DEWALT DW718 12-Inch Double Bevel Slide Compound Miter Saw Review

If you are looking for some really functional crosscutting or miter-cutting applications, DEWALT DW718 12-Inch Double Bevel Slide Compound Miter Saw is just what you need. This is a powerful miter saw that features a 15 AMP motor with 3,600 rpm, providing the sturdiness that you are definitely going to need when doing those precise and accurate cuts.

 DEWALT DW718 makes baseboard cutting and crown molding a piece of cake, thanks to its miter detent plate that is made of stainless steel and that is also adjustable, having no less than eleven positive stops for even more productivity and efficiency in terms of cutting. Other feature that adds value to the accuracy of this saw is the machined base face support, and due to the tallness of the sliding fences, the saw can support base molding up to 6-1/2-inch vertically against the fence and crown molding up to 6-5/8-inch nested.

Plus, DEWALT DW718 12-Inch Double Bevel Slide Compound Miter Saw includes a great new gearbox and a belt drive design for even more cutting capacity on the vertical. The carbide blade and the blade wrench make this saw a really nice asset for every man’s home, while the dust bad transforms it into an even more convenient tool.

Analyzing its motor, we can say that the cuts will be quite fast and extremely accurate, so you don’t really need to be a professional to get the job done nicely. The design of the saw and its overall sturdiness enables some really versatile setups that are needed for miter applications, and the miter’s capacity of 0 up to 60 degrees to the left and 0 up to 50 degrees to the right are precise arguments that sustain this idea.

If we were to refer to the fencing and the sliding rails, we need to mention the fact that the impressively tall fence can hold up to 6-1/2-inch base molding when set against the fence and up to 6-5/8-inch crown molding nested when placed vertically. If you need to do some nice bevel cuts, the fence is going to slide smoothly out of your way, and thanks to the double steel rails that are place horizontally and the new clamping mechanism, the sturdiness and precision of the DEWALT DW718 12-Inch Double Bevel Slide Compound Miter Saw are incommensurable.

For more interesting features of this saw, we need to refer to its portability and compatibility with the DEWALT Laser and the LED System. First of all, considering its 53-pound lightweight and its carry handle that is built-in, you can take it anywhere you need to without too much hassle. This is highly advantageous for those who often find themselves into the situation of needing to use the saw several times a week. Plus, the fact that this particular saw is in fact compatible with the DEWALT DW7187 adjustable miter saw laser system which is unfortunately sold separately makes it a great choice. Imagine how much accuracy you can gain using the red laser line when doing your cuts. You can also use this saw together with the DWS7085 light, which adds more light to the working surface and helps you identify the specific cut line easier.
