DEWALT Miter Saw, Double-Bevel, Compound, 12-Inch

Description

The DEWALT Miter Saw, Double-Bevel, Compound, 12-Inch, 15-Amp (DWS716) is perfect for the Urban Homestead.  This is exactly what you need to cut boards for your wood-raised garden beds, and build a chicken run or fence in your property boundary.  A good quality chop saw is essential on the homestead.  It is not required to get a saw that supports bevel cuts, but it does not cost that much more as seen with this model.  These types of cuts are essential for making clean corners.  If you plan on doing work on the inside of your home make sure you have a double bevel miter saw.  Without it is very difficult to cut all your trim and molding pieces.

This saw will fit perfectly on a mobile workbench so you can take it out from the garage to near your work site for the day.   Dewalt is an excellent brand for DIY’ers.  Overall, Dewalt seems to be above average in terms of quality for most of their lineup of tools and certainly, this miter saw will cut boards all day and season long.
