You've decided to tackle that remodeling project, but your
miter saw can't handle the tall baseboards and crown molding
you've picked out for the job. Relax, the DeWalt DW706 is up
to the challenge. With the highest vertical cutting capacity
in its class, the 12-inch DW706 can power through crown
molding vertically up to 6-5/8 inches tall and base molding
up to 6 inches. Its flat cutting capacity is also impressive
at 8 inches. But its stock capacity isn't the only thing
going for this saw. A lightweight design (the saw weighs
just 44 pounds) and built-in carrying handle make it
portable enough to tote easily from job to job. Better yet,
the saw's double-bevel design allows you to flip the blade
rather than the materials you're cutting, letting you finish
cuts more accurately. The DW706 also cuts 50-degree left and
right miter angles. Easy adjustments, including 11 positive
stops at the most common miter angles, save time and ensure
greater precision, while a quiet motor and smooth arm
operation enhance overall user comfort, making this a great
saw for day-in, day-out use. --Carl Thress
Product Description
DeWalt's DW706 12-inch double-bevel compound miter saw
boasts the highest vertical cutting capacity in its class.
Meeting the trends and needs of users who install large trim
material in today's custom home and remodeling jobs, the
DW706 cuts crown molding vertically up to 6-5/8 inches and
base molding vertically up to 6 inches. Its flat cutting
capacity is 8 inches. In comparison, other 12-inch saws only
have the vertical capacity to cut 5-1/4-inch crown and
3-1/2-inch base. DeWalt added the extra cutting capability
by utilizing a patented right-angle gearbox design and high
sliding fences. For more accuracy and versatility, the DW706
cuts 50-degree left and right miter angles and has 48-degree
bevel capability. Users can quickly set the most common
miter angles at 11 positive stops on the easy-to-read miter
scale. With a durable steel-on-steel detent plate and pin,
the miter provides consistent accuracy without play over the
life of the tool. For convenience, the double-bevel feature
helps users save time by allowing them to flip the head of
the saw instead of their material, a common practice on
single-bevel machines. A preset stop at 33.85 degrees on the
bevel system provides quick setup for the most common crown
molding. Weighing only 44 pounds, the DW706 has a built-in
carrying handle for portability. Your purchase includes the
DW706 miter saw, dust bag, 60-tooth carbide blade, and a
one-year warranty.
