          Does the 716XPS work well with vacuum attached? I read another review stating the opening closes with vacuum attached. It’s critical I can use vacuum with my upcoming miter saw purchase.
          ByApr 11, 2025
          2 Answers | 
          Answer This Question

          The saw comes with a fabric "scoop" that pinches closed when suction is applied through the dust port. This piece must be removed to use a vacuum. Great saw, terrible solution for dust management.

          By|Jun 22, 2026

            Yes, a dust collection unit can be attached to the Saw.

                A single bevel miter saw can only make bevel cuts in one direction. A double bevel miter saw can make bevel cuts in both directions.

                  This saw will be replacing a saw in an existing 24’ long cutting station with a built in fence the entire length. The fence is 15.75” from the wall. Aligning this saw’s fences with the fence of my cutting sta will the rear of the saw fit in the 15.75”?

                    Beast Of A Saw!
                    Beast of a saw! I’ve had mine for years and it has cut through wood and metal with ease!

                      Dissatisfied with DeWalt quality and poor customer service
                      The stand arrived with a screw that appeared to have been over torqued and the screw head was missing. I spent hours on chat to DeWalt only to finally be told DeWalt wouldn't make it right. Thank goodness Home Depot had great customer focus and stepped in to replace the stsnd.

Your feedback is valuable as we take into consideration every piece of feedback that we come across. I will pass this along to our team for review.

                        This is a great miter saw. Cuts so clean and very easy to change angle. Locks in place solidly. It fits perfectly on the Dewalt 743 stand.

                        Done with Dewalt
                        Ordered this saw on line. (not stocked in any of my local stores) as an update to my older DW7405. The saw arrived and I was unable align the saw due to manufacturing flaws. Returned the saw, money refunded and ordered another. Received the saw and was unable to align this one either. Sent the saw to Dewalt service center and they confirmed the saw had defects. They ordered a new saw from the factory. Eventually received saw number 3. It was worse then the first 2. I sent pics of what I was seeing as a problem. They service center sent email saying the saw was repaired and on its way back. The day after the email I received call telling me they were refunding my money. They then said the saw was In "in spec" but decided it wasn't worth the hassle. I asked what those specs were but no one knew what they were. I am not looking for a saw to meet NASA specifications. I just want to make straight accurate cuts.This entire process took over 6 weeks. I have been a Dewalt tool user for over 20 years. However that has now changed. I am done with Dewalt. See attached pics of what "in spec" looks like to Dewalt. Rather than address and fix the problem its easier for them to say buy something else. Disappointing.

                        Hello gr, I appreciate your feedback on the DEWALT 15 Amp Corded 12 in. Double-Bevel Compound Miter Saw with Cutline LED DWS716XPS, and I'm sorry to hear that you have issues with it and our factory service centers. Your satisfaction is our top priority. Please contact support at WECARE@sbdinc.com. I look forward to hearing from you so we may assist you with a solution.
                          I wanted to love this saw...
                          Just unboxed the DWS716XPS and started to check alignment of the fences. I returned the first unit for misalignment of the upper fences. The lower fence on this unit is not 90 degrees to the base AND the upper fences are also out of alignment both to the lower fence and to the base. There are no adjustments to correct this misalignment, although one might be able to hack a fix using shims. For me, it looks like this one will also go back to the store. I also own a DWS779 and it is a great saw.

                              Perfect for cutting a solid hardwood floor!
                              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This miter saw works perfect for cutting hardwood floors. It makes every cut to perfection. If you make a mistake with this saw it is the operator not the saw. I still need to install baseboard. I know this saw can make perfect 45 or 90 cuts. Make installing base board a breeze!

                                Worth the wait!
                                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had been wanting to buy this compound miter saw for some time. I finally treated myself and bought it along with the miter saw stand. I am so happy I did! It was a big upgrade from old my miter saw. I am now able to do double bevel cuts safely. I like how the XPS system works for a true cut line. It is smooth and powers through every board like butter. This was well worth the wait and fits perfectly in my wood shop! Great job, Dewalt!
