I think I am in the market for a new miter saw, and I need some advice. My current saw is a dewalt DW718, and I am done with it. It has two major flaws that are rapidly turning into deal breakers.
The first is that the fences on each side of the blade are not perfectly square, so I can only align the blade with the left or the right side of the work table.
The second problem is the amount of slop in the head. At full extension it only requires slight pressure to cause significant head deflection.
I have looked at the festool Kapex, and it seems like a great saw, but I am having some heartburn over the price.
I don't need a 12" saw, in fact I would prefer a 10", what is more important is that the saw have at least a 11.5" depth of cut ability. Good dust collection is a definite consideration, but precision is my primary concern.
Any input would be much appreciated.
