Even Amazon stopped which is usually my first go to. Hopefully they can just issue a part for it cuz I’d rather not have to give it back.Īlso, it makes sense why I could hardly find this saw in any store I went to and I had to buy online. Sad cuz I researched alot of miter saws and this was the one I had my eyes on, and I also prefer dewalt to any other brand. I happened to check my news feed and saw this article lol. I figured it was just a kickback safety of some sort and that could be managed by me mostly, So far no issues.
I stopped the saw and found all three pieces it broke into and I couldn’t find where it went in the manual it came with and so I just did a bunch more checking on the saw and the only place I could fit it into was some type of blade guard area where the piece would fit into….wasn’t sure HOW it placed so as long as it didn’t cause a hazard I just figured I’d keep going. Straight up, JUST got a brand new DWS779 this past week and was making a cut the first day and the next thing I know pieces of black plastic are flying everywhere. The rolling stand does help me lug it around and ramp it up into my truck – but if portability is needed this is certainly not your saw. I haven’t used mine in anything like production mode – but other than its behemoth size/weight I have no issues with it for house/cabinet trim work – but prefer other solutions for mitering small furniture trim and picture frames. Mine had a table that was very close to dead flat, perfect fences, de-minimis blade runout (I changed the stock blade to a Forrest Mitermaster) and needed no adjustments to square the blade or make accurate miter/bevel cuts. I bought mine – with a gravity rise stand from Amazon in 2013 – just because I was wary about the possible need for a return. The good news that I heard was the some were perfect out of the box. I was particularly interested because I had planned on buying one after I sold-up and retired. I was told that one had fences that were not co-planar, another a dished table, another that had set-up issues requiring adjustment to true the blade. Those were returned – and then for the next ones we decided we’d pick them up ourselves and check them out before we took them. We had more than one that seemed to have suffered from shipping damage (flimsy packaging/box).
We bought several of the GCM12SD saws when they were still a “new kid on the block” That was at least 10 years ago – so I thought that the issues that we found with QC would have been ironed out by now.
