hey we all would like to save 25% of the retail price, right! well i ordered the reconditioned saw. it arrived at my doorstep damaged, probably from being dropped in shipment. motor housing was cracked and blade alignment was very skewed. however the saw ran fine. But in addition, a hinge bushing had fallen out, the chip guard was cracked the motor housing was cracked, the machine was greasy and grimey from previous use(why service would not clean this unit up for the new buyer is beyond me) the spindle lock did not work and the closest fence position was difficult to engage. also it was apparent that the blade guard had been damaged but not fixed and set properly
service sent out a replacement within a week, but the replacement came with a USED BLADE! and the motor sounded rattle-y like the bearings were going! I'm sending this one back as well and considering Makita or dewalt model. was a huge fan of milwaukee, but have to say their quality may be slipping in past 5 years. never thought i'd ever hear myself saying that. could this be due to the fact that they were bought by TTI in Asia and now standards have lowered?
I have lucked out with reconditioned items in the past, and feel its a viable option most times, but time lost is money lost and dealing with the hassle of returns is time consuming, even when the seller, in this cxase CPO, makes it easy and hassle free. How many times will I need to return an item until a good one arrives?


that said, the saw cut fine once i adjusted the fence to square, there is some vibration as it chips thru the metal. not bad though, cant compare this to an industrial KMT saw can we? it is a heavy beast though, albeit portable if you dont have a bad back (yet) my biggest complaint is that the fence positioning device is a heavy but hard-to-press-down spring-loaded pin. at a nearby retailer i noticed the makita had a way more ergonomic fence locking lever that inspired confidence. one other gripe though is that its hard to line up your cut line with the blasde because you cant see thru the blade guard, including the Makita model. it looks like the Dewlt has a smoked platic that is see thru, like on their wood miter saws, which is a huge benefit for alignment and accurate cutting. I'll have too find one of those locally and get my hands on it to see if its true.
