About This Product

The DEWALT 15 Amp 14 in. (355 mm) Multi-Cutter Saw is a dry cutting saw that uses a carbide-tipped blade specifically designed for cutting heavy-duty metals. Featuring enough capacity to cut everything from 5 in. black pipe to 2-9/16 in. solid bar stock, this saw is also ideal for cutting threaded rod, struts, angle iron and rebar. Delivering exceptional speed and superior finished surfaces, there is little need for touchup, so grinding and filling times are reduced. The carbide-tipped blade averages more than 1200 cuts in most applications and with sharpening, you can get up to 5000 cuts. With a powerful 15 Amp, 4.0 hp motor, this saw is designed to stand up to rugged work on a regular basis, making it ideal for jobsite use.

Highlights

  • Cuts a wide variety of materials including ferrous and non-ferrous metals
  • Carbide tipped blade allows the depth of cut to remain constant throughout blade life
  • Cuts 4-times faster than chop saws and 8-times faster than portable band saws in 2 in. x 2 in. x 1/4 in. angle iron
  • 14 in. 70-tooth carbide tipped blade delivers a lower cost-per-cut compared to cutting with abrasive wheels
  • Specially designed carbide teeth deliver fast, precise, virtually burr-free cuts, reducing the need for preparation grinding
  • Largest capacity in its class with even more capacity than a deep-cut portable band saw (5-3/16 in. round & 4-1/2 in. x 6-1/2 in. rectangular), allowing user to cut a wider variety of material sizes for more applications
  • Ergonomically designed horizontal handle for user comfort and less fatigue
  • 15 Amp, 4 HP motor provides more overload capacity for increased performance and durability
  • Patented Quick-Fence tool-free, 45° adjustable fence allows for fast and accurate angle cuts without using a wrench
  • Quick-Lock vise allows for fast clamping on different material sizes for increased productivity
  • Extra-wide solid steel base provides increased stability when cutting longer material; the 4 pre-drilled holes in the base allow easy bolt down to any work bench; the solid steel base also allows user to weld jigs or stops directly to the base
  • Durable metal top handle for easy portability
  • Heavy-duty lock down pin allows the head of the saw to be locked in the carrying position without the use of a chain
  • On-board wheel change wrench allows for convenient storage and reduces the risk of lost wrenches
  • Spindle lock allows user to make wheel changes quickly and easily for less downtime
  • Includes: 15 Amp 14 in. (355 mm) Multi-Cutter Saw, 14 in. Carbide Tipped Blade, Wrench and Vertical Clamp
  • 90-day money back guarantee; 1-year free service contract; 3-year limited warranty

Questions & Answers

What gauge metal studs will this saw cut
ByFeb 24, 2026
2 Answers | 
Answer This Question

The DeWalt DW872 15 Amp 14 in. Multi-Cutter Saw is designed to cut a wide variety of metals, including steel, so it can easily cut common metal studs such as the standard 16 gauge and lighter. For very thick or specialty heavy-gauge studs, always check the saw's capacity, its specs indicate up to 1/4-inch (about 6 gauge) mild steel.

By|Feb 26, 2026

    The cutting ability depends on the blade of choice, not the saw. The saw limits the overall size of material but not the material thickness.

      Will this machine cut gutter guard material made from aluminum and stainless steel screen material? Or will it tear the screen material apart?

      Yes, the Multi-Cutter Saw is designed to cut both ferrous and non-ferrous metals, which includes aluminum and stainless steel.

        I know this is late but it will yank that type of material you need either an abrasive blade on a cut off tool like the DCS438B or even a grinder

                  How well does it cut Stainless steel?
                  ByOct 9, 2024
                  1 Answer | 
                  Answer This Question

                  When it comes to cutting stainless steel, it does a decent job, especially on thinner materials. However, for thicker or harder grades of stainless steel, you might need to take it slower to maintain blade life and achieve a cleaner cut.

                        Base is light weight, and not true (level). The back stop is cast, but also not true. Holding piece of metal against it, you can see a tiny amount of space behind it. The angle adjustment is a joke. Hope you have time to check with angle finder everything you move it. The little dial you set is adjustable, but no fine point on it to determine what exactly angle you have. And the " no" tool angle adjustment, is ok, but will not hold in place unless you are extremely careful placing metal in saw. The ONLY thing great about saw is the blade and motor. It will slice right through metal. So if you can deal with the other set up headache, it will cut what you put under it. If you just a weekend warrior, this saw is doable, but not for anyone wanting exact cuts over and over without stopping to check set up.

                          Great motor, good blade, poor table.
                          I purchased this saw almost two years ago, it replaced my dewalt abrasive chop saw. For me it’s the better tool for the job. My only issue with the tool pertains to the table quality. The table is press formed stamped mild steel with raised and recessed channels. My table has become dented and bowed. Maybe the table should be milled cast steel. The work to be cut no longer sits flat. The angle fence is ok. The measurement scale is ok, must use a square to tram the fence to blade good practice anyways. It just so happens that the table is such an issue someone has made an upgraded unit. Saunders Machine Works has part of the solution it’s not perfect but it’s a start.

                            This saw cuts so much better than my abrasive saw. It cuts faster and there is little to no burr edge on the workpiece so the time savings is considerable. There is little heat build-up so the pieces can be picked up immediately with no fear of getting burned. I have made hundreds of cuts with it while building a metal fence and the blade is still cutting very well. I wish that I had bought one of these years ago.

                            Cuts well, however the base is a complete piece of junk. Have to re square after each cut. What rubbish

                              the fence was warped, and the vice didnt seem to be able to engage as expected. Since I was not comfortable with the way the piece was held in the saw, I did not attempt a cut. Perhaps this was a one off fluke?

                              Very good cutting saw. Angle adjustment is not very accurate. Have to set with a square every time. It is sturdy and secure though once it is set. I would absolutely buy it again

                              I have only made one project with it, about 50 cuts. It seems to be a great saw that does what it's designed to do. I would recommend it.
