This is done with a pivoting arm that can move to the left or right to cut the angles that you need to complete. The DeWALT DE7023 is supplied with 2x DE7025 430mm mounting brackets with rubber feet to facilitate a stable base in case you remove the saw assembly from the workstation. Adjustable stainless steel miter detent plate with 11 positive stops improves productivity and ensures cutting accuracy. The powerful motor can deliver a blade speed of 3750rpm allowing you to make long, accurate cuts quickly in thick boards. speed switch that works with the variable speed trigger and less vibration are the only changes I know of.
First they started with DCS355 exactly from the middle of this range, after a few years almost at the same time one number below (DCS354 Atomic) and one number above (DCS356 three speed option) was released and now DSC533 12V version is released. One of the reasons I bought the tool was how good it felt in my hand, and how maneuverable it was (355). Oscillating multi-tool with brushless motor delivering up to 57% more run time over DeWalt brushed motors.

The Dewalt DCS365 is an exceptionally powerful cordless mitre saw capable of producing up to 3750rpm for performance similar to that of a corded machine. XR switch and module helps to prevent the motor from overload and the battery from deep discharge with low battery indicator.
The weird part is the DCS356 appears to be cheaper than the DCS355 which doesn't make sense if it's exactly the same with a 3 speed switch.
DeWALT DCS365N-XJ 18V XR 184mm Mitre Saw (Body Only) - CEF
one of the newer versions(maybe atomic) doesnt have the threaded hole on the side if you want to attach a belt hook. There was a patent I seen awhile back that was almost like a combination of starlock and the open ended universal fit blades used on the DeWALT.
While I have no experience with it, I've heard people on here say it gets a little power boost from larger Ah batteries. Also a head that is dampened for vibration like the Fein and Festool would have been nice for less noise and vibration. Horizontal rails create additional capacity for larger materials and the dual fence mechanism provides maximum support in large material cuts at any angle or combination of angles.
