What Redditors Say
Best praise vs top criticism for DeWalt DWS780
Best Praise
+4 pts“My experience is 90% of people don’t need a 12”. I remodel and do a lot of trim. I could get away with a 10 most of the time. I use a corded dewalt 780. Personally I don’t want a battery miter saw because my corded one will outlast the current battery configuration. Meaning at some point the batteries will change and your saw will become obsolete whether they work or not. Also, corded is cheaper than cordless.”
