Not sure if HD caries them but I would recommend the Bosch brand. |

I think they do, but just got back with a new Dewalt power miter box. My buddy has one and I like it. |

I bought a DeWalt table saw when they went on sale for Christmas. Ripped a treated 2x4 really fast without slowing down at all. Ellis |

Don't know if you're military or not, but HD has a 10% military discount.
All you need to do is show proof of current or former military service and you get 10% off. Any day of the week. You might have to ask for it. |

Overall I'm not a fan of DeWalt but I like their compound power miter saws the better than any other brand. Which model did you get? |

Those are great saws. Before using double check the 90 and 45 degree angles with a good square and adjust if needed. They are accurate saws. They've had some problems with the XPS system failing. I think you'll enjoy it. |

I think you got a heck of a deal on a good saw. I have had several miter saws over the years. I like the Dewalt the best. The handle and quick change angle works better on the Dewalt.
You will get a lot of good service out of that saw. |

Congrats! That's a great saw! A little more user friendly than my 718 and 705 models. It should serve you well for many years. |

I have a rigid 12" slider, have had it for about 10 years. Does a lot of sawing! At the time, mine had the biggest width spec, of the class, don't know whether that has changed, or not. Where do you get coupons, that last 3 years? |

Goose mentioned that Home Depot has a 10% discount for Veterans. So does Lowe"s. In fact a cashier at Lowe"s is where I found out about it.
