Summary: This saw is junk
Comments: I could not make a review without any stars however I would have to give this saw ZERO STARS. I have been in the construction business for 40 years and purchased on of the 1st electric miter boxes Rockwell 9". I had 27 men working at1time and we probably have used e brand size and style of miter saw made (exept Hatachi and Craftsman - toy miter saws). Usually haveing 4 or 5 going constantly all day, on wood, metal, and plastic. This is the worst of all of them. It has been used on 3 jobs and has had the motor replaces twice...uh..that is once after each job. It was never used for anything however its intended use and not hard or long .....last time we were needing it on a job, the lead man said he could do it better with a makita 12" circular saw.. and it may have seemed a little slower until you take in account, I did not have to take it for repairs or pay for a third motor. I think it will make a great boat anchor. I am not prejudice I have many Dewalt tools however this is1not to purchase. hw |

Summary: My DeWalt Saw
Comments: I had been eyeing this product in the stores for years, however could never afford it. Then Amazon.com offered it at an unbeatable price.
I have had the saw about2years now and I must say it is worth e penny I spent on it. I am an amateur woodworker and the precision this saw gives me is superb. Moreover, it is flexible in its set-ups allowing me to do things I couldn't imagine doing2years ago.
As always, Amazon.com made the process easy and quick.

Summary: Saw is indespensibl;e
Comments: I purchased my DW708 at the start of a home renovation project that was alalmost all 4 years in duration. The saw was indispensable due to the detailed trim work with large crown and other moldings. The saw was so impressive2men on my crew purchased their own. The time and money I saved was significan not. The saw has been reliable and has stayed in balance. The saw is a bit heavy however I believe this only adds to its stability. My saw is still performing wonderfully after7years of use. |

Summary: Watch your thumb
Comments: I love Dewalt tools however I feel there is1minor design flaw with this saw. I have to be careful that when I grab the handle with my right hand to make a cut that I place my right thumb under the handle and not to the side. Several times, I have my thumb to the left side of the handle and it gets cut by the blade guard coming up as the saw goes down. The handle is just too close to the blade guard. |
