I just bought this saw at Home Depot, it didn’t come with the T bar, I bought 2 blades at the same time, a framing blade & a fine finish blade. The blade with the saw was a 24T. I only wanted to cut up some old pickets & my saw saw was getting too heavy. This will come in handy for smaller wood cutting.
Just for comparison and no disrespect, I purchased a Harbor Freight Bauer CORDED saw just like this. It works great and I'm really putting it to the test. I prefer corded tools to get the constant full power. I noticed most people in videos are not using battery tools in remote places. I guess wrapping up an extension cord has become too much of a hassle.
Your right ! I’d say 75% of the time it wouldn’t be a hassle but it in on a roof or a jobsite with one temp outlet on each floor . I also view it as a business owner where time and efficiency is money it certainly adds up when all your tools are cordless not having to drag a cord around , plug and unplug stuff when you have lots of tools out. When I was an employee getting paid by the hour most of my tools were corded .
Ok i have the 7 1/4 side wider dewaltand this saw my boss has side winder and worm driven Milwaukee. Any body just staring out u cant find a more accurate saw the farther away u get from the blade more accurate u will be
I bought this Saw a few years ago when it first came out and Ive used it practically everyday since and it's still going strong , Ive dropped it off ladders and even down a set of stairs and no problems, its an Awesome Saw and I would Highly recommend it , you can't beat it especially for the Price .... 👍🖖
I don’t think I would use this for melamine it would certainly cut it but I think you would get some tear out I would probably use a track saw for that
Thank you! I'm just getting started with tools and DIY with ambitious plans. I didn't know what the T-bar was for and this video was very helpful just to see ways to use it.
It’s not the lever, it’s the attachment that connects the plate to the depth guide. Seems as thought there is only one rivet holding it to the plate. I’m going to look a little closer and make sure there isn’t a weld missing or something,
I bought one and love it. We used to keep a 6 and 1/2 in in the tool trailer, the 20 volt one. We took it out. Now we just have the 60 volt worm drive and the four and a half. We call it the turkey saw.
There are a lot of blade options in Amazon, I have a similar blade from a national brand from my country and I have several discs with 24 and 60 teeth plus one to cut tiles, important to me since we build homes with masonry rather than wood over here.
I have used a similar one from a different brand, I mean the same blade diameter and power to cut tiles with a disc for ceramics that I bought on Amazon.

Ty 4 making this video possible. I will buy one of these, DeWalt 4 1/2" portable saws based on your video. Thank you.
Thank you! Very informative.
I got a Bauer corded at harbor freight for $59. Love it!

I agree it is very easy to hold true to a line with this saw
I like this saw for cutting sheet goods , it’s a great tool
I agree the more I use it the more I prefer it to a bigger saw
I put a diablo on it. It's butter smooth.
Yah mine is due for a blade change I’ll have to pick a Diablo up!

Yah it really is kinda a hidden gem of a tool!
This would be good for cutting siding products especially where long angles are required
Forsure it would be great for that !
Does anyone has use this for melamine? Laminated MDF?
I don’t think I would use this for melamine it would certainly cut it but I think you would get some tear out I would probably use a track saw for that

I’m glad I could help !
so, this not ideal for cutting 2x4's? Thank you!
I use it to cut the odd 2x4 here and there but there are better saws for cutting framing lumber
As a cabinet guy I can carry this saw every where now. I keep the old one in the trailer but never use it.
I use this way more than a normal saw aswell
Does the depth plate move on your saw? I just bought this saw and my plate seems to move around a little when locked down.
Mine seems to lock in tight you could try tightening the nut that holds that lever in place

Yah I’ve herd people call it that I’ll have to adopt that name ha.
great review! can you use other blades to cut metal?
I haven’t seen any blades for cutting metal
Just got it at acme for 129 with a 1.7 power stack and charger.
That’s a great deal !
I have this saw. I love it. I still have the blade that came with it but there is not a lot of blade options in my country for this sadly
Where do you live ?
I have the same issue in the UK

Is it good for cutting 2x4?
Yah it can cut 2x4s but that is the max depth it will cut
Can cut tiles, mozek, marble?
I’m sure it would if you put the right blade in it . I’m not sure it would be any better than a grinder
I have used a similar one from a different brand, I mean the same blade diameter and power to cut tiles with a disc for ceramics that I bought on Amazon.
Not sure where you found it for $139? $229 is what I’m seeing. Please point to the $139. Great price
It’s actually 129 at Home Depot right now that’s the bare tool price so no battery.
Safety come first, you don't have your safety glasses on when you are making a cut.
bros not cutting metal what you need glasses for?
Safety comes 3rd
