That has double bevel and good dust collection!
Unfortunately Dewalt discontinued the DW712 8-1/2″ single bevel sliding miter saw. Other tool manufacturers still make one (Bosch 8-1/2″ and Makita 7-1/2″). All of these are single bevel though.
I’d look at the DW717. It’s a 10″ but double bevel. I don’t think you’ll find a double bevel 7-1/2″- 8-1/2″
I have come close to purchasing the Hitachi a couple times, the fence is such a POS though and
its the convenience of having the double bevel that gets me. Would really like to see a smaller quality made version.
And while im wishing!
A wee smaller/lighter version of the 745 table saw would be cool too. I know im getting fussy now but I am using the track saw for cutting wide stock to size and that works great for me.
