I can't tell you how many times I struggled to set up a perfect round over only to have the Colt cut a bead when I turned it aroud in my hand. I will religate it to flush trimming and mortising doors along with other operations where a squared base isn't crucial. Assuming that the Dewalt's design operates very much like my 618s I cannot see the Dewalt having these same issues.

aaah!...so that's why I get the little rebate/rabbit sometimes!!
