Dewalt Miter Saw,12 inch, Double-Bevel, Compound Miter Saw - DW716

The new line of DEWALT miter saws addresses current construction trends, such as the use of larger materials. The new miter saws also respond to the increasing need among construction professionals for greater adjustability. In response to these trends, DEWALT spent a significant amount of time with end users to understand the application trends and unmet needs with their miter saws, a relatively unchanged category over the last few years.
DEWALT utilized its user feedback to conclude that professional end users are looking for miter saws with increased cutting capacity, accuracy, durability and that, overall, are easier to use. Given that knowledge, DEWALT set out to design a new line of miter saws with innovative technologies to meet the needs of its end users. The DW715 and the DW716 have also been designed to offer increased cutting capacity. All of the new miter saws are equipped with easy to use miter and bevel locks to ensure accuracy.
Accuracy
The DW715 and DW716 come equipped with a new precise miter system to deliver repeatable and accurate miter cuts. Additionally, all of the saws have a first-of-its-kind machined base fence support system, which provides a more rigid fence and ensures greater accuracy when making cuts.
DEWALT designed its new line of 12” miter saws with many intuitive features that make them easier for the end user to operate. A simple to use cam lock miter handle is featured on all of the saws. This new miter lock allows the user to quickly lock the saw in place when performing miter cuts. Additionally, DEWALT has created a miter detent override system, enabling the user to fine-tune their miter angles without the saw slipping into the miter detents. The DW715 and DW716 are equipped with bevel crown stops, which allow the user to quickly position the miter saw when cutting their crown molding laying flat.
Portability and Durability
All the new DEWALT 12” miter saws were designed for easy transport and meeting the rigors on and off the jobsite. The DW715 and DW716 incorporate new integrated handle locations in the base which make them easier to carry from the vehicle to the jobsite and job to job. All DEWALT miter saws are built with adjustable stainless steel miter detent plates, which deliver long term and repeatable accuracy.
