Overview
Not a sliding miter saw, the DEWALT twelve inch saw chops straight down and bevels both left and right without flipping the work. Tall sliding fences hold crown and base molding upright, and an LED casts the blade shadow onto the cut line.
Trim carpenters get double bevel convenience and a stainless detent plate that returns to common angles. Without a sliding rail, crosscut width is limited, and the listing confuses the motor speed and battery details.
Who it's for
Finish carpenters and remodelers cutting molding will use the tall fences and double bevel daily. Those cutting wide panels or deck boards should look at a sliding miter saw.
Pros and cons
- Bevels both directions
- Stainless detent plate with many stops
- Tall fences for crown and base
- LED shadow cut line
- No sliding rail for wide boards
- Motor speed listed two ways
- Heavy to carry
Performance notes
Cut accuracy depends on the detent plate and cam lock holding the miter angle, and the shadow line shows exactly where the blade will fall. Crosscut width is set by the blade diameter since the head does not slide. The dust duct governs how much sawdust reaches the bag.
