The DeWalts are both designed to have plenty of room behind for the slides. This means you can put it basically all the way back against the wall if you have dust extraction or a hose instead of the stupid bag. If you plan to use it in the garage/workshop, you can lock the slides either all the way back, all the way forward, or at any point between (to limit the slide to a certain amount). They are far out of my price range and probably overkill for a DIYer like myself. I can't vouch for the accuracy of any of the saws since I haven't attempted crown moulding or the like as of yet.īasically, what it comes down to is which saw is going to be better, and if it is the DeWalt, should I cough up the extra $75 over the others?Īlso, please don't comment that I should buy the Bosch ($600) or the Festool ($1300). I was very pleased with the power and features for the money, but I have heard that they are not the most precise, and they have significantly less cutting capacity than the Dewalt. But my father-in-law has the Hitachi, which I've used to help him build a deck. Virtually all of my power tools are Dewalt and they have always served me well, so I have a lot of trust in the brand. The Hitachi C12RSH is the other option, which I can also grab for around $360. The Dewalt 780 is the latest-and-greatest model, and can be had for around $440.
Home Depot has the Dewalt 718 for $400, which I can score for an additional 10% off. I've narrowed it down to basically 3 saws.
I HATE buying the same tool twice, so I would rather do a little market reseach to make sure I'm happy with my purchase. is to reseach what I want, and purchase good quality tools that I will enjoy for many years. I want it to be powerful and accurate and not leave me wanting more. This saw will not see the kind of industrial use that a contractor would use it for, but it will be used for cutting baseboards, trim, building a deck, framing, laminate flooring and pretty much anything else I can throw at it. I've been working metal for years, but my girlfriend and I have just bought our first home and it is a real fixer-upper. I'm a beginner woodworker with above average mechanical skill and attention to detail. Before I begin, a little background about myself and what I'll be using it for. With the Holidays right around the corner, I'm in the market for a sliding compound miter saw (SCMS).
