I run a professional cabinet door shop, and i use a chop saw very frequently, I’ve had a few Dewalt non-sliders and have been very happy with them. I bought a ridged 12" slider with the stand a few years back for installing cabinets, never again will I ever consider the ridged or the stand. I currently don’t have a slider, if I consider one again I’ll have to look around to see what’s out there.
