    thanks for keeping the back ground music column low. to many videos have music blasting .

      @Grimmeute  2 года назад +1

      Yeah it’s hard to regulate that. In editing it will sound fine. Then you upload to RUclips and sit back and watch and it’s blasting. And sometimes you can’t hear it at all. It’s not consistent at all.

    Just FYI. The extension stops are backwards the way you have them assembled. The one with the small tabs on the back goes on the same side as the wheels and is used to help stand it up while folded.

    • @Grimmeute

      Yes I figured that out after. Didn’t pay attention when I was popping them in, until till later.

    Out of the box was the saw blade "Square/True" - 90 degrees - to cutting surface? Did you need to reset/recalibrate any of the degree )45 / 15 / etc) pre-sets?

    Okay, did you leave those rubber feet on the bottom of the saw when you mounted it? Doesn’t seem very level when I sit my saw on the stand. There’s a video showing a kit you can get to make it sit level without torquing the runners you attach the saw too

    Nice review of this saw, and also a nice how to with the Herc stand. So what made you choose this saw instead of the "tried and true" Dewalt DWS779? I'd really be interested because I'm about to pounce on this saw and stand combo myself!

    • @Grimmeute
      @Grimmeute  4 года назад +7

      Dude I went dang near a year back and forth on this. 😂 go to Lowe’s slide the Dewalt on its rails, rising it up and down, twisting the turn table on it’s different angles, making saw noises (haha). Then go to Harbor freight and do the same thing. Look at the price difference. And the more I did this. The more I started thinking it’s just as good of feel and quality seemed as well. So a year of that and my wife and daughter going, OMG!!! just buy it already!! We are getting tired of watching you do this every time we come here. I just feel in love with it. I’ve always been a Dewalt lover but I took a chance and don’t regret it.

    I like how you opened the box from the bottom but you must realize that some idiot following the same procedure is going to end up throwing out the accessories contained in the styrofoam on the topside of the cardboard box because they didn't see it when they didn't open the box as the company intended it to be opened.

    • @Grimmeute

THIS HAS SAVED YOU S LOT OF TIME AND MONEY!! Why you may ask?! BECAUSE I would have called you and spent hours on the phone with a rep to help me understand this tool. You need to either hire this man or pay him for saving you A LOT of money!! Oh and yeah also my time hasn’t been wasted on the phone with you. Again thank you mr gentleman for helping me assembly this saw (and also the stand)!!

      Ok I had to go back and watch it again see what you mean lol. Miter saws just gives you a smother cut if you make couple of passes. Believe me, it will cut that in one pass.

    • @Grimmeute
      @Grimmeute  4 года назад

      Craig R not at all. Except the day we shipped it along with some heavy glass top desk that collapsed on the saw. It beat it up real good. But it still worked fine. I didn’t like it being beat up since it was pretty much brand new. I went to Harbor Freight and they exchanged it without hesitation. I have video of that too.
