Questions & Answers
Can you plug into 120v if needed
No, the DCS781B is cordless. It will only run off of the 60V batteries.
Does this specific saw come with Dewalt XPS system
Yes, it does. DeWalt changed the name to Cutline but is the same as the XPS positioning system.
No, the DeWalt DCS781B miter saw does not include the XPS system. Thank you for your question.
Does this all have a spot for the adapter that will plug in a battery or cord?
Yes, the DCS781B has a spot for a battery adapter (FLEXVOLT platform) but does not have a corded adapter slot .
Home Depot says this saw weights 70 lbs, but the DEWALT website says it weights 51 lbs. Which is correct?
The approximate weight is 51 LBS.
Does this have an adjusting RPM switch? To lower rpm for a metal cutting blade?
The Dewalt model number DCS781B does not have an RPM switch to adjust the speed for a metal cutting blade. It operates at a no-load speed of 3800 RPM and is designed for professional applications with a 60V MAX* battery system
Is the 120v max model no longer in production? I guess il have to spend my money on a different brand miter saw that offer cordless and corded combo
Yes, the 120V Max Miter Saw has been discontinued
There is a plug-in adapter that slides on to the battery mount. You can use this saw with a battery or with the 120 battery adapter.
Can you add wireless tool connect like the video above shows? It is the European 54v saw in the video which has it to connect to 60v/54v dust extractor you sell. Why Europe gets that feature but us in the US does not is stupid. Can this feature be added
We have documented your comments and sent them to our product team for review and future consideration. It is feedback like yours that allows us to make improvements.
Is there an option to plug into 110v power? I remember the earlier models had an adapter.
No, the DCS781B is only operable when using a FLEXVOLT battery.
