I just saw Dewalt’s new mitre saws on their website and I thought I’d ask any of you guys have you gotten a chance to try either of these saws out. I’m actaully looking to get a 12″ mitre saw soon. I’d like to hear any and all feedback from anyone who has tried one of the saws.
Thanks kindly
Paul

I read about them but I havent seen one yet. I'm jealuos. I have the 708 and I cant cut a 1x6 one edge. It looks like the 718 will.
If you dont mind last years model, nows the time to get a 708. I was in depot last week and they had a stack of 708's new in the box for about $490.
I'm looking forward to checking out the new models but I think the wife would kill me if I bought one.
Not much info from here, but I was able to get my hands on a demo at a recent showing. I like the looks of everything. Seems it has a 16 inch crosscut. The rep and I explored all angles to figure that one out, as there was an old model next to it. I have the 708 and love the thing so hopefully I don't need a replacement real soon.
From the short experience I was able to get, I would buy one. Of course I never fired the motor or cut a board with it. The 16 inch cut is a huge feature, though. Imagine the stair jobs a fella could manage with that!
I get paid to do carpentry. That makes me a professional.
If I work on my own house does that make me a DIY?
