Dewalt DW718 Review

Many professionals and woodworking enthusiasts put off replacing their old miter saw for fear of not seeing a significant enough improvement or, even worse, getting a product that doesn’t live up to their old miter saw. Currently the most popular upgrade is the Dewalt DW718, currently one of the most popular miter saws on the market. There are two major reasons many have felt confident to choose the DW718 as their upgrade; Dewalt is a highly respected, long-standing brand and this latest model boasts many technological advancements that competitor models do not.

Laser Alignment

If you’ve had your miter saw for a good few years, the chances are you’ve not come across laser alignment on a miter saw – boy are you missing out on something! The Dewalt DW718 is fully compatible with Dewalt’s patented DW7187 adjustable laser system, which gives you accurate guidance on even the most complex cutting jobs by illuminating the full cut range. It requires some initial adjusting with the three Allen screws used to secure it, but once you’ve done this initial setup it will continue to serve you well for years to come.

Sturdy Design

Some other models have been criticized for allowing the addition of new features and technologies damage the overall sturdiness of the saw – not so on the Dewalt DW718. The saw, table, detents and the structural fixings are all built to last, backed up as with any Dewalt product by their 3 year guarantee.

High Capacity Compound Sawing

If you’re in the market for a high capacity miter saw, or looking to upgrade your current model, the DW718 really is an excellent choice. Dewalt have found the balance between useful technological advancement and the consistency that Dewalt has built their reputation on.
