I've been using the Dewalt 12" & 10" dual compound slide saws for years and have only replaced the brushes once. My saws get alot of use, being a contrator who does lots of finish work I'm always changing and adjusting the angles and have never had a problem locking the saw at an angle. As for the "one star" review, there's a turning handle on top of the saw behind the motor that locks it in at angles other than 22.5 & 45 degrees. There's directions that come w/the saw!

My rating is based on new bevel design only. Buyer beware! The convenience of making adjustments by one degree is not possible with this design. As the picture shows, there are notches where the saw is beveled and locked in place. The plate with the notches must be moved using the adjustment screws to change the degree. Sure you can lock the plate so the saw stops at 22.5 and 45 degrees, but when you need a 43 degree there is no manual adjustment to lock this in place and the weight of the saw automatically falls into the 45 degree notch or wherever you set the plate. There is a restocking fee to return this item so buyer beware.
