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 dewalt Hand tools 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.
The aluminum throat plate replaces the plastic throat plate on your miter saw and features replaceable inserts that can be easily swapped out whenever you change blades. The saw features LED lighting and a cut alignment system that casts a laser-like shadow on the work surface, showing users where the blade will come in contact with material. Since it does not require recalibration over time or when changing blades, the alignment system can be more accurate and durable than traditional laser guides, according to Boie. Think about the various types of DIY projects you’re working on that need pure accuracy.
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 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.
The batteries were plugged in during lunch break to give them an additional 30 minutes of charge time, but I’m not even sure that was needed. The saw has plenty of power for cutting framing materials including engineered lumber, even when running in the cordless mode. What stands out most about this miter saw is how well it performs in both cordless and corded modes. There is no noticeable difference in performance from one mode to the other, and the saw performs just as we’d expect from experience using our other 12″ DEWALT miter saws over the years.
