Questions & Answers

My table saw has 10 inch saw blades, can I use them on this 12 inch miter saw? I realize the curing dimensions would not be the same
ByOct 20, 2026

Answer This Question

No, DWS716 must use only 12 in. (305 mm) saw blades with a 1 in. (25.4 mm) arbor hole, and the manual explicitly says never use a smaller diameter blade. So a 10 in. table saw blade should not be used on this 12 in. miter saw.

        Can this cut a 4x4 post? Or a 2x4 lumber?
        BySep 16, 2026
        1 Answer | 
        Answer This Question

        The DeWalt DWS716 miter saw can cut a 2x4 lumber easily, but it cannot fully cut through a standard 4x4 post in a single pass. Its maximum vertical cutting height at 0° miter is 3.6 inches, which is less than the 3.5-inch height of a 4x4 post, so you would need to rotate the post and make multiple cuts to finish the job. Cutting a 2x4 is well within its capacity.

                    Too many issues for the price!
                    Received dws716 as a gift last Christmas. Would have preferred a sliding miter saw but since it was a generous gift I learned to adapt. HOWEVER, the 1.5" dust collection opening is useless, it consistently clogs - so much that it packs the saw dust in and often blows back out when using it. Additionally as others have stated, the fences are not square - even when tight with no wiggle at all. This is very frustrating when making multiple cuts. Lastly and probably my biggest dislike is the clamps - the design is horrible. Whether using them from the front or back they have entirely too much movement and when tightened it does not hold the 2 x 4 in place - it tilts, or slids, the rubber on the clamp is worthless. So in order to clamp wood down or use a stop block you have to use a C or F clamp (which only works if you manage to be at a flat area in back of fence). Overall, For the hundreds of dollars this originally cost ( for just the saw) i wouldn't recommend this to anyone.

                    Hello, I appreciate your feedback on the DWS716 and I'm sorry to hear of the issues you are experiencing with the saw. Please contact support at WECARE@sbdinc.com and reference ticket 16206078 so we have all the information available from your review. Thanks, Deeris DEWALT
                      This is a really nice cutting and adjusting saw that we are using in our professional woodshop. Dust collection is quite good, but even the best aren't able to catch it all. Very happy with the saw, its cut quality and accuracy, dust collection, and fairly low noise level when operating.

                      disappointing
                      I bought this saw 6 years ago for home use didn't get the chance to use it for 4 years when I started my home improvement project I noticed it leaking oil about 2 oz of oil had leaked onto kerf plate and work surface the oil was coming from where the bolt holds the saw blade on tried everything to get service help sent photos, copy of the receipt to no avail no one was able to tell me if I should add oil or where to add it

                        The miter saw has been a life saver. I wish I had gotten it sooner when I redid the laundry room. I purchased it recently for my deck. It's very easy to use and has helped me with 45-degree cuts and precise cuts. So far no issues. A stand is a must.

                        We needed to order a couple of different Dewalt tools and Home Depot was running some discounts and had the best prices. It works well. DWS716

                        Easy to use right out of the box. Works great so far with no issues (had it for a couple weeks). It makes clean cuts with the blade that comes with it. Great buy at $299.

                        The low rating is not reflective of the performance of the saw, rather it is due to the fact that during a recent visit to Home Depot I noticed the $429 price I paid has subsequently been reduced to $299!

                        I wanted to get into woodworking and I knew a miter saw was important. I also knew DeWalt was a great brand to go with as DeWalt is what my Dad uses and he never has anything negative to say about it. I've had it for about a month. So far I have only used it to make my coffee table. I was very happy with it's performance. I am happy I went with DeWalt. It does everything I need, plus more. I have since added a couple other DeWalt tools to my wish list such as the circular saw and table saw.
