Couldn't do without it

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.

Quality Product !

I decided to built a work bench using 2x4 and 2x6's. Using this DeWalt Miter saw gave me quick precise cuts, plenty of power to make smooth quick cuts. 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.]

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.]

I was impressed with how smooth the saw operated and the quality of the hardware gives this saw a very solid feel. The dust collection, paired with an adequate dust collector is quite impressive.

Needs work, but a decent product worth a look.
Rating: 4
While it seems the overall quality and attention to detail has diminished quite a bit in this brand (formerly known as Hitachi), this saw does not disappoint in power and features. There are several accuracy issues as well as play in the stop locks for the bevel that definitely need to be addressed as well as some incredibly sloppy welds/joins in the saw that I wish they would have cared to cleaned up, however, as companies race to compete with each other and their own bottom line due to rampant greed and not giving any actual care about the end user/consumer, I sincerely doubt those issues will ever be addressed by any company, let alone Matabo HPT. So, for the price tag, it could and should be of a be MUCH better build with MUCH better accuracy and less play in the stop points with MUCH better attention to overall detail and design. That said, when compared to similarly priced items touting the same 'bells and whistles'', it's more than a decent choice, it's about the best choice out there. Only time and use will tell if this will hold up to the sands (saw dusts?) of time like my 1951 Craftsman 10" table saw has, but what can you expect nowadays as companies give more cares about their bottom line over creating a truly lasting, quality product.

metabo 10" sliding compound miter saw
Rating: 4
so far so good only problem is adjusting laser . seems to be very accurate out of the box cuts very smooth and a like sanded finish. disappointed that it did not have a soft start motor that was noted in some reviews if it did i would give it 5 stars

Great saw
Rating: 4
1. The motor is strong. 2. The blade is sharp and has cut through the pine I've been using like butter. 3. The laser is bright and alignment is easily adjusted. 4. The slide is easy to maneuver and use. The operation is not as smooth as another saw I evaluated. 5. For the price an excellent value. I would buy again.

Outstanding saw!
Rating: 4
This saw is very well designed and the build quality is excellent. It is a pro tool at a DIY price. True cuts, detents are great, angle locking systems are superb! Laser is accurate and easy to adjust. No complaints so far!

10 inch sliding miter saw
Rating: 4
Went with the 10 inch instead of the 12 because it fits better in my shop. True out of the box, just doesn't have the feel of my 15 year old Delta that it replaced. Getting the job done after I upgraded the blade.

Input/Thoughts on Purchase
Rating: 3
A few things related to the saw. The saw has nice features but I found that the sliding bars are rusting quite rapidly which only means that over time the glide bushings will wear and the saw will become very hard to adjust properly. Secondly the scale that is on the front of the saw is off on one side by at least 1.5 to 2 degrees (one used for angle cuts). The machined detents seem to be better at holding the angle. Third, the bevels are difficult to adjust accurately. I tried setting up +/- 45 degrees and it's difficult to get it within 1-2 degrees repeatably.

I really wanted to Love this saw, but .....
Rating: 2
I really wanted to love this saw. It was awesome until I realized the miter fence was not straight. I mean, this thing was bad! The left side fence did not align with the right side fence. The fence is a one piece casting and there's no way to fix it. Where's the Quality Control at Metabo - or whomever makes this product for them? They must have been asleep the day my saw was assembled. I'm a Product Manager for Fortune 500 manufacturing company and one thing I know is that Quality Control is paramount to having a successful product which leads to product sales growth. When I contacted Metabo Customer Service, they just told me to return the saw to the retailer. So, that's what I did and I did NOT purchase another Metabo saw. I paid the extra $100 and bought a 12" Dewalt.
