DEWALT DW708 12-Inch Double-Bevel Sliding Compound Miter saw Features
These DEWALT DW708 12-Inch Double-Bevel Sliding Compound Miter saw way out perform every other brand including major brands and department store brands. The major selling points for me are hight quality with cheap price.
DeWalt packs it all into this 12-inch compound miter saw: the big blade, the double bevel, the double rail slide. Very impressive. Finish carpenters who want to miter crown molding (up to 5-1/4 inches) vertically and framers who demand a 12-inch crosscut capacity will love this saw's 12-inch blade. The double bevel, of course, means you flip the saw instead of the wood, a great feature for those working with long molding or in confined spaces. The saw bevels to 45 degrees both ways and has the ability to bevel up to 48 if the need arises. The double rail slide is definitely burlier than the old single rail design. Both rails slide on self-cleaning, dust-sealed bearings, too.
What really gets us is the weight and balance of this saw: it slides smoothly through cuts, bevels are easy to set, and the miter gauge swivels lightly (all of which speak to the saw's excellent design). You can miter 50 degrees left, 60 degrees right. We also appreciated the cam-lock miter gauge on this saw--the handle simply clamps down, which makes switching angles noticeably quicker than with a twist-lock miter.
DeWalt's D-handle is designed for right-handed use, but the trigger is big enough to use comfortably with your left hand if a particular cut requires it. The saw also has a depth-stop adjuster in case you have to cut a quick dado or two at the job site. The easy-to-read stainless-steel miter scale, with 11 positive stops allows you to lock in the most common angles quickly and, thanks to the cam-lock miter, it's also easy to dial in precise cuts just over or under the positive stop--a feature finish carpenters, in particular, will love. The electric blade stops the blade quickly, which saves time and makes work safer. The saw doesn't have a safety switch--which is fine by us, since some safety switches can be downright dangerous--but it's something to consider if you're doing residential or remodeling work where children might stumble across your tools. --Jon Groebner

Review : Great saw, but ......
Overall I am very pleased with this saw. There are two features which leave a lot of room for improvment (in my opinion). Although it is possible to bevel more than 45 degrees it requires a laborious changing of the tools adjustments, you have to have tools out to do it and then you would have to recalibrate the machine when you were finished (if you wanted to make quick 45 degree cuts again.) Although it is technically possible to do this I personally will never use this feature as it is too difficult to do. On the other hand the miters beyond 45 degrees are as simple and accurate to use as anyone could hope for. Another area where I found the saw lacking was that it has a depth adjustment to control the depth of cut . In theory this sounds great as you could make dado's but in reality if you are looking to make consistent cuts at the same depth it does not work well enough to meet my standards. The depth seemed to vary a little bit depending how much pressure was...
I think, explains the few grievance about DEWALT DW708 12-Inch Double-Bevel Sliding Compound Miter saw not fitting or leaking.
