DWS780 vs FX7141A-Z

DEWALT DWS780 vs FLEX FX7141A-Z. Of the 5 figures both makers publish, none differs outright. 4 are worded too differently to set side by side: arbor, miter capacity, crosscut capacity and included. Both are miter saws with the same blade diameter: blade diameter 12 in. on the DWS780, 12 in on the FX7141A-Z, 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.

  • Arbor: DWS780: 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. FX7141A-Z: 1 in.
  • Miter capacity: DWS780: 60° to the right and 50° to the left. FX7141A-Z: L:0-52°/R:0-60°.
  • Crosscut capacity: DWS780: 2x14 dimensional lumber at 90° and 2x10 at 45°. FX7141A-Z: 3.6 in x 14 in.
  • Included: DWS780: (1) 12-Inch Carbide Blade. FX7141A-Z: (1) 12'' Miter Saw [FX7141A], (1) Dust Bag, (1) Dust Elbow, (1) Material Clamp, (1) Blade Change Wrench.

One-sided rows: only DEWALT's cited pages give motor; only FLEX's cited pages give voltage, bevel capacity, speed and weight. A missing figure is not a zero, so the DWS780 and FX7141A-Z cannot be compared on those rows from these pages.
