5.0 out of 5 stars DeWalt DW705R - Fantastic Deal, April 18, 2001

This review is from: Factory-Reconditioned DEWALT DW705R Heavy-Duty 15 Amp 12-Inch Compound Miter saw (Tools & Home Improvement)

I bought the DeWalt DW705R to build my deck - The saw arrived in perfect condition with a new blade and owners manual right to my doorstep. I not only saved $50.00 off of retail but saved an additional $28.00 in local tax for a total savings of $78.00 with free delivery. The saw cut through 4 X 4's and 2 X 6's with very little effort and made the job a pleasure - This saw is not always available, so if you need a great saw at a bargin price - get it now.

First one arrived damaged; probably during shipping. Amazon was quick to send another. The second saw arrived in great shape. I was a little disappointed because the first one had a 60 tooth blade, but the second only had a 32 tooth. Condition of the second saw was excellent-near new.

This is a wonderful product for framing and general cross-cut work. It will handle 2x8's with ease. Additionally, it does quite well for crown molding. The positive stops are firmer than I expected, but not so much that I can't set it close to (but not actually in) a preset if needed.

I am glad I bought the saw and although it took a little longer to return the damaged one than it would have if I had bought it locally, it saved me the time of 2 trips to the city (which is 30 minutes each way) and the price of a new saw plus sales tax.

This review is from: Factory-Reconditioned DEWALT DW705R Heavy-Duty 15 Amp 12-Inch Compound Miter saw (Tools & Home Improvement)

Over the years, I ve built 10 decks and probably 20 miles of 6 foot privacy fencing. I've always been stuck with a little 7 1/4 inch chop saw and a circular saw doing these projects. I bought the DeWalt 705R locally and I'm in love with it. When you start this saw up you feel the power and torque to cut 2 X 8's, 4 X 4 posts ACCURATELY over and over.
I've used the saw to build frames for work benches and shelves. The time saving alone is worth the price.
Another reviewer stated that his DW705R felt like a factory new item and I most certainly agree. You will spend some extra money on the accessories. But they improve the saw immensly - the extension length stop a material clamp are MUST HAVES imho.
I went from feeling like I'd been using "toys" to build with to proud to have bought such a powerful saw.
