Those DW-745 table saws are popular even in small workshops because of their compactness and accuracy.
For a site saw the Dewalt can be set up to give very accurate cuts in a workshop setting. Cut accuracy close to a heavy shop table saw can be achieved with some effort on setup. That said I have a Dewalt jigsaw which is an absolute pile of crap so anyone who just buys for a brand is crazy, this guy has the right idea, just get the best tool for you regardless of brand.
You do have to spend some time setting the saw up... blade, fence, etc. But once done, the saw is great. Fairly compact which is Nice ruclips.net/user/postUgkxXh-4_3-ZT1fFWP91ZV7iVqzElr0lEb-a I did get an Incra Miter Gauge which takes some setup as well. The stock miter gauge can be adjusted in the miter slot with a little painter's tape... this tightens up the side to side play a lot.
"I just like yellow eh!"... love it!
I’ve got a Dewalt table saw, but I don’t like yellow.
why on earth is watching Scott's content so addictive? found it by chance and now subscribed.
Its because his videos are relaxing, and best of all he doesn't try too hard in his videos. Some people try too hard and they can come accross as annoying. Scott is a legend 👍
BOOM!! SLOT MODE!!!! LOL. they're called detents but I will now and forever call it slot mode
Hi from Canada ,
I have 10 inch DeWalt sliding miter and I truly love it , I'm a DeWalt and craftsman ..
My dad has a 12 inch DeWalt miter saw .
And loves it .
He's a DeWalt and Makita .
Scot I have the DLS110Z 36 volt Makita chopsaw/dropsaw and believe me it’s worth getting. The dewalt stand clamps fit the saw perfectly. The cut on the saw is perfect straight out of the box it also take the six amp batteries! Go to your local tool store mate and have a play you’ll defiantly enjoying what the saw offers.👍👍👍
Go easy on clunking into the detent positions. The soft aluminium plate will wear out after a few months and you'll have sloppy positions.
Makita, Milwaukee, DeWalt...all make great tools, some better than others. I'm trying more and more to replace my corded tools for cordless and keep the corded stuff in the shop/garage. Currently have a bunch of Milwaukee stuff but my eye's keep wandering towards DeWalt and Makita. Keep up the awesome videos. Aloha from Hawaii!
I am mainly a Makita cordless guy for many reasons.. But I bought a dewalt dws715 12" miter saw and I have to say that thing is butter. Checked the blade, fence and table at 0 and 45 with a level and it was dead nuts from the factory! Wanted a 10" slider but this was all the local shop had in stock.. Love at first cut
I almost exclusively use Dewalt. Not so much for brand loyalty, more so because you have to commit to the battery platform. I do have a Makita shop vac and a Bosch table saw. Both work great. I'm happy with Dewalt, have yet to fail me.
Michael Cook there are actually battery adapters.
@@christophercrawford2736 Yah not going there, not without assurances that the manafacturer will cover the cost of the tools/batteries if they die. LiIon and LiPo cells generally communicate with the tools in regards to battery condition and have issues with differential charge, this is why the good cells are matched to others - Yes I am aware this is an over simplification but it will suffice for the non technically inclined people to understand
Justin Simmonds I Kinda figured as much but didn’t do much research into it. I definitely wouldn’t have considered it with my flex volt battery.
Christian which Dewalt vacuum did you have? I need a cordless vac and was considering Dewalt since I already have the batteries.
I have pretty much all dewalt. Mainly due to the fact that you tend to stick to one battery platform. Dewalt set the standard with the rack and pinion fence on their table saws almost 20 years ago. I have not found another brand of table saws that have liked as much. I also run the flexvolt miter saw and tablesaw. Love the versatility of being cordless. I also have a the festool track saw and domino. Love both of them.
This is quite common across the trade with most kiwi builders one way to say it is, plant ..dewalt, cordless,mobile... makita love the miter lock on the 12 inch top reason I bought it. Nice vid bro keep it up
Nice to see (@4.08) that the home owner supports your dewalt tools with matching dewalt colour wheelie bins. 😜
At minute 4:00, I noticed you turning the knob. I realized not too long ago, it’s just easier to push it by hand on the fence in the middle part of the fence. Saves time and annoyance when closing it towards the blade, cheers!
I have the same table saw, and keep it in a workshop and love it
Good to see its not just my saw that has a small cut in the back guide from putting the blade on a mitre and not extending the guides out. I use the same drop saw and table saw, really pleased with the performance. I use dewalt battery gear due to committing to it early on but I'm slowly changing over to Makita as it's just superior in terms of power, reliability and compactness.
No your not the only one both mine have too.
🤔🔋🛠️battery tools are like a marriage...
when you choose one then it is hard to change 😅💐
cheating does cost much
That's changed; there are adaptors now
@@DoodlesMcpooh Yeah, but using adapters is like converting to mormonism, everyone is secretly jealous but still think you're weird.
@@DoodlesMcpooh gotta be carefull with adapters depending on the batteries you can over discharge and brick your battery
I’m pretty much the same with my tools. Predominantly 18V Makita but my table saw and 12” chop saw are both DeWalt. Another carpenter asked me last week why I went for the DeWalt. I answered “because when I bought them 15 years ago they were the best available and, I believe, still are”. He said he’d had 3 other brands in that time. I didn’t need to say anything else. They are just so simple and unfussy to use. Exactly what you need. 👍
Hard to beat the DeWalt miter saw. Very tough, accurate cuts and ergonomic. And I love the fence adjustment on the table saws.
I have a makita electric drop saw and it’s rubbish but just bought the new 36v battery one and it’s awesome. The dewalt table saw is definitely the best
Clint Jones I also have the new makita 10 inch 36v mitre saw and love it more so than the festool kapex that it replaced.
I keep hearing very good things about the makita 36v drop saws, I have the makita 12inch corded drop saw which has always been very reliable, however its very bulky and heavy. I dread moving it around.
Sounds like the perfect combo.
My makita was bought for me by my wife! Yes my wife for Christmas. I have had a dewalt dw785 for 17 years and it still works perfectly it’s 12” blade and still cuts true.👍 as it was said they are bulletproo!👍👍
I own the dewalt dw745 table saw myself. I'm just a hobbyist woodworker and keep it in my shop. I built a table top for it to drop into, so I can cut sheets of plywood. It's the perfect setup for me, because I can take it in and out of the table.
A handy tip i picked up from a guy called Toolrev is to use the dewalt mitre saw stand as an outfeed support for the table saw, regards from killarney Ireland
Scott I probably live my life vicariously through you mate. NZ was my home away from home. Addictive content mate.
That locking system is the reason I went with a Hitachi dropsaw. Mine has a wind in lock as well as the locking points for your main angles
My reason for picking the DW745 (as weekend woodworker) was easy: the fence mechanism with those two geared rails 😍
Yeah that was definitely a big selling point for me too.
Exactly what sold that fence system was watching a 1 year in review of a Bosch XC 10 saw, and the owner claiming the fence isn't parallel with the blade anymore. I don't have time to check the fence for squareness with each cut. Such a thing I would just expect on a table saw. Only Dewalt understand this.
I use the 12v Milwaukee range, Makita 18v range and have picked up a couple of the new AEG tools. I use Bosch and Dewalt at work, I think they're great too. I can't say any one brand is better than the other. It's a tool by tool basis. I love the variety and options when you're not stuck with one brand.
I find that once you have a battery platform you generally stick to the brand due to the cost of the batteries... That being said, the best tool for the job will always be the deciding choice... Makita, Dewalt, Senco, Bosch
243WW I’m a makita man but one thing to consider is the trade your in before committing to a platform imo
@@whit6282 Yes spot on. Some brands definitely lean towards steel or wood...
243WW you can get battery adapaters if you want to get a tool of a different brand than your batteries.
Scott- I've tried many Dewalt and owned a few Makita miter saws. After many years, I've settled on the 7-1/2" Makita Miter Saw. Its only 25 lbs and its so accurate. Its one of the older models (had really bad experiences with their newest cordless miter saws having faulty results when bevel cutting) and I think they just build it better somehow. It was 100% perfectly square and blade plumbness (bevel angle) was so easy to micro adjust and fine tune to perfectly 90 with the base. For framing, we pull out the 10", but most of the time, I find myself wanting to pull the 7-1/2" when doing any trim work.
Hi started my DeWalt journey with the same drop saw and it’s been a work horse... I now have the 54 flex volt 7 1/4 sore and it’s amazing I still have some Makita gear but largely dwelt as my preferred battery tall platform
it makes sense to stick to one platform for cordless tools for the batteries, but when it comes to corded tools just get the best fit for you in that category.
Mate I’m loving how many videos your putting out a week!! Been watching since video 20!! Keep up the positive, family friendly channel buddy
Awesome, cheers bro
This was the video that got me into SBC, gurtybeats and DeWalt tools. Conversely I wasn't in the market for new tools at the time, but i've come back to this time and time again, YT must've suggested this to me somehow. Now having watched every exciting episode i'm following my dream of making youtube videos. Shot SBC
"I just like yellow mate" 😂 I can relate. It's why I get Milwaukee and craftsman 😂
I used the Black Friday/Christmas deals to get myself onto the main battery platforms (Milwaukee,Dewalt,Makita) and it’s truly a great feeling because I can now get the best available tool when I need it instead of settling for one because I have the batteries.
Ps my Hitachi circular is the best I’ve ever owned or probably used. Recommended by a retired cabinet maker !!
Tried lots of brands over the years. I run mostly Makita cordless, festool corded. Festool drills are bulky and underpowered. (Except the little 10.8 is amazing especially with right angle attachment) Makita cordless I find lighter, smaller powerful. Dust extraction, tracksaw etc is festool. I am in UK so am in and working 95% indoors, flats mostly where need great dust extraction so festool works great for me. Battery platform is what ya got is what you buy bare tools to add to. Makita has great range for that. Things change though so this will no doubt in future. Running sustainers has made my work life so much more organized which makes such as massive difference for me.
Scottish carpenter here. I chose the Makita battery platform, so almost all of my battery tools are Makita. Like you however, and for the same reasons, my mitre saw and my table saw are DeWalt. The thing I love about the DeWalt table saw is the rack and pinion fence adjustment and it's ability to swap the fence pins to the wider setting to cut wider materials. That rack and pinion adjustment is the most solid I've ever come across on a job site table saw. I'm kind of interested in their new battery operated version - but because I'm invested in Makita batteries I doubt I'll go for one - they do look pretty good, but I'm so used to buying the bare tool and using my existing batteries I'm not sure I want to spend several hundred pounds extra just for batteries. Different if I'd gone for DeWalt in the first place I reckon.
I recently brought the makita LS1019 drop saw and the lock lever broke off within a week I contacted makita Australia to get a replacement $2.70 part and was told they didn’t have any in the country and I’d have to wait till mid March to get the replacement part after numerous emails etc makita striped a tool to replace the broken lock lever which Ive been told is a common problem with these saws . I also have the makita bench saw that’s been in to be repaired twice now a lot of screws falling out and the fence not locking into place properly I have to use a clamp to hold it in place
I run dewalt 18v cordless drills, skilly ,Sabre saw etc and it has never failed me once
I switched from Dewalt to Makita when I went cordless and have not looked back. The prime reason I chose Makita was they have more of the specific tools I wanted cordless. As I’ve continued with them I find I usually prefer their ergonomics, they run smoother, and most importantly where it matters Makita usually seems to have the better accuracy.
The Dewalt miter was my biggest irritation. For really fine work, I could never calibrate it to be accurate at more than one angle at a time. The angle would even visibly skew off mid-cut, even through woods too soft for it to be the material causing blade deflection. Not bad enough to be a bother if I mostly did decks or framing where a little slop gets covered over by drywall, but for boxes with multiple complex angles or other “fine carpentry” type things it was frustrating and no way to fix. Had the same problem with both a 12” and a newer 10”.
Agree that Makita’s larger miters and table saws are large and hefty. Not a problem for me as I don’t move them out of my garage, but they aren’t good choices for job site mobility. I got the 12” slider and most recently the little 6.5” miter and couldn’t be happier. Very accurate, very smooth. Even the choice to get the Makita table saw despite most people preferring the Dewalt hasn’t come back to bite me yet...but that was a selection where I was definitely letting myself be a bit of a fanboy. Still it’s been a lot more accurate than I expected and I prefer the larger size since I don’t hardly have to move the thing. The fence has not been as awful to deal with as everyone makes it out to be but perhaps over time it will wear or something. My only gripe is the magnifier on the fence obscures which fraction of an inch you’re on especially as it gets dusty.
It’s weird to me Makita hasn’t come out with an awesome job site table saw. Usually when they go compact is when they shine. Not a tool I need but I would see it making waves if they came out with one especially cordless. Their 7.5” slider at only 30lbs seems like their take on a job site miter.
I, like you, use mostly Makita, but use a Dewalt table saw. I invested in the Makita cordless "drop Saw". It is my favoite tool hands down. You will love it if you decide to invest in one. Love your videos. Cheers.
Started out in the trade with a Dewalt drill driver combo. The chuck broke in the impact brought it back to the store and bought Milwaukee. Best choice I ever made. Love the Milwaukee stuff.
I saw a video the other day, makita £60 impact Vs Milwaukee £80 impact, both 5ah battery fully charged, the Milwaukee was a hell of a lot slower. Just shows ya. Makita is the way
Both 18v
@@saltys5528 I believe i saw that same video, thomas nagy was it? i believe the milwaukee he used is quite outdated and not their high end fuel range. I think the new makita and milwaukee impact stuff are pretty similar in terms of power. i know this because my brother has the latest makita impact and i decided to try out the gen 2 milwaukee, but turns out they're pretty similar.
It's a common problem with the Dewalt chucks. Replace the spring and it works again. I just did mine like 2 weeks ago. I have both but I prefer the dewalt power and torque rather than the Milwaukee. Feels better imo.
@@Palo-jm7xc yes, the makita was also the 2017 non brushless so was still fair
It's funny, I'm exactly the same as you. Makita everything else, but I have a DeWalt mitre saw and a future purchase will be the DeWalt table saw. Agree 100%.
The dewalt trim nail gun is awesome, had mine for about 8 years
Agree.
I rock the 305mm makita 36v drop saw and absolutely love it. Probably close to my favourite tool and love not having to run a lead any more.
the bosch dropsaws are awesome. i own 2 dropsaws from dewalt too and they have never let me down. i would use a dewalt on the job but the company uses only bosch for dropsaws.....
That is a beautiful piece of work the new makita miter box. Slides like butter. I love the big table makitas saw has. You need to give it a chance. I have the same table saw. The blade height adjusment knob always breaks. Gets hard to raise and lower. My makita miter box sits on the same dewalt stand. But I built wide boards on the end supports.
You can tighten down the clamp to stay at a certain degree. Harder to push down but yours seemed to move real easy. And every saw has its flaws.
I’m not brand loyal so much as color loyal. I just want all my tools to be yellow lol.
I chose Dewalt for 3 reasons:
1. it’s what we used when I was a roofer so I’m familiar with it
2. I wanted flexvolt stuff
3. I think they hands-down make the better miter saw and table saw.
And circular saw. Check out the max volt wormhole style circular saw from DeWalt...it's wild
Alex Pounder flexvolt means 60v tools. Way more powerful than 18v/20v tools. If you’ve ever tried 12v tools then later 18/20v, you’ll see that small difference in power. Now imagine that going to 60v. Means you can power table saws, miter saws, and compressors.
Alex Pounder when using my FlexVolt 6.0ah battery, it’ll last forever on my 20v tools. Lasts a pretty good time on my table saw too. But my new FlexVolt compressor seems to be battery hungry.
Alex Pounder 18v tools use a different connection type. The batteries work for 20v tools and can change to 60v power on the FlexVolt tools. I mostly have switched everything to cordless because I don’t have power in my apartment garage and not every job site has power.
@@christophercrawford2736 In Australia and NZ and maybe other countries the Dewalt 20v system is sold as 18v and the 60v Flexvolt is 54v. Same tools and batteries just different labels. So as long as the 18v drill is the slide battery type it will work with a Flexvolt 54/60v battery
I use whatever tool brand I can afford and whatever tool brand can do the job I ask of it.
And I use a mix of brands, from DeWalt circular saw, thickness planer to a Bosch glide drop saw, Hitachi Nailguns, to AEG power tools... to even some older Worbrandsds but the AEG is only because I am kind of locked in with the batteries.
My bigger tools ie; tablesaw and bandsaw etc are toolshed and have had no issues what so ever.
So I don't by based on the brand I buy based on can it do what I want it to do...
I had that newer Makita drop saw, it was a thing of beauty, HOWEVER, I took it back and got a refund. There is a known issue where it won't true up from a full extension back in due to the dual rails. Nothing I could do with all the mods and tricks out there would true it up. EVen Makita couldn't help. Got the 12" Flexvolt DeWalt. Never looking back.
I honestly chose DeWalt over Makita and Milwaukee because my dad is a DeWalt guy. Not sure what it is, something about using the same brand of tools my dad and uncles love makes me feel great about using them. Also the black and yellow is beautiful.
I'm Festool and DeWalt. Festool have a few gaps that DeWalt fill perfectly like their tables saw and impact driver. I have the same tablesaw and with a good guality sharp blade it is an awesome saw, you can't beat that rack and pinion fence (unless you get a SkillSaw table saw that isn't avaliable in NZ).
I use the Hatichi 10" slider. I love the slow start and the ability to adjust miters in just tiny increments. I do like Dewalt table saws even tho the one I " had " , had to be replaced 3 times before i got refunded for the saw. Now i have the small Bosch 10" table saw but its maximum rip width is less than 19" .
When in doubt, default to dewalt.
I follow yours and Scott's channels I very rarely like button any videos but I do for you two. Both of you have made me consider switching trades specially since I live here in New Zealand same as scott.
awesome to see one of my favourite youtubers commenting on another of my favourite youtubers! mad respect to you both #carpentry
AND WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN @Finish Carpentry TV
@@JT-pc5kp I'd gladly put money on my DeWalt miter and table saws against any competitor you want to bring to the table. DeWalt is hands-down king of the miter saws and job-site table saws. They also have the best cordless oscillating multi-tool on the market. Everything else is pretty much run-of-the-mill, but still high quality.
Doesn’t Rhyme all the time
We've being on the makita platform for the last 12 years or so. But we're going for the dewalt 7485 flexvolt table saw. I feel like a bit of a traitor. That rip fence and it's capasity take some beating. I've had my Elu flip rip/mitre saw for 35 years now and like me its seen better days. I won't miss dragin a 110v transformer around.
As a semi serious home user I had the Ryobi system. Bit the bullet and switched to Dewalt. The Dewalt system is so much more enjoyable to use, greater run times, better accuracy almost makes me want to become a tradie !
I'm also a makita guy but i love my Bosch table and miter saws on the gravity rise stands.
I have almost the same setup, Makita akku, Dewalt drop and table saws, although different models. It's a matter of value for your money, which is why I picked these brands.
I used Milwaukee cordless tools for roughly 10yrs from the 28v set and then 18v. Excellent tools.
About 18mths ago I switched to Makita and have absolutely loved all their tools. The circular saw and planer are excellent. The impact and drill drivers are also great tools.
All the leading brands have good, reliable and well made tools. It's just what suits you and your type of work.
I was looking at Milwaukee’s range recently as they have some really niche stuff that I would love to get ... then I look on eBay and see soooo many of them ‘for parts’ or ‘not working’ ... and think maybe that’s for a reason. Their packout system is fabulous - expensive but top quality.
I went with Makita as in my country there’s mainly 3 options: Makita / Dewalt / Bosch
Out of those, Makita has the widest tool offering available. And there is local repair centre available 10mins down the road. Although I import most of what I want as it’s far cheaper.
that deflection in the blade while cutting is because of your blade, I used to have that problem as well until I picked up a really high end blade. The thinner the blade, the worse it gets as soon as the blade is used a bit.
Oh, and yeah man, I use the same saws and all my hand tools are Makita as well!
There's really no best brand of power tools, every brand has their really good tool. I went with DeWalt cause I like the feel of it in my hands.
Yes, I would agree, for mitre saws I have a Bosch blue line and that thing is incredible. But for a table saw, the Dewalt is simply better. In terms of drills and drivers I am mostly happy with Ryobi, but their accessories are a bit cheap and flimsy. For a palm router again Ryobi do a pretty good one in their One+ line. For a lunchbox planer, I'm using a Triton and I swear by it.
I run a property maintenance business and we do a lot of work on houses between tenants. I've got the flexvolt version of your tablesaw as we often work on houses with no power. It is brilliant and as good as a corded tool!
I'd love to try the cordless version
Come for a holiday to Melbourne and ill let you have a play with it. Their Flexvolt series is amazing actually. Especially for me, when I don't always have access to mains power. I desperately want to get their 2x 54v drop saw, but that is outside the budget at the moment, so I'm stuck with mains power on that.
Here in the uk we use 240volt at home( domestic ) and 110 volts on site. The flexvolt mitre saw will accept an adapter of either voltage! Or use 2 batteries. Awesome idea for those who jump between site and more domeatic work...
Thanks Simon, I just googled that and you can get the 240v here in Aus! That's awesome. The best of both worlds! We only have 240v here.
The makita you show at 1:22 is very cumbersome to work with and move around. The fence doesn't move horizontal to add width when needed, they only pull out and clip onto the black bars you see on either side of the table. I used that exact one for a few months and the same problem kept coming up, it's no good for cutting crown or large profile mouldings. I've since gone back to my 10" dewalt and never looked back. Not to say I'm bias to dewalt at all,. I have a variety of brands based on the application. Cheers
Also the locking pins on the makita are made of some very soft material and has a lot of play over time.
After my trusty Dewalt 10 inch table saw finally gave up the ghost and suddenly found a huge shortage of new table saws due to ships backed up in LA and Long Beach I found a gently used Skillsaw table saw on the gravity rise stand for $400 bucks on CL. It's bigger but it's a wormdrive, it's quieter and the stand hooks onto the edge of my tailgate making loading painless. I think I like it more than the Dewalt.
I got one of the new style Makita 10 inch corded saws, LS1019L. So far so good, it’s action is silky smooth and it’s really quiet.
Downside... it’s big and it’s heavy. It would be a pain to lug in and out of a van each day. The locking mechanism for the bevel angle also feels a bit flimsy.
I basically have DeWalt everything now. I started out with Makita and had a few bad experiences with tools not lasting and batteries not lasting. So I switched to DeWalt, I couldn't be happier with that choice.
You should look into the dewalt Flexvolt range .you can use battery or cable with the 305mm saw
I mainly have Dewalt both for my battery tools and mains saws. It's not really down to brand loyalty but more that I feel they have the best range overall that run on the batteries (especially with the flexvolt system) and there saws are definitely the best deal for the money they ask.
I use mostly Bosch because I get great local support and I like blue!
I went with the same mitre saw and table saw.
I did a lot of homework on the net and the 745 came up with great reviews.
I'm only a hobbyist but I just love both of those machines.
Other than that I've gone Ryobi as it's not like I'm punishing them every day and with a 6 year replacement guarantee I figure they'll do what I need.
I've still got some remnant Ozito stuff but am Gumtree-ing it away gradually.
It was good to start with but kinda sucky and pretty easy to outgrow.
But for a one-off job where you just need something that will do a basic job or that you use once in a blue moon and don't want to shell out big bucks for it can be a good choice.
My favorite small tablesaw would have to be the Makita 2708 I have had it for a long time and I love it
The linesman at work all use Milwaukee gear and they all reckon it's pretty great. The 18v drills go through 100mm hardwood crossarms no worries! We have had failures though but it's never been a problem to get them sorted under warrantee.
Im only a third year apprentice, but iv got the same 12" droppy and table saw. I picked up a couple of older second hand droppys (Bosch and Hitachi 10") and they are only good for formwork and firewood. I bought a broken makita tablesaw but never got it going since i picked up my dewalt soon after.
Dewalt for those two, hilti for anything else if i could ever afford it.
I’m a makita man too, but seriously considering investing in dewalt 54v platform. The cut off grinder and track saw look top notch.
The chop saw looks good too.... although I do like the look of the new Makita one with forward facing rails.
Would be nice if one company did a small 18v chop saw for doing architrave, skirting. Pelmet and cornice.
I don’t use chop saws for framing anymore. My 18v skill saw and a roofing square does the job and cuts in situ.
My chop saw barely gets used anymore..... I’ve been doing allot of loft conversions... mainly framing.
I love my makita tools also, but have had a dewalt 12" direct drive miter saw for close to 20 years. SOLID! Detent unlock is the button thingy on the newer saws😜. Enjoy your videos and high quality work man.
Nice little table saw... bet it's safer than my 1930's one my grandfather had!
I have a bunch of makita cordless tools but have recently got a few dewalt flexvolt tools and they really are amazing tools! I have the mitre saw, table saw, circ saw, grinder, blower and driver drill. So much power and feel really well built. In saying that the makita tools are still good but could not match the power of the flexvolt gear.
I have a Makita 10 inch corded compound mitre it’s just ok. Have a big 12 inch Makita in the factory at work we use a newer one and I don’t rate it at all. Yet to use a Dewalt one, but they feel a lot better in first impressions in store.
"I just like yellow" 🤣🤣 legend!!
Bought the DeWalt DWE7485 based on your recommendation. Thanks Scott!
I’ve got Dewalt for a few reasons: 1.) price is lower (on sale) than Milwaukee and Makita. 2.) the flexvolt line up is very compelling and expanding. 3.) power and features for the money beat out well. 4.) parts and service are available locally and affordably if I have a tool out of warranty.
I got fed up with lugging a massive chop saw around and use a speed square and circular saw when ever possible. This way I can cut in situ which is quicker. I use a light single bevel chop saw for skirtings, architrave, pelmets and cornice. But when I’m doing loft conversions all my timber I cut with a skill saw.
Got into the dewalt system cause that is what most the carpenters around here use outside of a few specific corded tools. Since I’m starting to build up a cordless collection, it’s all dewalt because of the batteries. Though I have tried some Milwaukee cordless that are pretty nice. Just don’t want to have multiple batteries
I do like Bosch blue power tools. Very impressed by there jigsaw and cordless drill. Picked up both new for €280. I'd recommend.
Ive got half and half . Dewalt and makita. Seems good. Minor tweaking.
With corded tools, it's easy to pick whatever you like, but cordless tools sort of tie you to a manufacturer, if you want your tools to share batteries and only carry one type of charger etc.
Changed all my tools to Bosch about 4 years ago. Not one has failed me, so I'll stick with them.
Just did my Laminate Flooring, I have the exact same setup, it may be a bit overkill for the job, but they are just fantastic, so easy to use. :)
I used to dw780, definitely the best chop saw out there for jobsite work. The boss kind of awesome, but has too many cheep plastic parts and it's heavier which makes no sense but it's true. The festival is kind of a joke for durability issues. Festivals great in a shop, what for that price point I would be worried about rain and damage and all the rest of it but happen on job sites. The dw780 cost me seven hundred bucks, and I've been through a few of them, fire and theft. But they keep paying for themselves.
I've used makita exclusively for 13 years and like most stuck with them due to the batterys. Slowly converting to dewalt as my makita tools are failing me. Definitely feel the difference in quality with dewalt
Good thing about the dewalt saws are the shadow line, which I think the new makita 40v have
When I was undecided in buying a Bosch 10XC or a Dewalt DWE9412, the rack and pinion fence on the Dewalt sealed the deal. As far as I know this in the only fence system in this price point that guarantees parallelism with the blade.
The Bosch however is a fine machine, featuring soft start and a sliding mitre. But in the end, I just get the impression the Dewalt is built better. You can also add an aftermarket soft start and you can just replace the mitre gauge with a better one from Banggood, so the Dewalt still wins hands down. Lastly much, much better dust extraction.
Love the dewalt tablesaw. I can carry it around with two fingers
my tools are a makita and dewalt mix. i use dewalt battery powered and makita corded. but my drop saw, i use Bosch glide 12 inch, that saw is badass.
Nice video
I am using Dewalt mainly flex volt 60 v I have the cordless 81/4’’ table saw and 12’’ cordless chop saw and the 71/4 cordless circular saw find them to be excellent additions to the tool box
Bought Ryobi cordless tools when I entered the cordless realm. Some I like, & still use .... But have upgraded to Makita cordless Circular saw, multi tool, recip saw & angle grinder.
All my favoured corded tools are Makita.
But then, funny enough I recently upgraded my old cordless Ryobi drill & impact driver to the new Brushless Ryobi drill & impact drivers ... a bit bulky compared to others but for the price pretty good.
2 con about dewalt 10 inch droppy is the angle cut lock and depth adjustment... makita has better type... but what u have is my favorite too to use...even the little lazer
I’m very much like you tool set up wise. Makita 18volt with dewalt chop saws. about to buy a dewalt table saw and maybe portable thicknesser dependant on what jobs I have come off this year.
I just added hitachi to the battery platform in the form of their gasless nailers. My bigger Carpentry tools are Mafell.
I think you should buy the best tool for your job for main tools then add to your battery line up for the secondary tools.
Try out the flexvolt circular saws. In the us their is a 90 day money back satisfaction guarantee. You could also see if Dewalt or one of the big distributors would send you some to try for free. It does happen. Anyway, it’s always interesting to see the building codes and methods used in other countries
Also the makita chopsaw is 10” but cuts a 12x4 in one no turning of the timber.
