Wood Magazine finds DW705S the best in its 12" Compound Miter Saw Test
New Page 1

March 2001 
Wood Magazine Issue 131

WOOD Magazine put 7 12" compound miter saws to the test in their March 2001 issue. The reviewers were impressed with DEWALT's easy to adjust miter scale. They said that they "liked DEWALT's operation best" and found the adjustment easy to set "anywhere on the scale with one hand." They continued, "DEWALT gets the nod for its smooth gliding turntable adjustment with no jerking or two-handled stabilizing required."  They also commented on the accuracy of DEWALT's Vernier scale which allows the user to adjust to 1/4° accuracy. The reviewers were also impressed with the blade provided with the DW705S. They said "Only DEWALT Supplied a negative hook angle blade, which we prefer for this kind of saw."
