what does the 3 year warranty include

Asked by: Buda
Covers all parts and labour except blade or damage caused from misuse. Doesn't cover shipping, however there should be an authorized dealer near you where you can drop it off and pick it up.

What blade comes with the DWS780, is it a 12" 32T or a 12" 80T

Asked by: steve_1021
It came with 12" 60T blade. I'll be glad to get 80T as upgrade/bonus!!!

Does it come with the stand?

Asked by: JakeT
Usually no.  But if you wait for the right sale it can, I got my stand for free with it but it was a special sale.

Can this saw, in one cut, a 6"x6" or a 8"x8" post?

Asked by: mcpat2
No unfortunately the most you'll be able to cut with a 12 in mitre saw is going to be bout 5.5 inches due to the washer getting rid of a lot of cutting space. A 6x6 is truly 5.75inx5.75in so it will not cut it in one pass but it will cut 95% of it then you can either flip it or cut the last little bit with a hand saw.

Dewalt Compound Miter Saw 12-in Double Bevel 15-amp Motor is rated 4.6 out of 5 by 154.
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Good saw for do it yourself and pros I use this saw everyday and love the auto tilt bevel locks and cuts perfect. I do wish the saw dust system wasn't a mile long tube to the bag. Clogs up right away. The fence slides are hard to slide out and have to get hit with my hammer to extend them. I would like to see dewalt set up a different slide system, with the bag on the back I hack to have over 3to4 feet from a wall so my saw has clearance makes cutting in hallways on big jobs impossible. I would also like the saw to have a little more rpm saw bogs down on cuts and causes the blade to warp in my cuts also. I also would like a laser and tape measure marks on the saw fence or even on the platform for fast cuts. Great saw but could be better.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome saw, awesome price Ordered mine online, had $200 off of price plus an online order discount, paid a little over $500, quite happy with that price. VERY IMPORTANT SOLVED ISSUE, RAIL RESISTANCE the biggest thing I had an issue with was when I first took it out of the package to test it, the saw had a lot of resistance moving on the rails, I read through the manual and looked all over to find what was causing it to bind with no luck, I was contemplating having to send it back thinking "this is why it was so cheap", luckily I kept reading for a solution and I did find out that there is a tiny little Allen key set-screw behind (almost under) the tension knob, once I adjusted that it glided without resistance, I was glad that I didn't have to return it, such a sturdy versatile saw. Note: use a 5/32 allen key to adjust it cheers!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect! Picked up this saw yesterday to replace my 12 year old 718 that had a motor seizure. Dewalt made a great saw even better. First is the weight. 14lbs lighter is a huge improvement on the job site for the 50+ guys. The other great improvement is the additional miter angles now 50/60. Many more small features that I may or may not use but Dewalt clearly was listening to contractors while redesigning this saw.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from big saw The saw works great, accurate cuts, everything was aligned out of the box. The saw is big, probably not a problem at a job site or large shop. For a small shop it takes up a lot of counter space. After attaching the dust collection it is 44" from the back to the front. I have a 34" bench for it and I'm going to need to widen the bench. And it will still hang over the bench at least 8" to 10". Lastly the dust collection is minimally effective. There are flaps near the saw blade that collapse if the shop vac is too powerful. I would only recommend this saw for someone working at a job site or with a large shop.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great Saw! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Dewalt DWS780 Miter Saw is a great buy for anyone wanting a powerful and reliable saw for the job site. I am a contractor and have used many miter saws, this is my favorite. The dual bevel functionality with the large fence makes for quickly handeling complicated cuts on crown and othe moldings. The fence does need to been extended out to the maximum outer setting for 45 bevel cuts. The saw weighs about 50lbs making for use with a rolling stand preferable if you plan to take it to and from jobsites. Would have rated 4.5, but couldnt. Weight and the fence adjust are only downside.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Very Dissapointed with DeWalt I bought this saw this past weekend. July 27 2019. The stand came with the saw. Great price so I got it. I had been saving up for this saw quite a long time. Wish I had bought something else. First like others that have written reviews I had on of the same issues. One of the most common was the blade dragging. The blade scored the black plastic under the kerf line. And this was prior to turning on the saw. I wanted to be proactive if this had the same issue. So then the stand had a broken quick release. (DWX723) Now I'm getting a little upset. Then finally I cut a piece of wood. What a joke.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from This makes my third one [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using this same saw for over 18 years. I’ve bought a bunch of other brands and a few have been ok but this saw has always been trustworthy and reliable. Several other brands have broken on the job or wear out to the point they won’t cut true any more no matter what you do. This model saw and the previous that are all very close to this same saw can be counted on to get the job done and that’s why I am writing this review. Maybe it will help someone that is trying to decide or isn’t sure about the quality of the DeWalt 12” sliding miter saw. Rest assured it is a safe bet.
