Heavy-Duty 12" (305mm)
Double-Bevel Compound Miter
Saw - Dewalt DW716
Manual
DW716
The DeWalt DW716 is powered by a 15 Amp motor and comes equipped with a 12" carbide blade
spinning at 3600 RPM. The DW716 features extra tall fences and double bevel feature delivering
unmatched performance. The DeWalt DW716 incorporates an adjustable stainless steel miter detent
plate with 11 positive stops for the most common miter cuts. 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 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 innovative machined base
fence design of the DW716 delivers long term fence straightness by providing additional support to
the fence. The DeWalt DW716 delivers the capacity to cut up to 6-1/2" base molding against the fence
when mitered to the left or right and delivers up to a 2" x 10" crosscut with the innovative back fence
design

This comes pretty darned close to being the ideal jobsite saw. Heading the list of features we love is
the great miter detent override, allowing you to compensate for a world that just isn’t square all the
time. Normally, you’d have a fight on your hands with regular detents because of that annoying
tendency saws have to snap into the detent when you get too close. But built into the cam lock miter
handle is a detent override, and you can cut as close to a detent as you need to without slipping in. It
miters from 0 to 50 degrees both right and left, and of course, there are the 11 positive stops you
expect, and all dead-on accurate. The cam lever is a great improvement over the turnscrew knob on
the miter arm, too.

The tall sliding fence has a machined support that promises nothing but the ultimate accuracy. We like
the extra height because it supports crown molding beautifully, even up to 6-5/8 inches nested and
base molding up to 6-1/2 inches vertically. Need a bevel cut? The fence slides neatly out of the way
for bevels, anywhere from 0 to 48 degrees both left and right. (If you’re in the market for this much
power but just a single bevel, check out the DeWalt 715 saw. If you want all this, a bag of chips and a
slider, step up to the DW718.) There are absolutely no complaints from this motor no matter what you’
re cross-cutting, as it’s drawing a beefy 15 amps and has a max rpm of 3,600, slicing through 2-by oak
like it’s paper. What we found impressive is the saw’s ability to crosscut a 2-by-10 just by adding an
auxiliary base to bring the stock up to level with the back fence.

If portability is a factor, there are few saws that rival this one, we think: It’s just 44 pounds despite its
brawny power, and a smart designer incorporated easy-on-the-body handles into the base that offer a
nice, wide, secure grip. Though it’s well-enough suited to the home workshop, this saw is at home at
the jobsite.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste
