how do I install the dw7187 laser on my dw718 miter saw

It will go on, it's a bit tricky on the upper unit, I had a small pliers to hold one end and the other end to push them together. What is you hang up on it??? Did you get any instructions???

You have to have the old design of the dw 718. I actually returned my dw718 for a different dw718 at Lowes. They thought I was crazy. But what happened when they redesigned it, with some great improvments, is that DeWalt changed the handle and the laser does not fit on the new design. DeWalt may have a fix since about 18 mo. ago that I'm not aware of, but otherwise you need to look for the 718 from the correct year. Now, if you have the proper design, then the instructions are straightforward, but i'm happy to help if you need it. DeWalt also has service centers and their products carry initial service agreements if I recall correctly. Hope this helps, but feel free to ping me again here if needed. Cheers!

It mounts to the saw with predetermined locations of screws and a wire chase. The instructions are very straight forward and it only takes about 15 minutes, plus alignment. It works great, too!

I don't have saw handy, but the Dewalt web sitehttp://www.dewalt.com/tools/tile-saws-handheld-tile-saw-dwc860w.aspxsays 20 mm

Depends on width of mitre slot, my dewalt dw745 table saw has 3/4 inch slot. It fitted perfectly after I adjusted the 4 screws, took a few minutes. Hope this helps

Specifications for the Laser Cutting Guide states "Fits most Miter, Chop, and Cutoff Saws with 7/16-Inch shaft". The specs for your saw say the arbor is "1. If that's true, the laser guide will not fit your saw without modifying it. Also, know that the laser line projection is not that visible in bright light such as outdoors. The thickness of the Laser Guide is given as 0.4 inches, the diameter is 1.96". Hope this helps.

I was also interested in retrofitting my DW744. I have original parts list indicating that extension arm DW7441 is an accessory (therefore it should fit). However, on initial inspection, it isn't obvious to me how the support will attach to the saw body. I have two under table c channels screwed to the table underside about midway between front to back. but I see no holes designed to allow the support to attach and extend out of saw base unless additional brackets come with the support. I could just order it and if it doesn't work, return it immediately.

The product description does say that it is designed to fit the 715 - 718 saws. Be that as it may, I am extremely disappointed with this laser and would not recommend it. Try one of the hub mounted drive washer lasers instead.

Yes Sir, the DeWalt on line catalog said it will work. I have the DW 718 which it is a Double`instead of a single.You will have a bit of trouble with the wires connector but it will fit and work.I had to use a skinny nose piers to hold them in order to clamp together

I have a Dewalt dw745 and I am using a Incra 1000 miter gauge with it. Works fine. A lot better than the JUNK that came with it.

Hi DavidI just had a look at the DW7480 saw, it seems very similar to my DW745. As long as the mitre slots are 3/4 inch wide and 3/8inch deep it should fit. I think it is a must have accessory to a table saw. Best Wishes David C

Make sure good battery is installed. When you turn on saw laser light will come on. spinning of blade turns on laser, must work on some type of centrifugal force activating laser light.

I am not sure as the exact product number is not listed as being compatible. Please contact the manufacturer of your saw to confirm.

Unfortunately, DeWalt does not list a led light or laser for Model DW716 Type 20. Types 1-4 can use either DWS7085 and DW7187, but not type 20. You might want to call DeWalt directly for possible alternative suggestions.

Had the same question myself, since that is the model of Hitachi miter saw I am intending to buy. If you look at the Amazon user uploaded photos, the second one shows the laser on the Hitachi C10FCE2. The model number is on the side of the blade housing. Amazon also seems to think these two items are "regular bought together". Planning on purchasing both and seeing if it works out. I'll try to update my experience. *Update* Installed and it works perfectly. Didn't need to make any adjustments when I installed it.

Yes, it fits the DW745. I know this because I have a DW745. Also, it fits with the nut fully threaded on the arbor, so I don't have a problem with it. If the nut was even partially not fully threaded then I would be concerned, but this is just not the case. The DW745 is probably a little under powered, but I can still cut 3/8" dados just fine. Keep in mind that DeWalt recommends that you should not use a dado blade with the DW745. The choice is yours.

Take the wrench out of its holder and loosen up bolt holding the blade. You will have to engage the blade stop that is located on the front side of the saw. Remove the bold and blade and then to install a new blade just reverse this procedure making sure you install the blade in the correct rotation.

the dw716 is only a miter saw that cuts a width of about 8". The dw780 is a miter saw that will cut 14" wide. they both have dual bevel. the dw716 miters to about 50 degrees both ways. the slider dw780 miters 60 degrees one way and the other about 50 degrees
