The DeWalt DWS716XPS is the latest iteration in DeWalt’s line of 12-inch miter saws. It boasts several updates over its predecessor, the DW716XPS, including a high visibility bevel scale, longer base legs, and a new vertical quick clamp for improved stability. The DWS716XPS has also seen upgrades to its dust collection system, with a new “high efficiency dust duct” designed to collect more debris at the point of cut.
Not only does the DWS716XPS improve on the DW716XPS in practical ways, but it also adds a touch of convenience with a removable table under-guarding and a new blade bolt design for easier blade changes. With a 2×8 cross-cutting capacity at 90° and a 2×6 cross-cutting capacity at 45°, this saw is capable of handling a variety of jobs. Additionally, the built-in Cutline LED shadow cut-line indicator system helps ensure accurate cuts every time. At 41 pounds, it’s also a bit lighter than its predecessor. Whether you’re a professional carpenter or a DIY enthusiast, the DeWalt DWS716XPS is a top-notch option for your next miter saw.
