Dewalt Miter Saw DWS709 - TYPE 20 (2015)

The DeWalt DWS709 is a 2015 model of the compound miter saw. This model, known as the "Type 20", is intended for precise, smooth cutting of wood. The Type 20 can also complete clean cuts of specific metals such as, aluminum and copper. Commonly, this saw is used for woodworking of fences, bearings, frames, trimming, and rails. The tall sliding fences and dual bevel adjustments permit precise cutting, but it is recommended to wear proper safety gear when in use.

This saw contains a slide-mechanism which is an improvement from earlier models and allows for smooth bevel adjustments and accurate angled cuts. The DeWalt DWS709, permits preset stops and weighs 51 lbs for easy portability. Replacement parts and manuals are available for this model and are accessible by searching the model and type number.

The DeWalt DWS709 is a compound miter saw with black and yellow coloring reflective of DeWalt branding. This model has tall sliding fences with two steel rails (these rails are distinctive) that permit saw head movement. The saw has a wide based and weighs about 51 lbs. It is about 22.75" wide x 19.5" tall when the saw head arm is retracted. This model does not have an LED guide like other DeWalt models (ex, DWS780). The model number can be found on the motor housing which is near the handle or near the saw frame, and it should read "DWS709" with a type number (ex, TYPE 20). The model number and type number are important for ordering parts as it is this information which will determine which parts are appropriate. The best way to confirm the device is by checking the model and type number and inspecting for the absence of the LED light.
