DW715
The DeWalt DW715 is powered by a 15 Amp motor and comes equipped with a 12" carbide blade
which spins at 4000 RPM. The DW715 incorporates an adjustable stainless steel miter detent plate
with 11 positive stops for the most common miter cuts. The saw features a miter detent override
which allows the user to override the miter stops and adjust to the miter setting desired without the
saw slipping into the miter detents while the new precise miter system delivers more repeatable
and accurate miter angles. The cam lock miter handle eliminates the need to twist the miter handle
to lock in on the miter angle and delivers a quick and solid miter lock

The DW715 is powered by a 15-amp motor and comes equipped with a 12-inch carbide blade that
spins at 3,600 rpm. Accuracy is a critical component for a solid miter saw, and the DW715 delivers.
The DW715 incorporates an adjustable stainless steel miter detent plate with 11 positive stops for

angles. The cam lock miter handle eliminates the need to twist the miter handle to lock in on the
miter angle and delivers a quick and solid miter lock. The innovative machined base fence design
delivers long-term fence straightness by providing additional support to the fence. The DW715
delivers the capacity to cut up to 6-1/2-inch base molding against the fence when mitered to the left
and crosscut capacity up to 2 x 8 dimensional lumber. The DW715 is designed to accept the DW7187
DEWALT Adjustable Miter Saw Laser System (SOLD SEPERATELY, NOT INCLUDED) which delivers
visibility to the cut path. The saw can be beveled to the left 0 to 48 degrees and to the right 0 to 3
degrees with positive stops at 0, 45 and 33.9 degrees for cutting crown molding lying flat. Weighing
in at less than 42 pounds and equipped with comfortable side handles in the base, the DW715 is
designed to be extremely portable. The DW715 includes an extension kit, carbide blade, blade
wrench and dust bag.

There are plenty of chop saws on the market, but there are a few features that set the DeWalt
DW715 apart from the mitering crowd. First among them, we think, is the great detent override,
because every corner in your workday is not a perfect 90 degrees. With most saws, it’s impossible
to set a miter at 44.5 degrees, because you’ll slide right into the otherwise handy detent. But on this
DeWalt, a simple override lets you lock into the exact – and we mean exact – angle you need to get
the tightest fit. There are 11 miter detent stops, and arriving at them takes just a squeeze on the
cam lever, which we like a whole lot more than the turnscrew knobs on other saws.
Running a close second is the machined base support for the tall sliding fence, which DeWalt
promises will never give you anything but the ultimate accuracy. We like the extra height because it
supports crown molding beautifully, even up to 5-1/4" nested and base molding up to 6-1/2"
vertically. Need a bevel cut? The fence slides neatly out of the way for bevels, anywhere from 0 to
48 degrees on the left and 0 to 3 degrees on the right. (Of course, this is the single-bevel version;
if it’s a double bevel saw you’re after, check out the DW716 and the amazing DW718.) You won’t
hear any complaining from this motor no matter what you’re cutting, as it’s drawing a beefy 15 amps
and an rpm of 3,600, slicing through 2-by oak like it’s paper.

If portability is a factor, there are few saws that rival this one, we think: It’s just 42 pounds despite
its brawny power, and a smart designer incorporated easy-on-the-body handles into the base.
Though it’s well-enough suited to the home workshop, this saw is at home at the jobsite. --Kris
