Man I hit the jackpot first search. Thank you for showing me how to use my new saw, still applicable 7 years later.
Ryan it's my pleasure. thanks for viewing.
This was great. I love videos that manage to answer all the questions. I bought the saw several months ago and read the manual but never actually used it. This was perfect to get me going.
My pleasure glad to help now enjoy that great tool
6 years later and your video has helped me a lot with my new dewalt thanks!
Lesko Brandon your very welcome and congrats on the new tool. I know you will enjoy it. It's a great saw. Thanks for viewing.
Even though this video is over 4 years old and still relevant, due to the fact that it help me with my Dewalt dws780. I've never got my craftsman a perfect 90°on bevel or miter. 10 thumbs up.
337Soldier You are so welcome. I am humbled when I'm able to help. Thank you and thanks for viewing.
Dewalt should pay you for this video. The most detailed and probably the only video on dialing it to zero. Amazing! Thanks.
Thank you so much DIYr. DeWalt's so big I wonder if they even look on RUclips. I'm sure they are focused elsewhere. But this is why I do this. Far from a pro with a BA in film I try my best and just put it out there. I want to know just what other consumers want to know before buying anything, all the features and details. I will have a vid coming out in a few weeks, My 1 year anniversary and will review all my tools I’ve reviewed. I’ll be giving an update if any issues have come up or if they have performed flawlessly. Thanks for the kind words and I appreciate you taking the time to view.
The Shack
Excellent tutorial,just what I needed to know more about the DWS 780 with out having to read through the entire manual athough it is a good idea to,can't wait to unbox mine 👍🏻 Thanks for sharing !
Thanks for showing how to calibrate it! This is exactly what I needed to know for the DWS780!
S it is my pleasure. Thanks for viewing.
I watched many videos on this product and this one was the only one that showed me the detail I needed. Thank you!!!
Tralynn P You are so welcome! Thank you for viewing
Great video; setting the stops for the degrees was very helpful. Thanks for your attention to the small details.
Marilynn Hill you are welcome. Thank you for viewing.
By far this is the best product review and your true adjustments. I purchased my new miter saw DWS 780 last 12-2-19. I am a newbie and ready to start my DIY project soon.
Dennie thank you. My pleasure to help and Welcome to a new beginning. This a huge start for your projects. Being this is Christmas I'd live to give you a little something to help you on your journey. If you want you can send me a direct email and ill give you more info. (backintheshack@outlook.com)
This is possibly the best product review of anything I've found on RUclips. So glad I found this before dropping so much cash on a Saw.
Seriously, what a great video. You answered every question I had about certain features I'd been looking for. Thank you
Vassni You are so welcome. I'm very happy it helped. Thank you for viewing.
Thank you for this. I found the manual quite hard to follow for set up but you clarified things quite well.
My pleasure thanks for viewing
Best video on DWS780. I have been searching for this much details and couldn't find it before. Thank you!!!
I tried to make sense of the DeWalt manual but it is poorly written (my opinion). Your video was crystal clear and I appreciate you posting it.
r1gibbs Thank you I appreciate it. My pleasure to help. Thank you for viewing
Thank you for taking the time to make this video very informative!
Thank you so much your review is the best on RUclips 👊🏼👍🏼 I love how you show all the features and how to the proper adjustments. Onces more thanks 🙏🏼
Leo you are more than welcome. I’m happy to help. Thank you for the complement. Thank you for viewing I truly appreciate it.
The best video I have ever seen on dialing in a Dewalt saw. You have a talent for hitting all the critical points when buying tools. Very informative and very detailed. 2 big thumbs up! Only just found your channel, and honestly I have to say I subscribed as soon as I finished watching this video. Going to look at your other videos now. Keep up the great work!
Kevin, Thank you sir. Thank you for the kind and encouraging words. This is exactly why I do what I do. You can’t please everyone but if it helps a few I've done what I have set out to do. Thank you for subscribing I’m very honored.
Thanks so much for making this informative video . I just bought the DWS779 . Just my luck , out of the box and out of alignment . I'm glad I found your video , because you explained the functions of the whole saw and how to align it in a way that anyone could understand .
huntzjr you are welcome thank you for the comment and for viewing. Enjoy your new saw.
You're the best. Thanks. I've had the saw for years, but haven't finely adjusted anything until today.
The Meat
Thank you. Happy you got your tool in tune now. Hope it performs well. Thanks for viewing.
Thankyou so much! I am a woodworking novice and listening to your video has proved to be very insightful. Once again Thankyou!
Robert you are very welcome and thank you for viewing. It's my privilege to help.
Wow thank you so much for the awesome tutorial. Found the information that I needed and just kept watching it because I was learning new things about my saw!
cshadow if i can help in any way I've done my job. Thank you for the complement and thank you for viewing. Enjoy the miter saw i use mine more than i thought i would. I'm going to do an updater on the saw hopefully this month and recheck all my angles to see how it has held up plus i have a new tool to check those angles
I bought the same saw this week for Amazon. Tomorrow i will have in my home, thank you for your review. Best regards from México.
miguel ¡Feliz navidad, congrats on your new saw I’m sure you will be very happy with it. If things work out either January or February a few people and I will be heading south to work on a woman’s facility in San Vicente to remodel the room for their ladies and their children. I’ll be bringing my DeWalt and other tools for the project. We will try to do 3 rooms per trip I think we have about 25 room total to do plus a couple of bathrooms. It will be a busy year 2017. Appreciate the comment and thank you for viewing.
I just bought this saw and your video was EXTREMELY helpful. Thanks!
Howard congrats on you new tool. Happy to help. Thanks for viewing.
I was trying to decide between the Milwaukee 6955-20 and the DWS 780. Thanks to your great and informative video my DWS 780 arrived today. Can't wait to go through the fine tuning tomorrow. Thank you for helping me make a great choice.
Thank you Mike and 👍👍 congratulations on your new DWS780. I can't tell you how pleased I am with mine. I tote this thing around on jobs and cut a lot of stock and I put my woodpeckers square to it the other day and this thing it still true to the day I set it. I have no complaints. I didn't show the 45 adjustment I figure people should get the drift. So don't forget that. Dial that puppy in and get building. Thank you for viewing it's always my honor to help.
Thanks for the great video. Excellent details on the DeWalt DWS780 and correct set up method. Really helped me out.
My pleasure glad to help.
Great tutorial! Just got my 780 and you have answered all my queries. Thanks!
Just bought a used one for $125, and with your video I can now use it! Thanks!!!
Thank you for this video! It was so helpful. Ilove this saw! I really liked what you said at the end. Build it for your sanity, nothing better than getting out there and creating! Thanks :)
Thank you Sarah. I completely agree DeWalt hit a home run with this saw. There is something very therapeutic about creating. I love it so much more just building something verses building for my customers. Still enjoy it just another level. I appreciate the kind words and check back I have a vid coming out for the saw upgrading to zero tolerance inserts from infinity Tools.
Build it for your sanity.
Thank you. Great video !!. Stay healthy to continue on building stuff for your family. Cheers !!.
Thanks for covering on how tune up the saw. Just bought this the other day and the DWE7491RD table saw. First order will be to check that all the angles mitre/bevel are right on.
You're welcome and thanks for viewing Andrew. Congratulations on your new tools. Factory can do only so much, not always perfect. Good idea to always check it out assuring precision cuts.
quick tip to check the square
cut piece of woods and flip one side upside down should be perfect joint
+max121237 Absolutely correct, I’ve even straighten my framing square with a punch after scoring a line then flip the short leg to opposite side and score another and depending on which way the top flares in or out ill punch the square in or out to adjust. I just want the consumer to know the tool isn’t always set correct and to check all angles prior to starting a project to ensure a better outcome. Thanks for the in put.
Thanks much! Just starting setting up my own DWS780, and appreciate a lot all the set and check details you shared. By the way, the Film BA shows too in the well thought out script and structure of the video. Again, thanks much.
Thanks sir! Im new in these kind of tool. You help me a lot. Again thanks from Puerto Rico.
TheCarlos12840 it is my pleasure thank you for viewing. Woodworking has no borders. For the last 7 years we've bee doing a lot of mission work in San Vicenta remodeling a facility that houses abandoned women and their children. We are trying to go to Guatemala but things haven't worked out yet. Puerto Rico would be fantastic. I've learned to never say never we could end up anywhere even Puerto Rico. enjoy your fantastic toll Carlos
Excellent video especially fine tuning bevels. I love details and you provided me with some really good info.
I appreciate the kind words thank you very much. I know it was long but 10min I couldn't cover everything about this tool. Factory sets the tool best they can but I'm weird about precision and like my cuts straight and true. I want to let people know all its features and how to check its cuts and adjust so that cuts are precise at every angle. If I helped you familiarize yourself with the tool and adjusted properly then I accomplished what I set out to do. Thank you so much for viewing and I appreciate the input, enjoy your tool.
Ah great video, wish I watched it last night. I bought the DW715 yesterday, played and worked with it all day.Will get one of those engineering rulers.Many thanks
Victoria thank you for viewing. I will be doing an update very soon on this saw and anything I've com across after a year plus of use. Also i have a new tool i will compare it to the digital tool i use to dial in my saw. it will be interesting to see how close this tool is for accuracy.
Sweet !
This was an absolute awesome video. Big thank you for making a detailed video.
dwoodog it's my pleasure and thank you for viewing and the kind words.
I just got this saw and was doing the calibrations for tweaking up the miter and bevel angles.
For the bevel, I measured the angles by using the blade with a digital angle ruler like yours. One span of the ruler on the base and the other span lined up against the blade. The 0, 22.5, & 45 degree left bevels were a bit off so I made the adjustments. I made sure that the ruler was totally flush against the blade and not on the side of a saw tooth.
Then when I did some practice cuts on real wood (2×4’s and MDF pieces), the angles were slightly off but extremely consistent. The 0 degree cut was off by 0.3 degrees, and the 22.5 and 45 by about the same. Noting the direction by which the bevel cut was either too shallow or deep, I tweaked the adjustments so that he actual cuts on wood gave 0, 22.5, and 45 degrees.
I made sure the ruler was zeroed out and calibrated throughout and made these measurements all a few times to make sure and check if they were consistent, and they were. I also used a 7” square to confirm the 0 degree cut on the wood - the cut was flush with the later empirical adjustment for the actual wood cut, whereas it was slightly off with the angle ruler 0 degree set on the blade.
Now when I measure the blade with the digital angle ruler, it is off by the amounts that the cuts were off before, which is what you would expect if things are consistent.
Question is: Why is there a difference between what is measured with the ruler calibration on the blade, vs. how it actually cuts? Does the high RPM on the blade change the blade aspect or something? Does the force between the blade and the wood change the blade aspect?
I got lucky, mine was all zero straight out the box, checked with square and digi angle finder like you, excellent video mate 😎
Great video! Three plus decades wood working I'm sure that I've gone thru a couple dozen similar saws. All older versions this is only my second double compound, so far none of which have been quite as nice as this one. I got rid of that single saw horse stand, bought two ***PROTOCOL SH-42 folding saw horses*** I LIKE THESE MUCH BETTER!!! I simply prefer building my own custom cut stations and I like them to be much more stable! I also double check all adjustments pretty much anytime the saw is moved or at each cut station move.
Those claps are available at Home D or most building supply stores. I believe I saw them on amazon for about 30 bucks per pair. I might have used mine once or twice and it was during first few set ups. I probably won't use it again. I still prefer to make my own cutting table jigs, stops clams etc etc I build them into my custom cut stations.
I'm with you, SO FAR I LOVE THIS TOOL! I've had mine for a little over a year and it's been one bad ass saw. IME so far it's been worth every last penny.
Great review and unboxing of this tool. There are a lot of little features and adjustments not found on most of the older saws. I'm pretty dam sure that you covered each and ever single one of them.
Im with other commentators here Dewalt should be paying you for this review!!! I'd certainly hope that they send you one of those clamps LOL!
If not I'll give you mine.
You are Salt of this world bro . Appreciate . Good luck and long life .
meechu thank you that is a humbling complement. It means much. Than you and than you for viewing.
Very helpful. Thank you for taking the time to make your vid for us all
James DeBesse It was my pleasure Glad it helped. Thank you for viewing.
nice video and thanks for the tunning advice.....this is an old vlog and the dws780 is an old model but i brought this last year because of the reviews and i wasnt dissapointed...its a beast.....most of my tools are on battery, was tempted to go for a battery makita but i think this was the better option for my use.
Thanks. The video was extremely informative. I still have some fine tuning, but it cuts very nicely and accurately. Thanks again.
Stephen Kanowsky
You are welcome. Happy to help. This is a great tool and still to this day it cuts just fine. Congrats and enjoy. It will serve you well.
What a great video, thank you. I just got mine and I hate reading manuals.
shayne sabala you are very welcome. Happy to help. Congrats on the new saw thanks for viewing.
Great video!! Only issue I found out about this saw is the adjustment to alignment up the sides the screw is under the guards, if you make and miter saw station and have extended fence can’t line up with the guards because the guards have to come off to aligning from time to time.
Thank you sir this is an excellent tutorial video as I just opened up my saw.
RF your very welcome and congrats on the saw. After my initial set up I’ve had no issue what so ever. Absolutely love this saw. Found another material clamp on ebay now I’m a happy camper. Thanks for viewing, enjoy that saw and get building.
Excellent work my friend. I just got a DWS779 and this video will help me tremendously. The manual was worthless and cryptic, but you covered the basics and the advanced fully and clearly. And apparently the 779 can be modified and the XPS led light added for around 60 bucks, so I might do that at some point. I didn't see a point of getting the 780 just for the light for $250 more. The only other thing I noticed that is different on the 779 is that it doesn't have an on/off switch. Same exact saw for the most part otherwise.
You're better than the manual. Thanks man! Oh and btw, I totally agree about the 1 material clamp. Thought the same thing when I opened it for the first time. 2 would be amazing and should just come standard. But this saw is AMAZING.
You definitely won on the DeWalt vs the Ridgid, it's a really nice piece of equipment! My company has 4 already, and we will keep buying them. They last forever, and you can just tell they engineered them very well, from the moment you use one. Thanks for the instructional brother!
+mastermetalshredder I may have had a few issues with their drills and drivers but there is NO issue with this tool. Going from my 15 year old Delta 10" miter saw to this is like going from a VW bug to a Maserati Ghibli. DeWalt Got this right.
+The Shack Haha Agreed!! Welcome to the future my friend, lol
This is the best alignment video ever
I wound up with the 779 from Home Depot. It was on special for 349 when I got home and I almost paid 400 for it in the Keys, glad I waited. One of the guys we worked with down there had the 780 and I loved it and I also loved the shadow line. Lasers are absolutely worthless and a gimmick. I found online that you can spend 50 bucks and get the LED, 780 handle and the power supply for the 780 and make your own in 5 minutes. I ordered my stuff already and have used the saw for a month. I'm going to wait until summer before I violate my warranty and convert my 779 to a 780. Just want to make sure I work any bugs out. Also, if you want to do crown stops, for some reason the Dewalts are always out of stock. The Bosch set can be purchased for 16 dollars shipped and all you need is 15 minutes, a tap set and you're done. The 780, 779 and 782(lowe's number for the 779) are amazing saws. If you don't care about the shadow line, get the 779 or 782 because these saws are 100% the same saw, except for the shadow line LED. Awesome saw for the cash, seriously. This is the review that got me thinking, then one of our carpenters brought one and I loved it. We had the new Makita 36v cordless and while it's an amazing saw, it's only a 10 inch and I really need the 12.
Satchmo i may have gotten a LOT of slack for my review of DeWalts dill and impact but this is one tool they got right. I agree i came from a Delta 10" chop saw that really couldn't go all the way through a 4x4 plus it just wasn't true any more really worn out so this was a major need. 12" was the only option for me. I am nothing less than impressed and very happy with it. As you stated lasers are crap love this shadow sight. Hope it all works out for the upgrade. Thanks for viewing.
Thank you. This video is precisely what I was looking for! I order the digital square too. ¡Muchas gracias!
Fred you are welcome thank you for viewing.
thanks for the inform / bless u and family have a nice new year!!!!!!
Victor you are welcome Merry Christmas and have a happy New Year
관심있게 보고 있는 제품이었는데, 자세한 리뷰 감사합니다. ^^
지켜봐 줘서 고마워. 귀하의 언어가 아니더라도. 의견을 보내 주셔서 감사합니다.
i hope the google translate did this good
Fabulous work on this video! Succinct and thorough. Others should learn from The Shack!
Andrea Feather
thank you I'm humbled. Thanks for viewing.
Great video! Don't understand why only one material clamp is included. Your right, for $600 it should have come with two. Makes sense to have one on each side.
Tony Arias
I've taken some slack but once i received the 2nd clamp I purchased I use them all the time. It's nice to NOT have to remove the one clamp and reposition it to the other side with 2 you just camp when needed without the hassle. YES for the cost 2 should come with the saw. The convenience out weights the cost.
@@TheShackHome I appreciate the video. You explained alot of things about the miter saw that others didn't. Thank you.
Did you ever complained to dewalt? And what was their response?
Thanks for the great video, i just bought one, looks nice.
Congrats!! You will completely enjoy it. I find myself using this more and more. I will say the blade that comes with this saw is good. But, after laying over 500 square feet of wood flooring my blade is dull. I just didn't have time prior to the installation to get a different blade . So if you plan on any wood floor install do yourself a favor and buy another blade. Other than that, this saw has performed flawlessly. Enjoy thank you for the compliment and I appreciate you viewing
I was impressed by Bosch GCM12GDL saw demonstration...
I looked at the Bosch but after much thought personally simplicity is better. Just like a car too many gadgets more to go wrong. To me same holds true for my tools. The slide is just that simplicity. Think about it, the Festoll $1500.00 miter saw also has the slide system. The Bosch has 6 different pivot points that’s a lot of places to wear out vs. 2 tubes. If your space limited, with occasional use Bosch is probably a good fit. Only with regular use time will tell. Thank you for viewing. If you’re shopping for on just make sure your happy with it. That’s what counts.
thx man, 10000x better reading the manual! very well done sir, and then showing us how to calibrate it. . .THANK YOU!
In my opinion, this is the best and most reliable slide miter saw to date. I have used festool kapex, hitachi, makita corded and cordless. I had one of these saws back in 2006 and it took an absolute beating for 5 years. even towards the end it was still cutting trim work perfectly. One day it just started smoking but like i said it took nearly 6 years of abuse. I have recently 2017 gone back to this saw just because it was so good to me before. the only thing i will say is that it is quite heavy, and if you are doing trim work like i do now day in day out on 2-3 story fit outs it can become tiresome. But the so many benefits outweigh that only negative, if you want to call it that.
I LOVE THIS SAW!! Oh and i prefer to have the guard removed, but i do that with all of the mitre saws i have owned.
Dave i totally agree with you but i have to say the weight is great for me. I have an old Delta 10" chop saw that i used for many years and that thing is solid iron and HEAVY. I think i got a hernia from it ;) Seriously it was heavy and only a 10" chop saw. To me this is a feather compared but I will admit i don't use it like i would years ago. Only a lil trim finish work here and there and for framing small jobs but never up and down stairs. I think I'd get that stand with wheels if i did what you do. I use to use a wheel barrel to lug my saws and guns from my truck to the job because i got tired of carrying them.
On the guards if you don't have them and someone gets stupid they blame you. I'm old school and never had safety guards on my tools this is the first. I grew up with a respectful fear of power tools. It only take a fraction of a second and you can loose a finger, hand or worse. In wood class it all started and a few years in a machine shop on mills and lathes then the cabinet shop I took to heart what the experienced guy told me and never got cocky paid attention and treated my tool with respect.
I have to admit, i am being a little picky on the weight. i did just have the festool kapex and that thing is light as a feather. Exactly the same here i come a family of carpenters and they never had guards, because i work on my own and im the only one using my tools it is my preferred method, i like the comment about the respectful fear of power tools. I think anybody with real passion and respect for there trade should think like this, i sure do. my great uncle didn't loose his fingers until he was in his late 70s.
After all that time & effort getting my miter set up on the rolling stand (sold separately) it took me a good 30-45 minutes just to figure out how to LIFT the saw by releasing the lock-down pin. (see around 6:30 in this video) For someone who's never used a miter saw and is not mechanically-inclined as the saying goes, a "lock-down pin" could mean many things. I do wish the manual authors would include such seemingly trivial diagrams for us greenhorns, but thankfully we have entered the _RUclips Tutorial Age_ ...... just before the _Age of Social Distancing_ ......
Well Gabe welcome to the RUclips tutorial age enjoy that great saw. I wish i has wheels on my stand. Now just experiment and build it for your sanity. You are now officially a woodworker, Welcome.
Your video was really helpful! Thank you!
Great detailed video, VERY helpful. Thank you sir,
Great video. Considering a Dewalt for my first miter saw. Trying to decide what model to go with at the moment.
davva just make sure its the one you want. never buy just based on what someone else tells you. do your research and weight the options and your budget then think just what you will use it for.The material you'll be cutting. I cut 4x4, 2x4, 2x10 and up to 4x10 so i needed a 12"miter saw to cut more width and thick material. Do you need only miter cuts for base molding, door frames, picture frames and such then a 10" miter will do but i use the bevel cut for fascia board repairs and crown molding so i need a more capable dual compound miter saw with more function. Set your budget know your need and function get the appropriate model and you'll be happy. It doesn't matter brand or model its what fits you.
This is clear and very helpful. Thanks!
Ted you are welcome> Thank you for watching

Thanks for sharing this information
GOOD DETAILED STUFF
Thank you John A bit long but i try to inform as much as possible Thank you for viewing
Thanks for your reply, I just wanted to pass on info about a zero clearance throat plate I ordered and just installed in my saw. It is made by Infinity Cutting Tools from Oldsmar Fl. This is a top shelf product, very well made, much better than the yellow plastic ones that came with the saw. Found it on you tube.The item number is 100-333 ($59.90) and wooden replacement inserts item number 100-333ip 2 piece ($9.90) It changes the saw from a Cadillac to a BMW. Highly recommended..Mike
Wow how crazy that is exactly what I ordered for mine as well. I like some of the things from infinity. I always have a scrap for the back fence for the same thing. It help a lot. I especially like how the new inserts are made with the bevel cut making changing a snap. Slide out and slide in. Great sir maybe I should do an update on this thanks for the info if people read the comments it just might help someone. Thanks again
I’m reading the comments!!!! Just bought this saw and you answered every question I had, and thanks for taking the time to 0 it in and show us!!!!! Fantastic video make another!!!!
Great review video

Also, even though I've been a carpenter for 25 years, I had no idea there were digital protractors out that were at a reasonable price. I wound up with the Husky brand for like 24 dollars on sale. Awesome tool. I keep my old one in the garage now and the digital one stays in my tool bin in the work van. Damn that thing saves me grief on screwy corners when I am doing base and shoe. Thanks for showing that to us.
Satchmo glad to help. you are very welcome.
Speaking of Shack, Years ago my Dad started up an upholstery shop and he named the business 'Tack Shack'
I never intended to do this but my mother is very materialistic and when I bought the place I’m at, the shop in the back she referred to it as a shack because it didn't meet her standards, so it just stuck. Tack shack could also mean a shop for saddles bridles and such. Great name though. Looks like you may like model railroading. I may start that up again next year I have a lot of stuff and still have my old Lionel from the early 60's. Appreciate the view and the comment mrk107
Your welcome! I clicked on your video because I'm looking to get a good miter saw. Thanks for the review.
Great Video one of the best on this saw on You Tube. One question, if my saw blade on the left side is at 90 degrees and on the right it is at 89.7 degrees. How do I get it to 90 degrees on both? I think my blade is twisted? thanks!
Glenn if you take the angle on one side of the blade and without rotating the blade and take the angle on the other side not hitting the carbide tip of the blade. It should read equal there’s no way the blade could be twisted on one side and not the other I would take a straight edge check the base see if one side is not equal to the other
thank you for your tutorial video
almario tolentino you are quite welcome. Thank you for viewing.
So helpful. Thank you very much
Jason Conley you are very welcome. Thanks for viewing.
Thank you very much, very useful video tutorial. Is the depth stop functional enough and accurate enough to produce consistent equal depth cuts to allow a mortise or trench to be excavated ? Eg is a 2 inch deep cross cut mortise possible in a 4 inch beam ? Considering buying one but need a good depth stop, without any flex in the saw arm to ensure even depth flat cross cuts. Thanks.

I have used this for that very thing. For lap joint when framing. Notching 4 x 6 for for 2 x 6 floor joist for a deck. But like a table saw you won't get the smooth cut as you would with a dado set up. Like a tablesaw you make multiple cuts then with a hammer break them all out then with a chisel smooth out the joint. For construction this fantastic. if you're wanting a close fit mortise & Tenon joint you may need to really take your time and fine tune it with a chisel. The setting itself is quite consistent.
Best video I have seen on this saw. Do you experience any flex when the saw is fully extended?
Thank you Larry. No i haven't experienced any yet. After 2 years the slides are as solid as day 1.
19:34 ...... you're good.....great video - thanks for the effort.

Hey man. Really appreciated and learned from your video about the DWS780.Buying one tomorrow used and I am no carpenter, so it was great to see how I can adjust what will most likely be a saw a little out of whack.What was the make of that digital square. I am not surprised they make them just never have seen one. How much are they.Thought it was real important how you ended the video with some heartfelt sentiment around our creativity being good for those around us but also for our own sanity in a pretty f....d up world (my words). Not enough love being generated and your willingness to put some out there is even more important to me than the review itself.Very CoolThank YouWolf
Thank you for the kind words, completely appreciated. The digital square can be found at any hardware store. I think it was around $20 hopefully the saw was taken care of and still has the owner’s manual. If not here is a link to a general manual from Home Depot. Take your time get familiar with it, cut a few scrap pieces and enjoy. Thank you for viewing and if you have any more questions just ask.
Excellent, thanks great video
George you're welcome thank you sir for viewing
Great video.
Jack thank you I truly appreciate it
Great video, thank you.
@jeffrose2402 my pleasure thank you for viewing.
Can anyone confirm if this saw is good for baseboard, trim etc is it accurate. I will be cutting 2x4 and some larger material too but mainly need it for trim and baseboard. Concerned about flex.
Excellent video. I appreciate the walk through on how to do the setup. One quick question now that you've had the saw for a month or so. On quite a few of the reviews of this mitre saw (some as far back as 3 years, others more recent) a big complaint about the saw is how bad the sliding mechanism is. Complaints of tightness, wobbling, grinding....just generally not smooth at all. Have you found this to be true?
+B Wilie I’ve had no issue as of yet. I was aware of the reviews stating this issue prior to buying mine. There are close tolerances as far as the slid design so I knew getting this it wouldn’t slide easy. I personally don’t want it to be that easy or loose. Note the rotation of the blade so some resistance in this case is a good thing but it does slid very smoothly. I’m really anal about my tools so after every use I blow it off and wipe it down every time. Plus the older reviews are also older models DeWalt continues to improve on their design so they may have tweaked the slide. Only time will tell. I took 7 months researching before I bought this model and id do it again with the same results.
+The Shack Sounds good. I'm probably heading down to the store to buy one tomorrow. I appreciate the quick reply!
Great review. I just picked up this same saw because of your reviews but when I pull the trigger on mine I see sparks from the vents on the motor housing. Is this normal for this saw or should I exchange it?
MrJasonch if the sparks are flying out of the motor housing No back in the day the old corded drill if you pull the trigger you would see sparks from the motor but not coming out. I’d take it back. Better sad then sorry.
Anyone know what the large screw on the left side in front of the bevel gauge is for?
