I purchased this saw expecting it to replace my radial arm saw.  I discovered a manufacturing defect after using the saw.  The sliding rails are not aligned with the saw blade.  Whenever, I used the slide feature for boards wider than 4", I'd get chipout and/or burned edges on the wood. I reported the problem to DeWAlt and they suggested that I take the saw to one of their authorized repair centers for evaluation.  After 3 weeks and 3 trips to the repair center they decided there was no way to adjust for this problem.  The manager said he would recomend to DeWalt that it was a manufacturing defect because the yoke was machined inproperly and see if they would pay to repair the defect.  Guess what?  Not a word from the repair center or from DeWalt.  I'll never again buy anything with the DeWalt name on it and if you are considering this saw look further. If you are gong to use this saw for anythig other than cutting 2x4 for home construction you won't be happy with this saw.
