DWS780 Sliding Compound Miter Saw, 15A, 12 In.
Description
The DeWalt DWS780 is a 12-inch double bevel sliding compound miter saw designed for accurate crosscutting and angled cuts on trim, molding, and dimensional lumber. Its 15-amp motor delivers the power needed for smooth operation through tough materials, while the integrated XPS cross cut positioning system provides precise cut line indication. This saw is ideal for finish carpenters, trim installers, and woodworkers who need reliable performance and repeatable accuracy on job sites and in the shop.
The exclusive back fence design cuts up to 2 × 16 dimensional lumber at 90 degrees and 2 × 12 at 45 degrees, offering increased capacity for larger stock. The sliding mechanism combined with dual bevel capability makes it versatile for crown molding, baseboards, and structural lumber work. A sturdy base and durable construction resist wear from frequent use, while thoughtful features like the improved handle design enhance portability and ease of setup.
