The DeWALT DCS785B is a cordless 12-inch double bevel sliding compound miter saw. It makes crosscuts, miters and bevels in baseboard, crown, casing and framing stock. It is sold as a bare tool, without a battery or charger.
It cuts up to 14" horizontally, 6-1/2" baseboard standing up against the fence, and 6-1/2" crown nested. The 12" blade spins at up to 3,800 RPM. Regenerative braking recaptures energy when the blade stops, and a bevel gear transmission limits power loss between the motor and blade. With a DCB2108 8Ah battery, it makes up to 371 cuts in 3-1/4" MDF base molding or up to 153 cuts in pressure-treated 4x4 timber per charge. An 8Ah or larger pack is recommended for best performance.
The CUTLINE blade positioning system uses an LED to cast the blade's shadow on the workpiece, so the cut line needs no laser adjustment. Bevel pawls set 22.5 degree and 33.9 degree bevels quickly, and crown bevel stops speed up cutting crown lying flat. Tall adjustable fences support wide base and crown. Built-in WIRELESS TOOL CONTROL starts a compatible DeWALT vacuum when you pull the trigger. With a compatible DeWALT extractor, the saw captures up to 97% of dust.
