Factory-Reconditioned DEWALT DW715R Heavy-Duty 15 Amp 12-Inch Compound Miter saw

There are plenty of chop saws on the market, but there are a few features that set the DeWalt DW715 apart from the mitering crowd. First among them, we think, is the great detent override, because every corner in your workday is not a perfect 90 degrees. With most saws, it’s impossible to set a miter at 44.5 degrees, because you’ll slide right into the otherwise handy detent. But on this DeWalt, a simple override lets you lock into the exact – and we mean exact – angle you need to get the tightest fit. There are 11 miter detent stops, and arriving at them takes just a squeeze on the cam lever, which we like a whole lot more than the turnscrew knobs on other saws. Running a close second is the machined base support for the (more…)

    I was originally a little leery of purchasing a reconditioned saw, but after receiving this saw, I sure am glad that I made the purchase.

    The saw comes delivered in a well packaged box and was heavier than I expected. After setting it up and making some minor adjustments, it was ready to go! Although reconditioned, you wouldn’t know it but for the sticker showing that it was reconditioned in Mexico. Cuts are smooth, however, if you are going to miter trim, you should invest in a better blade. The blade included in the saw is good for most cuts, but a blade with more teeth would be better for trim work.

    Single bevel is nice and more than adequate for the DIYer. However, if you are going to use the saw professionally, you may want to invest in dual bevel sliding.

    Overall, a GREAT saw. Now I just need more projects to use it.

    Although I have 3 other DeWalt 10″ miter saws that I’m quite pleased with, this one has a new design. I think it’s more for a homeowner than a professional. When setting up the machine, it was impossible to get it to cut square from both sides. When cutting a 3 1/2″ high piece upright, when adjusted square from the right, it would not be from the left and visa versa. In addition, when you bring the saw back up to it’s resting position, you can feel the base disc moving up and down. I don’t like it at all and have relegated it to work that is not critical.

    This saw worked like new, and looked new after taking it out of the packaging. I’m not a professional just a do-it-yourself guy that has a house that needs lots of trim work.

    This saw cut thru MDF, composite, and real wood like a knife thru butter. The table was flat and sturdy. All adjustments to the bevel and miter felt precise without slop in the joints. All parts and accessories were included along with the instructions. It cut square and precise, I did not need to adjust anything (I checked before first use). Also has the ability to attach the DeWalt laser system incase you want to add that later!

    4 stars because I am comparing this to other miter saws I have used that cost more then twice a much. For a do-it-yourself person this saw is more then you will need. And at this price you can’t beat it. I’ll be buying more ‘reconditioned’ DeWalt tools if this level of quality maintains.
