DWS780 vs XSL07Z
DEWALT DWS780 vs Makita U.S.A. XSL07Z. Of the 3 figures both makers publish, none differs outright. 3 are worded too differently to set side by side: blade diameter, arbor and miter capacity. Both are miter saws with the same blade diameter: blade diameter 12 in. on the DWS780, 305 mm (12") on the XSL07Z, 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.
- Blade diameter: DWS780: 12 in. XSL07Z: 305 mm (12").
- 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. XSL07Z: 25.4 mm (1").
- Miter capacity: DWS780: 60° to the right and 50° to the left. XSL07Z: Right 60°, Left 60°.
Where the table has one figure and a dash, only DEWALT's cited pages give motor, crosscut capacity and included; only Makita U.S.A.'s cited pages give voltage, bevel capacity, speed, dimensions and weight. Those rows are open questions for the other maker, not ties between the DWS780 and XSL07Z.
