The DeWalt DWS779 is a 12-inch dual bevel sliding compound miter saw built for precision crosscuts, miters, and bevels on jobsites and in workshops. This corded power tool combines a powerful 15-amp, 3,800 rpm motor with a sliding fence system that expands your cutting capacity for dimensional lumber, crown molding, and trim work. Whether you need accurate repeatable angles or the ability to handle larger stock, the DWS779 delivers the speed and accuracy that professionals and serious DIYers demand.
The dual bevel sliding design lets you tilt the blade left and right for angled cuts without repositioning your workpiece. Tall sliding fences support crosscutting up to 2×14 dimensional lumber at 90 degrees and 2×10 at 45 degrees, giving you flexibility for varied projects. The saw’s compact footprint and dual horizontal steel rails with linear ball bearings ensure durable, repeatable cuts over time.

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.Some examples of these chemicals are: lead from lead-based paints, crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber. Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov
