Best Saw!!!
Rating: 5
This saw is the best battery operated in the market. Light is a big plus. Very good access to take any where to make cuts and u can't tell the difference from a battery or extension and u still have that option. Very good saw the best only difference I Felt Was I put in the extension adapter to the saw It make a wired sound. I do recommend get the 9 Hours battery's. I do finish carpentry So the 9Hours are just enough to end your day.

Excellent saw!
Rating: 5
I purchased this saw 2 years ago and it was a great decision. As a trim carpenter, a miter saw is an essential part of my tool arsonal. It has great run time on the batteries, is very accurate, and has a low learning curve. I highly recommended! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Connecting the DHS790 exhaust port to Rigid vacuum
Rating: 5
Purchased a RIGID 6.5 gallon wet dry vacuum to connect to the 1 1/2 inch exhaust port on my DeWalt DHS790. However, the three piece DeWalt vacuum accesory adapter kit had NOTHING to connect my RIGID 1 1/2 inch hose end to the DHS790. FIX was at Home Depot, a "Fernco" 1 1/4 inch x 1 1/4 inch Flexible PVC Coupling with metal screw couplers at each end of the rubber coupler. Remove one metal coupler and discard, lossen the other metal coupler and slide that end fully onto the exhaust port then tighten the metal coupler. Half of the rubber coupling accepts the 1 1/2 inch end of the hose from the RIGID Vacuum. In addition, the rubber coupling also accepts the accesory kit adapter from 1 1/2 inch to 2 inch vacuum horses.

The best saw is now corded and cordless!
Rating: 5
There is nothing this saw can't do. The sight line speeds up cuts, I don't even mark my boards any more. Just drop the tape measure on it, line the shadow of the blade up and cut. I love this saw. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Great Saw, Improve Dust Collection!
Rating: 4
Amazing saw, does everything you want with ease on the jobsite. I especially appreciate the corded option. Can't give it 5 stars since it can't be set up to even a simple shop vac for dust collection. The suction causes the dust port to collapse when you do so. Other than that, great!

I have had my Dewalt Compound Miter saw for about 5 years. It is the most important wood working tool that I own. (Other than my Dewalt reciprocating saw that is a life saver for taking apart pallets. But that is another review.) I depend on it, and it has never let me down.

Quality Product !

I decided to built a work bench using 2x4 and 2x6's. Using this DeWalt Miter saw gave me quick precise cuts, plenty of power to make smooth quick cuts. Having the all the quality features at your finger tips to make any adjustment's when needed. Handel grip is ergonomically designed for the larger projects, The overall design and attention to detail the designers used in making this Miter Saw really helps to make a your job a bit more safer and easier to use.

Love this saw!
Rating: 5
I was able to pick one of these after using a beveled miter chop saw for a while. The slide was something I was really looking forward to, plus it was an upgrade from a 10". I hadn't done the research on it, a sale opportunity popped up and a friend told me about it I had him pick it up for me and I was amazed once I finally got it set up at home. The lighted cut feature in place of a laser is incredible! I couldn't believe how much quieter it was, how smoothly it cut, how accurate the lighting "laser" thing is (cant remember what its called at the moment). All the bells and whistles really make this an amazing tool. Setting depth on the slide for repeatable cuts, just everything about this saw is great. I actually get giddy using the the thing, I enjoy it that much! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Great Sliding Miter saw.
Rating: 5
I purchased this saw for my home remodeling. I recently opened up my enclosed stair case to our second floor. This saw was instrumental in building handrails and spindles. The miters are accurate and the cuts are clean. This is one of the best tools I ever purchased. I also added the folding/rolling stand. What a great addition. It makes the saw compact and easy to store. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Durable and accurate
Rating: 5
I am a high-end custom home builder. This means I need excellent tools that can deliver consistent top-notch performance while holding up to the repeated abuse of moving from job to job. The DeWalt 12” sliding compound miter saw is the only one I use. I've had the same one for years and don't plan on getting a new one any time soon. It takes a beating and still delivers clean, accurate cuts. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
