Thanks for the video. Was trying to acclimate to a saw Just purchased. S779 saw used with stand from a local retired carpenter. $150 - Sat for a year. A bit packed with saw dust. Cut really good from the start with a dewalt 60T that it came with. Also purchased a Bosch 4100 table saw ($150) from him that just needed new bearings. Since the dewalt was used alot, I busted into the motor on that and am replacing two of the bearings on the armature that had small signs of wear. Not horrible but maybe on its way out in a years time. Repacked the gearing behind the blade with grease. She should be running top notch this week when all my bearings come in. I bought a new Kobalt 12" and stand a year ago but this dewalt might be my replacement from here on out. Pretty solid saw.

The 32 tooth blade is what you want when you’re building decks and any type of framing. It cuts through the lumber faster with less strain on the saw motor. The more teeth you have on your blade the more it will gum up when cutting through pressure treated lumber. I personally have both blades so I will be prepared for any job I want to do.

Hey!!! Thanks so much for this comment!! Apologies for me delayed response. I highly recommend Diablo for blades, that's always my go to. This link here helps you pick the right blade for the specific tool and project - www.diablotools.com/explore/saw-blades. Great choice on the saw as well, it's a work horse for us - new video uploaded today for a Playhouse I built for my kids for Christmas, and the saw got a TON of work!! If you don't follow on social media, check us out there too - we are always building something and happy to help however possible!!

Thanks TG I just got one of these and I’m glad I watched your vid. I think I’m going to hook up my shop vac to the sawdust port instead of the bag.

Great review, new subscriber, I will be buying this saw soon, recently bought a new house that has a nice shop. Been on the fence about witch miter saw to get until I watched your video. I don't particularly care for dewalt, but I feel like they are the best when it comes to miter saws

Thanks so much for the comment!!! Truly appreciate that and for subscribing!! We've got a few videos in editing phase currently, holidays slowed me down a bit. I love the dewalt, been a workhorse for me but like you it's my only dewalt tool personally. Thanks again, hope you find value in the new videos coming up!

All your cuts could have been done with a standard miter saw with no slide or bevel. For a good review of this saw, it would've been nice to see some bevel and compound bevel cuts.

Thank you!!! I appreciate the feedback and thanks for checking out the video!! 🙌🏻

I have the non sliding version of this miter saw and notice that when the blade enters the arbor slot(when bade is down at lowest point of cut)(I think arbor slot is what it is called), the blade is much closer to to left side of the arbor slot than the right(not centered in the middle of the arbor slot). Don’t see any adjustment to fix that. Any thoughts appreciated. Thx

It could just be that the slot is a little off? I’m not aware of an adjustment for that, but potentially you can adjust the deck, the entire bottom section. I’d try reaching out to Dewalt support first to see if they could assist you

It’s a bad ass saw, i’ve had mine for years, never locked up once.

I agree! Definitely an awesome saw! Check out the light kit if you haven't already - solid and pretty cheap upgrade in my opinion - I did a video on it here - kzread.info/dash/bejne/rKiDm5pumJfaj7w.html

Definitely use a square to check where it needs to be - I know mine had some wiggle room in setting square, whenever I adjust it to make a cut I always check it again with a square when setting back to zero. Once it’s set, it stays true. 🙌🏻

Hey question for you. I can't find it anywhere but can it also use 10in blades? A lot of what I read said try to get one that used both so if you are cutting smaller material you can go with the smaller blade for better speed. Thanks

@TheToughGuysTV

4 жыл бұрын

Great question! I’m not sure you should install a smaller blade, but whether or not it’s actually possible to do so only depends on the arbor size. But again, I can’t confirm or recommend that you do that without consulting with Dewalt directly prior. Good luck!

The smaller the diameter the slower peripheral surface speed at the same RPM. The circumference of a larger diameter circle is just longer. A 10" blade on this saw has a peripheral surface speed of 9,848 feet per minute. A 12" blade going the same RPM travels 11,938 feet per minute. So the 12" blade is 21% faster.

Complete newb here.... Thanks so much for this video! Very helpful to my understanding of this tool! What's the difference between the 32T and 60T blade? Why is the 60T better?? Thanks!!

@TheToughGuysTV

Ай бұрын

Thanks for watching!! The 60T blade will make cleaner cuts for certain circumstances. The 32T blade is a better rough cut type of blade, def general purpose for construction lumber. If you’re able, consider Diablo or Freud blades, both would serve you well! Good luck! 🤙🏻

Super simple install. Mine works great! One thing that I haven’t spent the time to straighten out on mine: after the XR upgrade from m&m, every now and then the trigger sticks on. Not that big a deal, it’s only for a few seconds. When I’m done with our house, I’ll take it apart and see what’s sticky.

I almost bought the 779 with the intent to install the XPS kit, but then the 780 went on sale last week for $449.

I can’t get the handle to lift up. Do you know where to unlock the mechanism that keeps it locked to carry?

@TheToughGuysTV

There’s a little pin on the side, that you’ll pull to release the saw hinge function. It’s stainless not colored, on the left side I believe, start at the handle with your left, work it towards the back of the saw and downward. (From memory, I don’t have the saw anymore)

I have this saw, it works really nice, I have a few complaints, 1st off, with the bag it sticks out way to far, if you have a small shop, don't buy this, 2nd off it's really heavy, if I could do it again I would spend more and get a sliding miter saw that could sit flush against the wall, and prob go with a 10 inch since 12 is just so big

@TheToughGuysTV

It’s big for sure, and I call them out on the bag placement in my Evolution Miter Saw Video, it’s pretty crazy how far it sticks out. I don’t move the saw around ever, so the weight doesn’t really affect me but yeah if you have to move it at all might try to find a lighter option. Thanks for checking out the video!

can this model cut a 45 on a 2x6 sitting vertical on its edge?

Great video. These are indeed great saws and I love mine. However, it should be noted that the DWS779 has gone through at least three production versions at the time of this response ... Type 20, 21, and 22 now being the latest. Each production version has obsoleted (ended production of) the prior version. However, you will not find information concerning the production version Type on the product's packaging. The production version Type may only be found on the label affixed to the upper surface of the saw's motor. Suffice it to say that all DWS779 saws are not the same and you have to dig deeper than the model name. When initially produced, the DWS779 and its $200-$250 more expensive sibling, the DSW780, differed only in that the latter featured an LED shadow cut line light (XPS Light). While the DWS779 Type 20, possibly Type 21, and DWS780 may have all of the features shown within this video, the DWS779 Type 22 production version lacks at least following features: - the bevel stop pawls - slide stop lever. I can only surmise that these production changes were introduced to drive down production cost to make it more competitive, profitable, and provide greater differentiation between itself and the DWS780. It should be noted that many had been turning their DWS779 saws into full DWS780 saws by adding an aftermarket LED shadow cut line light for less than half of the cost differential between these two saws. Given this information, should the bevel pawls and slide stop lever be must have features for you, then you will need to purchase the DWS780 rather than the DWS779. Please additionally note that the DWS779 Type 22 saw has no provision to accept the bevel pawls or slide stop lever parts from the DWS780 or DWS779 Type 20/21.
