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.

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.

  • An Absolute Treasure
Color: Black, Yellow Size: 12-inch
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

  • Love it!!
Color: Black, Yellow Size: 12-inch
Although my old Craftsman compound mitre saw still works, I need a way to cut wider boards (wider than the craftsman 8" max) without trying to flip the board or cut on the table saw. This Dewalt at 16" cut depth handles a much broader range of board widths and is very accurate. This saw runs much smoother , quieter, and more accurate than my craftsman. Obvious other improvement is the shadow line, which lights up your cut area and shows where the blade will cut. Cuts are easily within 1/64" using the shadow line. The price was decent at the time of $499. I have only a couple of negatives. When you drop the blade down to the cut, position your cutie and hit the trigger, the saw is so powerful that the saw arm jumps down into the wood before you're ready. You just need to make sure that you pull the trigger well above the work piece before bringing it down for the cut. A second negative would be the depth necessary for setting this up on a work bench. I have a 24" deep work bench and it won't fit. You need about 36" bench depth. This is kind of inherent in all the sliding mitre saws though, just a little worse on this one due to the 16" cut depth. I added extra wood to the top of my work bench to accommodate the extra depth if I'm using it on the bench (I also bought the dewalt stand, awesome!) . Other reviews mentioned that the 2 rods that the ball bearings ride on for the sliding motion get gummed up with saw dust. It seems like all these sliding saws use the same method. It slides very smooth for me out of the box. Out of caution and because I only use the sliding about 5 to 10% of the time, I added 1" i.d. conduit insulation to these round rods. It's cheap, only $2.50 for 12', and covers the rods completely, sealing at each end (see pic). They only take a few scones to remove if I need the sliding feature. I cut the pieces 1/8" longer than needed so it would be a snug fit. Overall very happy with this purchase, highly recommend! ! ... show more

  • Great Saw - Well Made - Precise Cuts
Color: Black, Yellow Size: 12-inch
This saw is a beast. Heavy (60 lbs?), but made solid. Extremely precise and easy to change adjustments. Amazon had an amazing price which made this an excellent buy.

  • Excellent quality
Color: Black, Yellow Size: 12-inch
I just received it and it has all the bells and whistles you could want. certainly outperforms the 20 year old Rigid I replaced. Very accurate cuts and easy to use. I do plan on getting the stand which is a must have unless you have plenty of bench space
