Maybe worth a mention; you can get the DW706 (dual bevel)
reconditioned for around 250. I picked one up at the Denver WW show
for 209.

Can anyone take some tolerance measurements and post them here?
Blade runout ____ (mine is 0.010)
Fence to fixed table squareness (nearly perfect)
Fence to rotating table squareness (off 2-3 degrees)

Miter and bevel can easily be "tuned", but my out of squareness issue
is bugging me.
