I'm selling my Dewalt RAS as I now buy PAR timber rather than mill my own from larger boards and I hardly ever use it.
I've only ever used it for cross cutting and trenching where it is very accurate once set up properly.
I bought it second hand in pretty good condition but added some reinforcement (angle iron) to the bottom of the base where they can rust.
It is fully working and is complete apart from the retractable blade guard which I found was more of a hindrance than a help. It also comes with a negative rake blade which is pretty essential to a safe operation. I found the dust extraction on the blade guard to be not very effective and the contraption at ther back of the saw works a lot better (obviously connected to an extractor.
I haave disassembled the saw and base for storage and easier transport but can easily show that the motor is working. Reassembly is very straight forward but will take 2 people to align the saw with the base. There is also a downloaded copy of the instructions.
Given the weight and size it is collection only from Sutton Coldfield (B75).
I'm looking for £100 ono.
