Frequently Asked Questions


Corded models provide continuous power when connected to a mains supply, while cordless models offer greater portability and freedom from power cables. The better option depends on where you work and how often the saw needs to be moved.
Consider the required cutting capacity, blade size, power source, mitre and bevel adjustment, portability and whether features such as XPS cut-line guidance or dust extraction compatibility are important for your work.
DeWalt’s XPS system projects a shadow of the blade onto the workpiece, helping improve cut-line visibility and alignment without relying on a laser.
