4. DEWALT DWS716 dual-Bevel Compound Miter Saw

DEWALT DWS716 Dual-Bevel Compound Miter Saw
  • Stainless steel miter detent plate with 14 positive stops delivers repeatable accuracy and worksite durability for the 12-inch miter saw blade
  • Tall sliding fences of the mitre saw support crown molding up to 6-5/8-inch nested and base molding up to 6-1/2-inch vertically against fence
  • Double-bevel design of DEWALT miter saw allows saw to bevel 0 degree - 48 degree to the left and right with positive stops at 0 degree, 22.5 degree, 33.9 degree, and 45 degree
  • 0 degree - 50 degree left and right miter capacity
  • Cam lock miter handle with detent override delivers quick and accurate miter angles

As I mentioned earlier, when it comes to power tools and woodworking, there is no such thing as too many tools, especially when it comes to saws. Different types of saw, like circular saw, table saw, and jigsaw, have different purposes and simply make your life and tasks easier.

Every self-respected woodworker/DIY-er would want one in their shop. So if you are in for a hunt, have a look at this Dewalt model.

It has a powerful 15 Amp motor with 3800RPM, and at the same time, it’s lightweight and portable thanks to a built-in carry handle. It’s especially important when the user works at different locations or just needs to move it around the house.

This saw is fully packed with great features like a tall sliding fence that supports crown molding up to 6-5/8″ nested and base molding up to 6-1/2″ vertically against the fence while easily sliding out of the way for bevel cuts.

The adjustable cam lock miter handle will let make quick and precise miter cuts and bevels to the left and right up to 48°, with positive stops at 0°, 33.9°, 45°, and 48° allowing users to flip the saw, not the material.

The safety features found in this saw are also worth mentioning, as we all value our precious fingers very much. The blade is covered completely by a blade guard when raised, and as you lower it, the guard lifts out of the way, allowing you to make the cuts safely.

An interlocking trigger is another feature that has been fitted. It prevents the blade from starting unintentionally and possibly damaging the piece by making unwanted cuts.

This saw is a best seller in the miter saw category at Amazon at the moment and with over 6000 user reviews, from which over 90% are 4 and 5-star ones. Why not go and check it out for yourself?

  • Extra long 10 ft.power cord with cord wrap helps to extend your cleaning reach.
  • Powerful 4 HP motor provides maximum power of suction & blowing.Built-in blower port powerful enough to blow sawdust and debri from most any workshop

If you’re looking for a present for a serious DIY-er, this one definitely should make your list. No DIY-er/woodworker likes a messy shop, and cleaning up saw/sand dust is not a task anyone is looking forward to.

It’s a versatile tool great for indoors as well as outdoors. Blowing leaves, clearing the deck, or cleaning up the shop are only some of the tasks you can use it for.

This vac has a powerful 4-peak HP motor that is ideal for small/medium cleanup jobs and can be easily used for dust collection when working with saws/sanders. It has a durable 6 Gallon collection tank and quickly converts to a blower for a yard, patio, or shop.

The large dust sealed on/off switch makes it easy to control, and the top carry handle is great for balance. Over 17-foot cleaning reach with 7 ft. x 1-7/8-inch secure fit hose, 10 ft. cord, and 2 extension wands.

The great power and suction, as well as price, make it a very good value, and with over 1500 users’ reviews over at Amazon that 94% are 4 and 5-star ones you should go and check it out yourself.

6. DEWALT DWE6421K Variable Speed Random Orbit Sander

DEWALT Orbital Sander Kit, 5 inch, 3 amp, Corded, 12,000 OPM (DWE6421K)
  • 3.0 amp motor that spins the pad at 12,000 OPM
  • Shorter height allows the user to get closer to work piece
  • Separate counterweight design reduces vibration for improved comfort
  • Rubber over-mold in all of the critical areas of the sander
  • Improved dust-sealed switch to protect against dust ingestion for longer switch life

Sanding is one of the jobs that are usually disliked and would preferably be avoided. But if you want to achieve a great, smooth result, it has to be done. So, if you know that someone would benefit from a quality sander that would make his/her life easier, take a look at this one.

3 Amp motor and speed of 12,000 OPM will let you achieve any of your desired results. The shorter height allows for better control, and separate counterbalance reduces vibrations.

This, combined with the rubber over-mold in critical areas, reduces user fatigue. The handgrip is not too big, so would be comfortable even for small hands. Think about your lady woodworker here 🙂

Another good news is that the dust collection with the dust bag isn’t at all that bad, and the one-hand locking system keeps the bag in place, which is very handy. Great little random orbit sander that has an attractive price tag and many positive user reviews.

8. Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Sub-Compact Brushless Cordless 2-Piece Combo Kit

Makita Sub-Compact Brushless Cordless 2-Piece Combo Kit
  • Driver-drill weighs only 2.8 lbs. With battery for reduced operator fatigue
  • Compact and ergonomic design at only 6-3/8" long
  • Mechanical variable 2-speed transmission (0-500 and 0-1,700 RPM) for a wide range of drilling and driving applications
  • Integrated L.E.D. battery charge level indicator allows user to monitor battery charge
  • Provides up to 50% more run time per charge compared to BL1815

A power drill is a must-have for any DIY-er, homeowner, or woodworking professional. With many types of power drills, you get a variety of applications.

This combo from Makita is an extremely compact, cordless 2-piece kit that includes a brushless 1/2″ driver-drill and a brushless impact driver, both with L.E.D. flashlight, charger, and two 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Compact batteries.

Both tools are light, small, and versatile. The drill driver has a mechanical variable 2-speed transmission (0-500 and 0-1,700 RPM) for a wide range of drilling applications.

And the impact driver has variable speed (0-1,300/0-3,000 RPM & 0-1,600/0-3,900 IPM) and 1,240 in.lbs. of max torque.

These tools are powered by 18V LXT Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries with the fastest charging times in their categories, so you spend more time working and less time waiting for the batteries to charge.  Fitted with brushless motors, battery energy use for up to 50% longer run-time per charge. 

They are fitted with Star Protection Computer Controls that protect against overloading, over-discharging, and overheating, so they will last you longer. And if you’re really busy, I recommend buying spare ones so you always have them on hand, ready to use.

With many happy users leaving reviews on Amazon, why not go and check them yourself to make sure you have a perfect gift?

Don’t forget about the little things that always come in handy when it comes to DIY/woodworking. I thought that you might like the stocking filler ideas.
