I bought this mitre saw in June 2014, and I remodeled my basement with it. It it sturdy and it works great kzbin.infoUgkxKL3MYO42eA2JbKxs7_Q0tmRGZI4Ow4Ar . There's not a lot of extra play in the adjustments and it is definitely well built. It is lighter than higher-end sliding double bevel models, so I can move it myself, which is nice. When I had to cut 2x10 lumber, I had to flip the boards over and cut twice; but since most of my cutting was on smaller dimension lumber, the weight reduction and significantly lower price seemed to be a better trade off for the boards I did have to flip. Late in the project, I was able to borrow a DW718, and the sliding feature does make fast work of 2x10s, but it is a tank, and I stand by my choice of the DW715. I also added a laser guide (one of the arbor replacement style sold on Amazon), which is nice to have, but definitely not needed.

Great video. I plan to build a similar setup but a bit wider. I don't plan to plane the 2x4s down as it doesn't add any value and I don't plan to do lap joints as glue and screw is good enough to support the table saw.

I like the concept of a combination chop bench and outfeed table but I would make it a bit wider so that the chop saw can remain on the bench while using the table saw.
