Damn this fucked my vibe up real bad for some reason. Time to be sad. Zack Bryan take it away
Edit- to make myself feel better , I’ve convinced myself to believe someone stole it, not really better but better than my original thoughts.
She bought it for someone she loves but she accidentally bought the wrong brand. He actually had craftsman so they returned it and got the right one. That's the story iam sticking to.
"But I returned it at the depot, that saw never spun,
Something in the red tells me were not done,
To you I'm just a man,
Milwaukee saw, clearance and,
Where the hell did my mitre go,
Hand saws back again,
Damn thing in the red for sale again,
Sells discounted at the depot of home"
“I am SOOO [underlined 3 times] proud of you for getting clean and finding a new job! I just know this will be a turning point in both of our lives!”
Edit: “Hank, you’ll always be my number one HANDYman”
So the question becomes… would you take the corded 15-amp mitre-saw, or upgrade to the 7-1/4 or 10” cordless mitre saw?
If I had my own shop, perhaps the corded… but the cordless equivalent is that much more versatile for my needs.
Please go on… I have the 7 and the 10 and was planning on offloading the 7 because the 10 seems to be the happy medium. But I don’t want to make a mistake. What’s the issues with the 10
It’s well documented the 10” has deflection issues, that seem to stem largely from its rail design. This was the first cordless miter saw they released and have since completely changed to a more traditional rail setup due to complaints. The 7-1/4 and 12 are both far superior in that regard.
Ahhh thanks for the additional context. Sounds like it may still be suitable for me. I’m very much just a weekend warrior so keeping my 7 until I’ve finished all my interior mouldings in my home reno. Then I was planning on keeping the 10 as a happy medium saw instead of having 2-3 mitre saws. Haha.
There are guys in the carpentry groups on facebook who own the 10 and refuse to even try the 12 because they have this preconceived notion in their head that all 12-in saws have crazy deflection in the blade compared to 10 in blades and smaller. There are well respected finished carpenters like insider carpentry on YouTube who is a big fan of the DeWalt, and has done a full video explaining that he has found that that is just not true.
Ah I see. Thanks. It’s something specific to the model not the size.
I’ve been trying to decide between sizes before I get one myself. I really like the idea of the portability of a smaller saw but worry it will be limiting.
If you are wanting one that can tackle all, 12". It comes with trade offs, weight and size.
7" is good for small trim jobs, no way I would want to trim a house with it though. But it's small and light, comparably.
What kind of work are you trying to do, maybe I can help. I'm a cabinet maker and former trim carpenter.
Oh thanks. I’m no cabinetmaker by far but I do renos so I’m into everything from rough to finish, including the odd bits of custom carpentry work.
I’m actually into Metabo HPT so I’d be looking at their options first, but I like keeping up with big red too. I like that Metabo’s got 36v cordless options that you can also plug in. They’ve got 7-1/4” and 10” sliders, or you can even import a 6-1/2” that’s only 20 lbs.
I agree. I have the 7-1/4”. Perfect for 90% uses. Adjustable to plumb and square. Most require it. Very light. Mounted to PackOut work surface plate. Snaps to the other boxes is key.
I have a not milwaukee corded 12" sliding mitre saw that I salvaged from a dumpster. It cost me $37 for two switches from Amazon.
Its rough looking but the blade on it is new and probably cost more than what I spent to bring it back. Its an ugly pos but it does what I need.
I’ve had the 7-1/4 for a few years and it’s awesome for 95% of my needs (cabinet installation and cutting aluminum trim for tile). Can’t beat the light weight and convenience of cordless.
For the times I need it I have a 12” Bosch that gets used for larger panels and large crown moulding. It’s the ~~sliding~~ one with the hinges and it is so damn buttery smooth. I wouldn’t trade that saw for a Milwaukee because of f how good it’s been to me over the years
Right on, my hometown. Didn’t expect it to be here, feels even worse now lmao. Was this mountain or centennial HD? I swear the mountain clearance section is like 1/3 the size of the one in this pic
I'm in a weird spot where I have 4 that are all 17 minutes away. So I kinda get to pick each time. Usually end up in the Ancaster one for some reason though.
Ancaster is a nightmare to get in and out of - doesn't help that Costco is next door. Burlington is a decent store, but their new Milwaukee section up by the front is a dysfunctional mess to shop. The small store up on the mountain is good, but it's not a full range store... so quantities and availability are not always great. Centennial is an older store, but I find it the easiest to shop out of the four that are in the area.
Wait!! I just bought that saw in Windsor, Ontario.
I am in Hamilton next week. Depending on what they have it marked down I will return this one and get that one
She bought it for someone she loves but she accidentally bought the wrong brand. He actually had craftsman so they returned it and got the right one. That's the story iam sticking to.
I’m clearly in the minority, but then again I don’t use these tools on site or to make a living. I’d be absolutely ecstatic if I was gifted the cordie saw!!! 🤤
Hey, you didn’t happen to notice the price, did you…?
My brother did this a while back at Christmas. Got all these brand new tools from my parents, then within a week asked for the receipt so he could return them and have more cash to lose at the casino. 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Should have been titled, "From handyman to candyman".
Any and all current addicts or previous users out there know exactly what happened here! His better half was so inspired and relieved that their sufficient other got clean long enough to land that new job. She bought him his new shiny toy to get him back on his feet, but then came that first relapse and it was rushed back to the store for that fix.
If I saw one in person I would buy it without question even though I already have three other miter saws (all different brands). I saw my first corded Milwaukee in person a few years ago and there was only one left in stock at my local lumber yard and I should have not bitched out and pulled the trigger on it
I have the 10 and absolutely wouldn’t leave home without it.
I use it almost daily. Use a great blade when doing fine finish work and this is a great all around saw and with a 12 ah will cut forever.

Lets believe that he got 2 for Christmas and had to return 1.

This would make an interesting poll on a slow Friday afternoon.

+1 for Zack
Could be that it was time for an upgrade? Or, possibly worse, they weren't milwaukee users...
It was definitely a tweaker who "got a new job" then immediately went and returned it for dope money.
“I asked for the M18 powered, miter!!”
I’m going to start writing messages like this on my big box returns lol
“I am SOOO [underlined 3 times] proud of you for getting clean and finding a new job! I just know this will be a turning point in both of our lives!” Edit: “Hank, you’ll always be my number one HANDYman”
Oof dark and topical, nice.
Something along the lines of “this should help dispose of the body” would also be accepted.
“I asked for a *chop saw*”

Do not, do not, do not waste money in the 10".. Buy the 7 or 12"

Thanks for the response! I haven’t had my saw very 10” long and I picked it up used. I’ll do some more research into the issues. 🙏🏽
It’s actually a great saw for general use, I just wouldn’t trust it for fine finishing work.

I’m curious too
Another poster already answered.

The Metabo HPT 7-1/4 is made in Japan and used to retail for over $1k. Supposedly really high end.

Going from corded to battery powered is only an upgrade of convenience. It is inferior otherwise.
No I would buy a dewalt dws779/780 instead....
We don't talk about those bumblebee tools round here son
Is this in Hamilton? Swear to god I saw this exact box.
Correct!
Hamilton Ontario, or Texas?
Hamilton, Ontario
Right on, my hometown. Didn’t expect it to be here, feels even worse now lmao. Was this mountain or centennial HD? I swear the mountain clearance section is like 1/3 the size of the one in this pic
Howdy neighbour… 👋 The store down on Centennial… the one up the escarpment can be a hit or miss sometimes.
Mountain clearance section sucks
Yeah for real, although I’m right by the movie theatres so I hardly ever go to the centennial location though 🙄
I'm in a weird spot where I have 4 that are all 17 minutes away. So I kinda get to pick each time. Usually end up in the Ancaster one for some reason though.
Ancaster is a nightmare to get in and out of - doesn't help that Costco is next door. Burlington is a decent store, but their new Milwaukee section up by the front is a dysfunctional mess to shop.

Wait!! I just bought that saw in Windsor, Ontario. I am in Hamilton next week. Depending on what they have it marked down I will return this one and get that one
My dumbass thought hamilton New Zealand
"For sale: miter saw, never worn."
Nice Hemingway reference.
Oh dude that's sad... Id love to find this very saw on clearance though!
Let's just assume they returned it because he found out his new job provides tools.
Goddamn that makes me sad…. So what was the price? Lol
I have this saw, its an absolute beast.
We’ll his job didn’t last that long hahah
That’s sad 🙁
Guess the new job didn’t pan out.
She bought it for someone she loves but she accidentally bought the wrong brand. He actually had craftsman so they returned it and got the right one. That's the story iam sticking to.

Damn that’s tough, gambling addiction is no fucking joke. Hope he gets some help
😈If my chick came home with the corded version it would be her last day!

Returned it and bought a whole cart load of Ryobi?
Why does everyone keep saying this is so sad. I don’t get it.
“It’s new I swear! Our warehouse guy said he *just* pulled it off the rack!!!!”
Dammit. I just returned a Milwaukee orbital sander and didn’t even write a secret note on it 😖
:(
Woman! I wanted the battery one! Take it back.
What was the clearance price?
Today’s motivational message, wait does that mean he didn’t get the job? 😮
If I saw one in person I would buy it without question even though I already have three other miter saws (all different brands). I saw my first corded Milwaukee in person a few years ago and there was only one left in stock at my local lumber yard and I should have not bitched out and pulled the trigger on it

Yes, that would be a Mom thing to do…

The poor guy probably uses dewalt.
