DeWalt DWS780 Information The DeWalt DWS780 is a 12-inch double bevel sliding compound miter saw with a powerful 15-amp motor and a variety of features that make it ideal for professional and serious DIY use. It has a large XPS (Cross-Cut Positioning System) laser that projects a bright, accurate cut line on the workpiece, even when cutting dark or painted materials. The laser can be adjusted for accuracy and turned on or off as needed. The DWS780 also has a large, bevel-adjustable fence that provides support for long and wide workpieces. The fence can be adjusted to 45 degrees left or right, and it has a positive stop at 0 degrees. The saw also has a built-in miter gauge with positive stops at 0, 15, 22.5, 30, 45, and 60 degrees left and right. The DWS780's sliding base allows it to make cuts up to 12 inches wide at 90 degrees and 6 inches wide at 45 degrees. The base is also equipped with a material support system that helps to keep long workpieces stable during cutting.
