Editorial Reviews:

A serious tool capable of making a wide range of cuts, the DeWalt DW716 double-bevel 12-inch compound miter saw makes use of a 15.0 amp, 3,600 RPM motor to ensure the power, durability, and versatility that professional craftsmen and women need. Eleven positive stops on the adjustable stainless steel detent plate and a cam lock miter handle with detent override make all the most frequently used miter cuts easy to achieve. Furthermore, DeWalt's exclusive back fence makes it possible to cut two by ten dimensional lumber at 90-degree angles, and to cut two by eight lumber at 45 degrees, while the unique double bevel design allows you create both left and right bevels from 0 to 48 degrees. Positive stops in commonly used positions make it easy to change the position of the saw instead of flipping the material to give you more complete control. A machined base fence support helps guarantee accuracy, while the innovative engineering behind the gearbox and belt-drive increases vertical cutting capacity. In order to help you take advantage of this capacity, the saw's extra-tall fences leave space to cut nested crown moldings up to 6-5/8 inches and base molding up to 6-1/2 inches in a vertical position up against the fence. And you don't have to worry about these fences interfering with bevel cuts, because they slide neatly out of the way. This fully-featured miter saw is relatively lightweight at just 44 pounds, and it offers a built-in carrying handle that makes it easy to move from job to job. It's also noteworthy that this saw is designed for use with the DW7187 DeWalt adjustable miter saw laser system (NOT INCLUDED), which makes the cutting path visible for improved accuracy and easier handling. Included with this saw is a durable carbide blade, a blade wrench, and dust bag to get you started.

User Comments about the DEWALT DW716 15 Amp 12-Inch Double-Bevel Compound Miter Saw

This is a great saw but Northern Tool& Equipment has a better price on this right now. 339.00 plus free shipping

Like others, I had to spend about 30 minutes calibrating it out of the box, but that also provided overall familiarity with the tool. If you don't own a good miter saw, rob your wife or your mom to get one. It makes carpentry much easier. I've had 10-inch miter saws but this is my first 12-inch and wow, what a difference it makes. The speed and accuracy alone will pay off with your first project.

This DW716 slices through anything -- wood, steel, PVC, copper, even stones and brick. These generally sell for 20% less at your local hardware store when on sale than here at Amazon, so shop around. Going from 10 to 12 inches brings only one gripe: the cost of blades is about 50% more. Yet this 15-amp baby has so much torque it really pays off.

But the side benefit is that the blade casts a shadow on the work piece and has you bring the blade close to the work piece the shadow becomes sharper telling you exactly where the blade will cut. The DW716 is about what you would expect from DeWalt. Mine was dead accurate out of the box and quiet.What I did not expect was the LED work light. Much better than a laser that get out of alignment and is hard to see in the sun.Nice idea DeWalt. It is set up to light the blade from both sides.

The box was damaged and the guard slightly damaged (I was able to fix it easily). My local store had it at same price but 8% sales tax - YUK. Free shipping/no sales tax is why I bought it from Amazon. Received from Amazon in fair shape. It appeared the saw was a return. The government will never learn. However, I love the saw and the light is a neat add-on.

The motor burned out after only 4 months of use. Expected much more from DeWalt.
