Great. I had to purchase a better blade. I am pleased; however, I wish it had a laser sight on it. It came with a cheap blade.
cost of new.too much, cost of refurbished is great. would buy refurbished again excellent saw, precise, seemingly durable.
Nice and tight now. Looks and works great. Like new condition. That said, you just can't beat the value.Excellent. One of the bearings for the slider was a bit loose, but it has an adjustment knob that took care of the problem.
the angles and cuts are all dead on with no adjustments necessary and I saved $200 over what I would have paid for a new one. I owned a Delta 10" sliding Compound Miter saw and wanted a DeWalt 12" Dual Bevel Sliding compound Miter saw but the price was to high. I had read a favorable reveiw on the Bosch Sliding Compound Miter Saw and was about to buy one when I found several reviews about the positive results being received by users of factory reconditioned DeWalt Dual Bevel Sliding Compund Miter Saws. This is the best purchase I have made, I got what I wanted and saved money, what more can you ask. The price was right so I ordered one and checked it out.
I have not used it extensively, but enough to say that it's a great machine.This is the first miter saw that I've owned, and it replaces an older Delta radial arm. 3) A good friend promised to give me grief if I bought a saw that was smaller than his :-)The unit arrived in perfect condition. I find that I have to wait 3-4 seconds before the blade is running fast enough to start the cut. They stood up well to all the student use and abuse, which speaks well to the durable construction.I purchased a reconditioned unit for a few reasons: 1) It was only about $100 more than a smaller, less capable unit. That doesn't sound like a lot, but that'll add up quickly when you're trying to make a bunch of cuts for molding or whatever it is you're working on.
Adjusting the miter or bevel is very easy using either the locks or the free adjustment.The one down side that I found to this machine, and it's a minor point, is that the blade takes a little longer than I'd like to spin up to speed. I checked how square the unit was and the fence-to-blade measurement was dead on. The horizontal handle is very comfortable to use. Let me start by stating that I've only had this unit for about 3 weeks now. 2) I don't plan on using this in a production capacity. It's heavy, so if you have a bad back like I do, have help when the package arrives. This is a 12" blade, so it's going to take a little more torque to crank up. I'm using the DeWalt blade that came with the saw, and it cuts very cleanly.
I've used DeWalt miter saws in a workshop where I took some classes and loved the units. It's ready to use right out of the box. This is the reason I gave this unit 4 out of 5 stars. The table-to-blade measurement was off by just a little bit, but was very easy to adjust.Using the saw is very nice.
