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
