Bought this for my friend for his birthday, and he loves it. Father-in-law was a little jealous, even. :) Built solid, but light enough to move around for projects. Easy to use kzbin.infoUgkxPeGkHOMe05FySypTOvYumxMn-xi39oRe and makes great precision cuts. Doesn't come with a laser mount, but the fence is straight as an arrow and if you measure carefully, it's not a problem. Can handle dimensional lumber with ease, but of course, there's a limit to how thick. Handled a 4x4" post without a problem, but 4x6" we had to flip and cut twice. Only thing we've noticed is make sure to tighten the nut that holds the saw blade when you take it out of the box and maybe check up on it occasionally. For some, this is probably a no-brainer, but we neglected to do this and a few months in, found the motor running but the blade spinning at about half speed or less. Tightened the nut, and problem was solved. Very happy with this purchase. Dewalt makes sturdy stuff.

Looking forward to your feedback on trim where accuracy is really king (especially on bevel cuts). Honestly, for just cutting lumber a lot of (cheaper) saws are accurate enough. Indeed, a lot of small jobs involve trim so if it works for it without curved cuts (as you mentioned with its big brother) and has good repeatability, and easy adjustment (a shame the only stop on the bevel is 45 and the bevel gauge looks small), it could be worth it.

Nice saw. To me that would be a neat little finishing saw. Ten times better than the Milwaukee toy. The Dewalt Flexvolt 12 inch you mentioned is the only battery drop saw I have used it is my mate's only saw. Super heavy twin batteries plus AC adaptor but does everything. For me I'll stick to what I know and all there was years ago the fixed 10 inch electric. My old Dewalt does everything and I would buy another and quite cheap. Sliders scare me even after more than 40 years as a Carpenter. Never lay a saw over for angle cuts just grab a circular saw. Again old habit before we had drop saws. Ran Makita drop saws for many years. The old ones were heavier and lasted. As they got lighter they got more fragile and didn't. My current Dewalt is heavy and solid as. So far so good. I'm not good with chincy easy breakable plastic bits because I break them straight up. Hence no Festools for me.

But was in Mitre 10 and checked it out because it was local and noticed they offer price matching guarantee and further 15% , didnt think they would honour it but tried it on, cheapest price online $764, so they took a further 15% off , so paid $650 instread of close to $900.

@@tysonfoster7223 setting up a saw bench for a drop saw; I don't see setting up a lead as a problem- lots of places WHS now want an extractor on the saw, so its lots of batteries to run both the xtractor/saw approx.3000w that uses batteries fast. Then you need the lead to charge batteries anyhow! I find I am doing things as simple as possible nowadays to minimise setting up, like using just a powersaw to cut weatherboards instead of using the dropsaw, it all comes back to how good the operator is in the end. People have a tendency to complicate simple things, its insecurity in the mind. So for what most people really want the quick little dropsaw for, the older makita18v 7 and 1/4 dropsaw (DLS713Z- 11kg) does that job spot on, pity it doesn't swing both ways on the compound cut, but again you can just do the cut upside down anyway. I use a LS1013 255mm saw if I set up a bench, buy one lightly used by a DIYer is the best way to go for pro-chippies- I paid $300 for mine perfect condition, I just keep watch for a bargain these days. I work to earn money, not burn money! Say that if I was super rich idiot DIYer I buy the Hikoki 7 1/4, just to be a fcukwit! and have like 3 different brands of batteries, 3 different sizes and blame the apprentice when there are no battery fully charged for the tool being used.

The price is a killer on the 40v I have the impact combi and sds but have the 110v 216 makita chopsaw but I’m not sure if the 40v chopsaw price warrants the portability when you have an apprentice 😂😂

Great video as always! this probably a long shot, but could you possibly show how you attach timber or ply sheets to your roof rack? i just recently added a roof rack to my van and cannot find a clear guidance how to do it. keep up with this quality of video and work!

Comment from a Carpenter in AU! - Makita made a huge mistake with 40v over 36v and the capability to use the 18v tools with the battery platform- Hikoki has made the smarter move in this regard(BUT $2600 FOR A 180MM CORDLESS DROPSAW???? YEAH NAH!!). This is a kick in the guts to Makita owners as they'll be toting 2 separate battery platforms for onsite set up(3 including the paslode guns). I have AEG cordless and run a ls1013 plug in droppie as its hugely more cost effective then either of the 2 big Japanese Corps who's stuff is now made in china anyhow. The smart move is to wait for now, to see more players enter the higher voltage arena - at this point Dewalt is the best value in its 54v. platform for an onsite carpenter buying a full kit(the 185mm cordless powersaw is a tad heavy). I will wait till my AEG batteries start to falter before I make that big outlay- drill /ratchet driver/powersaw/reciprosaw/multitool/jigsaw/82mmPlaner/sds drill/router trimmer/blower/light panel, cordless compound mitresaw/cordless ripsaw....... it looks to be over $8000 atm for that kit in either makita or hikoki. See what goes down in the next couple of years development wise before I burn my hard earned bucks on work tools.

Hey Scott, like the snickers, didn’t think you could get them in New Zealand! 🤷🏼♂️

Nice review SBC but in Norway this saw will cost around 11-13.000 NOK (17-2100 NZD) when in stock. I think I will just stick to my old Bosch saw ... with a cord :) Anyways; I love your vidoes. Keep up the good work!

Interestingly, product placements or similar sponsorships in TV shows don't have to be disclosed (at least in the US). It's a two-tiered system, protecting old media and trying to make new media look shady. Yes, there's serious irony there.
@DiscoFang3 жыл бұрын
The difference is that the average consumer/viewer is aware that products shown or demonstrated on tv will be sponsored. And where it’s unclear, they actually DO have to disclose it. With the birth of social media and the way it’s is presented as self-published, “reviews” can be - and usually were - completely independent. Unfortunately “influencers” were manipulating that and had to be reminded that commercial advertising is commercial advertising. Misleading the consumer has always been against the law. Advertising standards are very strict both here and the US. (I’ve been a builder essentially since a kid but my uni degree is graphic design & advertising)

Hi scott another cracking video!! Would it cut a 95x14mm skirting board upright?
@NeilDunlop3 жыл бұрын
It can. It'll do it at 45 to the left too but, for a 45 to the right, you have to nip the board right where the cut should end or it fouls and the blade doesn't go completely through.

Hi Scott, could you let me know what is the dimension precisely from a very base of the saw to a very top of the handle in a folded/transport position. Trying to see if folded will fit a small truck bed under hard tonneau cover. Thank you kindly.
