GCM12SD vs DCS781B

Bosch GCM12SD vs DEWALT DCS781B. Of the 5 figures both makers publish, 3 differ: voltage, speed and weight. One is worded too differently to set side by side: included. Both are miter saws with the same blade diameter: blade diameter 12" on the GCM12SD, 12.0-in on the DCS781B, in their makers' figures.

Stated differently, not directly comparable

The two makers put these figures in different terms, so the rows cannot be read as a match or a difference from these pages.

Cited for one of the pair: only Bosch's cited pages give current, bevel capacity, miter capacity and crosscut capacity; only DEWALT's cited pages give motor, arbor and warranty. The other maker may publish the figure elsewhere; ask it rather than assume the GCM12SD and DCS781B match there.
