Tool Review
However, I wouldn’t be able to use this to cut material that require some precision cuts. This is somewhat disappointing to see such problem in a tool made by DeWalt. The only question that I’m left with is why DeWalt didn’t go with a brushless motor on this model. Run time is excellent and cutting is confident, so I wouldn’t say that it necessarilyneeds it… but it’d be nice. Perhaps that was how they were able to keep the kit price under $400.
You could spend more but in my opinion this saw is capable of the finest cuts you’ll need to make especially if you upgrade from the 60-tooth to an 80-tooth or higher count blade. The saw doesn’t come with extension supports but a good work support stand is available from Dewalt, or you could do like most woodworkers and build your own saw stand to suit your needs. It can make straight horizontal cuts up to 13-3/4” which means you could crosscut a 2 x14 laid flat on the table. For cabinet makers, this means cutting shelving without having to flip the pieces over to finish the cuts. It also can cut baseboard pieces up to 6-3/4” high because the motor is stacked above the saw and driven with a belt, providing maximum depth of cut.
Perfect for almost all uses across all experience levels, thanks to a total weight of 47lbs and an overall, user-friendly design. The DWS780 definitely holds an impressive cutting capacity, and is perfect for small to medium and even larger pieces up to 16”. Next consideration is how much weight you’ll be putting on the stand. In this lineup, the DWX724 stand wins in this category. It is rated to handle up to 500 pounds, more than the other two on this list. There are a few key differences between the three miter saw stands on this list.
Look into it yourself, my saw model is DW705 and the clamp part # is DW7052, then go to Milwaukee or Makita or one of the others manufactures before you buy a dewalt. To summarize, the DEWALT DW718 Compound Miter dewalt accessories Saw is great to have around when you need your cutting jobs done in no time and with no hassle thanks to its great features. Thanks to the great features of this saw, the majority of its reviews are positive.
The table is smooth, the motor is a beast and the saw cuts awesome. There is a reason this has 392 reviews at dewalt tools The Home Depot with an average rating of 4.7. While the blade is decent, I am a fan of the Diablo blades.
Most brands use a laser that can be adjusted if when accuracy becomes an issue. The DeWalt DCS361 avoids this by using an LED that helps the blade cast a shadow on its cut line. In the shop, I had no problem seeing my cut line from the raised position.
