However, this saw was a risky purchase in my mind primarily due to the Festool dominance in the track saw space, but I was pleasantly surprised. I've cut everything from finished interior doors, to raw plywood (Chinese and Domestic ply), and I've just never used a better cutting saw! It simply works great. No chipping, square cuts, long battery life, ergonomic, easy to use, yada, yada, yada.
Pros: It's a great saw, guys! Period. We use this thing A LOT, in the shop and on the job-site. We primarily build cabinets, and perform various other finish carpentry tasks. It works great for us.
Cons: My saw didn't come with an extra battery or charger. You'll need to purchase an extra, 6.0/ah, 60V battery, and a DeWALT fast charger, but I purchased those on the internet for a very reasonable price. No big deal.
Overall I have nothing but praise for this and would note that putting a 9.0 AH battery on the saw will result in greater power and although some users complained that it takes up too much room I didn’t notice it taking up any space I was using. Also the push plunge mechanism seems intuitive enough, I don’t have experience with track saws prior but it was easy to use and didn’t really take getting used to for me.
I strongly recommend watching a youtube video on the initial setup and calibration for the saw. The included instructions basically don't even explain it.
-Loosening/tightening the track guides requires a 3/32 hex wrench which is not supplied.
The dust port sprays right back towards you which is annoying unless you have a dust bag or hose extraction. Speaking of which, Dewalt does not include a dust bag or any hose adapters which is a MAJOR negative. A cheap dust bag would make this tool so much better. My Dewalt miter saw dust bag is the exact same OD which means it does not fit. My DEWALT DCV581H Wet-Dry Vacuum hose end does not fit either. I've spent hours trying to figure out which adapter(s) to get and it's pretty much impossible to figure out without buying a bunch of stuff and hoping something magically works.
-There is no 45 degree bevel stop.
-Adjusting the depth of cut is a bit of trial-and-error as you can't just put the saw on your material and eyeball it because you need to account for the depth of the track.
-The track guide is nice albeit a little floppy. You will want to store it carefully so it doesn't get bent.
-The actual cutting process is very smooth and easy.
OVERALL
This tool works well to rip long sheets of plywood or other material. Once you calibrate it and learn the quirks, it is easy to use. However, this saw will spew a ton of dust and good luck trying to figure out an easy dust collection mechanism - if you do, please let me know!
The battery is awesome. Still shows a full charge after several full length rips. I won’t need a second battery.
Dust collection is pretty good using the overpriced dewalt adapter.
Only complaint was it was delivered in its dewalt box on my porch while I was out, making it a very appealing porch pirate target.
