Shaun, one of the things I like better about the Millwaukee is the shorter stroke. It easier to control the blade in a tight spot, or if you have to make a plunge cut. Another is some of the thicker blades wont fit into the Dewalt blade holder.
Dont get me wrong, The Dewalt is an excellent saw, especially for the homeowner . My Milwaukee is an older saw thats seen tons of use.
I think you made a good choice. I wouldnt worry about it.

OK, thank you again one and all. I'm going to keep the saw, it works so well, and even though I'm hard on tools, think it will at least go the distance of my last one.

Pics of the carnage:

Perfect, rust-free rear seats from a 70 Targa, rarer than early sport seats. Lots of multiple axis cuts to get this out clean






Carnage




Torsion bars were welded into the tube it seemed. Center cut in half.

Not all 911s are destined for greatness...

This car was unsalvageable for me at the time. With my current OK welding skills and a summer's worth of work, it could have been saved. Back then, it would have been a $6000 check.
