Old: Although the old box 📦 (see: picture) of the DW715 does advertise compatibility with the DW7187 DeWalt Miter Saw Laser known hereafter as ‘the DeWalt laser’ it is not in front of me to determine type. Note on model difference: Guard width is visible on profile from four exposed metallic circles on it. The saw has appeared cross listed as the DW716 with motors toward the rear bevel adjustment. New: I have also now read in forums that the DeWalt laser is incompatible with the guard and/or handle of the DW715 type 3 🚨, as it is a wired after market component for specific type # saws and model years unknown... (I could bring my new DW715 to a service center to be absolutely certain the DeWalt laser will or will not fit. I could bring both old and new for a complete trial of the packaging. Option: the less adjustable tested and known📈 Oshlun LG-M01 battery operated laser. Irwin and Bosch were also represented on a search for “miter saw laser”. Replaces the outer clamp (bolt/clamp/blade).) ...I can write for certain after a thorough inspection and that because there is no port exposed near the guard or handle of the new type 3 DW715 to adapt DW7187 the DeWalt laser wire, I have no urge to order. Also, old type 3 models had ability to loosen the steel plate table extension and slide it under for easy portability. The new tables are 🥩 beefier for potential drops of the work piece; less air there now for retracting table extensions.
