DeWALT | DW716 | DeWALT DW716 12 Inch (305mm) Double-Bevel Compound Miter Saw

Specifications

The DeWALT DW716 12 Inch (305mm) Double-Bevel Compound Miter Saw is engineered for demanding tasks, featuring a robust 15 Amp motor. It weighs 53 lbs and measures 27.5 inches in length, 18 inches in width, and 20 inches in height. The saw utilizes a 12-inch blade with a no-load speed of 3800 RPM. It offers a dual-bevel capability, allowing bevel cuts from 0° to 48° to both the left and right, with specific positive stops for common angles. Miter capacity extends from 0° to 50° in both left and right directions.

Key Features

• Powerful Motor: A 15 Amp motor delivers consistent power and durability for various cutting applications.
• Accurate Miter System: Features a stainless-steel miter detent plate with 11 positive stops, providing repeatable accuracy. A cam miter lock handle with detent override allows for quick and precise miter angle adjustments.
• Double-Bevel Design: The saw bevels 0° to 48° to both the left and right, including positive stops at 0°, 33.9°, 45°, and 48°. This design eliminates the need to flip the material for opposing bevel cuts.
• Tall Sliding Fences: Adjustable fences support crown molding up to 6-5/8 inches nested and base molding up to 6-1/2 inches vertically against the fence. These fences slide out of the way for bevel cuts.
• High Cutting Capacity: An innovative gearbox and belt-drive design enhances vertical cutting capacity. The exclusive back-fence design allows for cross-cutting 2x10 dimensional lumber at 90° and 2x8 at 45°.
• Integrated Portability: The lightweight design, combined with a head lock-down pin and built-in carry handle, ensures easy transport to and from job sites.
• Efficient Dust Collection: A high-efficiency dust duct is concentrated at the cut point for maximum debris collection, promoting a cleaner work area.
