During 2020, I spent a good amount of time (during the hours that I should have been sleeping) designing new DIY projects. In order to complete these complex projects, I needed to invest in a metal cutting saw. After much research, I decided to go with the the DEWALT Metal Cutting Saw (DW872). Even though the saw comes with a 14″ metal cutting blade, I purchased a back up blade (DWA7747) so that I can continue my project without interruption, if the blade burns out.
The stock base of the DEWALT Metal Cutting Saw (DW872) is solid. However, since I will be working with long metal stock that I need to cut at 90 and 45 degree angles accurately and safely, I purchased an after-market saw base from John Saunders Machine Works. I have already put this set up use on a DIY project. OMG! The base, the 45 Degree Jig, the Clamp Adapter for DeWalt Fixture Plate, and the Sliding Arm Clamp are all worth their weight in salt!!!
