So far it’s a great saw. I also bought the dewalt miter saw stand which makes it easy to work with longer boards.

Perfect cuts right out of the box! Love the light system also! Definitely makes life in the wood shop a ton easier and highly recommend Dewalt tools.

Dewalt is always a great product when you want high quality tools

Arrived quickly. Calibration was dead on out of the box. Well built and a relatively smooth spin up thanks to the belt drive. The XPS light is useful and has pretty good precision. Very good buy.

I have used this saw almost daily since purchased. The saw is powerful and accurate right out of box. Blade is just ok, XPs light is very handy, worth the price (paid less for model with light online shipped to store for free than model in stock at store without light!) crown stops are a nice add on

I’ve used this saw at my previous employer. It still remains my favorite.With the motor mounted in the back it allows for a better viewing angle on the right. The light for the tru cut feature couldn’t be more accurate. You can visibly see each tooth on the blade before you make contact on your wor

Excellent choice, never a doubt when you choose DeWalt.

I am certainly not an expert on power tools, and this is the first miter saw that I have used. I bought it 2 months ago for finishing off part of my basement. It certainly has met my needs after a short learning curve. The documentation was less than optimal, but the documentation is probably not needed for someone with more experience. I like the XPS light. It certainly makes the saw easier to use.

I did a lot of research before buying this particular saw. Weight is good and better balanced on miter cart than a slider, cuts are more accurate as well. The XPS lighting system is far superior to the laser some saws have. Price at HD is $100 less than MSRP and $50less than the DW716, which is the exact same saw without the lighting feature. One note of caution; my first miter cuts were off and I was worried that there was a problem with the saw. When I went back to the instructions it stated that the saw was adjusted at the factory, which it was, but it failed to mention that for shipping, to fit in the box, the vertical angle if off set slightly. once I adjusted it back to 90 degrees, it was perfect. I consider this my fault not theirs, should have checked everything.

Perfect right out of the box, I had alignment issues with my old saw (not dewalt) so that was a priority for me. This saw was dead on and didn’t need any adjustments. No complaints so far, I highly recommend this saw.

This is the third saw of this type that I have owned. My first was a Delta, My second was a Bosche. I chose this one due to cost, the top mounted motor design, and the innovative XPS lighting system and couldn’t be more pleased. The mechanism is solid with no noticeable play. Careful checking for squareness and true showed less than 0.001″ off and less that 2 arc seconds in angle. Checking stops at 22-1/2 and 45 showed similar results. Even the blade that came with it was better than normal. The XPS light not only works as advertised, but self adjusts based on the blade installed. I love it. Would buy this again and recommend it to any of my woodworking friends.
