Did I Just Waste $400 Bucks On This Miter Saw?

I’m so tired of dragging my 12” DeWalt miter saw and stand combo out from behind my car every time I need to make a simple cut. It’s heavy, awkward, and turns a 2-minute job into a whole production.

I was at Lowe’s grabbing some window trim and saw a deal on a 7” battery-powered miter saw plus a free 5Ah battery. I’m a sucker for a free battery, so I bought it.

Now I’m trying to figure out if this 7” can actually replace the 12” I’ve been using for the last decade or if I just made a mistake and now I’ve got two of the same tool taking up space. In this video I run both through how I actually use them day to day, not lab tests, just real cuts, and my opinion changed pretty fast.

Also curious what you guys are using for stands.
If you’re cutting 8’+ boards and still keeping things portable, what setup are you running?
