Dewalt Dws779 Sliding Miter Saw Updates

Aside from weight issues, both cord and cordless miter saws excel in doing the bevel cuts you need for your hobby. As this is a corded miter saw, you should expect to use it more towards heavy-duty work than lightweight tasks. If you don’t use your power saw regularly, you may want to go for a cheaper miter saw to save money on your power tools.

Some bad reviews, such as the UPS delivering at the wrong time, while unfortunate, aren’t relevant to the product’s quality. Something like it being over 50 pounds is more of the consumer’s fault, as they did not understand what they bought. Typically, you buy a saw that lasts a long time or a cheap saw that is easily replaceable.

Feel free to ask any questions you have about these three s, leaving these in the comments at the bottom of the article below, and I’d be more than happy to assist you. Want to read the entire article, but a bit short on time? I’ve created a quick overview of the best DeWalt miter saws below for your convenience.

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!).

This is particularly useful for cutting elaborate angles such as in crown moldings.

You’re splitting hairs here as many of Dewalt’s miter saws look alike. However not only does the Hercules Miter saw resemble the Dewalt DWS780 saw the most, it attempts to copy the DWS780’s feature set as closely as possible too.

If that didn’t matter, HF wouldn’t have made the Hercules look like Dewalt’s. They are basically trying to milk any profits they can from the Dewalt dewalt tools name. The saw weighs 56 lbs., folds to a compact size and retails for $599. People have been asking for an update to the 7 1/4″ 20v for a while .

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.
