« Great Saw »

I have been looking for a miter saw for a while now. I purchased this saw afew weeks ago at Home Depot for $450. When I got it home the blade was not square to the table and it took me a bit to get it adjusted. Once square, the saw works well. It stays true and is very easy to use. I am very happy with the saw.

« Almost Perfect »

I have only had this saw about a month. It is probably the best saw on the market in this price range. It is so smooth in every aspect. I like the work lights real well and the digital miter readout is a plus. I really like the bevel adjustment. The bevel adjustment is very easy to use.
I mounted this on a new Bosch T4B gravity stand and am very happy so far. I was leaning toward buying a Bosch saw for quite a while, but when I saw this new model from Milwaukee I knew immediately this was the saw for me.
Now, there are a couple of things Milwaukee should have done better. The right fence is removable but does not slide. If anyone has an explanation for this please post your thoughts. The saw should have came with a vise or clamp of some kind. There is not even an accessory available for this saw. The dust bag attachment should have came with an adapter for a shop vac hose. It is not perfect but compared to others in this price range I don't think you can go wrong.
