DEWALT DW718

The DEWALT DW718 carries a big reputation around with it. It’s been on the market for a number of years, and is well-known for its intelligent design, its huge bevel capacity and convenient stops, and of course its accuracy.

The DEWALT DW718 is a 12 inch double-bevel sliding compound mitre saw (since you’ve made your way to this site chances are you probably already knew that!). It boasts an impressive 15 amp motor, allowing it to deliver 3600 rpm, making it suitable for an immense range of cutting tasks. It doesn’t matter whether you’re cutting crown molding or even baseboard, the DEWALT DW718 is a mitre saw which will equip you with fast, high accuracy cuts, allowing you to complete your work in a very short amount of time.

Though it may be obvious that I’m a big fan of this saw personally, I would of course be doing you a disservice if I failed to point out what little problems I did find with it…

This is a BIG saw. It’s designed principally for big tasks, and DEWALT weren’t messing around when they put this baby together. If you’re a very small person, I fear you may struggle operating this tool.

I have an average build myself, so I personally found that the mitre lock and bevel lever only became slightly tiresome to use after I had already performed quite a high number of cuts. I suppose though that this is only really a minor quibble, and it suggests highly of the level of dedication DEWALT have attached to this product to ensure it is able to perform heavy duty tasks in as efficient a manner as possible.

In short, the DEWALT DW718 is an extremely heavy duty saw built with professionals in mind. It has almost no wobble or run out at all, excellent dust control, and is even fully adjustable, a feature which unfortunately we cannot typically depend on from other mitre saw manufacturers.

DEWALT DW745

As the title of the site suggests, the other product we’re going to look at is the DEWALT DW745 table saw. It’s also a very high-profile product, known for its portable design, powerful 3850rpm performance, and highly dependable 15 amp motor.

I’ve also had the great pleasure of being able to use this saw on frequent occasion recently. One of the features which stands out immediately when you first use it is the ability it provides you with to quickly set it up in exact accordance with the specific tasks you need to perform. DEWALT call this feature the Site–Pro Modular Guarding System, and it gets a firm thumbs up from me.

As you’d expect with anything made by DEWALT, the DW745 is a serious piece of equipment, and no corners have been cut in its design (no pun intended!). It comes boxed with 24-tooth Carbide blades, a far higher quality blade than you could typically expect out of the box from most other table saw manufacturers. You also get a push stick, a miter gauge, and blade guards.

One thing I can’t fail to mention about the DEWALT DW745 is the shocking fact that a saw with this level of functionality weighs a mere 45 pounds! The folding stand is extremely simple to use, so both set up and tear down take literally a matter of minutes. The joys of using this product truly are plentiful!

In summation, if you’re in the market for a heavy duty 10 inch compact table saw, the DEWALT DW745 is a product you can buy with confidence. Having had the opportunity to fully familiarise myself with it I’m certain you will be as happy with it as I was, and since you’ll be buying a DEWALT product you will also receive a 90 day money back guarantee, a three-year limited warranty, and even a one year free service contract for added peace of mind.
