DeWalt DW716
$725.00
Released January, 2005
The Pros:Very powerful and smooth, cuts without any hezitation. Laser works well, easy to see and lines up well. Push lock for setting the angle is quick and easy to use.
The Cons:Laser is hard to set up at first, takes a long time to get it to line up. Need to double-check assembly when you get it, small adjustments such as over-tightened screws can make a real difference.
The DeWalt DW716 is a heavy-duty 12" double-bevel compound miter saw offered by DeWalt. Powered by a 15 amp, 3,600 rpm motor, this is a durable and powerful saw. Cutting accuracy is aided by an adjustable stainless steel miter detent plate with 11 positive stops and a machined base fence support.

Tall sliding fences support 6-1/2" moulding, and slide easily out of the way for bevel cuts. The blade can be turned left and right from 0 to 48° with postive stops at 0°, 33.9°, 45° and 48° in both directions, and the blade can be rotated for 0 - 50° miter cuts. The back fence design allows 2x10 lumber to be cut at 90°, and 2x8 lumber to be cut at 45°. This is a lightweight saw, weighing only 44 lbs, and includes a carrying handle for easy transportation.
