I bought this mitre saw in June 2014, and I remodeled my basement with it. It it sturdy and it works great kzfaq.infoUgkxPeGkHOMe05FySypTOvYumxMn-xi39oRe . There's not a lot of extra play in the adjustments and it is definitely well built. It is lighter than higher-end sliding double bevel models, so I can move it myself, which is nice. When I had to cut 2x10 lumber, I had to flip the boards over and cut twice; but since most of my cutting was on smaller dimension lumber, the weight reduction and significantly lower price seemed to be a better trade off for the boards I did have to flip. Late in the project, I was able to borrow a DW718, and the sliding feature does make fast work of 2x10s, but it is a tank, and I stand by my choice of the DW715. I also added a laser guide (one of the arbor replacement style sold on Amazon), which is nice to have, but definitely not needed.

Just noticed my saw is off. Now I know how to adjust it. Thanks for easy to understand instructions.

It wasn't until the other day that I needed my miter saw to be dead on accurate so I never worried about it before. Used it more as a chop saw because I knew I would get things accurate further down the line in my build. But, now I need that sucker perfect so thanks for the video! I'm happy to see that Dewalt designed ways to make easy adjustments.

Good stuff! I just fixed a wobble I developed on my miter saw and now I find myself using it more again. A lot of helpful stuff here.

Excellent job highlighting the initial adjustments!

Dewalts are so easy to calibrate and they usually are pretty close out of the box. I'm not going to do mine until I get a new 100 tooth Diablo to replace the piece of crap that it came with. I already did a quick check and it's pretty good now.

Very helpful video man! I didn't know much about how the mitre saw was set until now. Thank you!

Awesome! You saved me a massive headache and earned a subscriber!

Hello Sir that was an excellent educational presentation.

This is all well and good if you are aligning everything from one side of the saw. However, you should make a cut, flip the board to the opposite side of the cut and see if it also is square. Both sides of the saw may not cut the same. My Dewalt was considerably different between left and right hand cuts and I needed to grind and sand the fence to even get it to be flush. Just thought you should address this as an issue also.

Thanks for sharing this I just bought this saw tonight on sale for 170$ in place of my rigid slider which goes out of Alignment every time I go to use it I tried everything the manual said all the videos I watched it's probably because it fell off my miter saw station so something must have bent

GREAT ARTICLE. MY PROBLEM IS, WHEN AT 0 DEGREES MITER AND THE BLADE IS AT 0 DEGREES VERTICLE WITH WIXEY GAUGE, WHEN I GO TO 45 DEGREES MITER LEFT OR RIGHT, IT GOES 90.3 ON ONE 45 AND GOES 89.7 THE OTHER WAY INSTALLED A NEW WEAR RING OF NO AVAIL. HAVE YOU SEEN THIS BEFORE?

Hi that was an excellent presentation. I followed all your instructions. I noticed one thing that the plate is not at the same level to the left where the picture of a hand is. It seems the plate sits a hair below where the picture of a hand is on the left side. When I push a ruler and go from right to left after I pass the yellow section ( the throat) and continuing going toward the left I pump slightly to the section where the picture of the hand is. Is it normal and this is how it should be or I should do some adjustments? Please advise. Thanks.what I meant the round section is not level with the left shoulder of the saw. I hope I could explain

Cheers fella. Great explanation. Helped me out a lot. Thumbs up ☝

Great video! THANK YOU !

thank you for this

Very good and useful setup review! Cheers

That 5 cut method is only for cross cut sled. But i suppose you could do it on miter as well. Thank you got that. Don’t suppose you have a vid of miter 5 cut?

*Great saw **MyBest.Tools** excellent shipping and very competitive price. The ease of adjustment for different cuts is great. Nothing but positives with the purchase of this saw.*

I like your geek out vids 🤓. Useful stuff.

Question. I have a craftsman mitre saw. Say I set it to cut 45 degree angles.I have the board tight against the fence I make all the cuts and when I go to assemble the cuts are not perfectly fitting. That is to say they are not all perfect 45 degrees. Some are better than others but they never meet perfect. Any idea why ?

Thanks for the video. That will help me. I do have another question though. I have the DW715 which is probably almost identical to yours. I have I think 11 presets on the saw that I can lock in place. But I can't seem to figure out how to lock the saw on other settings that are not preset. For example suppose I wanted to make a 40 degree cut. I've done this before but it's been so long now that I can't recall how I did it. Could you tell me that please?

So my problem with my dewalt dw715 is that the right side of the fence is not square to the base of the Saw, every adjustment i can make I have but i cant find any answers for this particular problem.

Hello, I have a project that says "extend the fence on your miter saw by screwing a straight board or strip of plywood to the saw’s fence. There will be holes in the rear for this. Use four screws, two on each side of the saw." How would you do this on the DW713, since there is no holes to screw the board to? thank you.

Well done, thank you.

Awesome... thanks!

THANK YOU .

JPT. not a combination square, it's not fixed and can have movement that will not be accurate.

How do u fix that air gap at the end?

Cheers Mate!

Thanks, perfect help.

Good info. Thanks!

Only thing I'm going to miss is the double bubble and the sliding action which gave me a 12" capacity versus the 6" capacity that this law has but that's what table saws are for right lol

I see you are using a construction blade. Does the type of blade you are using affect the mitre?

hello and Merry Christmas, i have a dw716, and i cant seem to bevel the saw to the right, but by slackening the large level at teh back i can bevel to the left. plz help !

Thanks

Wonderful video, takes the angst out of the reason why my hive boxes are slightly off.....BUT....following your video, the left side squares right up no problem. when I flip the square over the right side , i can see my error in the thing is off by just a hair....I have been chasing this error to either side for a few times now so there must be something else going on....any ideas? DWS780

Thank fr the helpful info I'm wondering if the check must done only on one side or both of the blade

I use the "filler method". Close enough and fill that gap. :)

Didn't know that thanks

Thankyou Sir!!

Can that saw cut a 6x2?

Am I missing something here? You did your test cuts and found out you had a slight wobble, then did nothing about it, or at least failed to show on the video how you fine-tuned it. Earlier in the video, you said you lake to make "rough" adjustments first and then fine-tune them. So without showing the fine-tuning, this video should be called How To Get Less Than Perfect Cuts On The Mitre Saw or How to Roughly Set Up Your Mitre Saw.
