Dewalt Miter Saw Review
This means that if your saw blade can only cut left angles, but you need right angles, you’ll have to flip the wood over to get the right angle. This can be a hassle, especially when you’re trying to get the job done quickly. If you don’t need to cut angles or corners and you’ll be primarily using your miter saw for straight cuts, you’ll want to use a single bevel miter saw. The best single bevel Dewalt miter saw is the Dewalt 12-Inch Miter Saw. This miter saw uses a 15-amp motor that generates enough power for up to 4,000 RPMs which is more powerful than your typical power saw.
There aren’t any extension wings integrated into the saw, so you may want to mount it on a stand that includes them or to your workbench. To set the tilting positioning, slide the stopping pin attached to the miter saw. Push the pin and set the tilting angle to the desired point. dewalt toolss also have angle lock like most of the common units in the market. You can find out the lock on the front side of the miter saw.

None of the other power tools on site are tripping the breakers. We’ve got compressors, table saws, and even other miter saws running with zero problems. It’s actually tripping the dual function AFCI/GFCI breakers, and we’re not even plugged into that circuit. No more Dewalt tools for both my personal use or my commercial construction company!
If you’re looking for a lightweight miter saw within the corded class that won’t break the budget – the DWS715 should be on top of your list. You’ll have up to 16” of space to cut using the specialized setup, with a 90° cross-cut capacity of 14”. The DWS780 features a miter ability of 60° to the right, and 60° to the left, giving you the promise to cut pieces sized at 4 x 8 in both width and height. Another big consideration for these stands is how heavy they are.
This is one large saw and as such weighs in at 56 lbs. Power comes from it’s 15 amp motor with a no load speed of 4,100. The saw comes with a large carry handle above the trigger and two hand grips on either side of the base and Hercules has what they call a precision blade guide system.
On the other hand, you can take your cordless miter saw almost anywhere so long as the battery is charged. The right pick is a matter of preference and the type of work you’ll be doing. Contractors may prefer a dewalt Hand tools corded model since they don’t have to worry about battery drain, but this can be overcome by keeping more than one battery on hand for big jobs. Miter saws, in general, are a fantastic addition to workshops.
I made a couple more cuts for fun and tested out the mitering and beveling features. The miter markings are etched into the base and very easy to see. Both bevel and miter measurements are indicated with a plastic red marker. The safety switch is integrated into the trigger and I really like the design.
