Delta ShopMaster S26-262L 10 in. Miter Saw w/Laser

This miter saw is not a Delta. It is Chinese-made junk . I’m returning mine, and buying a DeWalt 10" compound miter saw (DW713). For $60 more, it will save you hundreds of dollars and hours of frustration in the long run. The Delta-Shopmaster 10” compound miter saw has some problems including: - The positive stops are so subtle, it’s easy to glide past them. They don’t actually stop the turntable at a set angle. Even stopped at an angle, there is more than a degree of play. This is unacceptable for a miter saw, even if it’s not a high-end saw, as it undermines the most basic function of the saw. You cannot make a cut to any level of accuracy, let alone be able to repeat accurate cuts. - There are no mount holes in the fence. As this is a useful feature and an essential part of my building style, I would prefer not to drill through the fence, and end up doing a bad job and having to live with it, and making the saw un-returnable. - The control arm for the turntable is known to break (from many reviews), and mine was flexing even as I barely tightened it. Even when tightened, the turntable moves slightly, making it practically impossible to get a proper angle setting, along with the aforementioned positive stop problem. - All the parts are cheaply made and are prone to breaking easily. Even when bringing down the head, it doesn’t feel like it will last a while. I realize that this is a lower-end saw, and I can't expect that it will have the bells and whistles of a more premium-priced saw. However, as a miter saw, I would expect that it will make accurate miter cuts, or at the very least, accurate 90 degree cuts, but this saw fails in those aspects too. Being at a lower price point, the saw is designed to get beginners get into woodworking, but this saw is too much hassle to get to work properly, and still makes it impossible to get consistent, repeatable cuts, making a beginner woodworker frustrated and making one prone to quitting altogether. Even I, having a couple years of woodworking experience and being pretty handy in general, went through the hassle of trying to set up the saw, but ended up frustrated with the results. No two cuts were the same angle, let alone square. Ironically enough, as a beginner, the best choice is not the cheapest. Go a little more expensive and it will make your life easier.
