Product Description

Product Description

The 12-inch Double Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw has a 15 Amp motor and integrated XPS crosscut positioning system for adjustment-free, accurate cut line indication. Tall sliding fences support 7-1/2-inch of nested crown and 6-3/4-inch of base molding vertically. Exclusive Back Fence Design cuts up to 2x14 dimensional lumber at 90; increased miter capacity of 60 (R) and 50 (L) features durable stainless-steel miter detent plate with cam lock for repeatable accuracy with easy adjustments.

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. Since it does not require recalibration over time or when changing blades, this alignment system can be more accurate and durable than traditional laser guides. The saw’s dual bevel system includes the ability to bevel right and left from 0 to 49 degrees with positive stops at 0, 22.5, 33.9, 45, and 49 degrees in both directions, as well as a high visibility bevel scale. The saw also miters 60 degrees to the right and 50 degrees to the left and features an adjustable stainless steel miter detent plate with 10 positive stops, allowing for fast and easy adjustments. 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. To simplify and maximize vertical cutting capacity, the unit includes a rail lock latch for holding the head away from the fence.

Customers like the quality of the saw. They say it works great for their needs, is functionally very good, and still works perfectly after several months of everyday use. The saw is also described as fantastic, making clean, accurate cuts at all angles. Customers also mention that the dust collection bag works fairly well, but has to be emptied often due to its modest size. Overall, customers are satisfied with the quality and functionality of the product.

"...The sawdust bag works okay but has very limited capacity.The shadow light also works very well...." Read more

Customers are satisfied with the durability of the saw. They mention it's well-made, excellent, and built for heavy-duty projects. The engineering is heavy and superb, and the overall operation and cut quality are the best of any unit they've used. The fence has a durable feel, and a lot of the product is made of solid metal.

Customers are satisfied with the accuracy of the saw. They mention that it makes clean, very accurate cuts at all angles. Some say that the saw is the most accurate they have used. The tool is sturdy and strong, but a bit heavy. It is also very precise and has a great range. The repeatability and accuracy are much better than their old Ryobi 10", and with the DWS780 LED, alignment, and system, it makes it extremely easy to get your cut exactly right.

"...The LED light is wonderful. It is accurate, it doesn't need to be calibrated when you change blades and it provides enough illumination to clearly..." Read more

"...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..." Read more

"...I really like the cut guide, which shines a shadow down the blade to show what's going to be cut out...." Read more

"...The Dewalt 780 is well made and very accurate but also quick to change from cut to cut...." Read more

62 customers mention58 positive4 negative

Customers find the setup of the saw to be easy. They mention that the settings are easy to see and set, even to quarters of a degree. They also say that the saw is easy to bevel, control, and hook up to a shop vac. Customers also say the XPS system is a dream to use and a vast improvement over any other system.

"...are fast and easy, the scales are big so they are easy to see and easy to set, even to quarters of a degree...." Read more

"...Power! Pretty smooth glide. Nice light. Easy to bevel...." Read more

"...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...." Read more

"This saw is worth the money: It's easy to use and very accurate...." Read more

56 customers mention47 positive9 negative

Customers like the value of the saw. They say the crown stops are worth the cost, the XPS light is worth every penny, and it's a decent commercial grade tool that will last a long time.

"...In conclusion: Good saw for the money, smooth and powerful, be careful of "pull up" if you have the grace of a neanderthal , buy a nice full kerf..." Read more

"This saw is worth the money: It's easy to use and very accurate...." Read more

"Best saw in its price point" Read more

"...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)...." Read more

49 customers mention49 positive0 negative

Customers like the lighting of the saw. For example, they say the LED XPS light is awesome, and the lighting mechanism is great. That said, some complain about the aiming light, saying it's a great help. That being said, most are satisfied with the light and the shadow system.

"...doesn't need to be calibrated when you change blades and it provides enough illumination to clearly see my cut mark in a poorly lit room or garage...." Read more

"...Power! Pretty smooth glide. Nice light. Easy to bevel...." Read more

"...The shadow light also works very well. Mine is slightly off (maybe .005) but after using it for a while it's easy to compensate...." Read more

"...I specifically bought this one because of the light that shows the blade very accurately, but the thing they don't tell you is the light doesn't..." Read more

63 customers mention28 positive35 negative

Customers are mixed about the portability of the saw. Some mention that the weight is not too cumbersome for moving from place to place, while others say that it's not very portable. The capacity is great, but it'd be too big for a stationary workstation.

"...I have decided to not carry this saw in my van every day, it takes up too much room and is too heavy to carry, if my trustily old 8 1/2" miter saw..." Read more

"...After that it was ready to go. The fit and finish of everything was good...." Read more

"...The "oh well": The glide rails do stick out the back so it takes up a lot of room on a bench...." Read more

"...The DW708 is a workhorse - heavy and dead-on accurate. I had my eye on the DWS780 primarily because of the improved bevel adjustment...." Read more

37 customers mention11 positive26 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the sliding of the saw. They mention that it doesn't slide as smoothly as some of the competitors, it's rough at first, and the slide is sticky. Some say that the saw has performed well, but the slide action could be smoother.

"...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...." Read more

"...The fit and finish of everything was good. The slides are a little rough at first but seem to wear in over a little bit of time...." Read more

"...Very handy idea. Fence has a durable feel. Excellent Teflon glide for the miter base...." Read more

"...I would like to address some of the complaints. It doesn't slide easily. At first it is very rough when sliding back and forward...." Read more

Great saw, beware the recall
4 Stars
Great saw, beware the recall
I bought the DWS780 miter saw and I have to say I'm very impressed with it. It's a powerful and accurate tool that can handle any cutting job I throw at it. Here are some of the pros and cons of this saw:Pros:- The XPS system is awesome. It projects a bright LED light on the workpiece that shows exactly where the blade will cut. No need for laser guides or manual adjustments.- The sliding rails are smooth and sturdy.- The dust collection system is effective and easy to hook up to a shop vac. It keeps the work area clean and reduces the risk of breathing in sawdust.- The miter and bevel scales are clear and easy to read. The detent plate has a number of positive stops for common angles and the override feature allows for fine-tuning.- The saw is well-built and durable. A lot of the saw is solid metal and it feels secure on my workbench.Cons:- The saw is heavy and bulky and takes up a lot of space. It's not very portable.- The blade that comes with the saw is not very good. Its blade tends to chip and burn the wood. I recommend getting a better quality blade for smoother cuts.Important: This saw underwent a recall. The lower guard needs to be replaced with an alternative version. DeWalt will supply this to you for free. Be sure to check if your manufacturer date falls within the recall. Do not go by the "dot marking" that is supposed to confirm if your saw is okay or not; it does not seem to be accurate. I was not aware of this, and after 2 cuts my saw destroyed several parts. DeWalt sent me replacements for free, but I had to wait about a month to receive everything.Overall, I think the DWS780 is a great miter saw for anyone who needs a reliable and versatile tool for woodworking projects. It has some minor flaws, but nothing that can't be fixed or overlooked. I'm very happy with my purchase and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a high-end miter saw.
