DWS780 vs LS1219L
DEWALT DWS780 vs Makita U.S.A. LS1219L. Of the 4 figures both makers publish, none differs outright. 3 are worded too differently to set side by side: arbor, crosscut capacity and included. The DWS780 and LS1219L are miter saws people search for together, compared on their makers' published 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. LS1219L: 1".
- Crosscut capacity: DWS780: 2x14 dimensional lumber at 90° and 2x10 at 45°. LS1219L: 3-5/8" x 15".
- Included: DWS780: (1) 12-Inch Carbide Blade. LS1219L: (1) Dust Bag (122852-0); (1) Triangular Rule (762001-3); (1) Vertical Vise (126617-2); (1) 12" x 1" 60T Micro-Polished Miter Saw Blade; (1) Hex Wrench (781044-6).
Cited for one of the pair: only DEWALT's cited pages give motor and miter capacity; only Makita U.S.A.'s cited pages give speed, dimensions and weight. The other maker may publish the figure elsewhere; ask it rather than assume the DWS780 and LS1219L match there.
