I wouldn't consider this anywhere near entry level either. It's not as good as the flagship models from Dewalt or Makita, but at this price it also costs less than half of either of those and probably offers 85% of the performance. Heck, even on sale neither of those has been anywhere near this price point.
The only Dewalt this saw falls short of is the Dewalt 780 with shadow line. The laser line doesn't come close to shadow line. But I can live with just the laser line for $250 less.
One other feature I really like about my saw is the rack and pinion micro adjustment for bevel as well as miter cuts. Once you set the cut angles, you can make micro adjustments with knobs to dial in the perfect cut. I don't recall seeing this feature on other brands of saws in similar price range
Finally, I want to comment about saw deflection. All miter saws are subject to deflection. Slider are more prone to deflection than fixed saws. The key is to learn how to operate the saw correctly to eliminate deflection and improve accuracy. Again, see this guy's YT video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFKXlKu
I picked up the Ridgid stand for $70 from DTO in December, which doesn't add much to the total cost of the setup.
Same here. This setup is nice.
