DEWALT Chop Saw, Quick-Change, 14-Inch, Old Model (D28715)

Fantastic product, love Dewalt

This is a beast of a chop saw I love it 😀 😍 Dewalt is awesome..

Item as described online. Seems to be well made and cuts well. Original blade is ok, but they have a little better blade, use it when replacing.

I bought this from Amazon with help from a gift card I had received. The price was very comparable to Home Depot. The first and only chop saw I had owned was a tool sale special. It lasted about 8 years. Great value for the money. Not that easy to work with.I took this out of the box and cut some 1 1/2" square tubing. I changed between the 90 degree and 45 degree cuts with ease. Much better than the standard saw I had used before. Each swap was quick and easy. Usually I would try to cut each angle separately and then change to the other to finish all cuts. This was so fast and easy to change back and forth that I cut each piece as needed.I am a home hobbyist and wanted a durable chop saw that was going to last. I feel very confident in purchasing this saw. One of the good features of the quick change back stop is being able to move it forwards and backwards on the table with ease. This is especially useful when your blade gets smaller. Some of those cuts I couldn't make with a smaller blade, I think I can now. The blade that comes with the saw is great. Fast cuts and high quality.Due to a mistake on my part, I ruined the first blade. I didn't have my metal secured and it slipped and ruined the blade. Nothing to do with the saw, just me being stupid. Changing the blade was fast and simple. No tools required. Unscrew the knob and change the blade. The knob clicks when it is tight enough going on.Overall I would highly recommend this saw. I was going to buy it at Home Depot, but a friend gave me a gift card to Amazon and I used it with some money to buy the saw. Great purchase, quick delivery and it was free shipping. Actually cost me less than at Home Depot.

Works great so far. I cut several pieces of 1/8" x 3" flat bar and it worked great. I've also cut some 5/8" rebar and 1" square tube. Worked like a charm. Easy to use, setup and move. The brace is a little weird and I am constantly check to make sure the angle hasn't changed. It might just be me, but it would be nice if it clicked into place for major cut angles.

Better quality than the Harbor Freight, Ryobi and Chicago types.

I highly recommend this saw for medium to heavy daily use if you plan on making normal angle, tubing or pipe cuts. Pros: The saw gets used daily in my shop and it keeps going and going. Easy to find a working base for it and it cuts on the floor, a table or working stand- not hard to find a small space to use it. Lightweight and locks down with a carrying handle to move around quickly. The clamp quick release is smooth and easy to use. The blade is easy to switch out as advertised. It is a work horse. Cons: trouble cutting some sizes on a 45-degree angle due to limitations- blocking behind 2-inch tubing is required for example. Also small, narrow trimming cuts are difficult to make. we end up using a hand held grinder for these tasks.

Works as expected. I specifically got this saw just because its a 5.5 hp saw. Dewalt has a smaller hp saw that looks exactly like it, that is a 4.0 hp, which my friends have and it is too small. I bought an aftermarket stand for it and will couple it with an outfeed table to support my workstock. Its loud, but had plenty of power to cut 1/4" with easily. I found that if I forced the cut, I got blade deflection based on how fast I tried to cut. I see that there are thicker blades out there that should reduce that, but the kerf sacrifices more material. A Laser guide would be handy to align the blade to the cut line. I got some soap pencils to mark the steel which helps. I may explore an aftermarket laser. The challenge will be to find one that is reasonable the fits a 14" saw, most are 12" or smaller. .
