Take a tough miter saw applications with this 12 in. Double-Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw. a 15 Amp motor and integrated XPS crosscut positioning system for adjustment-free, accurate cut line indication, this tool is designed with a durable stainless-steel miter detent plate with cam lock. 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.

    • Great tool
I didn't know what I was missing before I bought a 12" miter saw. The Dewalt 780 is well made and very accurate but also quick to change from cut to cut. My saw needed some tweaking on the pre-set stops but that was an easy thing to do. After that it was ready to go. The fit and finish of everything was good. The slides are a little rough at first but seem to wear in over a little bit of time. That was a concern at first and other reviews mention it as well but it doesn't seem to be a problem now. The sawdust bag works okay but has very limited capacity. The shadow light also works very well. Mine is slightly off (maybe .005) but after using it for a while it's easy to compensate. It's a great feature. I haven't looked at the manual to see it that's adjustable but it's only off by something like the width of a sharp pencil line and once you've adjusted yourself to that you can split a pencil line. The motor torque is surprisingly strong at start up. A soft start would have been better but, again, it's a very minor issue on a great saw. Purists and professionals may not love this as much as me but it's fast, easy and accurate for my needs. My radial arm saw hasn't even been turned on since I got this 780. I also bought the Dewalt stand. It works great too. The work support adjustments require some tweaking to get perfect when there's a need to change them but it's easy enough. If you have a jamb level it's REALLY easy. The extension arms work well on long material and stay pretty level even when extended way out. I've added this mini review because it's such a good companion piece with the saw. If this was lost or stolen I'd order a new one immediately. It's just incredibly fast to work with; it's easy to change the setups and the cuts are very nice. I did buy a better blade for trim work but the stock blade works fine for less delicate pieces. ... show more

    • Beautiful dual bevel saw.
Absolutely amazing. Needed the dual bevel for skirt boards and was more than happy with the results. Saw is not heavy, quiet versus my old miter saw, and was easy to get up and running. Great product.

    • 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

    • Strong motor, Great features.
You just can't go wrong with a Dewalt saw. I decided to purchase this saw basically for the LED light saw guide and the sliding feature which allows for wider cuts. I sold my old Dewalt chop saw that i had used for the past 28 years.. I highly recommend this saw. The Dewalt product quality is the best. ... show more

    • Very, Very Nice Miter Saw
The Dewalt 780 was a great purchase. I got it at an excellent sale price around Black Friday so the cost was comparable to the 779 model which is essentially the same unit minus the XPS light...but the light is worth every penny. Unlike laser lines on some units which are notorious for going off kilter, the XPS light is mounted behind the blade and the shadow it casts is your cut line. Fool proof every time. Keep in mind you also may need to calibrate the blade. Mine was spot on 90 degrees to the fence from the factory but the bevel needed some tweaking which was actually a very simple bolt adjustment. Zero wobble on the blade which was also a nice surprise, and it performed great. Little tear out with the Dewalt 60 tooth blade on typical lumber yard pine, but the cuts were nice and smooth and spot on 90 degrees on both the vertical and horizontal, triple checked with a precision square. This thing went through some recently split Walnut, and some of the pieces were pretty big, it went right through them. Only thing I don't like is the screw clamp, they need to rethink that one, it just takes forever, and I definitely wish there was more of a base plate for wider things like uneven slabs I'd normally shim which can be jenky, but I can make some sort of an extension piece for that. Overall, super happy with the unit. I wish my table saw from another manufacturer was this trouble free. ... show more
