DWS779 vs GSL04Z
DEWALT DWS779 vs Makita U.S.A. GSL04Z. Of the 4 figures both makers publish, none differs outright. 4 are worded too differently to set side by side: voltage, blade diameter, arbor and bevel capacity. Both are miter saws with the same blade diameter: blade diameter 12 in. on the DWS779, 305 mm (12") on the GSL04Z, 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.
- Voltage: DWS779: 120V. GSL04Z: D.C. 36 V - 40 V max.
- Blade diameter: DWS779: 12 in. GSL04Z: 305 mm (12").
- Arbor: DWS779: 12" (305 mm) saw blades with either 1" (25.4 mm) or 5/8" (15.88 mm) arbor holes; speed rating at least 4800 RPM. GSL04Z: 25.4 mm (1").
- Bevel capacity: DWS779: 0° - 48° left and right. GSL04Z: Right 48°, Left 48°.
Cited for one of the pair: only DEWALT's cited pages give crosscut capacity and included; only Makita U.S.A.'s cited pages give miter capacity, speed, dimensions and weight. The other maker may publish the figure elsewhere; ask it rather than assume the DWS779 and GSL04Z match there.
