Dewalt Dws779 Sliding Miter Saw Updates

Moving around to the back, you’ll find a three pronged bevel lock knob. I like the oversized design, however, I found it a challenge to get a comfortable grip. I think a traditional two pronged dewalt Hand tools approach here might be better—keeping the size and the outward angle of the handle. Considering that unlocking or locking the bevel takes all of 3 seconds, this certainly isn’t a deal-breaker.

Now let’s look at how easily each stand can be stored. All three stands fold up to make them easier to be stored, but the 723 model takes up the least amount of space, occupying a 6 x 70-inch envelope when folded. It is the only one on this list to have rolling wheels on the bottom. This makes moving and setting up your job even easier. Even with the robustness, it can still be easily folded up and stored. It’s also worth noting that its aluminum construction makes it really light so it can be carried around the shop.
