The DW rep was at the local HD this morning. By the time I walked away the pitch was 699 for the saw, cord option, and four Flexvolt batts and a charger. The slide seemed a bit smoother than the standard corded unit on display. Other than that , both saws appear to be identical. Seems like a good deal for 100 bux more. Wouldn’t mind having the 6.0s for the 6 1’2″ circular saw that I use constantly. Do the pricing deals get any better? Fathers day or black Friday? I’m well used to cutting crown flat in my very well preserved Makita LS 1013, but it kinda sux. I’d rather nest smaller crown for sure. I’ve been eyeing 12″ miters forever for that reason. Ah, what to do?
that’s a great deal. On factory authorized the 12 in non sliding with 2 batteries and the power supply go for $649. 2 extra flexvolt 2.0 for only $40 extra is a great deal.
No brainer. I’d buy that and not think twice.
Good for you bro, awesome deal!!!! Keep that DW rep away from me!!!!
Agreed. The DW rep sounds dangerous. He’ll have us all taking out second mortgages
Except for Jimbo who has sworn off DeWalt
Local event coming November 8th….thanks for the head up on the battery deal. I just bought the saw last week, I hope the rep will throw me a bone (batteries).
why not buy a few then sell what you don’t want for full price? or to TIA members for sale price? could make some profit.
Man I wonder what kind of deal he would give me on the circular saw. Already settled on getting a fuel sawzall instead with the 9.0 for less monies.

Attaboy ?
77ford,
Have you cut anything with the saw yet? The reason I ask is this: I’ve heard that the slide might bind slightly when set to a right bevel. This morning I met the rep at another HD. Yesterday he told me where he’d be today, and that just happened to be on the way to the job. Sure enough, the slide stiffened a bit as the head was being slid towards the table while being set on the right bevel at 45. Left was smooth. I only wonder if it’ll get better or worse? I’ve had the LS1013 since ’98. It’s as smooth now as it was then. I’ve been cutting 5/4 x 10 plinth blocks for columns the past day and a half, so I’m in the slide-saw-zone. Anyway, if the DW binds I’m concerned it might jack with the cut somewhat, like chatter or walk. I’d like that not to be an issue. I want this bad boy, and I want those batteries for the rest of my DW 20V toys! However, I can’t deal with whacked cuts on the material I’m working with. Just too pricey.
I have not played with it yet….just Joe handyman myself and I got it for a steal [External image (uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com), not copied]

Seems clear to me that CPO is being punished by SBD for for not honoring the lowest advertised pricing guidelines & giving customers a pre-order discount.
If so, the slimey b*st*rds are purposefully hurting loyal customers.
