I’ve been watching this miter saw for a while, flip-flopping over whether my workshop is destined to have one as a permanent fixture. I’m still actively working on reviews of other miter saws, but I think there’s a high likelihood that this is the one I’ll get. (That’s how I saw the price drop; my shopping cart alerted me to the lower price when I checked it as part of my morning routine.)
Its current price of $269 is lower than it has been, although it’s not quite as low as its winter holiday shopping season price of $249. It’s uncertain as to whether we’ll see the same Black Friday pricing for Father’s Day. I don’t think we will, and that $269 is the best price we’ll see on the saw right now, but there’s no guarantee of my being right or wrong.
The version of this saw without the XPS light, DW716, is currently $10 more. The popular value-priced DWS779 is currently $355 at Amazon, and the flagship model DWS780 is $499.
Price: $269 (as of the time of this posting)
