DeWALT DWS773 Mitre and Crosscut Saw

The DeWALT DWS773 mitre saw is a compact power saw designed for precise crosscuts, mitres and bevels in wood and engineered timber. It is driven by a 1300 W motor with a no-load speed up to 4500 RPM, delivering consistent cutting performance for workshop and site tasks. The saw accepts a 215 mm blade and provides a maximum cutting depth of 70 mm, while its mitre scale offers 48° travel left and right for a wide range of angled cuts. With overall dimensions of 550 mm (W) x 490 mm (D) x 590 mm (H), the unit balances portability and stability for professional and hobby use.

Advantages

The powerful 1300 W motor and high no-load speed ensure smooth cutting through common timber and panel materials. The wide mitre range of 48° left and right increases cutting versatility for frames, mouldings and trim work. A 215 mm blade size with a 70 mm maximum depth covers typical crosscutting and mitre tasks while keeping the tool compact. The saw’s footprint and weight distribution are designed to provide stable cuts without occupying excessive bench space.

Suitable for

• Crosscutting solid wood, softwood and hardwood
• Mitre and angled cuts for skirting, architrave and frames
• Cutting plywood, MDF and other sheet materials
• On-site trim and finish carpentry tasks

How to use

Secure the saw on a stable workbench or a compatible mitre saw stand before operation. Fit an appropriate 215 mm blade rated for the material to be cut and check blade guard movement. Mark the workpiece and position it against the fence, set the required mitre angle using the saw’s mitre scale, and clamp the workpiece if available. Start the motor and allow it to reach full speed before lowering the blade through the cut with steady, controlled motion. After cutting, release the trigger and wait for the blade to stop completely before removing the workpiece or making adjustments.

Recommendations

Use blades suited to the material (fine-tooth blades for cabinetry and higher tooth-count blades for plywood or laminate). Wear appropriate eye, hearing and dust protection, and use dust extraction or a shop vac to reduce airborne particles. For repeatable accuracy, use clamps and check alignment of the fence periodically.
