An UNSPONSORED Dewalt Miter Saw Review | DWS779 Woodworking Tools 

You can find this product at the link below. amzn.to/3XtETav My choice for dust collection hose and adapter. amzn.to/3iICz0D

Dust collection seems to be a weakness on virtually all miter saws. That's why I just built a shroud with a dust hood in the bottom around mine. Even that has its limitations and isn't perfect, but it did help immensely when your saw is permanently mounted in a miter station.

Thanks for this video! I have been searching for a sliding compound miter saw and Dewalt is always my go-to for tools.

I bought a machinist square to check all the angles. More reliable than a speed square.

I am an electrician(27 years). The gfci/afci combo breakers have less nuisance tripping. Especially the square d homeline if you still want the afci protection.

Great video with a concise summary including good vs bad. Definitely agree not a very portable size and weight. My older version 779 is even heavier at 67 pounds and is a workout to move.

been in the business for over 40 years, personally I have NEVER seen a dust collection out of the box on any miter saw that was any good, my current Dewalt is over 20 years old , replaced the brushes once used every day up till 3 years ago went out yesterday still works fine Makita and Dewalt are my personal preference these sliders are new to me so I cant really say much about them but the ones I have seen had crappy dust collection as well, Makita and Dewalt hold up to everyday transportation and use in my opinion better than the rest

A miter saw stand makes a WORLD of difference. There are many different styles but the style that rolls like a dolly was the preferred style.

Good review! I’ve had the same saw for about two years and have been well pleased with it. My complaints are the same. Dust collection is the weakest point of the saw. It is heavy which is good and bad but with the weight and size, it’s very awkward to carry.

Also, I just got the new dust collection adapter. The original is plastic and expodes if you get a short piece kicked up in there

This does not have a brushless motor. Pull the black end-cap off the motor and you'll see them.

I have the DW780...basically the same saw. Have had it for several years and it has the same "dust collection" set up. Truthfully, the dust collection is pitiful to nonexistent. I have tried all kinds of hose attachments and dust extractors to minimize it. Minimization of the dust is the best you can hope for unfortunately. Miter saws in general all fall into this category. Otherwise, I find mine to be very adequate and it has never failed me with anything I have asked it to cut. I hope you find the same with yours.

out of all the reviews I watched for this model, this one is my favorite. It's on sale at my local lowes so I think I'm sold.

Looks like a awesome saw.. U know they said my router is brushless but it has brushes I have the same one on my cnc a u do.. Keep it up brother..

The specs/description on the Lowe's website for the 779 says it will cut a 2x16 at 90 degrees, I don't see how, I get a good 12 inches and if I want something wider it seems I would have to flip it

Just got this tool for 399 plus free gifts the miter stand

As far as getting this saw from homedepot you get a free 80 tooth blade. You have to ask for it because most dont know but the managers are supposed to know .there is a video on RU-vid that explains it. I will find it a post it.

Have you tried to change the blade yet? My arbor bolt was seized in place from the factory, had to use vise grips to loosen it after the head stripped from being so tight. Found at least one other guy that had the same thing happen.

Well done sir

You can always add a soft start module to your table saw. I'm guessing you have the DWE7492 or it's predecessor. There are how to video's and links to the softstart module on YT. ($25)

Great review.

does it have an electric brake?

What replacement blade did you get?

Not a brushless motor. You are sadly mistaken.

Still recommend this? Thanks! Merry Christmas!!!

Hay, Siri. Tell the FBI everything I ever say.

Can I cut bricks with this machine?

What is Dewalt lying about?

31.6 is for cutting Xtra large crown moldings in the flat position.
