What Customers Are Saying
This miter saw offers excellent cutting performance and accuracy, with a smooth sliding action, precise adjustments, and the ability to handle a wide range of materials. It has a sturdy, durable construction that contributes to its stability and precision. The saw provides impressive power and capacity, easily cutting through thick lumber and wide boards. Convenient features like the adjustable fence, depth stop, and dust collection system improve workflow and reduce mess. However, the saw's weight and large footprint make it less portable, and the included blade may not be ideal for fine finish work.

Great Saw
Bought it a couple years ago and it is by far the best miter saw i have every used. Super simple and and easy adjust. The dust bag can get jammed up but other that that, it is wicked

Easy to use
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have bought 3 of them in the last 20 years, I love this saw, I do miss the older one it had a different handle set up on it and was really comfortable to use, I'm a framer and trim carpenter and use the saw every day

Great saw but needs to come with a 80T blade
just bought this saw and used the weekend on crown moulding. It works well and I was pleased with accuracy and operation. The only downside was I didnt realize it comes with a 32T blade and had to go back out to store and buy a new 80T dewalt blade for the crown. Otherwise I would have given 5 stars.

Horrible Dust Collection
I purchased this saw a year ago and have used it to build chairs, coffee tables, and end tables. The saw is solid and accurate. The fence and clamp are excellent. The reason for the low rating is poor dust collection. The shroud and snorkel with bag catch very little dust. Even with a shop vac attached to the snorkel, most dust is blown to the left of the shroud. This problem is well documented online. My biggest complaint is the lack of solution from Dewalt. I will have to purchase an e...

Mixed emotions
Don’t get me wrong. I love this saw and how useful it is but in my opinion it’s a little on the heavy side. Obviously it’s a big saw and it’s gonna be heavy. It is very helpful when cutting taller baseboard or crown molding for a whole house and saves a lot of time but personally I wouldn’t be pulling this big guy out just to replace a couple pieces. Overall it’s a good bang for your buck.

12" Dbl Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw
Just bought this saw, I have other DeWalt products so I'm sure it will perform well. I do have an issue with the included accessories, there are none. No blade wrench, dust bag, vertical material clamp, or instruction manual. I downloaded and printed the manual, but the other parts are going to add additional cost I was not planning on (especially since the parts were to be included). I don't think this was DeWALT's doing but the retailer. Bought the tool in Boise and traveled home 450 miles...
