Most helpful customer reviews35 of 35 people found the following review helpful.New solutions for old issues.By William T. WorkmanFinally, someone put some thought in to addressing the weak link in the good ole' Skil 77, the foot/table. The designers of the DWS535 deserve a hats off and a pat on the back just for acknowledging the problems with the Skil 77 that have haunted me for most of my 25+ years in construction as a carpenter. The saw came out of the box with a rafter hook big enough to hang on most TJI's. The bevel adjustment is composed of a heavy piece of magnesium cast into the foot plate backed by a steel piece making it less likely to be bent from a drop or fall.This is usualy the first thing to get tweaked on a Skil 77. The bevel adjustment also has detents at 22-1/2 and 45 degrees and will lean over to a 52 degree maximum, very nice for cutting rafters. The depth adjustment bar, although the same basic design as the 77, it looks to me to be a little bit thicker and is partially protected from the casting of the upper blade guard. This is usually the second thing that gets bent up on the 77. The foot plate itself, instead of a flat piece of magnesium or pressed steel, is cast magnesium with reinforcement ribs and bridging cast into the foot plate as a single piece and is very stout. Also on the foot plate is an additional two pairs of sights on the blade cutout in the foot plate for the alignment of precise plunge cuts, very cool. The blade lock is easily located on the top of the saw under the auxiliary handle instead of the front of the saw in the gearbox with a o-ring prone to leak oil all over the saw and tool box when it fails.All carpenters know not to lower a saw off a roof by it's cord but most of us still do, knowing this Dewalt has beefed up the connection between the cord and the saw with some extra clamps inside the handle. Offered as an extra accessory, the DWS5100 rip fence is hands down the best on the market to date. The fence is more like the fence on a table saw and is a definite improvement over the little "T" shaped fences offered by most of the other competitors. Look to pay about 5x more for the fence but it's two point connection and superior cuts makes it well worth it. Anyone in the market for a worm drive and is tired of the same problems, I think this saw is well worth a serious look and consideration.11 of 11 people found the following review helpful.DittoBy LaddieNot much to add to the other excellent review except - at last! a solid, flat footplate on a wormdrive, so it is useful for more subtle tasks than rafter cutting. Overall a very solid and well made and designed tool with all the power you need.June 2011: After 6 months use I love it - if one can love a saw... keeps its adjustments, no problems, solid, emphatically potent.5 of 5 people found the following review helpful.What a saw!By TBKHomeworldI love my DeWalt saw. Being a weekend warrior doesn't mean I want to go cheap with my tools. I believe that spending extra money and buying a high quality tool will ultimately save you time and money. Once again, DeWalt has proved me right.I have now used this saw to put a massive patio and awning onto the back of my house and after all of the usage the saw is still working flawless. I opted to buy the adjustable fence to go along with it and it made ripping boards a cake walk. I will admit that at times it got really heavy resulting in not so straight of cuts. However, even with wondering cuts I was never able to get the saw to bind. Note: This saw does NOT have a safety switch, you simply pull the trigger and away it goes. Weekend warriors will want to unplug it if they have little hands around.As always I'm ultra pleased with this DeWalt tool and you will be too.See all 14 customer reviews...
