The amount of power in your miter saw is important because it will determine the types of material you can cut through.
I was a union carpenter for 20 years and left the field to start my own commercial construction company. I have allowed my installers to get any tool they feel they need, but no longer will I authorize any purchase of a dewalt tool! I personally bought a DW705 12″ miter saw, from Home Depot, about 4 or 5 years ago to remodel my house and kitchen. I was surprised to find out that it did not come with a material clamp !
If you’re cutting through thinner material that’s no wider than the saw blade, you’ll be fine using a non-sliding mitre saw. With the non-sliding mitre saws, the neck of the saw and the blade won’t be able to slide back and forth while you’re cutting, and it will only be able to go up and down in a straight line. As you’re choosing a DeWalt miter saw, you’ll want to pay attention to the Rotations Per Minute that it can provide. It’s quite a good model for those looking to make inroads into their woodworking career – and is favorite for many beginners with its user-friendly design.
It’s a type of compound miter saw with parallel sliding bars providing you the option to cut wider wood boards without moving the tool around. Pro Tool Reviews is a successful online publication that has been providing tool reviews and industry news since 2008. In today’s world of Internet news and online content, we found that more and more professionals researched a large majority of their major power tool purchases online. The DeWalt 20V Max Miter Saw is a sliding system, which I was very glad to see.
They also have a 10″ brushless dual bevel 54v model available in the UK/Australia, DCS727. I switched brands to Milwaukee, as their 7¹/⁴ was so much better, and I got it for $350 with extra batteries. My Bosch axial slide at 90# stays in the shop, but the little red saw goes everywhere at 25#.
