DWS782 specifications

The DeWalt DWS782 is a powerful and versatile miter saw designed for professionals and serious DIY enthusiasts alike. Known for its robust construction and high-performance capabilities, this tool is perfect for a wide range of applications, from framing and trimming to cabinetry and molding.

At the heart of the DWS782 is its high-torque, 15-amp motor, which delivers an impressive 3,800 RPM. This allows the saw to cut through various materials with ease, ensuring clean and accurate cuts every time. The saw features a dual-bevel function, allowing users to make bevel cuts up to 49 degrees to the left and right. This feature is complemented by an easy-to-read bevel scale, making angle adjustments quick and straightforward.

One of the standout features of the DWS782 is its sliding compound design. The sliding function extends the cutting capacity, allowing for wider materials to be cut without compromising accuracy. With a maximum cross cut capacity of 2x14 at 45 degrees and 2x16 at 90 degrees, the DWS782 is ideal for larger projects. Additionally, the built-in fence system provides reliable support for materials, ensuring stability during cuts.

The DWS782 is also equipped with an innovative dust extraction system. This feature not only helps maintain a clean workspace but also improves visibility by reducing dust buildup on the cutting line. For users who prioritize precision, the integrated LED light illuminates the blade and cutting area, ensuring exact cuts even in low-light conditions.

Safety is a key focus in the design of the DWS782. It comes with a protective blade guard that enhances user safety while cutting and a manual electric brake that stops the blade quickly for added peace of mind. The ergonomic design of the handle minimizes fatigue during extended use, making it comfortable to operate.

In terms of portability, the DeWalt DWS782 is relatively lightweight and features built-in carry handles, making it easier to transport between job sites. With a durable construction designed to withstand the rigors of daily professional use, this miter saw is truly a reliable workhorse.

Overall, the DeWalt DWS782 combines power, precision, and safety, making it a top choice for those looking for a high-quality miter saw that can tackle a variety of woodworking tasks efficiently.
