Accurate and a Pleasure to Use
I replaced my 20-year old Delta Miter Saw with the DeWalt 717. I had planned on purchasing the Bosch 10" slider, but after analyzing and fretting and then testing the new DW717, decided for the money, the DW717 was the best saw for our shop.Out of the box the saw was setup pretty well, not perfect. It took a whopping five minutes to set up and test the 0 deg, 45L deg, and 45R deg settings. I read the instructions but did not follow them. I think my method was faster and turned out to be highly effective. I loosed the screws that attached the miter scale, then loosened the miter lock and override. I then moved the carriage to set the blade to 90 degrees. I then locked down the miter lock and override, moved the miter scale to line up the indicator to 0 degrees, and tightened the miter scale screws. Made a couple of test cuts in a sheet of MDF (12" wide) to verify that the saw was cutting accurately, and it was. Tested miters at 45L and 45R, and found them to be accurate as...

Smart, Powerful Design for Quick, Accurate CutsThe DEWALT double-bevel sliding compound miter saw's 10-inch blade is backed by a powerful and dependable 15 amp motor. Offering a no-load speed of 4,000 rpm, it makes quick work of cutting framing or molding, as well as other crosscutting and miter-cutting jobs.
This sturdy saw is designed to deliver precise cuts, allowing for the versatile setups required for miter applications. The precise miter system's adjustable stainless steel miter detent plate features 11 positive stops for easy setup and improved efficiency. An easy-to-adjust cam-lock miter handle delivers quick and accurate miter angles, and features a convenient detent override, which allows you to adjust the miter setting without the saw slipping into the miter detents. And the saw's big miter capacity--0 to 60 degrees to the left and 0 to 52 degrees to the right--adds versatility.
Tall Fencing and Compact Sliding Rails
The tall fence supports 6-1/4-inch crown molding nested vertically, as well as 6-inch base molding set against the fence. The fence slides out of the way easily when it's time to make bevel cuts. This saw stays compact thanks to its sliding saw dual horizontal steel rails, which feature an innovative clamping mechanism and linear ball bearings for increased accuracy and durability.
Increased Bevel Capacity and Convenient Stops
This saw is designed to deliver quick, accurate bevel cuts. You can easily set up for bevel cuts that measure between 0 and 48 degrees to the left and to the right. This handy setup provides increased capacity for big jobs and allows you to flip the saw instead of the material. Plus, with several bevel stops, it makes finding and setting the bevel angles a quick, easy process.
Ideal for a range of applications, the saw's unique back fence design allows it to deliver clean, 45-degree bevel cuts through dimensional lumber that measures up to 2 by 14 inches.
Portable and Compatible with the DEWALT Laser and L.E.D. System
This lightweight sliding compound miter saw weighs just 51 pounds and features a built-in carry handle, so you can move it around the jobsite easily and lift it comfortably when it comes time to stow the saw at the end of the day.
For additional accuracy and ease of use, this saw is compatible with the DEWALT DW7187 (sold separately) adjustable miter saw laser system (sold separately), which ensures that the cutting line is easy to see via a red laser line. An addition option is the DWS7085 (sold separately) which light the work surface and identifies the specific cut line.
This 10-inch double-bevel sliding compound miter saw also comes with a DEWALT warranty package that includes a three-year limited warranty and a 90-day money-back guarantee.

Joins (but does not pass) the class leaders
Bottom line - with only about three weeks of use (tons of trim work, light framing, and a large deck) this saw is very good at many things, not great at all of them. First, all saws need good blades - period. If yours did not come with one, don't review it till you get one (I replaced the stock 40 tooth blade with an upgraded). Secondly, sliding miter saws inherently add a degree of complication (or versatility depending on how you look at it) to your work, so consider what you really need. If your need is just trim - consider a non-slider. With that said I have always been a fan of 10inch sliders - they are the most versatile tool you can bring to the job site. This model replaces a pretty old Porter and Cable model that I was fairly happy with. Here is my take on the DeWalt. This is a very good saw, essentially a sliding version of the very popular DW703 and DW713 fixed models. The fence is an upgrade over those models, and the features make it a worthy competitor to the...

Still not perfect, but they never are
I will try to follow up with a more detailed review in a couple of weeks but I wanted to point out a few things after a week of using this saw as a full-time trim carpenter.Mine was accurate out of the box, cutting all my door casing at perfect 45's with no adjustment. Same results when cutting a large 7 1/4" crown on the flat. I didn't use the detents and I am not sure why manufacturers continue to offer these settings as crown molding is rarely ever set with a proper milling cut to make these detent settings worthwhile. The saw is quieter than my DW706, but the blade is smaller which I am sure contributes to that. You still need to wear ear protection though IMO.I really like the cam lock for the miter settings as compared to the turn knob that was on my 706. The miter detent override works great and it's extremely easy to dial in very minor adjustments of less than .25 degree by hand. I am very happy Dewalt has not changed the blade guard design with...
