Does the blade height have a lock on this saw?

There is no lock on the blade height. I haven't noticed any movement up or down once the blade height is set.

Yes it does have the riser block option. I ordered it when I bought my saw. I actually installed it by myself but its much easier if you have someone to hold the top part of the saw while you install the block. Its so heavy its hard to do by yourself. As far as sawing wide boards I have resawn Maple, Red Oak, Cherry & Walnut up to 8" wide. I would recommend getting a resaw blade because the factory blade wont do it. I got mine from Highland woodworking, and it works great. Hope this helps with your decision. I think its a good saw for the money.

By rotating the blade guard, you could set an approximate depth of cut. You would have to hold the saw at a constant angle to achieve a constant depth of cut. My motor burned up after third use. Don't buy!

I have an older Craftsman saw. Mine measures 14" to the left of the blade and 34" to the right.

No it does not have a lock. The handle is rivetedto the blade pretty tightly thought.

That's what I have mine on. Works great. It does add a little bit of height to the saw when off the miter stand, in case that makes a difference for storage or if you have a workbench setup for it.

Hi....yes it is adjustable. There is a black lever in the back of the saw, just to the right of the electric cord. If you push the lever UP (it moves hard!) this releases the footplate and then you just move the footplate up or down in relation to the blade. When you have it perfectly set for the depth of the piece of wood you are cutting, then just go back to that black lever, and press it DOWN. (Again it doesn't move easily but you DO want to press it back down firmly to lock into place the blade adjustment level you desire.

Not at all, but then it depends on which cutting height you have it set on.

In all the times that I have used this saw. I have never had a blade fall out. The only time a blade came out was when I failed to close the lock all the way.This is a really good saw. It has done well by me. Rick

Yes. It locks quite well. There is a lock release just below the blade on the inner portion of the knife when you want to close it.

Yes, like on all saws of this type, the depth of the cut is adjusted by moving the position of the cutting plate, or sole, of the saw. By the way, this is a terrific tool. I also have the Dewalt worm-gear saw, and I find both to be excellent. This one is especially handy, light to handle but also powerful.

I wish I could answer that but I haven't even taken it out of the box. It's made specifically for that particular saw so any other saw probably would not fit it very well.

Yes the blade locks..... unfortunately the blade lock goes to far and now it won't close anymore.

Yes it does. It sits right above the top of the blade. I have never used it so I cant comment on how it works.

Really not much to it. It fits in two holes on the side of the saw and that's it (either side). Not sure but I do not believe it will fit every model saw Dewalt makes. Does not move... no adjustment either. Gives support for shorter pieces of wood so they do not just fall off the saw after cutting. Will do nothing for longer pieces being cut. The saw stand that I have has rests further away from the saw for cutting long pieces of wood.

yes, it has a locking blade and a razor sharp edge. It is also well balanced. You should have no problem.
