Great Heavy Duty Saw

I've had my miter saw for about three years now, and it's still plugging right along with no problems. I have yet to find a job it can't handle. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Great value over many years!
Rating: 5
I bought this model over 10 years ago, and have used it many, many times over this period of time. It was used by the Boy Scouts for 2 different Eagle Scout projects, and loaned out for use in a neighborhood hit with basement floodings to do repair work. I finally bought a new blade, and it still works like new. Built for precision. Bought son-in-law the same model last year, which has been used extensively for home remodeling.

Great results!

This saw was easy to set up and I get accurate cuts every time. Blade changes are easy. The saw has plenty of power for heavy duty cutting as well as the finesse to make more delicate cuts. I really enjoy this saw! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

this Mited Saw is the first ive bought so far this tool has proven to be very efficient in cuts and pretty sharp for tha variety of materials ive worked on, im currently working on making furniture so wood is cut pretty easy. i will work on a few more things around the house and will try to update as soon as i can. to be honest DeWalt miter saw has gone over my expectation. good buy for the price

I love this thing
Rating: 5
When I finally lay this saw to rest it will be replaced with a 12" slide miter saw. Even the weight won't stop me from bringing this saw to the job. From finish to rough this thing is a beast. I had to purchase a saw blade arbor adapter (DWAMTRABR) to fit the 12" blade. But I love it. I've considered getting the laser but works well without it.

Excellent Compound Miter Saw
Rating: 5
I have been using this saw for 3 months now and have been very happy with the results. It creates very accurate cuts with and is easy to adjust when switching to different angles. The fence is very sturdy and large enough to hold most materials. If you are doing trim work, I highly recommend investing in the crown stops that are available for this model. Overall, I feel like this is a very high quality product.

Great saw
Rating: 4
Bought this saw about 10 or so years ago and was great. Recently I can't get 90 degree cuts. Saw is unplugged and guard is clamped. Arm is in the home position(up all the way) and I have my electronic Wixey gauge mounted to the side ( magnetic) of my new 12 inch blade with 100 teeth. Saw set at 90 degrees and I slowly bring the arm down all the way and my gauge reads 89.5 degrees. This is too much out of alignment for making jewelry boxes. Checked everything to manual and I believe that my problem is in the trunion and pivot pin. I need some help. When I call the customer service I get no help. They tell me to take it to a service center for $185.00. Has anyone experienced this problem, I need your help. Thanks, Abbey Thomas

Cracks in casting
Rating: 2
How many people tilt the saw back and look for cracks? I bought a DW716 and when I went to engrave my 4 digit I.D. number on it and it was cracked in several places.
