The DeWalt DW872 is a 14-inch dry-cut multi-cutter saw built to slice ferrous and non-ferrous metal with a 70-tooth carbide-tipped blade instead of an abrasive wheel. It cuts 2x2x1/4-inch angle iron about four times faster than a chop saw and eight times faster than a portable band saw, and its 5-3/16-inch round and 4-1/2x6-1/2-inch rectangular capacity beats a deep-cut portable band saw. Cuts come out cool and nearly burr-free, so there is little grinding afterward. It suits fabricators and shop users who cut metal daily and want speed and clean edges; the trade-offs are a heavy machine, a high initial outlay for the blade, and a mixed reception on the ratings.

The DeWalt DW872 is a heavy-duty 14-inch multi-cutter saw for cutting a wide variety of materials, including ferrous and non-ferrous metals. It uses a 14-inch, 70-tooth carbide-tipped blade, so the depth of cut stays constant throughout the life of the blade.
The carbide teeth make fast, precise, virtually burr-free cuts. This reduces the need for preparation grinding, and the finished cuts are cool to the touch. The blade also gives a lower cost-per-cut than abrasive wheels. In 2" x 2" x 1/4" angle iron, it cuts 4 times faster than chop saws and 8 times faster than portable band saws.
The saw has the largest capacity in its class, more than a deep-cut portable band saw. A horizontal handle is designed to put the wrist in a more comfortable position to help reduce fatigue. A quick-lock vise and a spindle lock are included in the design.
