DeWalt DW718 Review - What I Think of the DeWalt DW718 Sliding Compound Miter Saw


!±8± DeWalt DW718 Review - What I Think of the DeWalt DW718 Sliding Compound Miter Saw

The DeWalt DW718 is a 12-inch dual bevel sliding compound miter saw that comes equipped with a powerful 15-amp motor that operates at 3,600 RPM. The bevels are at 0 to 48 degrees which gives you better cut capacity and there's also 4 bevel stops at 0, 22.5, 33.9, and 45 degrees in both directions so that you can flip the saw instead of the material you're cutting.

The DeWalt DW718 has a very precise miter system along with a machined base fence support to allow you to make accurate cuts every time. The adjustable stainless steel detent plate is another great feature because it has 10 positive stops to give you even more accuracy and durability.

The vertical cutting capacity is also very nice with this miter saw. It miters 60 degrees to the left and 50 degrees to the right and is able to cut 3-1/2 crown vertically and 3-1/4 base vertically.

Another great aspect of this DeWalt model is the miter cam lock system. This makes the saw much easier to use and gives you a more accurate miter table positioning. There is also a tall sliding fence that supports crown molding up to 6-5/8 inches nested and base molding up to 6-1/2 inches vertically against the fence. This can be easily slid out of the way though when you need to do bevel cuts.

You're able to cut up to 2x16 dimensional lumber at 90 degrees and 2x12 inch lumber at 45 degrees with the built-in back fence design. The weight of the DeWalt DW718 is 53 pounds and although it doesn't come with a laser, you're able to easily equip one because it's compatible with the DW7187 laser system.
