Negative Positive
Title: dissapointed
Review: I sold my Makita(doh!) Ls1013 which was a nice saw, exept for the fenceAnd bought the Dewalt 718. I had read the reviews on the 708 and figured the new 718 would be as nice a saw, wrong! The saw is really chunky, all the controls look un refined and for the price I would expect a better finish. I used the saw for about 6 or 7 months and could not get accurate 45s, the clamp block that locks in angles other than the preset ones broke and the fence is not easy to adjust because there is a groove milled into the table that it sits in and adjusting the detent plate is a pain unless yo uhave a star driver on hand.Dust collection sucks!Bottom line, buy a makita, or if you want a 12" look at the Metabo KGS 305 I just bought one and am Very impressed with fit and finish, it has marks for pitch cuts for cutting rafters and a lever for setting at any angle for repeat cuts.
Is the review positive or negative?
