Review on 🔧 Dewalt DW718 / DWS780 / DW717 Miter Saw Clamp Assembly (2 Pack) # 630065-00-2pk: Reliable Clamping Solution by DEWALT by Chris Crisler

They work with my old DW708 12 inch rail car miter saw. There are decals on the saw that say "Use clamps for smaller boards". The term "less" is relative. . It looks like what DeWALT means is somewhere in the 2 to 3 foot less range. These clips WILL NOT WORK for small pieces of wood, say 2 to 3 inches. As other reviews have noted, the clamps are LARGE and block the number of sawing positions. They appear to have been specifically designed to allow NO possibility of them getting in the blade's path. That's not unreasonable, and I am. It certainly makes the lawyers very happy, but it eliminates the need for a number of cuts that are often necessary with "smaller" pieces of wood. Clamps can be useful and much safer for somewhat larger pieces of wood.
