There’s only so much you can do with a circular saw before you start wishing you had a miter saw sitting in the garage. Cutting a bunch of boards to the same length, getting clean angles for trim, or making precise cuts for a woodworking project is a whole lot easier when you’ve got the right equipment. A sliding miter saw is particularly useful for wider boards, and having dual-bevel capability means you can tilt the blade in either direction instead of constantly flipping your workpiece around. Whether you’re building a deck, installing crown molding, or taking on a bigger renovation, a miter saw is a tool that can make a noticeable difference.
For a limited time, the DeWalt 12-Inch Double Bevel Miter Saw is on sale at Amazon for just $449. That’s $200 off a professional-grade sliding compound miter saw from one of the biggest names in tools, and it’s already earned more than 2,200 five-star reviews at Amazon. It has a 15-amp motor spinning at up to 3,800 rpm, along with a 12-inch blade and enough cutting capacity to handle 2×14 lumber at 90 degrees. That’s a big step up from smaller miter saws, especially if you’re regularly cutting wider boards or working with larger pieces of trim.
Getting your cuts lined up should be easier thanks to DeWalt’s integrated XPS cutline system, which shows where the blade will cut without needing to adjust a separate laser. There’s also a stainless-steel miter detent plate with 10 positive stops, so finding common angles doesn’t have to involve a bunch of guesswork. The saw can miter up to 60 degrees right and 50 degrees left, while the tall sliding fences accommodate crown molding up to 7.5 inches nested. Dust collection is rated to capture more than 75% of the dust generated, although you’ll still want to use proper dust extraction and protection indoors.
At $449, it’s a substantial investment, but the $200 discount makes it more appealing if you’ve been planning to upgrade your workshop or have any big projects coming up.
One user commented, “The saw is very accurate and it has a huge capacity, and the dust collection is the best I have used.”
“It’s a beast of a saw, probably overkill for most things,” said a second happy buyer. “It’s very well-made and perfectly square.”
