noops Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 So basically I picked up a Dewalt tough case kit on clearance for cheap figuring I could sell the kit, and keep the case for free. I've been offered a C10FSH as trade for a Dewalt 3spd premium brushed, brushed impact, flashlight, charger, 4Ah and 2Ah batteries. I've been looking around for a miter saw. I want something decent that will cut true as I plan on building more stuff for my yard and for the house too. Is that a decent saw? Should I hold out for more? He says it's only been used lightly for 1 project while his was getting fixed. I'm not against the trade but I don't want a crap saw either. So what say you? I'm typically team red tho I do have a couple yellow things and sometimes the Germans have a good idea tho more corded doodads. So what say you?

JimboS1ice Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 That appears to be an older model, personally, now this is just me, I would like to have a 12in, just because your never know when you might want that extra capacity. I'm not a huge fan of tool trades, but again this is just me, if you don't need that dewalt kit I guess it's not a terrible trade, I would assess your needs.

KnarlyCarl Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 This is the at my father in laws (terrible pic I know, all I have on my phone right now) it does good, and I like the laser on it. I had to dial in the miter detents, because it wasn't set true out of the box. Check for true and put a good blade on, you're not going to be impressed with the saw but its nice overall Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffmcmillan Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 If you're building stuff for your yard, you'll want to cut 4x4s and that really requires a 12 inch saw or at least a 10 inch sliding. You also want more power for that application because green lumber can put enough friction on the side of a blade to bog down weaker saws with an uncoated blade.

kruton Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 Have you checked out the saw to see if truly has light use? One project for some people could be a pretty tough job. I would probably hold out, but that is just me. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmikez Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 I agree with Kruton hold out for awhile save some more money and get what best fits your needs without leaving yourself wanting more, I have the dewalt dws780 and absolutely love it! The cod lighting system works awesome though it is a beast of a machine I don't think I'll need anything else in the near future and I did just like your doing saving and selling tools I didn't need to get it, it took awhile but it was all worth it.
