is yours the 5.5 horse? I figure I can always add to it for more clamping surface if I do run into that problem.

i'm not sure.. its a dewalt 14" chop.

only hard part about adding to the clamping, there is no where to clamp to.

have fun with whichever purchase you do decide to get.

I recently bought the Milwaukee. It says its 5.5 horse. I got the one with the cast base. My friend has a DeWalt at work, and his only complain is the flimsy base, and the fact that they burn up two every year. I thought he was kidding but there are two under the bench where the newest one is. But they use them day in day out.

I love mine so far, just keep good blades in stock. I burnt through my last Milwaukee blade, and went to Home Chepo and got a Norton blade. It sucks. It has trouble cutting 1/8" thick tube, and glazes itself when trying to cut 1/4" with no pressure on it.


Or get one of those carbide tipped blades. I'm tempted to get one, since they cut so much faster.

you must buy defective dewalts then. lol. everyone i talk to says dewalt makes top notch tools regardless of what they are made to cut. either way, i did get the milwaukee only because the dewalt was a reman.
