20-Volt MAX Cordless 7-1/4 in. Sliding Miter Saw with (1) 20-Volt Battery 4.0Ah

Used this right out of the box,also purchased the stand with it for portable use. Like the fact that I do not have to stretch out extension cords

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using DeWalt tools for over 20 years and this is one of my all-time favorites. I have a 12 inch powered saw on a stand, but often I need to just make a few small cuts and you can’t beat the convenience of this tool. This tool is always set up and ready to use. It makes very precise cuts and run for a long time on a single charge.

Works great, very light, ......A++++++

I recently purchased this saw from a big box store. I really needed something for the small stuff that I just really don’t feel like taking out my Festool Kapax on my best fence stand, because this stand is a beast. I also should note that I have a vast verity of Makita 18v tools but found that the cost of their similar saw was just outrageous for a small battery powered saw. With that I set my eyes on this little guy and the Milwaukee that is similar. I settled on this saw because first its the best in class price, and two well its the best in class price. I just really don’t feel like the investment for a small saw, that I wont be using full time should be outrageous. Upon opening the box the saw is fully assembled and comes with a table hold down, dust bag, charger and 4.0ah battery. I was happy it also came with a 40 tooth blade The saw came with a 2 bar charge so I let it charge full and then took it out and a small cabinet job and gave er a go. I have many guys as well as friends that use the 12’’ Dewalt saws and I have to admit tho my Festool is far superior I’m totally jealous of the shadow line. Lasers suck and the shadow line just works incredibly well. Very cool feature. I took a piece of red oak hardwood flooring and did some test cuts. The first cut I was impressed, the blade did spin fast enough and didn’t burn the wood, it also had no issue going thru the dense oak. Then cuts both ways on a 45, good cuts and perfect 45. Now the bevel......This saw only bevels one way. I don’t find this a issue at all but may be a issue for a novice that cant cut backwards and upside down. When I cut the oak on a 45 bevel the saw didn’t cut square so I tried again with a plung cut and then again with the bevel slide, same result every time. I guess it could be possible I got a bad saw, but I don’t think so. One of my crews has this same saw and I will try the same thing on it, somewhere down the line. I don’t plan on using this saw for much, toe kicks, scribe, and I even ran a little quarter round with it today. Overall Ithink this saw will become a staple in my arsenal of tools. The convenience factor is absolutely worth the small investment. I even think I’ll be buying a few more for my other trucks. Over all great saw, has plenty of power for small jobs. I just wish it would cut square on a bevel.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this portable lightweight mitersaw because of its battery operated feature. Most of the job sites I work on are in condo buildings and this lightweight beast is no problem hauling up 3 flights of stairs. I can’t recall one time I had to change a battery on the job site when it was initially fully charged. Awesome purchase and one of many I have made with Dewalt!

Light, Perfect for small trim with a quicker set up time than larger saws... easy to use, Had it only a week!

Perfect saw for the job of building cabinets

The miter saw was a breeze to put together. (mainly as it comes assembled) It makes swift work of moulding. I recently used to build replacement panels for a screen porch, where the railing is dry rotted. Using pressure treated lumber, it made clean cuts (sometimes 1/8") at a 45 degree bevel. (blade isn't tall enough to miter the 2x4 standing up) The one thing I did notice is that the stops aren't set at the correct angles, so you will need to use a 1/2" socket to make adjustments to get the 0 and 45 stop correct. Battery life was very good considering the work. There were a few times when cutting through still wet lumber that it took a little extra time on the bevel. Straight cuts are no problem at all, and I can see using this for several other projects around the house. Although the deluxe stand will run $199, if you're going it alone, it is well worth the investment, and comes with everything needed to mount the miter. Now if only there was a battery powered sander...but I have found an attachment to hook the sanding pads to the DeWalt drill. We'll see how that one comes out.

I had my doubt about this saw,the price being on the high end and all. Once I bought this saw ,I put it through the ringer . I ran the saw on 760 square foot of 8inch laminate flooring , 325 linear ft. of base board an quarter round , along with some framing .. With any tool you just have to get comfortable with it , I adapted to this one quickly .... definitely worth the purchase....

This is a very versatile, portable, cordless sliding miter saw. The saw operates on a 20 volt battery and comes with a 4.0 Amp hour battery and charger capable of fully charging the battery in less than an hour. The battery can power any of the Dewalt 20 volt lineup of tools. The saw comes equipped with a 7 1/2 inch carbide tipped blade. It is a sliding compound miter saw, and the sliding ability of the saw is key to providing big saw performance. Cut capacity is about 8 inch straight and 5 ½ inches at 45 degree, the same capacity as I get with my corded 12” Dewalt miter saw. Being battery operated and weighing about 35 pounds makes it very portable and good for outdoor work, as you don’t need to have a nearby power source. Run time is good (rated to make over 100 straight 2 x 4 cuts on a single charge), and with an extra batter pack you can work all day without issue. Saw produces a very clean cut and handles cutting hard wood with little difficulty. I didn’t notice any undue stress on the saw when cutting oak, which I did expect to a degree as its battery powered, but to my surprise, power didn’t seem to be a problem. The table is of ample size and heft. Saw angle easily adjust left to right and clicks into place at the standard locations. To change to compound miter you need to release a lever in the back. Gauge for both angle and miter are easy to read. Blade guard worked flawlessly. Unit comes with a work hold down
