WELL MADE SAW

Would Recommend

Good cuts with provided blade, miter detents accurate, adjustments and locking in position between detents is good, bevel adjustments and depth of cut adjustment good. The blade position shadow is accurate but hard to see in bright sunlight. Wishing there were provisions for material stops, I'm not sure what is available for that other than the molding stops. This saw has a lot of improvements over my old one from the turn of the century. :)

great saw. game changer

Would Recommend

I previously had a seven and a quarter inch cobalt miter saw. when it broke in the middle of a trim project, I bought this dewalt, and it was a game changer. the work late with the shadow cast of the blade for accuracy and the ability for additional capacity truly improves the quality and quantity of your work. buy it sooner than later

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Beast of a Miter Saw — Smooth, Accurate, and Way Too Fun to Use I’ve used a lot of miter saws over the years, but this DeWalt 12” sliding double-bevel is on a whole different level. The power is unreal — it cuts through thick hardwood like it’s bored and looking for a challenge. The slide action is buttery smooth, the accuracy is spot-on straight out of the box, and the bevel adjustments are so easy and precise that even I can’t mess them up. The dual-bevel feature is a game changer fo...

This saw has all the bells and whistles.

Would Recommend

Love the shadow blade light for accurate line cuts. It has locking hook when slide not needed. Has a depth gauge setting which is great when wanting shallow cuts. And has automatic stops to choose from when using tilt angle cuts at 22.5 31 and 45 degrees

DWS780

Would Not Recommend

The saw is powerful and makes very nice and accurate cuts. However, the XPS Cutline is only approximate (the kerf is wider than the projected cut line), which is fine for rough carpentry, but useless for finish work (see photos). Furthermore, dust collection is basically non-existent (see photos). Even with a dust collection vacuum, dust gets everywhere — so bad It’s basically not usable indoors. If you feel compelled to buy a Dewalt slider, get the 779. The 780 is not worth the extra $$.

Hooked After One Cut – DeWalt for Life!

Would Recommend

I bought the 12 in. Double-Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw last year as my very first DeWalt product—and I was instantly hooked. After just one weekend of use, I ran straight back to the store and picked up the DeWalt table saw, a full set of drills, impact drivers, and hand tools. That saw didn’t just impress me—it converted me. DeWalt is now my go-to brand for everything in my workshop. The quality, power, and precision are unmatched. I’ve been counting down to Black Friday just so I can exp...
