| Heavy-Duty 12" (305mm) Double-Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw - Dewalt DW718 |
The DeWalt DW718 is powered by a 15 Amp motor and comes equipped with a 12" carbide blade
spinning at 3600 RPM. The DW718's innovative back fence design delivers a cut capacity of up to 2"
x 16" at 90° angles and can cut up to 6-1/2" of base molding when standing vertically against the
back fence. The Dewalt DW718's extra tall fences and double bevel features deliver unparalleled
performance. The compound miter saw features a miter detent override which allows the user to
override the miter stops and adjust to the desired miter setting without having the saw slip into
miter detents. The Dewalt DW718 compound miter saw incorporates an adjustable stainless steel
miter detent plate with 10 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.

It’s hard to imagine anything DeWalt could do to improve this saw.
As with it little siblings, the DW716 and DW715, the feature at the top of our list is the fantastic miter
detent override, allowing you to compensate for a world that just isn’t square all the time. Normally,
setting a 44.7-degree miter would leave you with a fight on your hands with regular detents,
because of that annoying tendency saws have to snap in when you get too close. But with the
integrated override, you can cut as close to a detent as you need to without slipping in. The 718
miters 60 degrees to the left and 50 degrees to the right, with 10 zero-play detents, and all dead-on
accurate. Of course, we like the miter cam lever, too, a great improvement over the old turnscrew
knob.
The tall sliding fence has a machined support that promises nothing but the ultimate long-term
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 DeWalt715 saw. A close second to
this saw, without the slide, is available in the DW716 model.)
There are absolutely no complaints from this motor no matter what you’re cross-cutting, as it’s
drawing 15 beefy amps and has a max rpm of 3,600, slicing through 2-by oak like it’s paper. What we
found extremely impressive is the saw’s ability to crosscut a 2 x 16 just by adding an auxiliary base
to bring the stock up to level with the back fence. At a 45-degree miter, you’re still able to cross-cut
a 2 x 12.
If portability is a factor, understand that the slide function adds a little weight, so this saw tips the
scales at 53 pounds, nine pounds more than the next model down from this. Still, easy-on-the-body
handles built into the base offer a nice, wide, secure grip. This is more saw than most do-it-
yourselfers need, but it’s a contractor’s dream. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste
