The DEWALT DCS785WW1 20V MAX XR 12-inch Double Bevel Sliding Miter Saw is the largest cut capacity cordless miter saw in the 20V MAX lineup. It's powered by the full range of DEWALT 20V MAX and FLEXVOLT batteries (sold separately), and features regenerative braking technology that helps maximize runtime and efficiency.
DEWALT DCS785WW1 Miter Saw Calibration and Alignment
To keep your cuts accurate, check the blade alignment and bevel stops periodically. Use a combination square to verify the blade is perpendicular to the table. Adjust the bevel stop screws if you notice any drift. The cutline blade positioning system gives you adjustment-free line indication, so you can align your workpiece quickly.
Cut Capacity and Power
This saw cuts up to 14 inches horizontally, 6-1/2 inches of baseboard standing upright, and 6-1/2 inches of nested crown. The bevel gear transmission minimizes power loss, delivering up to 371 cuts in 3-1/4 inch MDF base molding on a single charge. Dust collection captures up to 97% of debris.
The integrated wireless tool control starts a connected vacuum when you pull the trigger, and the included dust bag and vacuum adapter help keep the worksite cleaner. At just 51.7 pounds, this saw is easy to move with its carry handles.

Great for our crew
I bought this for our remodeling crew and it hasn't disappointed. It's cordless so we can take it anywhere. The 12 inch blade cuts through thick trim easily. The dust collection is really effective, minimal cleanup. I love the double bevel for crown molding. It's a bit heavy but well worth it.

DIY dream
I'm a DIYer and this saw is a dream. It slides smoothly and the angle lock is easy to use. I only wish the charger was faster.
