DWS715 vs DWS779
DEWALT DWS715 vs DEWALT DWS779. Of the 5 figures both makers publish, none differs outright. 4 are worded too differently to set side by side: arbor, bevel capacity, crosscut capacity and included. The DWS715 and DWS779 are two miter saws from one maker that people search for together, compared on the maker's published figures.
