Works well
has a limit on how long this stop will allow you to cut mutiple pieces. For very long work it won't work.

Great
I knew the product so I knew that it would be good. What I liked was the price and the service. I bought two with you for the price of one at a retail store.

DeWalt Should Sell as a SET and at a reasonable cost!
Ok I admit it, I misread the advertisement and thought I was buying a pair (set) of extensions. For the price, I feel one extension set is a rip-off and DeWalt should consider selling a set at a price somewhere between $32 for 1 set but certainly not $64 for 2 sets (list price is $88 for 2 sets).
One set is useless when, for example, sawing crown moldings or similar instances. Nobody wants to keep switching the extension back and forth.

questionable description
As always the quality is great, but you only receive one arm in the package. Just want to make you aware.

with DW703
Online this is marketed everywhere as compatible with the 703, 706, 708. The actual package only lists the 708. After installing on the 703, I would say they made this for the 708 and discovered it kinda worked for the 703.

The support piece is attached to the two rods through 2 large nuts. Note that you WILL need 2 crescent wrenches to assemble this part. The nuts are designed with a plastic liner on the end that is not grooved, so your first screw-in makes the grooves. The rod is flattened to allow for a crescent wrench to grab it so you can tighten. OK, it works there.

On the other end, the rods fit very loosely into the base of the 703. Most importantly, the 703 is designed so these rods only go in about 3 inches and then hit the base. Therefore there is NO "telescoping" functionality at all. From the minimal instructions, I take it the 708 is not like this and they can slide under the base, but the 703 only allows full extension. They give you screws to tighten down onto the top of the bars, through the base of the saw. These screws are almost impossible to get down in there. You will need a very large flathead screwdriver (at least 5/16" head) to crank this down. I had to clamp on an auto-loc handle onto the screwdriver just to tighten the screw all the way. Same goes for both screws.

So when it's all attached, it's fairly solid so far. But this is a somewhat permanent attachement the way those screws are. I don't want 20 inches sticking out all the time, and I can't telescope it in at all. I guess I'm suposed to keep the large screwdriver and the auto-loc handy whenever I want to attach or take off this thing. Who knows how long those screws will hold tight, then this thing is worthless.

VERY dissapointed in DeWalt on this. I thought they were suposed to be the best.
