Dewalt DCS361B 20V Max Cordless Miter Saw Review

The yellow and black color scheme on Dewalt tools makes them easily recognizable. The cordless miter saw was introduced by Dewalt in 2015, and it has remained popular ever since. Due to its cordless nature, the saw is portable. A 20-volt standard battery powers all of DeWalt’s products.

Which market does this product target?

It is a cordless miter saw that anyone can use, whether they are novice DIYers or professionals.

The ability to cut wood more accurately will be of great benefit to hobbyists, especially if angled cuts are involved.

It is important for professionals to have a miter saw for making all types of cuts they need, and they can rely on Dewalt products because of their quality and reputation.

Exactly what does the package include?

As we will explain, cordless miter saws such as the Dewalt DCS361B are sold as ‘Tool Only.’ As well as the miter saw, the package includes a carbide-tipped blade with a diameter of 7-1/4 inches.

An appropriate wrench is included to remove, replace, or attach the blade. There is also a material clamp included in the package. A user’s guide is included in the manual, as expected.

It is important to note that neither the battery nor the charger are included with the device.

Dewalt power tools, on the other hand, may be a silver lining. This miter saw uses a universal battery, so if you have a battery for another tool, you can use it here. It does not come with a charger.
