3.0 out of 5 stars Expensive, but it works, July 18, 2000

By	Rabblewitz (Macedon, NY USA) - See all my reviews

I must agree with the above reviewer in that this item costs too much. Still, I don't know where I could get the same sort of thing elsewhere. It is a "must have" item if you also want to use the DW7051 Length Stop, as it attaches to this unit. The price is probably about right if DW7051 and DW7050 were sold together as one kit. I won't go so far as to tell you not to buy this, because it's useful. Just be aware that if your do, your paying a premium to DeWalt!

One thing to note. The nuts are metric. I have metric sockets, but not wrenches. To tighten the nuts into place, you need to put a wrench on the rods themselves, which again, are cut metric. I made due with a "normal" (my point of view) wrench, but it didn't grip the part firmly.

4.0 out of 5 stars Above Average AND a Safety Accessory, October 7, 2002

By	H. Row "in1ear" (Arvada, CO United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Expensive? Yeah. but NOT as costly as cutting off a thumb or a kicked back 2 X 4. This is designed to support whatever you're cutting, so you can SAFELY keep material under control. It is well made (albeit in Taiwan) with heavy- duty parts - rods, plates and hardware. Mine came with STANDARD 1/2" SAE nuts. Try using adjustable wrenches to install the rods to the plate and the screws underneath. Also if you leave just a little looseness in the installation hardware under your saw, you can easily slide the extension in and out to accomodate your lumber. You may want to lightly lubricate the rods. If I had a complaint, it would be that this should come WITH your DeWalt miter saw instead of as an extra.

3.0 out of 5 stars Must Have, September 26, 2000

By	"pwrlftrmd" (Linden, Virginia United States) - See all my reviews

The item is expensive but necessary. The kit comes with a regular nut that attaches the bar clamp to the saw. If you substitute a wing nut, you can quickly tighten or loosen the wing nut in order to slide the unit under the saw. It is NOT METRIC! DeWalt would do well to develop a retracting system and include it when you buy the saw.
