“Right out of the box the saw was dead on, I replaced the old pine base, doors and shoes with Oak in three bedrooms with six closets, as well as the hollowcore doors with six panel oak. I did not have to make any adjustments to the saw as it was perfect out of the box. it. made a tedious project much easier.”
Herbert Lindberg, Amazon Customer Review
“Well, I don;t use the saw myself, my husband does. But he is thrilled with it. We’ve only had it a couple of months and thus far I’ve gotten some gorgeous compost bins and a chicken tractor out of it, so I am pretty darn happy. and my husband loves it.
This was an excellent deal when we got it, and my husband really likes DeWalt tools – he says it’s worth a little more for better quality. But we always seem to find amazing deals, so we’re not really even paying more. WIN!”
