Dude I don’t know if you practiced your review because it’s great. If Dewalt isn’t paying you they should. I’m going to look for one right now, thank you.
One of the best reviews I've seen for any product.
You do the best reviews-- very informative and demonstrable and always skipping the nonsense and never playing dj with some intolerable music. Kudos to you!
great review! the reviewer didn't waste anytime, talked quickly, and covered many great points in a short time!
Bad ass dude, thanks. I just got this saw for 200. You made me feel better about it. I seen other videos you've done. I'm stoked
Just picked up a DWS716 dual bevel for $180 new in the box. Thanks for the review

It's an old review but helpful to me in 2023 as I get back to my long-neglected DW716 Type 3. Need to find the light attachment, clamp & other extenders. Thanks
Exactly what I was looking for in a 715 vs 716 comparison. Straight to the point. Hit all the major differences. Very good presentation. Looking forward to other reviews. How about the 779 vs 716?
@ToolCraze

Main difference is the 779 is a larger saw and a slider but doesn't have the built in LED shadow light system. The 779 is basically a 780 with a few missing features
I don’t know much about miter saws, but I picked this model up in Lowe’s marked down from $430 to $300. Watching your video confirms I made a good choice. Thanks Javier!

One thing worth noting, is that last time I was in home depot and lowes, looking at these saws, thinking about adding a 715 to the tool arsenal, to my surprise, dewalt is silently killing compatibility with the xps led system. This is true in the 713, 715, and 716. I bought my 713 used for this reason. I really, really love the led, because it cast a perfect shadow of the blade kerf onto the work piece for a damn near perfect cut every time. That being said, these are still the most outstanding saws I have ever used, and I absolutely love them.

I've heard that about the compatibility. I did some research and couldn't find out which type doesn't have compatibility. Said compatible with models 1-4 but weird that it doesn't say compatible with all models. I looked at the pdf manual for type 4 and says it's compatible with both lights. Also when I was at Lowe's I looked at the box in store for the dw716 and said it right there on the box it was compatible with both lights. I even took a picture, but I couldn't find any info on the box about what type 1-4 it was. On the parts website I could see 5 models: type 1, type 2, type 20, type 3, type 4. I wonder if type 20 is the oddball

Thanks. I know what a dado is and what a stop block is, though I've never heard of a stop block for dado's on a miter saw. I'm not even sure if you can install a dado stack on this or any miter saw. Those are for table saws if they have the threads long enough to support them. Maybe you can enlighten me on this???

Impact driver: Dewalt 20v brushless compact DCF895 vs Milwaukee M12 2453 Hammer drill/driver: Dewalt 20v brushless compact DCD795 vs Milwaukee M12 2404 Thank you, Javier!!!

Out of all those I've only tried the m12 fuel impact. So it's hard for me to comment on the others without having tried them. I really like the m12 fuel but personally I like having both 12v and 18v tools and choose between the 2. If you can afford them I would get both impacts. I cant suggests both drills though to own at the same time, too similar from a spec standpoint, but then again like i said I haven't tried them. I like having a 12v and a heavy duty 18v combination.
could you do a video concentrating on the back fence procedure. I need a good explanation of the way to add the underboard and what I need to do. Thanks.
@ToolCraze

+David Lowrance I'll keep it under consideration, it's quite simple actually and can easily be explained. Remove both fences- that's it really. With the fences now gone you can use the built in back fence, although you will need a wide 2x lumber underneath to support the one being cut
Keep in mine since its 2016 the dws 715 has 3 types and if you buy a type 3 version the led add on will not fit .
Awesome review Javier! Looks like a great saw too!

Hey Javier! I am looking for a 12" compound miter saw and one thing I noticed about the DW715 is that only the Type 3 is being sold (at least everywhere I looked). The DW715 Type 3 is not compatible with the optional laser accessory. It's a shame because the DW715 is $199 now on Amazon with free shipping, while I can find the DW716 for $330.
@ToolCraze
10 жыл бұрын
That's too bad about the compatibility issue. I've heard about it I just didn't know what models and types. $199 is a good deal for the dw715 and atleast you can buy those laser attachments that go next to the blade although probably not as good as the dewalt laser accessory
Great job!! I'd get a sliding saw. Or I'd get Boschs axle glide saw. Dewalt makes good stuff.

What size bolts do you need to mount that to the table? My DWS715 didn't come with those bolts and I can't find that information anywhere. I can pick bolts up with washers and lock washer up at a hardware store easy, i just wanna know what size i need before going there. Just going to mount it to a 1/2 inch piece of plywood table i made up.

I go by eye, the only thing I'll measure is the length needed for the bolt so it's not too long or too short then get the appropriate sized hardware
Hey tool crazy. What is better, a laser guide or a shadow guide? I used to have a saw with laser but never used it. I would just drop the blade down to the wood right on my line and then I would start cutting. Does the dw715 come with a shadow guide accessories? Thanks.

Wasn't aware of the dw709 at the time so It didn't come down to either or situation like you're describing. I went with this model back then because I needed something as compact as possible but yet could cut large width laminate flooring planks which is what I was doing at the time. Sliding saws were too big for my needs at the time. But since then my needs have changed and now I have the dhs790 dewalt model

I bought the 713 10 inch single for doing my home projects but I ended up with the Type 2 so I took it back coz it would not accept the light or laser. I went to 6 stores looking for a 716 that takes the light/laser. Can you tell me the difference between the types (1, 2, 3, 4 & 20)? The only thing I found out so far is that the Type 20 will not take the light/laser.
@ToolCraze

Tony D not sure what all the differences are between types. Could be minor manufacturer differences but you can always contact DeWalt for more info. I've heard about the incompatibility with types before although I didn't know which type was affected. At the time I did this video, Lowes was carrying some on stock that were compatible with the laser, I even took a picture- says compatible with laser on the box
Nice job!
Anybody own this saw? I've read some reviews that claim the motor is underpowered and bogs down on thicker wood and the bolt to change the blades is a hassle...
@ToolCraze
3 жыл бұрын
Hey there, I used to own this saw. You should watch my video review to see if this saw is weak and can't handle thicker wood. I'm not sure if I covered how to change a blade, but it does require more steps to change a blade since the blade guard has to be moved out of the way to access the blade bolt. Whether that's a hassle is subjective however it requires more steps than a circular saw. I'd say someone is lazy if they think a couple of extra steps is a hassle for something that has to be done every once in a long long while. As far as cutting thicker wood, you really should watch this video to see how it performs with your own eyes. What you heard sounds to me like whoever owned this saw needed to replace their blade. Yes, blades do become dull and need replacing after so much use.
Thanks Jeremy!

This was an informative video. Very informative. "LIKE". Would have liked to see a little more detail about the accessories that 'should' have been included, and seen them in action. The crown stop for example. You mentioned it could also be used as a repetitive length cut stop? How would you mount it in that case? Dewalt's website is awful. I can't find the accessories anywhere on their website other than in the user's manual. They don't even list them wiht the saw (I was just there right before I watched this) Anyway - good job. You've about made my mind up for me with this video. Thank you again.

Javier, awesome video man! I have the first model of this saw before the clamp for locking the table. I was wondering if you could tell me if you know how to square up the fence? My left and right side fences seem to be out of alignment. CJ

Case 275 thanks CJ. Hey sorry for the late reply, I had to go take a look first before I said anything. On my miter saw there aren't any adjustments for either back fences other than being able to slide them left and right or remove completely. If these are out of square then it would mean either the base that holds the fences or the fences themselves are bent but you did say yours was the older model so I don't know if that one has the ability to adjust. Sorry I couldn't be much help.

ToolCrazy To be honest I smiled a little. :) OMT stands for oscillating multi tool. Like the Fein MultiMaster, DeWALT DWE315 or Bosch GOP 250 for example. These are really handy tools because of their multifunctionality. You can cut pvc pipes, wood, thin steel, use them as a small sander, use them for grinding and much more. I think that is why these things are called OMT. Really cool lightweight tools and highly efficient.
