Description

The 12-inch Double Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw has a 15 Amp motor and integrated XPS crosscut positioning system for adjustment- free, accurate cut line indication. Tall sliding fences support 7-1/2-inch of nested crown and 6-3/4-inch of base molding vertically. Exclusive Back Fence Design cuts up to 2x14 dimensional lumber at 90; increased miter capacity of 60 (R) and 50 (L) features durable stainless-steel miter detent plate with cam lock for repeatable accuracy with easy adjustments. From the Manufacturer The DEWALT DWS780 12-inch sliding compound miter saw, has been designed to be precise and accurate enough for fine woodworking, yet durable enough for framing and deck building. The DWS780 is ideal for a variety of end users, including cabinet makers, trim carpenters, framers, installers, and many other professional contractors who require a product that delivers the accuracy, capacity, durability, portability, and ease-of-use that this saw offers. For visibility and accuracy when cutting, this saw features the XPS LED light and cut alignment system that casts a laser-like shadow on the work surface, showing users where the blade will come in contact with the material. Since it does not require recalibration over time or when changing blades, this alignment system can be more accurate and durable than traditional laser guides. The saw’s dual bevel system includes the ability to bevel right and left from 0 to 49 degrees with positive stops at 0, 22.5, 33.9, 45, and 49 degrees in both directions, as well as a high visibility bevel scale. The saw also miters 60 degrees to the right and 50 degrees to the left and features an adjustable stainless steel miter detent plate with 10 positive stops, allowing for fast and easy adjustments. A cam lock miter button allows users to lock angles between detents for versatility on the jobsite. The saw features a powerful 15 amp motor that delivers 3,800 rpm. For convenience, the power cord is routed through the rail in the back, eliminating interference with the slide. Additionally, the saw offers an industry-leading combination of cut capacities, which includes 6-3/4 inch vertical capacity, 7-1/2 inch nested crown capacity, 13-7/8 inch horizontal capacity, and exclusive back fence design that cuts up to a 2 by 16 at a 90 degree angle and 2 by 12 at a 45 degree angle. To simplify and maximize vertical cutting capacity, the unit includes a rail lock latch for holding the head away from the fence.

    • Great features; Very accurate cuts.
This saw is worth the money: It's easy to use and very accurate. I really like the cut guide, which shines a shadow down the blade to show what's going to be cut out. And it's easy to adjust and lick in settings. My only complaint is that the clamp does not get close enough to the blade, making it more difficult than it out to be to clamp down stop blocks or to clamp shorter pieces. ... show more

    • An Absolute Treasure
I was in need of a new saw that would replace an older 12" Ryobi chop saw (toy). I also wanted to eliminate the remaining nagging need for a less accurate radial arm saw. I had already replaced the need for overhand dados with a good router and the needs for most finish work with a highly accurate sled and fence on my table saw and needed something that could perform as a chop saw but also had the depth to crosscut a decent depth for stairs, flooring and really wide trim and finish pieces that ould be awkward to cut on the table saw no matter the setup. I have not noticed ANY of the problems mentioned by some reviewers and the rather uniform form of those complaints leads me to believe some of them at least may be paid guerrilla commenters. The saw was checked right out of the box with a dial gauge and was dead on. The factory blade was not bad actually. It cuts cleanly as a general purpose crosscut blade but will obviously not last as long as a higher quality blade will or cut quite as cleanly as a finer toothed blade will but it cut through a set of 2 x 12 pressure treated for decking stairs very well; it also cut through some clear grade pine shelving without splintering the edge of the cut. I will still change the blade for really fine stuff. Also the saw didn't seem to bog down in the least going through the heavy pressure treated wood. The XPS system is a freaking dream to use and such a vast improvement over any of the laser systems I've seen or used. If you bring the blade down almost to the wood you get a razor fine line where the saw will cut so you know exactly where the blade is going - no more adding a 1/16" or an 1/8" and the gravy is that you don't need to spin the blade up while your face is closer to the wood and blade to line the cut up because the XPS system is independent of the blade - just remember to turn it off when you're done using the saw. or you'll kill the long lived LEDs before their time and waste expensive electricity. The dust bag is a joke as all dust bags have always been on all miter saws since they first came out. You can probably hook it up to a shop vac and be fine. The blade does quite a powerful job of chucking the saw dust out of the cut area giving it some momentum going into the dust chute. I have been hooking mine up to my roll around 1hp Grizzly dust collector though and love the performance and would say the claims about the dust collection of the hood behind the blade of this saw are not very much exaggerated. In fact I made a few cuts through some of the scrap 2 x 12 material without the dust collector or dust bag and received almost no dust in front of the saw. (It will shoot it out about 15-20 feet behind the saw though) I used a 1 1/2" to 4" Fernco coupler (cost like 4 bucks) on mine and a 6" length of 4" PVC scrap (the white stuff) to connect this to the 4" hose from the dust collector and it works like a charm. The bearings. Many are the whinings about the bearings and the accuracy at full extension - especially when using the back fence to be able to cross cut 16". The first thing is that they stick or are hard to move. The first couple of passes out of the box and the bearings did in fact seem a bit stiff. There is little to no lube on the bars right out of the box as the bearings have not been slid over them. A few passes and they loosened up a bit; a little machine oil and they flew. The only time they seemed to bog after that was when I was making some test passes through scrap with no bag or dust collector hooked up to see how much dust was actually being captured by the blade hood. I'm sure this just accelerated what would happen slowly anyway but dust caked on the bearing did succeed in bogging up the glides. A simple wipe down followed by a few squirts of machine oil and I was back in business. That is simple, common sense maintenance though and shouldn't be held as a ding against the saw. The other popular complaint is the accuracy at the full 16" cut depth. I made and installed the sub fence by following the instructions in the manual and made some test cuts. It bears to mention that 16" wide pieces of lumber of any length can be quite unwieldy and should be clamped before cutting - both for accuracy and for the love of our fingers. There was less than a 0.002" difference between the near side and the far side of the cut. That is far, far less than 1/64th of an inch and not noticeable in any finish work and I dare say a good bit closer to perfect than any of the cuts made on mass produced furniture. I've since used the saw to make 16" deep serving table made up of glued up pine panels and it is dead on square and level. As far as I am concerned that is near enough to perfect as makes no difference and about as close as you can get with any woodworking equipment. I love this saw and see many years of use in it if taken care of properly. I did find it kind of amusing that the Ryobi branded stand I had purchased for my older Ryobi 12" miter saw required me to make an adapter plate out of plywood to fit the Ryobi saw to the clamps that hold it on the stand but the Dewalt fit right on the same clamps with no issue like they were made for it. ... show more

    • Excellent miter saw
I ordered this saw for a big kitchen job with a really large crown molding. I have to say that I am very pleased. Like any tool there are both positives and negatives. I will try to briefly highlight both. The positives are; the saw is very accurate and it has a huge capacity. The dust collection is the best I have used. My Festool dust extractor attaches to the saw perfectly without an adapter. The vacuum picks up almost all the fine dust. There is some larger dust particles that collect behind the saw but the dust doesn't seem to drift through out the house. The LED light is wonderful. It is accurate, it doesn't need to be calibrated when you change blades and it provides enough illumination to clearly see my cut mark in a poorly lit room or garage. Pretty much every one who has seen the saw has been impressed with the light. It is a big plus. All the saws adjustments are fast and easy, the scales are big so they are easy to see and easy to set, even to quarters of a degree. The negatives are; the saw is BIG! To be fair that is also the reason I bought the saw in the first place. The saw needs to be set up several feet away from the wall to get full travel. The dust bag adds quite a bit of depth to the saw requiring you to move it even further from the wall. It would be hard to use this saw in a hallway. This saw would really benefit from a soft start motor. The motor has enough "kick" when both starting and stopping the motor that the blade jumps up to an inch. I ruined several work pieces the first few days I used this saw until I got used to how much the blade moves on start up and stopping. I am a professional trim carpenter, sometimes I set my tools up for a month at a job and other times only for a few hours. I have decided to not carry this saw in my van every day, it takes up too much room and is too heavy to carry, if my trustily old 8 1/2" miter saw will do the job. If i am going to be set up for a few days, am doing crown molding or need to set up inside a house and use dust collection this is the saw I bring to the job. The saw is good enough that if I could only have one saw, this is the one I would choose. All things considered, I really like this saw and would recommend it to anyone who has enough room for it. ... show more

    • A great sliding miter saw
I bought this to replace an old (hand me down) saw that I've had for many years. Doing remodels, I use these saws a lot. This saw was a bit lighter than my old one. Although I also bought a rolling stand for this one and crown stops for cutting crown molding. It's a great setup. Much quicker and easier to use than my old dewalt that I was packing around. This wasn't a cheap investment (around $900 in all), buying the saw, stand, and stops; but it will make my work much easier and faster. I'll probably use this saw instead of my circular saw for most of my work. The stand makes it so easy and quick to get straight cuts and miter cuts, and sets up in seconds. ... show more
