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

This is the 110V site version of the DWS778 250mm single-bevel slide, cutting 305 × 85mm at 90° at 17.2kg with the XPS shadow line. It is single bevel. We rate it excellent capacity-per-kilo for 110V sites; the dual-bevel DWS727-LX is the alternative if you flip stock often.
