Ratings & Reviews for DEWALT 12-in 15-Amp Dual Bevel Sliding Compound Corded Miter Saw

DO NOT BUY

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was extremely disappointed with this purchase, the blade bottoms out on a piece below the miter slot, and the dust deflector was broken and for the price I was really unhappy, I returned the saw and will be stuck using my 20 plus year old dewalt 12in non sliding saw, which was a feature I was really needing, dewalt tools are usually a great buy but this is the first time I had any issues, I will probably try a different brand unfortunately, I...

It works

Works great

Worth the money, but watch for this

This saw has all the features one could expect for this price. I would caution over one thing. the 780 has several different "types". Type 1 and type 2 have some parts that go bad, and dewalt no longer sell those parts. the armature is one, and they specifically make a point that no other saw armature will work. It's best to avoid type 1 and type 2, although i'm unsure how to discover the type without opening the box. Lowes had the type 2 on display, but not sure if the one's in the box are late...

Perfect saw for multiple uses

I have an older saw exactly like this one and I’ve been very satisfied with it.

LED Light Did Not Last

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The saw cuts very well, but after less than a year of moderate use the LED light went out.

It has the power

It makes it nice not having the laser because the led was more accurate.

The product is very well made.

Even though the product had been returned used to the store prior to me purchading it the store manager was able to work with me and discounted the product further to my satisfaction.

Great saw, accurate, XPS light stopped working

I have all other DeWalt tools. I was looking to upgrade my miter saw from a starter Ryobi miter saw with a led shadow Cutline (so the upgrade needed this feature as it's incredibly helpful). I cross researched all brands top of the line miter saws (except festool because I'm not rich). This saw consistently came out on top in my research. I love the saw and it is very accurate with a myriad of adjustments to keep it so. I deducted 1 star because the led shadow Cutline stopped working 6 months in...

Still accurate

I have had this saw for about 4 years. It still cuts very accurate when doing trim work. I really like how easy it is to change the blade. Even after riding around in the bed of my truck, I check it for square each time. I have never had to adjust it. Great saw to have.

Great upgrade.

I finally was able to upgrade my old chop saw when this Dewalt I've been eyeing went on sale. I was able to immediately put it to use and am very pleased with my purchase. I'm looking forward to doing many new things that my old chop saw couldn't.

It is worth every penny it costs

This is a great machine !!

Get it before the price goes up again!

Well built

this is my best

I'm a pro trim carpenter and have been using dewalt miter saws for over 25 years. My American made dw706 and my Mexican made dw717 saws have been stellar. I was skeptical when I purchased this dws780 because it's made in Taiwan. After months of hard use, I've put this saw at the top of my list. Accuracy stays spot on and it seems more powerful than any of my previous Dewalts. It's my front runner and my whole operation revolves around this saw.
