Dp they pffer an AC adapter for the 60 volt ? I know they had an AC adapter for the otiginal 120 volt model. Thanks
They do not. At first I was disappointed in that , but having used it as long as I have. I can tell you just 1 9ah was lasting me all day long trimming a house. The original Flexvolt I used 4 6ah batteries . So if you have at least 2 Flexvolt batteries you really don’t need a cord. Also the cord was the source of a lot of issues with the older model.
@@toolman101476 oh ok . Thank you for the fast and informative response. Take care .
Feels like the corded line is going to be left to die off and we're always going to have to buy battery operated for top tier build quality
Bro tryin to kick that grenade had me weak 😭💀
This saw and the 15amp battery is amazing. Got a couple Amana blades for it and its so smooth.
love mine
I wish they added the option to plug it in like the Flex 24v miter saw. That would've made it perfect. Still love the saw thigh
I hear that a lot, however the battery life on this with one battery is pretty much all day even with a 6ah 9ah it’s mid of the next day and that’s trimming a house. I burned up many a motor on the old Flexvolt with as much cutting as I was doing. 2 - 6ah would get me to lunch time. 4 a day compared to 1 a day. I’ve yet to need the cord for it
Need a lawyer. Call hall
Was that fat ninja at the 6:40 mark?
The one and only lol
@@toolman101476 pretty dramatic. 🤣
I appreciate this video. I'm going next month. Had no idea what to expect. This brought it into perspective.
@@danielbristow9508 I’m looking forward to this next one. Well see you out there!
I run dewalt and I can confirm this. Did it and it works perfectly. Saved myself over $100 on the finish nailer with a coupon. And as far as the bostitch batteries, there's a nub you can sand down and can now run your dewalt tools. Chargers as well. Just sand the nub
How do you add a crown stop to these wings?
Follow me on instagram toolman101476 I use what’s called a kizen miterfence I also have a crown stop fence. Neither attach to the supports. This is all either a replacement fence or an add on to your existing fence
Are yall military or law enforcement yall move very well
Most of us are ex paintballers but we do have a few marines and navy that run with us. Thankyou for the compliment !
Sounds good. Voice is really close to Mr Chesney. Surprised this hasn’t had more views
Where can buy
Kizen miter fence it pulls up on google There different options for it.
Awesome, I like the both of them 😮
Something that I've been trying to figure out with the 60 volt is how high is the work surface for cutting from where the tool sits. I'm looking to purchase this and wanting to see if it will sit in my current miter station or if I need to adjust the height in some way.
i'll check mine tomorrow and try to remember to get back to you with a dimension
3 1/2”
You still liking this saw after 8 months? Is the run time adequate? Thinking of selling my 10" saw and getting one of these.
Absolutely still loving it! Follow me on Instagram toolman101476. Run time has still be great. I did have an issue with the light. Somehow dust was getting up inside the housing for the light. Packed it so tight you couldn’t see the light anymore. I thought it was burnt out. As I replaced the light I took apart the old light I found all the dust inside of it. So other than that saw has been great zero issues with it.
😄 I had to laugh when he pulled out the DeWalt blower to get rid of the sawdust. It is my go to item when I clean up after using any of my saws.
Thanks for watching lol
I just started my plumbing apprenticeship and dont have too much experience, but since iv started I have been carrying a tape measure around everyday and there are countless times when my "boss" has asked me if I grabbed a flash light and we both forgot one. Today I bought the Milwaukee and I know its going to come in handy when we are up in ceilings measuring pipe and neglected to grab a light.
This saw kzread.infoUgkx84IcU5pbZd1Qrz8u4-YRLmJax7kdRi7B comes in handy in many ways. When I had a small (dead) tree fall I started the process of disposal by using this saw and cutting off the small branches. Then slowly work on the small trunk with undercutting and letting it fall down. With many trees on acres of land paying for a tree service can be expensive. It also is nice in that it can be used in hard to get areas like along my creek. It's also safer and quieter than a chainsaw. It obviously can't cut down massive trees but it does work fine for small ones or brush. And of course since I already own a Black
Agreed!
This is the DCW220B for anyone wondering, released in Spring 2023
With how bright the Milwaukee is i bet it dont last long on run time, honestly besides the brightness the dewalt sounds better
I have your same setup and this video helped so much thanks a lot for making this video!!!!
Love my Milwaukee Led Magnetic' Dewalt tough series the magnet constantly falling off an also the clip loosens until it falls off. Garbage 🗑
Milwaukee walked this one.! The button to turn the light on is exactly where it should be. It also has a better fitment on my hand. And all the stuff numbers on the back are really useful if you know how to use it.
Is thunderdome semi only?
Yes
Even if you run an rpk 74 long barrel? @@toolman101476
He got one door and casing on. That is definitely falling short of an award at this point
Dewalt always going behind Milwaukee 👎🏼 and im a dewalt fan
Me too I wish they would step up there Game
I picked up the DeWalt led tape measure yesterday,after watching your video I returned the DeWalt and picked up the Milwaukee. Great improvement over the DeWalt, your right about the led switch it could be alot easier to activate.
Thanks for the excellent comparison. Have you had any issues with the bavel lock or bevel going out of alignment on the 60v?
I’ve heard this a few times now but I haven’t experienced it at all.
yes you are right and a month old saw i am selling this dewalt 60v 781 i just dont like it, it very loud unit . i am going back to makita 40v miter saw 12. anyway nice video
Milwaukee alot brighter plus magnetic
It's a great fence, the newest generation mount easier. Pays for itself quickly.
I’m thinking about buying one of these but since they are out of business there is only used options. Do you think they are worth buying used or too sketchy?
Very cool! I of course would like to have one, but I don’t think I’d use it enough to justify the price.
I’ve gotten so used to not having a belt sander as an option I tend to forget I have it. It’s been great so far with no issues… it is pricey but it’s in-line with what I expected
Man thank you. Showing the lack of side to side play sold me. Just placed my order. I had bought the makita 40v 12” GSL04m1 buying into the koolaid. The blade wobbles out of the box, and extended, there is 1/8” movement so can double the width of the saw blade in the material being cut. I’m returning it this weekend. Plus this one will end up saving me about $200 comparatively, and that was a sale price for the makita!
goodwork like always
A measuring tape with a flashlight. Well that is stupid.
I wouldn’t make it my everyday tape but there situations where it would be nice to have
@@toolman101476 I just don't see any purpose for a flashlight stuck to a tape measure. Other than to separate gadget freaks from their money.
@@chrisose I used to trim production houses… so no power in them. Some of the master bathrooms would have no windows which made them pretty dark and they’d also have big walk in closets that were even darker. That would be the only time having a tape light would be beneficial… those situations don’t happen a lot though. It’s definitely in the gadget realm for sure.
@@toolman101476 Would you really use either of these as a primary work light when there are so many options these days for compact cordless lights that will fill a room with light and allow you to work safely?
@@chrisose No I wouldn’t use it as a primary light. What I’m getting at in the video is I’ve had situations where I need a light for just a minute and I don’t want to go out to the van to get a light. In those cases I’ll use my cellphone… this tape would just be another option. Most of the houses were in are 95% lighted. I don’t care to bring a light for the few closets or bathrooms I need to work in. It’s just one more thing to get out and put back up. Unless you do this particular work. You’ll probably never run into a situation like that at least not enough times to see any real value in a lighted tape. Thanks for watching and commenting! I like hearing other’s opinions even if they differ from mine.
The Milwaukee is too bright it has an annoying front beam, which is why I use mag lights they give a perfect beam I have other flashlight that are much brighter, better used for spotlighting when working up close for work too bright
The small Powerstack is only 1.7ah
It runs it long enough to do small things.. I looked into the power stack 5 ah but at 229 per battery I’m thinking I’ll wait for a sell or see if the price will drop like the 1.7 power stacks did.
God dammit I have to buy another tape on top of the 50 taps I already have! It’s an addiction. Let me tell you.
51 tapes it is! I’ve had this on a few jobs that it was a really nice convenience to have..
LED aside, Milwaukee tapes are terrible. Any idea on the run time in between charging? Milwaukee tape is night and day difference from the Dewalt. Still not bad for under $40
I tried one Milwaukee tape and didn’t like the belt hook and I felt the tape itself was thinner and didn’t have the reach of a Fatmax… that was enough for me to put it in a shop drawer and forget I had it..
Milwaukee light has a 2.5 hour continuous runtime
@@toolman101476 I know what you mean. I did use Hultafors tapes before, but I don't like the tip of that tape (it bends so easily), but I do love the quick release belt hook they have. So after I changed to Milwaukee tapes, I just 3D printed my own "clip" who I attached to the Milwaukee tapes, and now they fit right into the Hultafors belt clip :D
China Milwaukee 🇨🇳 is made with slave labor they're garbage
i’m a bit disappointed w the dust collection as it appeared in the video. when i read 94% i was like take my money! i work primarily w MDF using a 780 and a festool dust extractor and i bet i’m not getting 70%. if i’m cutting all day there will be a dusting on the walls floor and anything laying around for a 10ft radius and that no exaggeration however- i wonder if you were to cut into the mdf from the front instead of into it from the top of the board if the dust extraction would improve? i noticed you’re getting a lot of dust off the front of the blade as you come down into the mdf wonder if that would make a difference for me dust collection would be the key selling point over the 40v malika or the bosch profactor
Would a 9 AH Flexvolt battery fit nicely on this tool or is it too big for it. If it did happen to fit which would be amazing how long do you think it would last in a power hungry tool like this. This tool to me seems to be almost as hungry as a battery powered angle grinder which can eat high AH batteries in a matter of minutes depending on how hard you use that tool.
I can put one on there today. Follow me on Instagram Toolman101476 and we’ll test it out.
I believe that's the battery DeWalt used to compare it to the Milwaukee model, I think I remember seeing that in the stats.
Wow, how'd you get hands on one already? I ordered mine a few weeks back from Acme but they're still on pre-order
It doesn’t work now but If you type in B0BY2T3XVT on Amazon it would pull it up. I paid $319 for it and received it in under a week.
@@toolman101476 Damn, I would've paid more to get it sooner. I paid 299 but we'll see how long it takes to get it. Canceled my last order through toolnut because they were shipping end of May. Hopefully Acme is faster 🤞
Nice job Toolman
@@DGALVIN45 Atlas tool and machinery is where I found mine, shipped off in two days after ordering.
@@mojo7586 yea it was only up for a few days. I have no idea what that was or why it was there for a short amount of time… I found the info on a Facebook dewalt group. I’ve been making up reasons to use it… it’s been great so far
Thanks for sharing these details and your experiences with this top. I'm on the fence about a foldable vs this one. I do like the large area of this cover plus the tension in the fabric looks great around the frame. My covers are tonneau type so the Bimini would be exposed when it's parked up, whether that be in the water or on my trailer! So the question is, is it much of a hassle to remove the fabric? It doesn't look to be more than just a few minutes effort. I wouldn't be taking the whole thing off, just the fabric so the birds don't pepper it!!
With The cost of two 12-amp batteries being over 600$,it’s worth looking into upgrading.
I’ve been using this 5 days a week for the last couple months and unlike the OG Flexvolt I’m not changing batteries every day… In my mind this will also increase the life of my batteries. Before I would go through 4 batteries a day. Now it’s 1 every couple days.
I just picked up the saw this weekend. Mine did not come with the adapter for vacuums. The bag does fit on it as shipped. Any idea on part number for that adapter? Is there a part number for connection on the extractor hose.
ive had tobuy a new 780 as ive had 2 new motors on the 120 which only lasted about 5 year the first time it broke just before the 3 year warranty ran out and the new motor only lasted about 2 years
You sound like me… I had motor issues with every one of my OG Flexvolt mitersaws. I’m hoping this one is past all those issues..
I really want the new saw but the price here in the UK for a bare unit is stupid, prices sitting at around £1000/1100, around $1200/1300 for a bare unit
I like the DeWalt ear bud's I have, but I have an issue I haven't been able to figure out in manual or online. When not in use and fully charged they'll loose their charge in a couple day's while in the case. I turned off BT on phone but it doesn't help. Any ideas?
