I'm looking to buy the Double Bevel Sliding Miter Saw, 12-inch model (DWS780). Right now, it's listed at $499 on Amazon, which they say is 25% off. Is this a good price, or should I hold out for a better deal?

Honestly, it depends on your needs. Mitre saws generally come with general-purpose blades that fit most tasks, but if you're aiming for precision woodworking, you might want to consider upgrading. Also, remember to calibrate your saw for more accurate cuts!
What blade you get for it totally depends on your projects. The stock blade is fine for general stuff, but if you're doing fine work, grab a blade with a higher tooth count. I've got a fancy one for finish carpentry and it's made a difference for me.
Yeah, the stock ones aren't super effective for high-precision work, but for basic cuts, they do the job.
That price is solid! It's actually the same amount I paid back in 2020. If you're on the fence, check the price history on sites like CamelCamelCamel to see how it fluctuates. You might not find a better deal than that right now!
I thought the stock blade wasn’t great for some projects either. What's a good upgrade blade you recommend?
