Overview
The DEWALT DWS716 is a 12 inch compound miter saw built for cutting molding, framing lumber and trim at up to a double bevel angle. It runs on 120 volt power and spins its blade at 3,800 RPM, with a machine weight of about 48 pounds.
DEWALT positions the DWS716 as a step up from single bevel saws, letting you tilt the blade both directions without flipping the stock. One spec field on this listing marks it battery powered, which conflicts with the 120 volt reading and the saw's known corded design, so treat the corded, mains powered reading as the reliable one.
- 12 inch double bevel compound miter saw
- 120 volt power
- 3,800 RPM no-load blade speed
- About 48 pounds
Who it's for
Trim carpenters, framers and serious DIYers who need double bevel cuts without repositioning material will get the most from this saw. Someone who only makes occasional straight crosscuts does not need the double bevel feature.
Pros and cons
- Double bevel head cuts both directions without flipping stock
- 12 inch blade capacity handles wide trim and lumber
- 3,800 RPM keeps cuts fast on typical wood stock
- 48 pounds is heavy to carry between job sites
- Listing has a conflicting power source field to verify
Performance notes
The 3,800 RPM no-load speed and 12 inch blade capacity put it in line with other full-size compound miter saws, and the double bevel head means both left and right angled cuts are set without unclamping and flipping the workpiece. At 48 pounds it stays on a stand or bench rather than moving from job to job.
