Dewalt DCS785B 20V MAX XR 12″ Double Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw – Tool Only

Dewalt DCS785B 20V MAX XR Cordless 12″ Double Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw – Tool Only

The Dewalt DCS785B 20V MAX XR 12″ Sliding Compound Miter Saw is engineered for large-scale precision cutting with full cordless flexibility. As Dewalt’s largest cut capacity miter saw in the 20V MAX lineup, it delivers up to 14″ horizontal crosscuts, 6-1/2″ vertical baseboard cuts, and 6-1/2″ nested crown molding cuts—making it a jobsite-ready solution for serious framing, finish, and decking work. Powered by Dewalt’s 20V MAX or FLEXVOLT® batteries (sold separately), this tool provides up to 371 cuts in 3-1/4″ MDF and 153 cuts in 4×4 pressure-treated lumber, delivering a combination of runtime and performance that rivals corded tools.

The regenerative braking system improves runtime and battery efficiency by capturing energy during blade slowdown. With WIRELESS TOOL CONTROL, the saw can activate a connected vacuum (sold separately) automatically when the trigger is engaged, helping to capture up to 97% of dust on the job. A CUTLINE™ blade positioning system provides accurate shadow-line visibility without recalibration. Despite its size, the saw is lightweight at just 51.7 lbs (tool only) and includes carry handles for easier transportation. Built with professional productivity in mind, it’s also Tool Connect™ Tag Ready for integration into jobsite inventory tracking systems.
