Thank you! I bought the DWS780 a few months ago.

Thanks for this, I’m looking to buy a miter saw and will keep this in mind.
As a carpenter any thoughts on a good saw for siding?

I’m a Milwaukee M18 guy at this point but damn it’s expensive.

This is a big one but I like using it.

My Son bought it for remodeling his house. I really like the LED light compared to a red laser for the blade.
The LED light shows the actual shadow of the blade which helps when your cutting on one side or the other of a mark.
