Overview
The DEWALT D28730 stands out in the Metal-Cutting and Chop Saws category with the highest published motor wattage at 2300 watts, paired with a 4.6-star rating from 498 verified owner reviews. At $219.99, it is the highest-priced saw among the reviewed models in this category, but it also records the strongest recent monthly demand at approximately 100 units sold.
The D28730 operates on 120V corded power with a 14-inch metal blade capacity. The 2300-watt motor positions it for sustained heavy-duty cutting in pipe fabrication, structural steel work, and production environments where motor thermal headroom under continuous load is important. DEWALT's service infrastructure is an additional consideration for tradespeople who keep equipment in daily service.
Compared to the DEWALT D28715 at $199.00, the D28730 adds approximately 100 watts more motor capacity and costs $20.99 more. Buyers running the saw lightly will see minimal difference; those doing sustained heavy cutting will benefit from the additional power headroom.
