Description
Product Overview
The DEWALT 12 in. Double Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw (Model DWS780) combines power, precision, and versatility to tackle the most demanding cutting applications on the jobsite or in the workshop. Powered by a robust 15 Amp motor delivering 3,800 RPM, it easily cuts through hardwoods, dimensional lumber, plastics, and composites with consistent performance.
Featuring an integrated XPS CUTLINE Blade Positioning System, it projects an accurate shadow line on the workpiece for adjustment-free alignment, ensuring precision cuts every time. Its exclusive back fence design allows crosscuts up to 2 x 14 in. dimensional lumber at 90° and 2 x 10 in. at 45°. The tall sliding fences support up to 7-1/2 in. nested crown molding and 6-3/4 in. base molding vertically, while the adjustable stainless-steel miter detent plate with 10 positive stops ensures repeatable accuracy.
The saw miters 60° to the right and 50° to the left, expanding your cutting capacity for a wide range of projects. Despite its powerful capabilities, the compact, lightweight design (69 lbs) with built-in carry handle makes it easily portable and convenient to store.
