Editorial Review: Amazon.com Review: 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 Amazon.com Product Description The DW718 takes cut capacity to the next level. The innovative back fence design delivers cut capacity up to 2 x 16 at 90 degrees and will cut up to 6-1/2 base molding when standing vertically against the fence. The DW718 is powered by a 15 amp motor and comes equipped with a 12-inch carbide blade which spins at 3,600 rpm. The extra tall fences and double bevel feature deliver unmatched performance. The DW718 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. The saw features a miter detent override which allows the user to override the miter stops and adjust to the miter setting desired without the saw slipping into the miter detents. The innovative machined base fence design delivers long term fence straightness by providing additional support to the fence. The DW718 is designed to accept the DW7187 DEWALT Adjustable Miter Saw Laser System (SOLD SEPERATELY, NOT INCLUDED) which delivers visibility to the cut path. The saw can be beveled to the left 0 degrees - 48 degrees and to the right 0 degrees - 48 degrees with positive stops at 0 degrees, 22.5 degrees, 33.9 degrees and 45 degrees. Weighing in at 53 pounds and equipped with dual horizontal rails, the DW718 is designed to be compact and portable. Technical Details

 Rating:  - Dewalt 718 SawThe saw is just as good as my DW708 saw. I like this saw because you can add the laser guide for cutting. Rating: - TERRIFIC SAW!I've owned this saw for about a year and I continue to be impressed with it's quality, ease of use and accuracy. I own a small cabinet shop and bench-mounted this saw to cut everything from face frames to intricate crowns. The indents were absolutely accurate right out of the box, and I especially appreciate the ease of locking in any angle. My shop space is limited and being able to mount the saw only 17-1/2" from the fence to the back wall is a real bonus. Because of it's size and weight I'd ...

It has 60 degree cuts for like stairs and so easy to use and very powerful. for the money you will never find one like this for the price. Rating:  - A flawed miter saw!DeWalt dropped the ball on this saw. I am a General Building Contractor and use the 12" sliding miter saw extensively. I've owned and truly liked the DeWalt 708 for years. Wanting to cut taller stock, in particular 5 1/4" base and oversized crown, I sold the 708 and purchased the new 718. I'll keep this short. The laser accessory is worthless as it only casts a single beam on one side of the blade and it is locked at 1/32" - 1/16" distance from the blade. The fence is NOT tall enough to cut 5 1/4" ... Read More Rating:  - DeWalt 12" sawI owned 3 of these saws and the blade is really big, so big in fact it would warp during cutting so if you need a trim saw this is not the one I would recommend.
