I'm looking to get a new 12" CMS. I prefer the Dewalts, but am deciding
between the 705 and the 706. The 706 has dual bevel and greater verticle
cutting capacticity. At Sears, the 706 will only cost $20 more after rebate
and discount. However, the 705 comes with one extension and the extentions
can be stored under the saw completely retracted. Extensions can't be
retracted on the 706.
This is for home use. I'm planning on using it immediately for cross
cutting, new baseboards, and new crown. Who knows what in the future.
Footprint is somewhat important, and weight not so much.
Any opinion?
I just bought the 706 and love it!
I bought it to cut crown molding and it does a great job. It would be a lot
more complicated without the double bevel feature. I bought an accessory
DeWalt calls "crown stops" and they work great.
