Couldn't do without it
Rating: 5
I have had my Dewalt Compound Miter saw for about 5 years. It is the most important wood working tool that I own. (Other than my Dewalt reciprocating saw that is a life saver for taking apart pallets. But that is another review.) I depend on it, and it has never let me down.

Having the all the quality features at your finger tips to make any adjustment's when needed. Handel grip is ergonomically designed for the larger projects, The overall design and attention to detail the designers used in making this Miter Saw really helps to make a your job a bit more safer and easier to use.

I have had this Saw for about 2 years. Reliable and accurate. I have created DIY projects and remodeled my bathroom. This saw was essential in building my new bathroom. It's also a must have if you have to do a trim project. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Love this saw!
Rating: 5
I was able to pick one of these after using a beveled miter chop saw for a while. The slide was something I was really looking forward to, plus it was an upgrade from a 10". I hadn't done the research on it, a sale opportunity popped up and a friend told me about it I had him pick it up for me and I was amazed once I finally got it set up at home. The lighted cut feature in place of a laser is incredible! I couldn't believe how much quieter it was, how smoothly it cut, how accurate the lighting "laser" thing is (cant remember what its called at the moment). All the bells and whistles really make this an amazing tool. Setting depth on the slide for repeatable cuts, just everything about this saw is great. I actually get giddy using the the thing, I enjoy it that much! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Great Sliding Miter saw.
Rating: 5
I purchased this saw for my home remodeling. I recently opened up my enclosed stair case to our second floor. This saw was instrumental in building handrails and spindles. The miters are accurate and the cuts are clean. This is one of the best tools I ever purchased. I also added the folding/rolling stand. What a great addition. It makes the saw compact and easy to store. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Durable and accurate
Rating: 5
I am a high-end custom home builder. This means I need excellent tools that can deliver consistent top-notch performance while holding up to the repeated abuse of moving from job to job. The DeWalt 12” sliding compound miter saw is the only one I use. I've had the same one for years and don't plan on getting a new one any time soon. It takes a beating and still delivers clean, accurate cuts. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Amazing saw

I got this a couple years ago as a present when I just started out woodworking and it has been a great saw! Incredibly versatile, robust, and precise. Highly recommend if you are either just starting out or have been woodworking for years [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
