In job site use, we found the saw had plenty of run time to keep up with the crew throughout the day. If a crew had one extra set of batteries, they could work all day even under the most demanding applications. The DHS790AT2 is designed to run off FLEXVOLT 60V battery packs, or you can run it on AC power by simply installing the convertor that plugs into the battery pack sockets. Because the saw is running on 120V from the battery, the conversion to run off 120V AC is fairly simple to do (we REALLY wish they would do the same thing on the FLEXVOLT Table Saw!).

Offering all the features of DEWALT’s 12″ sliding compound miter saws with the option of running cordless it’s hard to compare it to any other miter saw on the market. Run time is excellent and the power it offers in the cordless mode doesn’t appear to be any different than when plugged in directly. With the recent availability of 9.0 Ah battery packs (we did our evaluation with 6.0 Ah packs), the saw will offer even great run time and versatility. We feel the $799 price is fair for a quality saw like this that offers such amazing flexibility for contractors. Double Bevel Compound Miter Saw has an integrated XPS cross cut positioning system providing adjustment free cut line indication for better accuracy and visibility.
Initial development and production costs are spread over a longer period of time. Mine has the handles and clamp, I also noticed the bevel lock is a plastic 3 wing nut, whereas the previous revision is cast metal. I have a 779 that’s a few years old now – mine came with the work clamp, but it’s not a great design and I’ve rarely used it. It’s probably my least favorite part of an otherwise awesome tool. It is a genuine replacement part and is sold individually. Ball bearings are used to reduce friction between rotating parts.
A solid warranty will protect you from buying products with manufacturing defects and give you time to try the tool before the warranty expires. The compound saws mean that the saw’s blade will be able to cut on an angle either to the left or the right, depending on whether it’s a single bevel saw or a double bevel saw. With the compound saws, you’ll be able to quickly cut wood on specific angles and create corners with your saw.
