DW890 Dewalt

I use this tool a lot! The tool can be held in different ways. A very similar "Kett" instrument does not have a trigger lock. I wish the cable came out the top of the motor and kept it away from the metal being cut. (Do you hear Dewalt?)

Pros
  • Speed control allows user to change speed for specific materials and different applications (100-350rpm)
Cons
  • Easily torn

Blades not sharpened properly

The tool was a bit difficult to install on a flat piece of 22 gauge mild steel. When I positioned it correctly, it cut very well. Upon inspection, I found that one of the blades was not properly sharpened, causing the tool not to sit flat. I called DeWalt support and they confirmed that the blade wasn't sharpened properly. I'm returning the tool and Revain is replacing it, the only problem is the 3 week lead time, hopefully things will get better and I'll give maybe 4 or 5 stars for an update…

Pros
  • Powerful 5.0 amp motor, all ball bearings for long life
Cons
  • Long delivery time
