Over at Home Depot, today’s deal of the day is this Dewalt DWS709 12″ dual bevel sliding compound miter saw. As I mentioned in our Black Friday 2015 miter saw deals post, this seems to be the DWS782 replacement saw.
This saw looks to be heavily based on the DWS780 sliding miter saw we reviewed, but with 2 main differences: no LED shadow-lighting guidance system, and lower cutting capacity.
The Dewalt DWS709 miter saw has a maximum cutting capacity of 2″ x 14″ at 90°, and 2″ x 10″ at 45°, while the DWS780 can handle 2″ x 16″ at 90° and 2″ x 12″ at 45°.
While not a flagship model, the DWS709 is typically a great value, at $399. It’s on sale today for $339.
If you were looking to buy a 12″ sliding miter saw, and you don’t need the best of the best, this one’s a great choice. And as a reminder, it’s a dual bevel model.
I don’t think I would consider this a budget model, it’s more of a reasonably capable but not top-dollar saw.
It’s heavily marketed during holiday seasons, so there are plenty of user reviews by now. Most are positive, with the negative ones being outliers.
