Good saw,
This is the second time I bought this saw. I am a contractor and just plain wore the first one out. Had a lot of problems in the end keeping the fence aligned. But still the best portable saw out there for my purposes. What I would say about the rolling stand is that it ads a LOT of weight to the saw. I bought the side and rear table extensions (DW7441). Problem is, with the rolling stand, when you fold it up and stand it on end to roll it, the side extension slides out and hits the floor! (very frustrating) Called Dewalt tech support to report obvious design oversight, (am sure they immediately called a meeting with R and D) and to hear the obligatory appology for the trouble I was having with no remedy (or understanding) of the problem. Overall a decent saw as far as portable saws go.

Excellent portable saw,
I ordered this saw to meet an immediate remodeling job requirement. I was astounded that Amazon got it to me in two days where others were quoting more than a week. The saw assembled easily and the initial setup was straight forward and alignments correct. It definitely meets the “portable” standard and the rolling stand is among the best I’ve seen. Overall, I’ve given it five stars for its combination of quality, portability and competitive price among saws with comparable features.

DeWalt Versus Others,
I have several DeWalt tools because of their quality. This was my latest addition because of the rack and pinion fence, mobile base and available outfeeds (DW7441) making it a great job site tool.
I do however concur with one previous rater, you MUST check the accuracy of the gauge. Though it says it’s calibrated at the factory, mine was off. Minor and easily adjusted.
It’s not a light saw, but the mobile base rolls great once you have the saw mounted to the base.
Highly recommend it!
