 dw717 cheap March 12, 2010
Mrs. Sheila D. Kozney
Lowes has this saw on sale thru March 31 2010 for $420. I combines that with a 10% off coupon for a purchase price of $380. Love the saw, I own the dw712 also, the 8 1/2" slider. Both are great saws and the features are outstanding.
 Excellent miter saw, only a couple of minor quibbles March 2, 2010

As others have said it's a solid saw. No major flaws.
Cons:
-The bevel adjustment is a little awkward but i don't think it's much better on any other miter saw
-dust collection is not great, but then again I don't think it's much better on any other sliding miter saw. The bag does fill up quickly, maybe it just needs more frequent emptying.
-the 40 tooth blade it comes with is maybe good for framing.
Pros:
-simple to tune
-easy to use
-accurate and consistent
-pretty light considering what it is.
Toss-up:
-Laser or light is an extra (i had another miter saw with a laser and it was pretty useless, so I don't miss not having one)
-Side extension would have been nice to have too, but my miter saw stand easy to adjust.
I am no expert on miter saws but there is a world of difference between low end and this. It just feels safer using this one then others (I think its the soft start feature). It's also a little quieter than low end models.
Plus not that I think would ever get rid of this saw, but i am sure it will hold its value if taken care of.

This saw is awesome! I make my living as a finish carpenter and this is one of the best saws I have ever purchased, and I have bought quite a few in my career. If you are cutting wide mouldings though, you should be adept with using the bevel angle and miter angle together (compound cuts). It takes a little getting used to the bevel angle lock, but well worth it once you figure it out. Once again, fantastic saw!

I have been researching and using sliding miter saws for years. I settled on Dewalts line for a couple reasons. 1)the miter scale can be adjusted which is the only saw on the market that offers this feature. I have seen lots of miter saws go bad and 9 times out of 10 it is the scale settings that is the culprit. 2)The capacity of this saw is a full 2 inches more than anything else on the market which comes in handy when cutting stair treads which have a run of more than 10 inches. I chose the dw717 over the dw718 due to the deflection that 12 inch blades are famous for. If you are on the market for a new slider take a hard look at this one. I was very impressed with the fit and finish of this machine as well as the accuracy. One more thing to note this saw is very lefty friendly.
Great saw for a novice. Fantastic accessories. August 17, 2009

This is my first miter saw. I did a lot of research and decided on this one because of the extra tall vertical cutting capacity. No other 10 inch saw that I know of - sliding or otherwise - is able to cut my 5.25" baseboards vertically. So far, I've installed a floating engineered wood floor, laminate floors, and baseboards with great results.
The saw was perfectly calibrated out of the box. I replaced the stock blade with an Avanti 80 which was easy to do.
The best thing about the saw is the fantastic accessories which are perfectly designed for the DW717. The following accessories are must-haves IMO both for safety and usability:
DW723 miter saw stand - Lightweight but super sturdy. The quick release attachments make it very easy to mount and unmount the saw. The extension rails help a lot with cutting long baseboards and create a level plane with the saw.
DWS7085 LED - Creates a perfect shadow of your cut line while illuminating the work area. You won't need to nick the wood to find the cut line. Easy to install.
DW7082 clamp - Better than the stock clamp because it has a quick release and a bigger pad. The quick release makes it easy to swing the clamp over the fence when necessary. I bought one for each side which might be overkill but is more convenient.
Adding these accessories adds a lot of cost to your miter setup but they really make a huge difference.
Update 8/2010: I'm in the process of rebuilding my deck and this miter saw is doing it all. I've cut up a ton of pressure treated lumber and PVC decking with great results and ease of use.
