I would be concern if dropped, the edge would break. It still wasn't dead after that. I resorted to removing the plastic feet. Had it more than a year still going strong and cuts great. The quality of all of the components is excellent.

DEWALT DWE7480 Final Thoughts
"Its a great tool."
You can do this on your own no problems. The fence was right on so was the bevel. I find the quality of the saw impeccable. Easy assembly, works exactly as expected. Loud and dusty, sure, but that is expected.
