| Heavy-Duty 8-1/2" Single-Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw - Dewalt DW712 |
The DeWalt DW712 8-1/2" miter saw is designed for trim carpenters, cabinet makers, woodworkers,
framers and stair builders. This is the only 8-1/2" miter saw with a fence system and enough capacity
for users to vertically cut 3-1/4" base molding and 3-1/2" crown molding nested vertically. This saw
is able to cut through 3" newel posts in one pass, an application important to stair builders. In
addition, the DW712 can be used to crosscut a 2-by-12 board at 90°s and a 2-by-8 board at 45°s. The
DW712 cuts miter angles up to 50°s left and 60°s right. The saw features an adjustable steel detent
plate for increased miter accuracy and has 11 positive miter stops, including 0, 15, 22-1/2, 31.6, 45,
50and 60°s.

Here’s huge cutting capacity in a surprising size. This 8-1/2 inch single-bevel miter saw really does
cut a 3-inch post in a single pass, just like DeWalt says. And it’s also the only saw its size we’ve
seen that will trim 3-1/2-inch crown molding vertically, because of DeWalt’s taller fence. With its
smooth slide action, you’ll choose this over your table saw when it comes to cross cutting—-even a
12-inch board. It’s got all the features of the bigger, high-end saws, and then some. Five preset
bevel stops zero your blade in at 0, 33.9, 45, 48, and -2 degrees, and there are 11 dead-on accurate
miter stops at the most common spots: 0, 15, 22-1/2, 31.6, 45, 50 (left), and 60 (right) degrees. What
we like best about this saw is the awesome ergonomic details. Anyone who’s used comparable saws
repeatedly will tell you that the vertical handle causes some fatigue, especially on saws with a
safety button. But this saw’s got a horizontal handle, keeping your hand and arm in a more natural
position, cut after cut. Most saws’ miter adjustment involve turning a knob a few revolutions to lock
and then to unlock the miter setting, but this DeWalt has a really nice cam lever lock that eliminates
all that twisting and is just as reliable. This saw does throw a lot of dust, but we’ve not seen a saw
that doesn’t (even those with dustbags still make a mess). We’d recommend building a little jig to
hold your extraction system hose close by. This is a fabulous saw for the contractor. It weighs only
43 pounds and is easy to tote because of the handle. But it’s also the perfect choice for the
woodworker. An aside: DeWalt makes a great miter saw stand that fits this saw like a dream.--Kris
