i am in the market for a miter saw. Dewalt has a two cordless option one has a 7 1/4″ blade the other one has a 12″ blade (the 12″ has a port to plug into an outlet , and then there are other brands that are 10″ and 12″ blade that are cord. why would i need a 10-12″ blade vs a 7 1/4 blade and are the cordless options any good

Not sure if the dewalt 12″ is available yet… The little dewalt is a proven saw, makita has a nice one too in its 2×18 in a 8 1/2″ blade… Ally of options but assess your needs, Milwaukee has a 10″ coming out too but the big ones have a big price too

Kiefers take on the new dewalt saw. Valid points, but not for me…

I anxiously await reviews on that new cordless yellow. Red is appealing as well.
The appeal of larger blades is it cuts through larger materials. 10″ is likely a fine size for myself but 12″ has the appeal of buy once, cry once, and the ability to handle anything I could throw at it.
