Table Saw Miter Gauge - DW7470  Product Reviews

"The problem I have found with this is that none of the fasteners are loctited so I had to pull it apart and lock them all. and the stops built into the slide are not even close to the callouts on the slides e.g. I thought I was cutting at 90deg and I was actually cutting at 85deg. My fault for not checking the setup ahead of time, but thats why I bought this so I can just set it and cut."

"I am a dewalt fan, I like most of their tools and this one did not let me down."

"It looks impressive, but it simply is not possible to cut 90 degrees accurately. Actually, I found a way: use a framing square to square the fence to the blade; clamp the fence to the sliding table (if you spent the $400 for that option), then cut. Clearly, DeWalt rushed this product to market even though it was faulty. DeWalt can no longer be trusted I guess. They should have a recall on this. If I could give it a minus rating I would."

"Wasn't impressed at all with Dewalt's answer to the Osbourne EB-3. The fit and finish was not up to Dewalt's usual standards. Think they rushed this into production. I couldn't get the rocking of the fence adjusted out..Dewalt says its normal. If you are cutting precise miters, ya sure don't want the fence rocking around while going thru the saw. Also the presets won't stay preset. They will vary as much as 1-2 degrees each time you move the slide. I have the Dewalt 746 table saw and wanted to stay with Dewalt equipment if I could, but after a couple days of messin with this miter gauge I took it back and ordered an Osborne EB-3(seperate review)."
