kanxrus Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 I have been watching this new innovation from Bosch since I saw the sneak peak back in May. I finally stumbled across a great video on all the features and benefits. What do you guy's think about this new saw? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I10K3N-UCnY?fs=1&hl=en_US Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatorb8881393434512 Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 It's a pretty neat, something new is always exciting... Pretty expensive, just did a online search and it retails for $799+. Here are a couple other things I noticed. I don't like how they used the Older Dewalt DW708 to compare tool "depth" the DW718's rails are shorter. The DW718 still has a larger cut capacity: 16" Horizontal vs Bosch at 14" and 6 5/8" crown veritcally nested vs Bosch at 6 1/2". DW718 weighs 53lbs. VS Bosch at 65lbs They also mention the reason for the Axial-Glide is because you get "rail deteriation" I haven't heard that being an issue in the field? I could be wrong? I do like the front controls for bevel adjustments and the side rails for material support. But is it worth the extra $200 vs the DW718 $599 price tag?

Feif64 Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 It does have a lot of nice features but Dewalt is not often the leader in new features on tools. I own the DC708 and even though it doesn't have all the bells and whistles it just flat out works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
