Has Home Depot dropped this saw from their inventory? Now what?

The recalled saw is a different model. It is a floor standing unit, not a portable.

Call the company. They actually make a special chain for this saw. I found that out the hard way.

They don't make my saw anymore. Only the Chinese version. If you want the Japanese made saw you can only get refurbished ones, which, might still be better than the Chinese saw everyone's been having quality issues with

Bought it from one of the resellers on Amazon. It think it was an overstock item or something. Seems like the best 16 inch electric chainsaw out there, needs little to no maintenance. I still haven't used mine yet but plan to soon.

I am becoming skeptical that it will ever be released...I thought this was too good to be true...A real wall-scanner for 300 $ ?? The DeWalt website actually claims it is in stock both here and on other tool supply sites but all the sites they point you to are on "PreOrder" status. AcmeTools claims availability "approx September" while the other sites claim "avail July". On their Facebook page someone asks this very question on the 4th of July. A DeWalt employee answers the question on the 8th of July saying it is available and provides a link to their re-sellers list which I have pointed out mostly claim wrongly "In Stock". On the 10th of July the poster points out that the stores that DeWalt claim have stock all don't. They never reply to that afterwards - kinda just fades away.

This is super inconvenient! there is no excuse either, as the thumb screw doesn't come with the saw, so of course it should come with the ripping gauge. and on amazon you could spend the same amount as the ripping gauge on a thumb screw! try a good hardware store. home depot in my area doesn't have it. maybe a different home depot, or maybe lowe's... it's a 10-32 thread thumb screw, probably needs to be about 3/4" long

Have never experienced anything like that. I would ensure the saw unit is mounted / secured to a bench or table before operating. Otherwise - sounds like it needs to go into the shop.

My saw is brand new. I read specific ads noting rebuilt units. Porter-Cable has always been a "gold standard" in my 45 years of construction.

I have not assembled my saw yet. Best answer I can give is probably. Contact the compny that sells the brand here. They were quick to answer my questions last year.

I just bought two of them, could not find a store that sold them in pieces. Now that you mentioned it, I should check if I can find a part at Home Depot.

T,The saw that I returned was the yellow/black one apparently with the wrong label. Actually it had the correct label on the underside of the hand guard as well as all of the other decals that suggested that it was the 4HP - 18" model. The incorrect label was on the motor housing itself. Another reason that I returned it was because the box must have taken a pretty good hit since it was pretty well trashed and the bar was sticking out of one end about four inches... didn't want to mess with it as it could have had some "internal" injuries. I expect to have my new one today, will let you know how things go... T,The saw that I returned was the yellow/black one apparently with the wrong label.

I never thought about ordering a replacement chain from SnoJoe. I just go down to my local saw shop (or hardware store) and they make one up for me for about $15.00 - they will sharpen the existing chain for about $8

John, I can't give you a accurate answer for your area, bit we have a local distributor in Ashland VA who does service everything they sell. On a better note! I have worked the crap out of 2 of these saws and haven't had the first bit of problems with either one. I was sceptical at forst, but truly a good saw!

Good luck. Send it back to Amazon. I did after a month or so and paid a restocking fee. Get a real gun. I now have a Porta-Nails 470A, that replaced the Porter Cable nailer that replaced the Akuzuki nailer.
