I was ready to upgrade from my Delta 10 "miter to a 12" but was waiting for Dewalt to come out with a laser system. I bought this DW716 about 2 weeks ago and so far I love it. I have chosen not to get it sliding miter, because they are not as accurate as the non-moving, especially for the manufacture of furniture. This saw is very powerful and smooth, and the laser works well, although it took a while to get it set up (instructions are marginal at best, so you can roll with it for an hour or more to try to get it to line up in all directions).
One thing I strongly recommend is a RIDGID MS-UV miter stand. I found one at Home Depot, and it is the best miter saw stand in the market and very reasonable price. It folds and unfolds easily, and the wheels make mobility a lot. It is much better than Delta or Dewalt miter saw stand. Dewalt Why not have a folding one with wheels is beyond me, and Delta one is way too small for a 12 "miter. The combination of a condition and a 12" miter needs wheels when it is very heavy. You can leave Dewalt 12 "miter mounted on RIDGID, and even put the standing on the corner of the road when you do not. Anyway, the Amazon does not sell Ridgid MS-UV yet, but Home Depot does.
The DW716 is powered by a 15Amp motor and comes equipped with a 12 "carbide blade that spins at 3600 rpm. The extra tall fences and double bevel has unsurpassed performance. DW716 includes an adjustable stainless steel miter detente with 11 positive stops for the most common miter cuts. The cam lock miter handle eliminates the need to rotate the miter handle to lock miter angle and delivers a fast and stable miter lock. sawmill is equipped with a miter relaxation override which allows the user to override the miter stops and adjust the miter setting desired without was sliding into miter relaxation while the new precise miter system delivers more repeatable and accurate miter angles. The innovative machined base fence design delivers long term fence straightness by providing additional support to the fence. The DW716 provide the ability to cut up to 6-1/2 "base molding against the fence when skewed to the left or right and delivers up to a 2 x 10 races with the innovative back fence design. The DW716 is designed to accept the DW7187 DEWALT adjustable miter saw laser system that provides visibility to the cut path. The saw can be beveled to the left of 0 ˚ - 48 ˚ and the 0 ˚ - 48 ˚ with positive stop at 0 ˚, 45 ˚ and 33.9 ˚ cutting strip plate. With a weight of 44 pounds and is equipped with comfortable side handles on the bottom, DW716 is designed to be extremely portable. The DW716 includes a carbide blade, blade wrench and dust bag
