Asked by brp January 15, 20185
AnswersNot enough
if I don't like the saw, can I return it to the store, or do I have to ship it back
Asked by todd October 18, 20124
AnswersYes you can return it to your local store with your receipt of course .because it is only sold online
How is bevel angle adjusted?
Asked by Red Hot Rider July 9, 20134
AnswersRelease a large handle at the rear of the saw and tilt the saw left or right. There is angle gauge, that once I set it properly, has proven accurate.
does this saw have a lazer for cutting precise?
Asked by elsa123 March 7, 20144
AnswersThere is not a lazer on this saw but an aftermarket lazer can be bolted on.
How do you modify the saw so the right fence will slide and what tool did you use to modify?
Asked by November 25, 20134
AnswersThe new saws do have a movable left AND right side fence.
Does this saw include a stand? If it does not, how much would the stand cost? Could it be shipped together to take advantage of the free delivery?
Asked by Monacho November 30, 20124
AnswersNo, no stand included.
What clamp wiil fit this saw? What dust part do I need to attach to hose?
Asked by November 24, 20133
AnswersIt is a rectangle fitting so the fitting may have to be made .i.d. = 1-9/16in x 4-9/16in
What is the largest straight cut (90°) this saw can preform?
Asked by lfury November 17, 20133
AnswersThe largest straight cut is 13"
Why did the price jump from $499 (not a sale price) to $649 since December 2012?
Asked by JCalifornia January 13, 20133
AnswersI think you might be looking at two different saws. The sliding saw has always been at the $649 price on every sight that i looked at, and the $499 price was a sale price from Home Depot for this saw. That is when I got it. $499 is the price of the none sliding saw.
What would be the shipping charge on this saw to my nearest store? #1122
Asked by Inletjoe September 2, 20123
Answers$0. Home depot did not charge for delivery to my local store.

Its a nice saw, mechanically it works great, real accurate. The angle meter didn't work on the first one or the second one, sent the 2nd one back. I like the saw so I will keep it, just have to send it into Milwaukee tool repair to fix the display.

First one arrived with defective LCD readout. Home Depot made for an easy exchange. Something to be said for buying from a store with a brick and mortar presence.
Regarding some of the previous complaints - a clamp comes with the saw that attaches to either side of the blade, and both the right and left fences are adjustable.
Saw cuts smoothly, in particular the rails are like glass.
I'm a weekend do-it-your-self'er, from what I can see the saw is accurate for both miter and bevel cuts from the factory. I haven't adjusted anything but it works well for me.
Very happy with the purchase, didn't see the value in bumping up to the Festool and I don't think anything else comes close. Paired with a Bosch T4B gravity rise stand and a Freud blade and it's an awesome combo.
Fantastic saw, great versatility, accurate and clean cuts. Well worth the investment.

Excellent
January 4, 2013
Accurate, smooth, powerful and easy to adjust. everything as described as well as the best warranty in the business. It is heavy, so be aware of that. Home Depots customer service is great also.
This saw is a MONSTER!
December 4, 2012
This saw is Awesome. From the digital read out to the power of the motor. It is large and heavy but sets on a very stable base. The saw was squared to the table right out of the box with the blade already on. This really was a "plug'n'go" saw. The hand grip is very comfortable and user friendly with a switch easily accessible for the LED lights. I did use the saw at night, using only the LED's to light my cut line. I was impressed. The miter has built in stops that are actually true and lock in with ZERO slop. The true power test for me was a cut across grain in a piece of 3" thick 6" wide white oak. It was like I was cutting a 1x4 piece of PINE! There was no power loss at all. It was a quick smooth cut. I've used most of the brands out there, and this is definitely the BEST.
The draw backs are: not a wide table, but due to the weight of the saw, anymore weight would not make this a portable saw. No hold downs and I wish the digital readout was on a switch, It is on the whenever the saw is plugged in.
This saw works wonderfully
October 31, 2012
We bought this saw mainly for putting in our new hardwood floors and trim. It has exceeded our expectations. I love the digital miter control, it operates smoothly, cleanly and accurately. I will using this in the future for many more projects that I thought I would not be able to construct myself.
Good Saw !!
