Factory-Reconditioned DEWALT DW718R Heavy-Duty 15 Amp 12-Inch Dual Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw

Factory-Reconditioned DEWALT DW718R Heavy-Duty 15 Amp 12-Inch Dual Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw Review



Factory-Reconditioned DEWALT DW718R Heavy-Duty 15 Amp 12-Inch Dual Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw Feature

  • Miter detent override cuts as close to a detent as needed to without slipping in
  • Miter cam lever easier to us than turnscrew knob.
  • Sliding fence with machined support promotes accuracy
  • 15-amp motor, max rpm of 3,600
  • Sturdy handles built into the base for a wide, secure grip
It’s hard to imagine anything DeWalt could do to improve this saw. As with it little siblings, the DW716 and DW715, the feature at the top of our list is the fantastic miter detent override, allowing you to compensate for a world that just isn’t square all the time. Normally, setting a 44.7-degree miter would leave you with a fight on your hands with regular detents, because of that annoying tendency saws have to snap in when you get too close. But with the integrated override, you can cut as close to a detent as you need to without slipping in. The 718 miters 60 degrees to the left and 50 degrees to the right, with 10 zero-play detents, and all dead-on accurate. Of course, we like the miter cam lever, too, a great improvement over the old turnscrew knob.

The tall sliding fence has a machined support that promises nothing but the ultimate long-term accuracy. We like the extra height because it supports crown molding beautifully, even up to 6-5/8 inches nested, and base molding up to 6-1/2 inches vertically. Need a bevel cut? The fence slides neatly out of the way for bevels, anywhere from 0 to 48 degrees both left and right. (If you’re in the market for this much power but just a single bevel, check out the DeWalt715 saw. A close second to this saw, without the slide, is available in the DW716 model.)

There are absolutely no complaints from this motor no matter what you’re cross-cutting, as it’s drawing 15 beefy amps and has a max rpm of 3,600, slicing through 2-by oak like it’s paper. What we found extremely impressive is the saw’s ability to crosscut a 2 x 16 just by adding an auxiliary base to bring the stock up to level with the back fence. At a 45-degree miter, you’re still able to cross-cut a 2 x 12.

If portability is a factor, understand that the slide function adds a little weight, so this saw tips the scales at 53 pounds, nine pounds more than the next model down from this. Still, easy-on-the-body handles built into the base offer a nice, wide, secure grip. This is more saw than most do-it-yourselfers need, but it’s a contractor’s dream. -- Kris Jensen-Van Heste

Bosch T4B Gravity-Rise Miter Saw Stand

Bosch T4B Gravity-Rise Miter Saw Stand Review



Bosch T4B Gravity-Rise Miter Saw Stand Feature

  • Patented Gravity Rise System - Rapid set up and breakdown
  • 18-Inch Material Capacity - Highest capacity among fully portable units
  • 8-Inch Pneumatic Wheels - ease of transport over jobsite terrain
  • Rapid Release Tool Mounts - fits most competitors' miter saws
  • Adjustable Leveling-Feet - Stability on uneven surfaces
The Bosch TB4 gravity-rise miter saw stand features the patented gravity rise system, and rapid set up and breakdown. It has an 18-inch material capacity which is the highest capacity among fully portable units. It has 8-inch pneumatic wheels which facilitate ease of transport over jobsite terrain. It also features rapid release tool mounts, adjustable leveling feet for stability on uneven surfaces and it also fits most competitors' miter saws. Bosch expanded its patented and award-winning technology to develop and introduce the new Gravity-Rise T4B Portable Miter Saw Stand. Smart, durable and simple to use, professionals never need to worry about how to setup or carry their miter saw ever again. The T4B features the same Bosch-patented Gravity-Rise system as the industry's award winning TS2000 Gravity-Rise Table Saw Stand. Unlike other miter saw stands, the Bosch Gravity-Rise system is practically effortless and allows for rapid set-up and breakdown in seconds. With a simple turn of the release lever and the user's guidance, the weight and balance smoothly raises the heavy-gauge steel and aluminum constructed stand and saw into working position. Set the leveling feet for uneven terrain and professionals are ready to get to work. Turn the same release lever again, and the entire stand folds into a push cart design, complete with 8-inch pneumatic wheels, perfect for transporting the saw over rough terrain from one location to the next. The T4B utilizes an aluminum support rail and special Universal Rapid-Release Tool Mounts designed to attach to the base of all Bosch and most competitors' miter saws. These mounts allow any user to quickly attach or detach the saw to the stand. And rubber feet prevent scratches when placing the tool on a cabinet top or bench. The same support rails expand for 18-feet total material support, the highest among fully portable units. For users cutting long pieces of molding or flooring, this kind of support is priceless. Adjustable repetitive stops and table supports also allow the stand to adapt to varying applications and saws.

Jet JMS-10SCMS 10-Inch Dual-Bevel Slide Compound Miter Saw

Jet JMS-10SCMS 10-Inch Dual-Bevel Slide Compound Miter Saw Review



Jet JMS-10SCMS 10-Inch Dual-Bevel Slide Compound Miter Saw Feature

  • Innovative green Xacta laser provides high visibility for precise cutting
  • Up-front controls for safety and ease of use
  • Dual-bevel capability allows you to angle and stop at 0, 33.9 and 45-Degrees left or right
  • Ergonomic, D-shaped over molded handle for maximum control during cutting operations
Designed and built to provide the power, accuracy, and capabilities woodworkers demand, the Jet JMS-10SCMS 10-Inch Dual-Bevel Slide Compound Miter Saw helps you increase productivity without sacrificing your budget. Complete with a versatile base that can mount to a stand or work bench, multiple rubber grip carrying handles for easy portability, and dual bevel capacities of 0, 33.9, and 45 degrees left and right, this handy tool will be a valuable addition to your shop.


The JET JMS-10SCMS
10-Inch Dual-Bevel Slide
Compound Miter Saw offers:
  • The green XACTA Laser system for convenience and precision
  • A powerful 15 Amp, 4800 RPM motor
  • Dual bevel capacities of 0, 33.9, and 45 degrees to the left and right
  • An ergonomic handle for improved control

The green laser is easier to see in bright light.


Easy-access controls help you maintain safety.
Powerful Motor Balanced by Poly V-Belt
The JMS-10SCMS operates with a robust 15 Amp, 4800 RPM motor that sends its power through a poly-v belt to generate a consistent speed. This belt also substantially reduces vibration and sound for a super smooth cutting action. And for peace of mind, a push-button arbor lock makes blade changes easier and safer.

10-Inch Blade and Operating Arm Power Through Thick Material
The 10-inch diameter blade and innovative design of the operating arm give the JMS-10SCMS tremendous cutting capacities throughout the dual bevel range. With the blade at zero degrees in both miter and bevel, the saw cuts material up to 3-5/8 inches thick and 12 inches wide. At a 45-degree miter, it handles material measuring 3-5/8 inches thick by eight inches wide. At a 45-degree left bevel, cutting capacity is 1-5/8 inches thick by 12 inches wide, or at a 45-degree right bevel, the capacity is 1-3/8 inches thick by 12 inches wide.

XACTA Laser Provides High Visibility
The JMS-10SCMS comes equipped with the patented green XACTA Laser--a Jet exclusive. This special laser emits a distinct green light that is much easier to see in bright, outdoor conditions than are the more common red colored versions. The laser is also mounted in special housing just behind the blade where it remains out of the operator's direct line of vision, but projects its finely focused alignment light across the wood in clear view.

Precision Machined Aluminum Table for Stability and Flexibility
Able to handle a wide variety of projects, the JMS-10SCMS features a precision-machined aluminum table surface that is 21 inches wide with a maximum front-to-back support area of 13 inches at the blade. Incorporated into the table are mounting bosses for securing the saw to a work surface or onto a specialty stand.

A pullout arm at the rear of the base helps stabilize the machine on a flat surface, and the circular center table surrounding the blade is precisely machined to be flat and flush with the table sections to either side. Additionally, the table extension surrounding the blade path has repositionable inserts that can be adjusted to work much like a zero clearance insert, meaning this saw gives you extraordinary flexibility, even on larger jobs.

Fully Functional, Easy-Slide Fence System
The fence system is specially designed to be fully functional with the blade at all miter and bevel angles. For added convenience, it's mounted to the base so that it can be adjusted to be perfectly square to the blade if need be, and it extends further to support the work piece on both sides. The fence also has a set of graduations engraved on its face that make setting up repetitive or specific-length cuts quick and accurate.

Ergonomic Handle and Up-Front Controls for Safety and Control
The JMS-10SCMS boasts an ergonomic, D-shaped, over-molded handle for a steady, secure, and comfortable grip. This design also gives you maximum control during cutting operations.

In addition, the controls are located right up front, so you don't have to hunt around for them as you work or reach over or behind the blade in an unsafe manner to access them. Instead, everything you need for easy operation is both within reach and directly in your line of sight.

The JMS-10SCMS measures 25.2 x 20.7 x 35.8 inches (WxHxD) and weighs 50.7 pounds. It is backed by a three-year warranty.

About JET: A History of Sharing New, Feature-Rich Products
Opened in 1958 after the founder of the company, Leslie P. Sussman, took the first Boeing Jet Airplane trip from Seattle, Washington to Japan, JET began as a small dealer that sold air hoists and trolleys out of a single hardware store in Seattle. Over the years, JET has carried everything from snowmobiles, transmitter radios, and forklifts to nylon stockings, but by the early 1970s, metalworking had become the base of their business line. And by the 1980s, JET had expanded into the realm of woodworking. Today, you'll find that JET offers a wide range of popular woodworking tools that are backed with best-in-class features and excellent service.
