The DeWalt DCS361B is a cordless 7-1/4-inch sliding miter saw that runs on DeWalt's 20V MAX battery platform. It cuts 2x8 lumber flat, handles 3-1/2-inch baseboard against the fence and 3-5/8-inch nested crown, and weighs about 30 pounds, so one person can carry it to a job and set it up without an outlet. The XPS cross-cut system throws a shadow line on the cut for alignment without a laser to adjust. It suits trim carpenters, remodelers and DIYers who work in finished rooms or outdoors where a cord is a hassle. Against corded 10- and 12-inch sliders it gives up depth of cut and raw power, and it needs a charged 5Ah pack to finish a run of trim.

Owners of the DCS361B generally rate it highly as a portable trim saw. They like the light weight, the accurate XPS cut line and the fact that it runs on batteries they already own. The common complaints are limited capacity on thicker stock and battery drain during long cutting sessions.
This is a cordless 7-1/4" miter saw from DeWalt's 20V MAX line, sold with a DCB205-2C 20V MAX 5Ah battery kit. It has a carbide blade and runs at a no-load speed of 3750 rpm.
The XPS cross cut positioning system gives an adjustment-free cut line indication for better accuracy and visibility. An adjustable stainless steel miter detent plate has 11 positive stops. A cam lock miter handle sets miter angles quickly, and an oversized bevel scale makes bevel adjustments easier to read. The miter system is precise, and the base fence is machined for support.
The saw cuts up to 3-5/8" nested crown molding vertically and 3-1/2" baseboard against the fence. It also cuts 2x8 lumber laid flat. At 30 lbs, it is compact and lightweight enough for easy transport and storage.
