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.

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.]

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.]

I have a table saw and never realized what I was missing in saw work until I purchased the sliding dual saw. The things I can do now is 100% more wood cutting.

We have a few mitre saws in the shop. Now that we have the Hitachi, it's the go to saw. Literally leaves the other in the saw dust!

This saw is REAL! Power, accuracy right out of the box!
Rating: 5
I'm impressed it came with a laser sighting option the only disappointment I have with the tool is that the laser sighting have to be turned on manually and multiple cuts it's fantastic I use it I don't use the laser quick cuts because accuracy is so good in the stand that I bought is a Hitachi also and that is fantastic I highly recommend stand and the product I've been cutting everything from six by sixes which from the product standard says it can't be cut !This tool exceeds in quality and Value! $

It's a great saw for the price. In my opinion I think its better then the yellow one. Right to roll right out of the box. Setup was a breeze.

Great Saw

Opened the box, followed the set-up instructions, and started making accurate cuts and miters. I used the saw to make cuts in hardwood flooring and miter cuts in trim work in my new house. The only issue I have had is the guard sometimes does not retract all the way on mitered cuts. Great Saw!

Great for work around house
Rating: 4
The saw was well packaged and all cut angles were correct, right out of the box. The use of the saw is easy and intuitive, allows the DIY'er to start using it almost immediately. Laser is a nice addition. Only criticism that I can offer is that the sawdust bag seems relatively useless, so could use some redesign.

Good value
Rating: 4
The saw is powerful and accurate. The stops are dead on. The laser is basically useless. It moves too much and doesn't say zeroed. This is the best sliding compound miter saw for the price. I give it 4 1/2 stars.
