You’re most welcome, glad you enjoyed it mate. It was fun filming it. Might as well do it properly if at all 👊🏽

Just bought one and searching for a quick demo video, this was spot on!! thanks!!

*I was able to use the stop to cut my pieces all the same **MyBest.Tools** Only let the blade come to a complete stop before lifting it back up otherwise it might 'catch' the work and inadvertently move the stop. Used a second clamp for holding.*

You are such a relax reviewer, no music, just to the point info, i wonder why you have not more subs, you need upload more content and you will rise skyhigh. Thanks m8!

Top review , Ive already got a large chopsaw but its too bulky too move around . This is nice and compact ,just what Ive been looking for.

Great Video. I'm actually thinking about buying this as I'm currently learning Carpentry/Joinery in College and I could use this to cut the timber down in my house so I can practice my joints. I've also got a black and decker workbench which is the workmate plus. This has definitely helped me out. Thanks mate.

Hi, thank you for watching and glad you enjoyed it. It’s a brilliant piece of kit and will of course be an asset for your course. Those workbenches are brilliant too, grab some sawhorses too if you can, that way you can have a bigger workstation that can be packed away. Good luck on your course bud Kind regards Minhass

Thanks.. really useful for me the best bit was explaining the difference between this and the 773.. i saw the 773 with quite a big reduction in price but for me i think ill want to pay a little extra for the shadowline thing.. many thanks again

This is the DWS773 ! The DWS774 has a slightly more powerful motor and XPS line shadow.

Good informative review. The DWS774 permits clamping on right hand side as well as left hand side. I presume the DWS773 model has the same base so right hand clamping should be possible. Right hand clsmping is useful on bevel cuts as the clamp fouls the saw when tilting the saw to the left. Also note that clamping the workpiece to the handle has a tendency to uplift the workpiece so best clamping down to the solid metal base and not the handle.

Very usefull video, thumps up from Denmark🇩🇰👍

Yes Ken, the workmate ain’t the most sturdy. I use two clamps on the back, this stops it from wanting to rock forward. Works really well and feels really safe.

I was so close to buying this, being a Dewalt fan boy. The lack of 'trench cuts' persuaded me to buy the Evolution R185. You've got excellent dust collection. Hope I made the right choice. Thanks.

Hi Dave, thanks for watching and commenting. To be honest as a beginner I didn’t really consider the trench cut facility. A screwfix voucher persuaded me as I saved a further £20 on purchase. I too am a DeWALT fan and starting to accumulate quite the collection. Hope the Evolution one is just as good as this 👊🏽. Kind regards, Minhass

Trench cuts are slow. Much faster to use a router, or a circular saw and chisel.

Apols if youve already seen this product, FastCap Zero Clearance Tape makes it easy to see your cut line without losing the half inch (or so) with the bolted wood fence and reduces tear out.

Outstanding review, subscribed 👍 What projects have you used this for since? Have you run into any situations where you needed a larger blade? It seems like big brand saws with 10 inch blades are usually much more expensive than this. Any issues lining up cuts? I saw the DWS774 sells for about £50 more, think only difference is the XPS feature that works like a laser guide.

Hi Robert, Thank you for watching, commenting and subscribing. I got this one as I had a £20 screwfix voucher, was £180. It’s absolutely amazing, used to cut table legs, make a frame for a small outdoor storage shed and a dining bench. No issues at all. I’ve lubed the blade a little to reduce burn on end of boards. I went for DeWalt as I wanted something that would never need replacing (fingers crossed) as well as building up a dewalt collection. Thanks again, Regards Minhass 👊🏽

I know it says the maximum depth of cut is 62mm (x 250mm wide), but would it be possible to cut a 70 x 70mm? IOW, can you steal of few extra mm on a narrower piece?

Great, nice review thanks. Think you have convinced me to buy it. Was interested in your dust collection - what are you using?

@TheCustomCarpenter

2 жыл бұрын

Hi Keith, thanks for watching and glad you liked it, much appreciated. Dust collection was amazing for the first few days of using it (most likely because it was new and fresh ). Depending on how long you use it for, saw dust collects in grooves and gaps and reduces extraction slightly, I normally remove the vacuum and give it a clean then it’s good as gold. I use a Titan 30L shop vac think it was around £30. Kind regards Minhass

Great video, very useful. Question: is it possible to control the depth of the cut? So not making a complete cut but for instance just half way.

Hi, thank you for watching and commenting. Unfortunately it does not have a depth stop for trench cuts. You’ll need to increase the budget for that lol. 👊🏽

Well done, I learnt more of how to bevel and mitrecut than anywher else, can you do the same with the new DWS774? only difference is the 'shawdow'line and maybe a few other things?

I noticed you used a driver to put the screws in for the added fence , which driver would recommend please ..

How is best to cut high skirting board on this saw thanks

@TheCustomCarpenter

Ай бұрын

Hi, Best way would be to lay it flat and slide it over to 45 for corners. If the skirting isn’t too tall then you may be able to stand it up and use the sliding bevel for cuts.

Hi Mike, thank you for watching and commenting. Totally agree, I unfortunately found out the hard way. The user manual ain’t that good at explaining it either. Regards Minhass

Really, tighten the clamp onto the frame not the handle, 24.23 minutes in, move the clamp to the other side and clamp your work to the frame. Your causing it to lift. besides that mate, thanks for the vid.

You need to put the clamp over the aluminium bed, not over the unsupported plastic handle, then the board wouldn’t be lifting as you tighten the clamp, that is why they put 2 holes in the clamp arm!

Blade stop is very slow

Seriously... Keep your left hand OFF the wood when cutting! (Thats why its fitted with clamps)

wouldn't like to be paying you by the hour
