DWS780 vs C12RSH3

DEWALT DWS780 vs Metabo HPT C12RSH3. Of the 4 figures both makers publish, none differs outright. 3 are worded too differently to set side by side: motor, miter capacity and included. The DWS780 and C12RSH3 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.

  • Motor: DWS780: 120 volt motor; 1600 watts in 15 amp motor; 3800 RPM; automatic electric brake. C12RSH3: Series Commutator Motor.
  • Miter capacity: DWS780: 60° to the right and 50° to the left. C12RSH3: Left: 0° - 45°; Right: 0° - 57°.
  • Included: DWS780: (1) 12-Inch Carbide Blade. C12RSH3: 12" TCT Saw Blade (for wood) (323522); Dust Bag (322955); Vise Assembly (339624); 8 mm Hex. Bar Wrench (955857); Holder (376730); Side Holder (380332).

Cited for one of the pair: only DEWALT's cited pages give arbor and crosscut capacity; only Metabo HPT's cited pages give current, voltage, bevel capacity, speed, dust port, weight, cord length and warranty. The other maker may publish the figure elsewhere; ask it rather than assume the DWS780 and C12RSH3 match there.
