Haven't had a chance to really put this saw through it's paces but at full depth (with a Freud demo blade) it will rip though 4x4 posts like you're going through air. Lighter than most worm saws with power to spare. Fit and finish is classic DeWalt - well thought out and executed. I wouldn't use it for cutting trim (overkill) but for anything else it will be the saw I reach for. I just wish there was a place to store the blade wrench.
