It's a Dewalt, but not as good as the previous..
I've had a the previous model of this chop saw for probably 15 years that got regular use and it finally burned up on me a few months back. I bought this one hoping it would be similar. It's a far inferior product, which surprises me because I love Dewalt stuff and have tons of it. This new saw has trouble cutting through even 1/4" materials without a lot of kick back and barring down. I replaced the disc that came with it with ones I used on my old saw and it was better, but still not great. The fence I couldn't seem to get tight enough. My old one was vice-like and this one just seems to come loose mid cut. I promptly returned it and bought another brand. That's the first and only time I've ever returned a Dewalt product, as they are usually stellar tools.

Does not cut straight.
The blade seems to flex to the path of least resistance when cutting tubing. As a result, the ends are not straight. Friends who have also owned this saw experienced the same problem. Everything else seemed great about this saw. I did try different speeds of cutting - pushing hard through the cut and also barely pushing through the cut. Slower was much worse, but neither were acceptable. I have exchanged this for the comparable Milwaukee saw.

Well made
I own this and another 'off brand' chop saw. I always turn to this one. It has a strong motor and effortlessly cuts through anything I have thrown at it.
The head locks in the closed position to make carrying simple.

Quality Saw
This in an affordable, quality chop saw. Locking clamp works well, and cuts through any gauge metal like butter. I would recommend this.

Dewalt CHOP SAW
i BOUGHT THIS SAW TO REPLACE MY OLD ONE. I DO A LOT OF REPAIRS FOR LOCAL FARMERS AND PEOPLE IN MY AREA. WITH THE HIGH QUALITY AND SLIP LOCK VISE. IT MAKES IT EASY TO LOAD AND CUT THE STEEL I NEED QUICKLY. THIS SAW WILL CUT THREW MOST STEEL WITH LITTLE EFFORT, EVEN A SOLID 2 1/2 SHAFT. THIS IS A MUST HAVE ITEM IN MY LINE OF WORK.

used it for over 3 years
Great machine, doesn't bog down too much and has great power to cut through the thickest steel. I have owned and used it for over 3 years. It sits out in the hot arizona sun (poor thing) and it has held up VERY well. This is not a cheap saw by any means.
A word of advice... Dewalt cut off wheels will last 3 times longer than china made cutoff wheels.

dewalt d28715
Just replaced my D28700 with this model. Love the handle. Has a quick change blade that's easy to use. thicker blades are available for less deflection when cutting. Has a little more power than than the 28700 for just a few bucks more. Probably the best thing next to a cold saw.

DEWALT Chop saw
I BOUGHT THIS SAW ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND THIS SAW HAS BEEN PUT TO THE TEST IN MY SHOP. I DO A LOT OF METAL FABRICATION SO THIS SAW GETS USED, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS DEWALT TO ANY OTHER SAW ON THE MARKET. I USE LOTS OF DEWALT TOOLS AND THEY HAVE NEVER LET ME DOWN IN MY WORK.

easy use
I've used the chop saw at Disney World and it consistently provides a straight cut, it is easy to bring down to cut, and it stores with no hassle!
