Dewalt Cutoff Saw

My only gripe is that the saw creates little chips of metal when cutting. They kinda shoot out all over the place, so clean up is a pain. I'm still working on how to fix that problem.

I haven't had the blade sharpened yet. Moderate amount of use and still cuts fine.

CAVEAT:

1. It is very powerful & you absolutely MUST use the vise PLUS anything else you can to tie the work down! DO NOT TAKE SHORTCUTS! It can really grab & throw stuff - Enough to kill you or anyone in the path! I wear eye, face & hearing protection AND stand as far to the off side as I can, eyes shut, face turned away (which is probably very stupid!).

2.A new blade costs over $125.00 & are hard to find. The blades are unforgiving if you screw up the setup, etc. Bang - and your out lunch money for a month! They can be resharpened, but often in an "accident" they are bent & become so much junk.

Having had to replace a blade I wonder if my dirty, old abrasive DeWalt wasn't money better spent. That having been said I'd buy another MultiSaw tomorrow.
