The DEWALT DWS716 12-inch double-bevel compound miter saw is the tool many contractors trust for precise crown molding, base molding, and framing cuts. Its 15-amp motor drives a 12-inch blade at 3,800 rpm, while a stainless steel miter detent plate with 14 positive stops gives you repeatable accuracy. The tall sliding fences support up to 6-5/8 inches of nested crown molding and 6-1/2 inches of base molding, making it a serious contender for finish carpentry.
Cutting crown molding accurately requires a saw with a stable fence system and reliable angle stops. The DWS716’s tall fences support the molding in its nested position against the fence, so you can make compound cuts without flipping the piece. The double-bevel design lets you tilt the blade left or right up to 48 degrees, with positive stops at 0, 22.5, 33.9, and 45 degrees. That means you can set up a crown molding cut in seconds and repeat it all day long.
The high-efficiency dust collection duct is positioned right at the point of cut, which keeps your lines visible and cleanup quicker. The stainless steel miter detent plate resists wear and corrosion even on dirty job sites. The cam lock miter handle with detent override lets you lock the miter at any angle with a quick squeeze, making the transition from preset stops to custom angles fluid.

Crown molding is easier when your saw is set up right. The DWS716’s tall sliding fences allow you to cut crown nested against the fence, which is the fastest and most accurate method. Set your bevel to 33.9° and miter to 31.6° for a standard 38° spring angle; for 45° spring angle crown, use 45° bevel and 35.3° miter. The 14-stop detent plate simplifies locating these angles.
The detent plate is the part that locks your miter at common angles. On the DWS716, it’s stainless steel, so it resists the corrosion and wear that can make cheaper saws lose accuracy. The cam lock handle snaps into each stop with a solid click, and the detent override lets you fine-tune any angle without losing your place.
When cutting crown or base with compound angles, being able to tilt the blade left or right saves you from flipping the workpiece and re-setting the saw. The DWS716 does both, with positive stops at the angles you’ll use most. That means less setup time and fewer mistakes.
Set the saw to the recommended miter and bevel angles for your crown molding spring angle. Place the crown molding nested against the tall fence, then make the cut using the positive stops for repeatable angles.
The saw comes with a 12-inch carbide-tipped blade, ready for general purpose cutting. For very fine finish work, you may swap in a higher-tooth-count blade.
Yes, the cam lock miter handle with detent override lets you release the detents and lock the miter at any angle for custom cuts.
The tall sliding fence supports up to 6-1/2 inches of base molding vertically against the fence.
No, the DWS716 is a non-sliding compound miter saw. If you need to cut wide stock, consider a sliding model, but this saw excels at crown and base molding up to its capacity.
This miter saw is a monster. I've used it to frame a house and build custom trim. The 15-amp motor never bogs down. The double bevel is smooth and accurate. The detent plate gives positive stops. The fences are tall and provide good support. It's heavy, but it's a workhorse.
Accurate and powerful but heavy.
I've owned several miter saws over the years, and this is the best. It cuts crown molding perfectly. A great investment.
I'm a hobbyist, but I wanted a saw that could grow with me. This thing is precise and powerful. The laser guide isn't included, but the kerf marks are spot on. It handles 12" stock easily. I'm super happy with my purchase.
The saw works well, but the dust bag is useless. It fills with chips almost immediately. I need to connect a vacuum. Otherwise, it's fine.
I bought this for a kitchen remodel. It made precise cuts on the crown molding. The detent plate is accurate. The only issue is the table could be a bit longer for long boards. Also, the guard is a bit stiff. Overall, it's a reliable saw.
Perfect cuts every time, love it.
I've been using this for a few months now. The power is excellent and it cuts accurately. The sliding mechanism is smooth. But I wish it came with a laser. I also had to calibrate the bevel stops out of the box. Once set, it's been reliable. Good value for the price.
This saw is very easy to use. It's precise and the cuts are clean. I'm very pleased.
I build custom furniture and this miter saw is indispensable. The double bevel lets me cut compound angles without flipping the board. The tall fences support 8-inch crown. The motor is strong enough to cut through dense hardwood. Dust collection is good when attached to a vacuum. The table is flat and the detents are crisp. It also took up less space than my old saw. I can't imagine working without it.
