goldy Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 I have a dewalt DW716 Type 1, that I'm having all sorts of squaring up and alignment issues. I've read the manual 10x and I've been through the troubleshooting of aligning it. The blade is square at 90 degrees to the fence and the table. When I move the saw to do an outside right angle the saw is aligned without issue and my front facing cut on the molding is 90 degrees which is right. Now, the problem is when I swing the saw to do an outside left 45. The saw is like a hair out of square, which is why I'm confused as well all. I can't figure out for the life of me why when I make the cut the front facing angle is a hair off. Even though the saw is a compound double-bevel, I haven't touched that. I'm just doing baseboard molding and I don't use the bevel as of yet *confused* and looking for help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 Maybe a defect? I have had 2 Dewalt miter saws- DW715 Type 3 & DWS780 Type 1. Both came with all angles set right out of the box, no adjustment needed. So i have never personally had any issues with them. This is a different model, but maybe it will help: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

framer Posted August 24, 2020 Report Share Posted August 24, 2020 you put a level on the saw deck to make sure the fence is straight? and not bowed in the middle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
