DeWALT DWS774

Advantages: There is no soft start, but it also does not tear from a place. Not loud as for trimming

Disadvantages: No bag included.

Comment: Saws neatly and platbands with fragile oak veneer, and easily a 50x200 board, like a butter knife. The corners converge perfectly. All the sawdust goes to the right place, only there is no bag. I don't care about a vacuum cleaner. Made with high quality, nice to handle. I came across made in Italy.

Advantages: High-quality assembly, right now, the thing produces a feeling of good quality. A good complete disc - it cuts everything like butter with a hot knife, and does not leave much chips. The saw folds compactly, weighs quite a bit, comfortable carrying handles (by the way, of the two handles in the kit, it is better to screw only the one with the keys - it is more convenient to carry it and put it if you can)) Very solid design - nothing looseness anywhere, saw smooth and clear ... I liked the XPS system (illumination of the saw spot with a clear shadow from the disc instead of a laser marker), it accurately illuminates the saw spot and does not get clogged with sawdust like a laser, does not get lost and does not require adjustment like a laser center.

Disadvantages: No cutting depth stop! The biggest minus in this saw! From the factory, the corners are set inaccurately (adjusted in 15 minutes)

Comment: I chose between it, Metabo KGS 216/254 M and AEG PS 216/254 L. I took it for its lightness, compactness and an original solution to the broaching mechanism, I must say I did not regret it - I have very little free space in my garage and it can be folded and removed on shelf without much effort, with metabo and aeg such a trick will not work. they are substantially larger and heavier. Each of these saws has its own advantages: the metabo is significantly cheaper and has retractable stops on the sides for long workpieces, the aeg has a built-in dust removal turbine - a vacuum cleaner is not needed)). This devolt does not seem to have a smooth start - but the saw starts quite easily (I have an assembly saw from aeg so that at the start it jumps up along with the workbench)). A very quiet, original solution to the safety casing - I really liked this design. The main trouble, as I already wrote above, is that there is no limitation on the depth of the saw, but this is apparently due to the non-standard solution of the broaching mechanism - it is located on a pendulum and it cannot be done like on other saws. The angles of the cut from the factory were exposed to a hike "by eye" - I had to study the instructions and set it myself - affairs for 15 minutes. Made in Italy. This is my 5th tool from the "black and yellow" and probably not the last one, respect to the manufacturer!
