DEWALT FLEXVOLT 120V MAX* Miter Saw, 12-Inch, Double Bevel, Compound, Sliding, Tool/Adapter Only (DHS790AB)

My husband and I are seniors in our early 70's. We have many battery powered DeWalt tools including drills, sawzall, chain saw, skill saw, lawn mower, etc. Over the years we have learned, sometimes the hard way, to buy only DeWalt power tools because they are well made and dependable. We still have a few corded ones but they seem to just sit on the shelf as the battery powered tools are so much easier to use. No need to have outlets nearby or even electric power!Our latest purchase is the 12" mitre saw. We recently bought mountain top property and are adding a large deck to the travel trailer we have permanently parked there. The new saw is making the job so much easier. We do not have electricity there and are putting all of our battery tools to good use.By the way, my husband has Parkinson's and I have Osteo Arthritis (mostly in my hands). We have not let these problems stop us from fulfilling our dreams.

Awesome saw. Build quality is excellent and attention to detail with all the little things makes all the difference. When it comes to durability, efficiency and consistency investing a little more money into a quality tool pays off big in the long run. All the capabilities of this saw make it a pleasure to use, one of the greatest is the ability to switch between corded and cordless. Also the functionality of the operation of the saw make it very predictable and comfortable to use. One small detail that also makes this saw fun to use is the light that is casted on the work surface which lights the area sufficiently but also registers a very accurate cut line. Defiantly recommend this saw if your looking for a miter saw.

Don not buy this saw!!! I purchased this dewalt saw on October 30 2018 here on amazon. Less then 2 years later one day i pull the trigger and POOF! Smoke and sparks out of the brushless motor. Ok, no big deal. Ill take to the authorized service center and I’m sure they will fix it under warranty. After all it was less then 2 years old. Nope! I was told the cost to replace the parts is more then %50 the cost of the tool!!! So its my problem I’m told. Then i call dewalt direct. Same thing! No customer service at all for such an expensive tool to go bad with normal use in a 23 month period. Go with another brand. I know i am. After 25 years buying dewalt tools I’m done. I basically feel like i was robbed. Even if you buy a warranty still two years of moderate use is unacceptable. Dewalt just lost a customer. Horrible customer service!!

This tool was my first taste of the flexvolt platform. I had been given a bunch of flexvolt batteries so I opted to purchase the tool only model. I was amazed at the power this saw has while running on just batteries. Because of this tool i have heavily invested in the flexvolt line. The runtime on this saw is also impressive. I usually put both batteries on charge while we eat lunch, with that strategy a set of batteries easily lasts us a full day. When power is available the included adapter easily installs on the tool and gives never ending power. Honestly though, this saw is so powerful on just battery we rarely use the adapter, even when power is available. I highly recommend.

I’m in the construction business and this saw holds up to commercial usage. Without a doubt, the best miter saw I’ve ever used. Battery lasts longer than I ever expected. I would recommend buying the stand with the saw as it makes the package complete. You will not be disappointed. I don’t think I could live without the cordless functionality anymore. It’s a real job changer.

Love it! I have a workshop I built in the garage. Sometimes I do projects in the basement and it's fantastic to take and use cordless by the walkout basement. Very good cut quality. I had a Harbor Freight model before and used it for years. This is much better than the harbor freight. One thing I didn't like about the HF model is the laser guide would get gummed up from saw dust after a few cuts. This model uses a shadow so nothing can get gummed up!

Great saw. Wow. Except. There is an issue when running on the 110 Volt adapter. It blows GFI breakers, even if the saw is plugged into a non-GFI circuit. After trying different plugs and circuits for an hour or two, I did a Google search and found this is not a new issue. To use the saw, I had to drive to the nearest Big Box store, and buy two 60 Volt batteries at a significantly higher price than Amazon. My house does not have any GFI breakers in the panel and I did not have any issues at home. But the GFI breakers at the job site popped the moment the saw was turned on. For more explanations - Google the issue.My suggestion, don't bother with the 110 adapter. Just go with the two batteries. The batteries last long enough and charge fast enough.

Bought this as a upgrade to my old 8 inch, plug in the wall, Craftsman that is approaching 25 years old. I bought this saw to use as a plugin, but wanted to keep it possible to use it in remote areas with no power and use the batteries. Specially when we are building a barn on the back of the property and there isn't power out there yet. I have to say, I am impressed with this saw, it is very powerful, and makes great cuts.
