Cuts straight and cleanly
The tool cuts straight, precisely, and very cleanly, even at very large thicknesses, but you need to use an angle to ensure the accuracy of the vise. I have had the device for 3 and a half years, and I carry the device over its capacity. It is excellent and I rely on it, and it is superior to other well-known brands.

Doesn't cut straight
Doesn't make straight cuts, it walks away from you even with a small amount of pressure. Slight pressure and you can see the disc bend away from the original entry cut. I should have researched before I purchased - the whole point of buying a chop saw was to help make straight cuts faster.

Does not cut square
Overall the motor and base feels like it has good quality to it. If you need straight or accurate cuts this is not the product for you. Blade wobble and deflection is very real with this product. I do not recommend beyond consistent very rough cuts.

not good
the display model was nice. Mine had to be returned and exchanged because the guard was made wrong and would catch in the blade slot and not retract. 2nd one not much better and wont cut square even after using an angle gauge to dial the back vice in. e slot and not retract. 2nd one not much better and wont cut square even after using an angle gauge to dial the back vice in. Quality definitely seems lower than other DeWalt chop saws I have used. Judging by the stickers, it looks like manufacturing changed countries. It seems corporate profits were put ahead of quality again. You can do better than this DeWalt!

WON'T CUT SQUARE
The rear gate does not lock well into place and will not stay square. The motor mount won't stay square also. Nice motor and blade safety.

Doesn't cut straight. Hub off-center, vibrates
This doesn't cut straight at all. The hub isn't centered so it vibrates really bad and has enough play that the blade can bend away from the part. See attached photo of an attempted straight cut...

DeWalt
This device is a working donkey, it performs the most difficult tasks, I cut a piece of solid steel with a thickness of 10 cm. Before this device, I had a device from a well-known company that did not last for several weeks and burned, and I also looked at a device from another well-known company, but not the quality of this product. It really is a device that deserves appreciation, and before this appreciation for the company that made such a device, it is a distinctive mark DeWalt

Very Disappointed
My first test was cutting 3 inch wide 3/16 inch thick steel angle. The blade that comes on the saw is too thin and weak. By the time it reached the bottom of the cut, it had extreme side deflection resulting in cutting into the saw base plate and unintended angled cuts. I replaced the thinner blade with a thicker 1/8 inch one and experienced extreme wobble and the saw vibrating across the floor. Neither blade would successfully cut through the steel because the motor kept bogging down to almost zero rpm. 3 cuts took me 2.5 hours and I had to finish the parts with my angle grinder that had no trouble at all. I am returning this saw.

Decent build quality, but cuts aren't square
I purchased this just last weekend. Looks nice, decent enough quality, vice clamp is good. Fence and lock down design could be better. I returned to lowes because the cuts are not even close to being square and blade wobble and deflection is horrible. Tried making cuts slow, extra slow, medium speed. I even went and purchased a different blade with the same results. I didn't expect perfect cuts but these were not acceptable for a dewalt product. I've always been pleased with dewalt products from the table saw, drills, 1/2" impact, miter saw, jig saw, blower, trimmer and pole saw.

Does The Job
I've had this saw for about 5.5 years and no problems yet. This is a good saw. Plenty of power. Good features. It turns out I don't use the quick change blade system that much because the blades last quite a while. But I use the quick change fence enough that i wouldn't want to use a saw without it. Maybe a non quick change fence would stay in one place a little better though. If you clamp your piece too tight it can push the fence back and sometimes mess up the angle. But if that happens, it only takes a couple seconds to put it back (instead of a couple minutes). I think if i didn't have the quick change fence, i would avoid adjusting it whenever possible. The quick release screw is also a must have. There is a couple things this saw won't do very well. It's not the saws fault, it's just the nature of an abrasive type chop saw. The discs can deflect so it doesn't always cut super strait. You will learn ways to minimize this issue though. Also the disc needs to have a certain amount of PSI on the metal before it can cut it. If the disc is in contact with to much surface at once it wont cut. This makes cutting large solid bars (1.5" thick or more), and thick plates (1/4" or more) that are too tall to be clamped vertically(so it can be cut on the edge), difficult to impossible to cut. Although most of the time you can get around this by rotating or moving the piece so it can start cutting in a different spot. If you have to cut a lot of heavy material you might want to get a cold saw instead.
