Bought this for my friend for his birthday, and he loves it. Father-in-law was a little jealous, even. :) Built solid, but light enough to move around for projects. Easy to use kzfaq.infoUgkxPeGkHOMe05FySypTOvYumxMn-xi39oRe and makes great precision cuts. Doesn't come with a laser mount, but the fence is straight as an arrow and if you measure carefully, it's not a problem. Can handle dimensional lumber with ease, but of course, there's a limit to how thick. Handled a 4x4" post without a problem, but 4x6" we had to flip and cut twice. Only thing we've noticed is make sure to tighten the nut that holds the saw blade when you take it out of the box and maybe check up on it occasionally. For some, this is probably a no-brainer, but we neglected to do this and a few months in, found the motor running but the blade spinning at about half speed or less. Tightened the nut, and problem was solved. Very happy with this purchase. Dewalt makes sturdy stuff.

Looks like your glued parts came apart when you inserted a screw to hold the t-track.

Can I ask what the purpose of the blue strip of aluminium is for? Any tips for the slight bit very annoying wobble in the guide slot?

Best thing to do with that DW mitre gauge is to put it in the garbage and make fixed 90 and fixed 45 using some hardwood offcuts. Basically make your own slide and thoroughly fix a cross piece to it. Needs some skill and thought but the angle won't slip part way through a cut like the DW mitre gauge does.

Your info was great but please lower the music. Also it doesn't match theme of the information. I've been in the video production business for 40 years, and this is only meant as constructive criticism. I loved the upgrade

Hi Thanks for the video, so this will restrict your miter gauge only for 90 degree cuts, right? It would be cool to see the thing in action for a little bit at the end.

If I was to make an angle cut, I just use my miter saw. You could also make another miter gauge for angled cuts.

Why would you glue the boards and THEN screw them together? As others have said, without addressing the sloppy fit of the gauge in the DeWalt track, you have built in errors.

Seems kind of like putting lipstick on a pig Since you didn’t address the sloppy fit of the mitre gauge in the tabletop grooves. Otherwise it’s a nice upgrade...does it still store with the saw

Ya that was Dewalt big mistake with this saw. I have no solution other than what I have seen other guys do... which is just putting painters tape on the miter gauge. It does not store on the saw once you put the larger push surface.
