DEWALT D28715 14 inch Chop Saw
By June Rush
It works well or better than trying a cut a peice of square tubing straight with a angle grinder. I bought this machine because I am a hobby metal worker. I used it to so far to cut up to 5/8" bar at an angle and 3/4" bar at 90 degrees and the heaviest tubing I have cut with it would be 1.5"X3.0" with 3/16" wall. For the retanglar tubing, it would start out a bit slow because of the flat top surface, but once you get it down in the thinner cross section, it will really start cutting.The only thing that I would complain about is the slow starts and some blade deflection because when you start, you have to push down pretty hard to get the cut started pushing the blade off a bit. There was some blade deflection on the 45 degree angle I cut on the 5/8" rod, but when I welded the part together, I just adjusted it to compensate.I payed [...] bucks for this chop saw. I know it is a Dewalt, so it should last and Amazon had the best price on this machine that I could find. 200 dollars. Most other places wanted between 215 to 225 for the same product, plus I had to pay for shipping from the other suppliers.I have yet to trip the breaker while using it either. When using the Milwaukee that was in my high school welding class last year, it had a tendency to trip the breaker, especially when it was being used hard.Over all I would buy this machine, weather your a hobbiest or a welder/ fabricator. This could have a place in your operation. I chose this over JET's small bandsaw, which was about $400. Plus the bandsaw took up some floor space, which is at a premium in my garage, while this chop saw I just set on the shelf in the corner.

DEWALT D28715 Heavy Duty 14-inch Chop Saw
By Cesar Armendariz
This is an outstanding heavy duty chop saw. I use it daily and appreciate all its features, like the quick change keyless blade change system, and the tool-free adjustable fence. The quick-lock vice improves my productivity by allowing me to fast clamp stock. The lock-down pin allows me to fold down the blade casing and easily move the saw around the shop. This tool works all day without overheating. It is truly a heavy duty metal saw.

-change wont last
By J&H
i bought 3 of these units for framing crews, units get used daily, and we burn through a blade a day most times, quick change lock down has broke on all three units. i took one of these devices apart to see how they work, there is a gearing system inside, takes about 7 turns of the key to turn the actual screw once, great idea but the problem is they have a system to keep you from overtightening, this system consists oh a white plastic key with 6 points that engage with the black outer cap, when you get this tightened the white pieces slips past the black outer key, preventing overtightening, problem is everytime you click past the point of max tightness you wear away a little of the plastic of these two parts, if you are changing blades often it doesn't take long to wear these down to the point that they will just slip by eachother and you can no longer tighten the blade, A very dangerous situation. we have had to replace this system with regular bolts and washers and toss the quik change device on all units
