110v MITRE SAW

DeWalt DW707-LX 216mm Sliding Compound Mitre Saw: Classic Precision for Professional WoodworkingThe DeWalt DW707-LX 216mm (8.5-inch) Sliding Compound Mitre Saw represents a solid and reliable choice for professionals and serious hobbyists seeking accurate and versatile cutting performance. Built with DeWalt's reputation for rugged tools, this model offers the essential features needed for precise mitre and bevel cuts in a durable and manageable form factor. Its sliding mechanism provides extended cross-cut capacity, making it suitable for a wide range of timber and board materials.

Features

• Sliding Mechanism for Increased Capacity: The core feature allowing the saw head to slide forwards and backwards, greatly extending the maximum cross-cut capacity for wider workpieces that a non-sliding saw of the same blade diameter couldn't handle.
• Compound Cutting Capabilities: Capable of making both mitre (horizontal angle) and bevel (vertical angle) cuts, and combining them for compound cuts. This is essential for complex joinery, crown moulding, and other intricate trim work.
• Durable Motor: Typically features a powerful electric motor (often around 1200W or 1600W depending on specific variant and voltage, e.g., 110V for site use or 240V). This provides ample power for cutting various types of wood, including hardwoods and softwoods.
• Precise Mitre and Bevel Adjustments: Equipped with mechanisms for setting precise mitre angles (left and right) and bevel angles (typically to one side, e.g., left). Positive stops at common angles (e.g., 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 30°, 45°) allow for quick and repeatable setup.
• Robust Construction: Built with sturdy materials and components, ensuring long-term durability and resistance to job site wear and tear. The base and fence are designed for accuracy and stability during cutting operations.
• Blade Guard and Safety Features: Includes an automatic blade guard that retracts during the cut and covers the blade when the saw head is raised, enhancing user safety. An electric brake would also typically be present to stop the blade quickly.
• Dust Collection Port: Features a dust extraction port, allowing connection to a dust extractor or vacuum cleaner to manage sawdust, keeping the work area cleaner and improving visibility.
