If you have any questions on this or any other of my videos please feel free to ask in the comments, I’ll try to help.
Here’s a link to buy one on Amazon
Note: The DWS773 is now superseded by the 774 which has shadow line.

Very useful tips on setting the saw up. Refreshing to see tools I can afford. Thank you.
Thanks Mike, what I'm trying to do is create more videos that do exactly that. Yes I have some expensive tools but most jobs can be done with less and cheaper
Really helpful video thanks! Just a little heads up for anyone watching, I’ve found that there is the correct torque key for adjusting the back 0-48* angle on the opposite end of the Allen key that comes with the saw attached to the handle.
Thanks Sonny, useful update 👍🏻
You’re the man. Bought a DWS774 today and it was well out. Going to give this a try tomorrow and hopefully get it adjusted
Thank you 😊
Excellent video just what I was looking for, thank you
Thanks, glad it helped
Good Tips for sure ...
Thanks Hans
Please make review of this saw. And show max dimension to cut.
Nice video. Thanks. My DSW774 started to wobble badly on the sliders, up to 5mm movement sideways! Tightening the screw behind the blade didn’t fix it. There should be a broken sliding bearing somewhere be I’m not sure how to check it. Does anyone have some experience on that?
I’ll try and have a look in the next couple of days, see if I can get any ideas
Good vid mate I have the saw as this one and when I hold the handle of mine it slightly moves a mill left to right and is not steady .i did try and tighten the screw up on the housing of the side of the machine but it’s done nothing and the leaver on the back is tight so it’s not that .any ideas on what it could be I just saw the part where you changed to a compound cut and you had the flex on it ,that’s what I got on mine but with a straight cut and I have to keep shifting and holding it to the right like a twisting move to get the cut and some times it don’t have it .👍👍

my fence is square to the blade. my blade is perpendicular to the table surface. When using as a chop saw, i get true 90 degree cuts. when i shift to cut a 45 (vertical), the 45 is correct, but the cut seems to drift from top to bottom. So, for a base board, the 45 is good, the top of the joints are tight, the bottom of the joint is 1/16th out.
Sorry Michael, bit slow responding. My first thought would be that your blade may not be sharp enough. Which way does it drift? Towards the point of the angle? I find that typically happens to me if I try to “rush” the cut by hanging too hard on the handle and forcing the blade through rather than it cutting at its own pace. The effect is worsened by a blunt blade.
@@oldmanwithdefinitely if trimming a tiny amount off need to go much slower the teeth won't want to bite when just trying to take 1-3mm
you tricked me with the old man thing until I heard the Techno music 😅
Hahaha the truth is I identify as a mid twenty year old except first thing in the mornings when my body reminds me of the 65 year old truth……
@@oldmanwith That's the spirit, may you enjoy a lovely healthy long life...
Great advice. Thanks, but need your HELP. How can I make/fit a zero clearance. That yellow gap is just ridiculous 🤣
Haha thanks Jacqui, yeah the gap is kinda large. Here’s some resource: ruclips.net/video/RWvxhSaI9nk/видео.html ruclips.net/video/Enq0wFHei8c/видео.html ruclips.net/video/cw0Najg19j8/видео.html. In honesty I don’t use any of them. Most of what I do with mine is construction type work so the finish is less important but when I do need a good cut I have a stack of cheap laminate flooring panels and I just lay that on he bed of the saw and cut right the way through. Maybe I should do a video on it…..
@@oldmanwithclever idea don't know where people get the time to make them up lol
True enough with the time thing Jamie, I watch videos of people like “watch me make a polished walnut workbench with fretwork brass inlay” and I’m like “yeah give me a couple of scaffold boards and a circular saw, it’s gonna get beaten to heck anyway” 😂😂 . I can do the quality work when I need to but it’s not going to be stuff that’s used in the workshop or on site…..
Just found your channel, brilliant, but lose the music
Thanks for your comment, that’s something that’s kinda gone back and forth on the comments. Last one I did only had music on the intro as a result
Good instructions but that MUSIC!!!!!!!
Thanks John, fairly early video on my channel, I use music differently now
I hate adjusting my miter. It is so cumbersome.
I guess I agree it's a pain but I'd also say that in most of the areas of construction and engineering that I've worked in, all equipment wears / gets damaged / gets used by someone else who doesn't work the same way and thus one ends up at least checking, if not adjusting on a pretty much daily basis. Do I check and adjust my kit on a daily basis? Nooooooo, only when I have a task where accuracy demands it. Thanks for watching and commenting
