Is this a sliding saw that bevels both directions?

no, but it is a gr8 saw for the price, the more you pay$$ the more features are included.

It does not slide any, but does cut bevels just to one side though. You have to flip the molding over and upside down to cut other angle. Saw has been very good for me though overall for what I needed.

No it is not, but just to give you a quick review if you are still interested in it. I have used it about 30 times with numerous projects and numerous blades, and it has worked great and the orbital action really helps for those tight corners when cutting. Get some better blades and this is one of the best jig saws you can buy.

Yes it is. It's a little more difficult to use the opposing bevel but it still works great!!!

Really depends on what you'll be doing with it. I looked at sliding saws too, and just couldn't come to terms with paying the money. If you're planning on just cutting 2x4s or 2x8's etc you'll be fine.

It is a circular saw. If you mean the Makita blades, they do not support the high speed of the Rockwell and make shatter.

Yes. This is the most versatile tool I have ever owned. The best feature is the blade advance control, if you want aggressive cutting swivel the lever to 3, for delicate cuts (thin ply) set it to 1. I use this so much I burnt out my first one and am now on my second. I would buy this tool if it cost twice as much.

Don't try it with this piece of crap. You should set the bevel on your circular saw or table saw to 45 degrees, and then run the blade across the wide side of the board. Do not try to set the miter and the bevel of a table saw at the same time, or else one side of your board will push more material through and your blade will bind up.

All the edges are finished. Sawing off an end would make it different than all other sides.

It's for both left and right. I can use it only to the right of the blade on my 60 year old Craftsman saw because it's too wide to use on the left side.

No it is designed for a standard table saw slot which is 3/4 wide, The bar that drops into the table saw slot has adjustable rollers to insure accuracy but the adjustment is not that much just enough to make up for tolerance variations on saws. You could make a different slide bar but it defeats the point (unless you are someone with machinist skills)this is a very precise jig if you are going to jury rig do it on something cheaper.

It is a compound saw in the sense you can get an angled cut by altering the angle of the plate. Because of the diameter of the blade it is probably limited to angled cuts with material no more than 1-1/2" thick. Basically, it's a great "cut off" saw for materials less than 2" thick. Just let it do the work and don't try to push it through even a 2 X 4 because you'll eat the motor bearings and then have a saw with one really bad Kerf. I know, I ate one of these by getting into a hurry. But I also bought a new one to replace it because it is a great tool if you don't abuse it as I did.

No, the abrasive blade does not slip do to the toothed belt and pulleys. We have used one of these saws in a commercial tool room for over two years and so far it has held up.

Yes it is. Very quick change on the blade. The only problem I have with this saw are the attachments. The DeWalt light will not stay in place and the stand fits the saw perfectly but DeWalt wast a lot of storage space with their stand. JMHO

Yes, the handle rotates and LOCKS in 3 positions: left/center/right (9/12/3 o'clock positions) which makes it convenient for BOTH left or right hand use. It also has double-action cutting blade action (both upper/lower blades move to cut).

they are dead stops and the bevel stops are like pivoting stops so they are all pretty solid. When you want whatever angle you lock into place, very hard to move unless you bump your whole body or anything hard against it. this is the best brand of jobsite saw out there.

No. Just the bottom is bladed. The top is flat. But the company makes some that are bladed both sides.

Right-handed as well. Blade is to the right of the grip. I'd never thought about them being sided, however now that you say it I would prefer to have the blade on the inside for better visibility for starting cuts. That said, the saw is a breeze to use. Very glad I purchased it.
