Review on πŸ”§ Dewalt DW718 / DWS780 / DW717 Miter Saw Clamp Assembly (2 Pack) # 630065-00-2pk: Reliable Clamping Solution by DEWALT by Enrique Espinoza

Revainrating 4 out of 5

They are two identical. Looks like the right clamps? The left hand is in the way.

Ha, actually they are fine and work well, but because when not in use, the left side folds out clockwise to the side, and the right side folds out counterclockwise to the side, because the pull handles are on the right side pulls the The handle engages on the right when folded back and hangs over the rail on the left. You can take them off, but let's face it when that happens. , it's almost lost. RIP, the left lateral support arm that has seemingly vanished from existence. Cracked. The solution, and what they had to do in the first place, was to drill and tap a new grip hole on the other side of the bracket on the left so it swings completely out of the way. I haven't used it while they are in place for corners and I'm not sure how much they can bother that. There may be some magnets attached so they can be removed and attached to the back of the saw. Possibly a small retaining clip. Some. So yes, it really makes sense, but not quite thought through. A minor thing, but one of mine didn't have a locking ring either. They are only there to prevent the tops from loosening and are not used for tightening. Therefore, it can even be useful to remove the top with the missing one, since it is about the tightening knob.

Pros
  • Stable test results
Cons
  • Appearance
