Pros & Cons
DeWalt DCS714B 18V XR / 20V MAX 254mm Double Bevel Cordless Mitre Saw (Skin)
Pros
- + 254mm double-bevel head - bevels both ways without flipping stock
- + Up to 434 cuts of 3-1/4in base moulding per charge
- + Compatible with all DeWalt 18V XR / 20V MAX batteries
- + Cheaper than the 184mm sliding DeWalt it sits beside
Cons
- − US-spec import - warranty terms vary by Amazon AU seller
- − Fixed head, not sliding - limits crosscut width on wide boards
- − Skin only - no battery or charger included
DeWalt DCS361B 18V XR / 20V MAX 184mm Cordless Sliding Mitre Saw (Skin)
Pros
- + Roughly A$350 less than the EU-spec DCS365 for the same class of saw
- + Integrated cutline casts the blade's own shadow - nothing to calibrate, no parallax
- + 11 positive mitre stops on a stainless detent plate with a cam-lock handle
- + 13.6kg, a genuine one-person carry between levels
- + Runs on any DeWalt 18V XR or 20V MAX pack you already own
Cons
- − Brushed motor rather than brushless - heats up faster in dense hardwood
- − Single bevel only, so crown from both sides means flipping the workpiece
- − US-spec 20V MAX listing shipped from Amazon US, so international dispatch and a US warranty path
- − Skin only - battery and charger separate
