what does the 3 year warranty include
Covers all parts and labour except blade or damage caused from misuse. Doesn't cover shipping, however there should be an authorized dealer near you where you can drop it off and pick it up.

What blade comes with the DWS780, is it a 12" 32T or a 12" 80T
It came with 12" 60T blade. I'll be glad to get 80T as upgrade/bonus!!!

Does it come with the stand?
Usually no. But if you wait for the right sale it can, I got my stand for free with it but it was a special sale.

Can this saw, in one cut, a 6"x6" or a 8"x8" post?
No unfortunately the most you'll be able to cut with a 12 in mitre saw is going to be bout 5.5 inches due to the washer getting rid of a lot of cutting space. A 6x6 is truly 5.75inx5.75in so it will not cut it in one pass but it will cut 95% of it then you can either flip it or cut the last little bit with a hand saw.

DWS 780 Specs were changed
While I believe this is a good saw, I bought it because the DWS 780 will cut a 2x16 and 90 degrees. Imagine my surprise when I discovered there was no way to cut anything bigger than a 2x14! DeWalt has quietly changed the specs on the saw but kept the premium price. This is simply not an acceptable practice by a quality manufacturer of tools. If you cheapen something, change the model number, don't bait and switch. Though I have a DeWalt table saw I have been pleased with, and an older non-sliding miter saw, I have lost my trust in DeWalt tools by this sleazy marketing practice of cheapening tools after the better version has gain a good reputation.

Good saw for do it yourself and pros
I use this saw everyday and love the auto tilt bevel locks and cuts perfect. I do wish the saw dust system wasn't a mile long tube to the bag. Clogs up right away. The fence slides are hard to slide out and have to get hit with my hammer to extend them. I would like to see dewalt set up a different slide system, with the bag on the back I hack to have over 3to4 feet from a wall so my saw has clearance makes cutting in hallways on big jobs impossible. I would also like the saw to have a little more rpm saw bogs down on cuts and causes the blade to warp in my cuts also. I also would like a laser and tape measure marks on the saw fence or even on the platform for fast cuts. Great saw but could be better.

100% the best buy for the money
Purchased saw when Lowes ran a special that included the base stand, a $200 dollar option, for FREE. I am so happy I did so. Such an awesome addition to my shop. At first I was torn between the Bosch and this, the free stand sold me and I don't regret it for one second. Angle cuts are spot on, the light is spot on, almost everything about this is perfect. The only thing I'd improve on for this saw are the clamps and the blade depth stop. Those two aspects are the only thing I see that my buddies K-Pex does better, but at $1200s for a K-Pex no thanks. When cutting tenons use a spacer against the back stop and it'll work just fine.

Fantastic Saw
Briefly, this saw exceeded my expectations. I read many of these reviews before buying. None of the issues expressed I have incurred. It worked out of the box like a champ. The only negative is the saw is a little heavy and took a little effort to attach to the saw stand. But I started using it, it has been exceptional. I really am high on the XFS light system. I thought it was a laser but found the shadow to be wonderful. I am remolding a house and needed to do a staircase, molding, wood floor and cabinets. The features make it easy to make really accurate cuts. Glad I purchased this Dewalt 780 model.

Best tool I own
This saw has all the professional contractor level features, yet is very immediate level DIY'er friendly. I'm not a professional contractor, but with this saw, my mid level DIY skills and attention to detail, the work I've done to date, looks very professionally done. My only con is that at my age, carrying a 50 to 60 lb miter saw in and out of storage every time I want to use it, is going to be a pain in alot of places. i made the mistake of choosing the "heavy duty" miter saw stand instead of the "rolling" stand. That mistake will be rectified (smile).

Awesome saw, awesome price
Ordered mine online, had $200 off of price plus an online order discount, paid a little over $500, quite happy with that price.
VERY IMPORTANT
SOLVED ISSUE, RAIL RESISTANCE
the biggest thing I had an issue with was when I first took it out of the package to test it, the saw had a lot of resistance moving on the rails, I read through the manual and looked all over to find what was causing it to bind with no luck, I was contemplating having to send it back thinking "this is why it was so cheap", luckily I kept reading for a solution and I did find out that there is a tiny little Allen key set-screw behind (almost under) the tension knob, once I adjusted that it glided without resistance, I was glad that I didn't have to return it, such a sturdy versatile saw.
Note: use a 5/32 allen key to adjust it
cheers!

Great Saw, Pricey and Very Deep
come on, it's a DeWalt— it is a great saw out of the box— needed a slight bevel adjustment, that's it—
the only problem, and it really is not a problem with the saw, is that I wanted to install it on a dedicated, built-in miter saw bench in my shop.
the slider is so deep that it simply will not fit on a standard depth-size bench— I had planned for 24" deep bench, but immediately found out that the saw will not fit on anything less than a 32" deep bench. Not the saw's fault. If you need a saw to fit your less than 32" deep bench that is already made, it won't work….I suggest you look at the Festool or the Bosch where the sliders are on the side and not in the back like the DeWalt...

Best saw I have owned
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I previously had the ridgid 12” saw which I was able to pick up for 100 dollars cheaper than the dewalt. The two saws don’t even compare in my opinion. After having issues squaring up the ridgid saw and the blade guard completely failing on me I returned it to Home Depot and purchased this saw. The dewalt was completely squared out of the box. Also angle adjustment on the dewalt is far superior. The slides are smoother and the overall footprint is smaller and lighter. I do recommend changing the blade that comes with the dewalt to something nicer like a diablo. Overall I highly recommend
