I'm not a professional, I'm just a homeowner who appreciates quality tools, but it seems they got all the details right on this saw. Miter and bevel were perfectly aligned out of the box, which I checked with my triangle and with some test cuts. Getting it out of the box was easy too, thanks to the carrying handle on the saw head which is very solid and close to the center of balance. (Usually with big items like this you have to figure out how to get your hands underneath it and then hold the box down while you get it out.) The locking pin which keeps the saw head down when you're carrying it can be slid in and out easily but has no problem supporting the weight, while the spring that raises the head prevents the pin from sliding out accidentally. There are also good hand holds on each side of the base with rounded edges so they don't dig into your hands.
Bevel stops at 0 and 45 degrees make it easy to switch between common angles, but can be slid back after loosening a screw to allow a few more degrees either way when you need to compensate for other cuts that were a little off (made by someone else, of course). There's also a flip-out stop for 33.9 degree bevel which is also solidly made. The bevel locking knob-thing is nice and big, making it easy to grip and turn. The adjustable fence can be quickly adjusted with a single knob, but is still very sturdy when tightened down.
Miter adjustment is rock solid. The quick detents have no wiggle room at all, and the detent override makes it easy to adjust to any angle. The simple push-down miter lock is easy to use, and once locked I was unable to force it slip to either side.
The dust bag collects a bit over half of the sawdust, and as a result fills up pretty quickly. I'm planning to get an adapter so I can connect my shopvac to the dust outlet. If you're wondering, the dust port is 1.5" O.D.
Everything about this saw is sturdy, and all the adjustments can be made with very little effort. It's also a little quieter than I expected, which is nice. You can't go wrong with this saw.
GREAT SAW February 28, 2007

I've had this saw for almost a year now and can still recommend this tool as a great purchase. Despite the 12" size, its remarkably light and portable which is a major plus as I don't have a workshop so I have to pull it out and set it up each time. Plenty of power. The miter stops are solid and extremely easy and accurate. I put on a Frued blade to take care of the molding work I mostly do and the results are always gratifying (when I measure twice). I purchased the Irwin laser for $25 and that works great as well.
no complaints! March 9, 2007

Many people have beat up the yellow saws. I don't understand the psychology of DeWalt hate. This has been a fine saw. The blade is fine for construction work and eats 2x4's. I put a 80 tooth on it for finer work and it is spectacular. Out of the box it could have been ready to go, but I'm not one to expect perfection after mfg and shipping. To make this a really good saw, I screwed on a Dewalt 36-136 miter stand (I'm not worried about clashing colors!)

Mine is a couple years old now and has had no problems.
Once you get the fence set to square with the blade, if stays there pretty well. The miter rotation is easy to move and is quite accurate for most all projects, including frames.
The blade that comes with the saw isn't the greatest for fine woodworking, but is acceptable if you move the cut slowly. Certainly, a higher quality blade can be purchased if needed.
I mostly use mine for rough crosscuts on longer boards and some small frames. Truthfully, I like using the table saw for very precise angle cuts, but that's my fault with not getting it set up to near perfection, not the machine's.
One star off of perfect due to lack of quality dust collection. I don't know if anyone makes one that has good collection. Maybe the Kapex?

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.
