Where it sits among 250mm mitre saws

Scaled against the 7 mitre saws with a 250mm blade we list, so other sizes aren't in the mix. Not a score: bigger isn't always better for your job.

The verdictOur take

The DCS778 is the cordless, brushless 250mm single-bevel slide, a FlexVolt saw cutting a wide 305 × 85mm at 90° with the XPS shadow line, the cordless take on the high-capacity DWS778. It stays single bevel. We rate it excellent cordless capacity for FlexVolt owners; if you bevel both ways the dual-bevel DCS727 is the sibling, and for full 305mm reach look at the DCS781.
