DeWalt DW872 14" Multi-Cutter Metal Cutting Saw w/ MAIL-IN Rebate .Anybody have one of these or have info on it ???? http://www.tylertool.com/dedw14mumecu.html Buy before dec 31 and get free grinder or blade.  Just wondering how much better this is , sounds impressive, blade life is what I wonder about. thanks
Reply:Looks like it might be too good to be true.  Be sure to check the fine print in the redemption coupon about the free tool not being offered in combination with any other discount or rebate.I have one of the heavy duty grinders they are offering as a premium and like it very much.awright
Reply:I'd get the grinder since the Dewalt blade that came with my multi-cutter only lasted about 200 cuts.  Now I have Tenryu and Matsu****a blades that last longer, but I use a bandsaw much more often than the multi-cutter.
Reply:200 cuts??? Someone isn't doing something right. MY first DW blade lasted nearly 800 cuts before I did something stupid and killed it...my second had 2-300 before I did something even dumber and killed it and my third has maybe 800 cuts on it at present and still going strong. I am going to try out a Metal Devil when I kill this one.  I am using them on my Mil 8" saw and they are doing quite well. Lots cheaper as well.
Reply:I'm interested in this offer too.  If you make the purchase, come back and let us know it went through as advertised, and how you like it.Hobart 140 Handler w/ gasHyperTherm Powermax 380 Plasmaoxy/acetylene
Reply:I just got the new Northern tool Catalog and they have a very similar deal for a Makita Chop Saw and Angle Grinder.  It's only $179 w/ free shipping and you may want to check it out before making your purchase.I like Makita stuff and have had good luck with their products.Hobart 140 Handler w/ gasHyperTherm Powermax 380 Plasmaoxy/acetylene
