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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Fits DW715 except when they block saw head

Holds material well for most cuts on my Dewalt DW715 (Type 3) miter saw, but they can interfere with saw head movement. Current Dewalt documentation states that these clamps are compatible with Dewalt DW717, DW718 (Type 2 and 3) and DWS780 miter saws. Please note that DW715 is currently NOT listed. They now recommend clamp #153650-00 for the DW715 miter saw (and a number of their other miters). LEFT: It is not possible to perform a 45 degree chamfer when this clamp is installed on the left side. Smaller bevels like 35 degrees can work. RIGHT: The clamp should turn to the right as far as possible. Otherwise the saw motor will be blocked by the threaded handle of the clamp. There is a star deduction for the obstacle problem. Other reviewers have mentioned other methods of tightening clamps quickly. I agree these clips are not fast. I paid €40 for this pair. The currently recommended clip #153650-00 costs about $65 for one or $121 for a pair. Hm. Dewalt 2-pack DW708/DW718 miter saw clamp replacement DW7082 # 153650-00-2pk
