Title: Great saw
Review: This is definitely an improvement over the older model it replaces. It packs more power and I like that. We also got the Makita 2414b which has a double pivot cutting arm. ( not the 2414nb) It cuts faster because of that mechanism. Other than that using the saws is about the same . They both have plenty of power.They have quick release material clamps. The Dewalt has a horizontal handle whereas the Makita is angled. I think I like the Dewalt handle better. All the other chop saws seem to be made in Taiwan. If I could only have one I would go with the Makita.I really like that double pivot mechanism. It lets you rock the whole cutting head back and forth to engage the workpiece at differing angles giving both a cleaner and faster cut. If you really want a nice saw get a dry cut saw. They run at much lower RPMs and use a carbide blade to give the fastest and cleanest cut available today.
