This DEWALT single-bevel compound miter saw’s 12-inch blade is backed by a powerful and dependable 15 amp motor. Offering a no-load speed of 4,000 rpm, it makes quick work of cutting framing or molding, as well as other crosscutting and miter-cutting jobs.
This sturdy saw is designed to deliver both a versatile setup and excellent accuracy to handle a variety of applications. The precise miter system’s adjustable stainless steel miter detent plate features 11 positive stops for easy setup and improved productivity. An easy-to-adjust cam-lock miter handle delivers quick and accurate miter angles, as well as allowing for detent override–which allows you to adjust the miter setting without the saw slipping into the miter detents. The saw’s wide miter capacity–0 to 50 degrees to the left and the right–adds versatility.
In addition, a tall fence supports 5-1/4-inch crown molding nested vertically, as well as 6-1/2-inch base molding set vertically against the fence. This fence slides out of the way easily when it’s time to make bevel cuts.

Plus, with hardened steel bevel stops at 0, 33.9, 45 and 48 degrees, this saw delivers versatility and makes finding and setting the most common bevel angles a quick and easy process.

This saw is a beast I have to admit,I’ve always been one of those pro carpenters that thought DeWalt saws looked and worked cheaply. Like many of you, I have used every chop saw and dual compound miter saw imaginable. Years later I became a woodshop teacher. When I started, the old teacher before me had an nice new Makita and good old Hitachi stuffed in the back tool storage room and this saw set up prominently out on the shop floor. I decided to leave it there and see what would happen over the course of the school year.I watched this saw get day in and day out abuse from students who cut too fast, started the saw while touching the work, let the saw run too long, let the saw snap back to its upright position, chopped wood not against the fence, never cleaned the blade or used wicked dull blades all day. I had students using pine and the saw covered in sap that hardened to amber. (hey I can hear you judging me fellas, I had thirty-two inner city kids in these classes [no…
Excellent design I’m not a professional, I’m just a homeowner who appreciates quality tools, but it seems they got all the details right on this saw. Miter and bevel were perfectly aligned out of the box, which I checked with my triangle and with some test cuts. Getting it out of the box was easy too, thanks to the carrying handle on the saw head which is very solid and close to the center of balance. (Usually with big items like this you have to figure out how to get your hands underneath it and then hold the box down while you get it out.) The locking pin which keeps the saw head down when you’re carrying it can be slid in and out easily but has no problem supporting the weight, while the spring that raises the head prevents the pin from sliding out accidentally. There are also good hand holds on each side of the base with rounded edges so they don’t dig into your hands.Bevel stops at 0 and 45 degrees make it easy to switch between common angles, but can be slid back after loosening…
Disappointed with New Version I purchased this saw in November 2012, right before Amazon and DeWalt updated their websites to reflect that this is now a DW715 “Type 3″–which means they’ve altered the design. This redesign has a major negative consequence for the user: the saw is not compatible with ANY DeWalt Laser or LED worklight. Unless you can find a third-party laser to rig onto this saw, you will have no visual indicator of where it will cut before the blade hits your material.I got lucky–I went to my local Lowes on March 2 2013, and found a single “Type 2″ DW715 in stock. I quickly bought it, returned the Type 3 I bought on Amazon, and was able to attach the LED worklight no problem. If you want to find a Type 2 at your local store, it’s easy to tell the difference between the boxes. The box for a Type 2 is completely yellow, with black lettering. It also says that it’s compatible with DeWalt Laser and LED worklight systems. The box for a Type 3 has a black top, and the side…
