 DeWalt DWS7085 is a great product May 28, 2008
By Robert Wilkinson
The DeWalt DWS7085 LED worklight system is fantastic. I was able to install it in about 10 minutes and it works great. It not only shows the blade shadow for precise cuts, it also lights up the work surface. The light could be a little brighter as I sometimes use the saw outdoors in better than shop lighting. I prefer it to a laser as it shows both sides of the cut and does not need any adjustment to be precise. Great addition to a great saw.

Behold the power of the dark side! Jul 28, 2008
By G. Rosario
Installation: Easy on my DW718. Kit comes with a small torx tool to remove the necessary cover plates for the switch/power assembly and worklight assembly. You have to raise the blade guard to get to one of the mounting screws for the LED worklight. No adjustments needed.
Function: Bright, ambient LED worklight certainly improves safety and awareness of immediate area surrounding the blade. Independent On/Off switch for LED light is another nice feature...if you leave the light on, it indicates that the saw is "live" or "hot" and your crazy buddy won't have the urge to pull the trigger to see if the saw is still plugged in.
The resolution of the shadow that is created by the LED downlight on the saw blade is quite remarkable. You can actually see the kerf of each tooth...lasers can't do that. The shadow accurately tracks at all angles and bevels (why wouldn't it...it's a shadow.)
Things to think about:
- Performs as promised in a workshop/ garage. If you are working in the sunny outdoors, forget about seeing any shadow.
- Shadow resolution is clearest when blade is close to workpiece. All of the simulated product photos show the shadow line when the saw blade is pulled down to raise the blade guard out of the way.
- If your blade is not true or has runout problems, the projected shadow may not be accurate...if this is the case, you have bigger problems than a crooked shadow.
Overall, I would recommend this product.

This takes all the guessing out of cuts! May 03, 2008
By Craig Sanders
I wasn't quite sure if this was going to be a wise investment or not but after the first time of using it I was SOLD! When you turn the light on as the saw approaches the material you get an exact shadow of what is going to be removed. This takes a lot of the guessing and repositioning out of my day now and I couldn't imagine not having it now.

Big thumbs up! Mar 14, 2009
By J. T. Mois
Here are the high points...
Super easy installation - the saw is prewired to accept the light and power supply.
No batteries or adapters - the unit is powered directly from the saw.
There's no adjustment needed - the shadow line is dead on (it can't help but be).
It doesn't matter if I'm using my regular or thin kerf blades; everything in the shadow gets cut. Nothing more, nothing less.
Here are a few other things to note - not bad things, just had to get used to them...
Need to lower the blade to the workpiece to get a decent shadow.
Took a little bit to get used to the lumpy looking shadow line, since each individual carbide tooth casts a shadow.
Here are the low points...
I waited six months before deciding to by this thing - STUPID!
I would buy the LED work light again in a heartbeat!

Simple to Install and Operate and Adds Real Value Jan 30, 2009
By neveo
My overall reaction to the Dewalt LED work light miter saw accessory after a week's use is consistent with the earlier reviews - 5 Stars! It took less than 10 minutes to install on a new Dewalt DW717, needs no adjustment in operation and the shadow line shows exactly where the blade is going to cut when the blade is lowered close to the workpiece. I expect it will be a big help in reducing my miter cut rework and setup time. DEWALT DWS7085 Miter Saw LED Work Light System I found that I could improve the shadow line visibility outdoors by using my Fastcap saw hood - used only indoors for dust contaiment before.
