The balls or rollers take the load and spin, distributing the weight evenly while the minimal contact area of the ball reduces friction. This reduces wear on the tool and allows it to run smoothly. Bearings experience constant wear when the tool is in operation from pressure, heat, vibration and friction. Because of this, many Bearings need periodic maintenance or replacement.
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.

They’re never as simple as a circular saw to begin with. The bolts that need to be loosened to move the blade guard plate out of the way fit tight. I needed to produce some pretty significant torque to move it. The blade change wrench leaves you trying to grip the short end.
It has 3 screw holes on each side to firmly secure the kerf plate to your saw. rnrnKerf plates are used to prevent excessive splintering, resulting in cleaner cuts. Using the wrong kerf plate for your tool can give a rough edge to the material you’re cutting.

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!).
No adjustments were needed for the miter or bevel factory settings which was a nice surprise. After six months of use we continue to be impressed with the saws accuracy and precision even though we use it for both rough framing and finish work. We’ve used the saw cutting exterior trim, decking, interior oak stair treads, and interior trim with great success. Again, I’d compare this saw to any of the DEWALT saws we’ve been using on the job for years. This is perhaps the smallest in the miter saw series but delivers real power and toughness when it comes to its utility. It weighs about 43 pounds and armed with a carbide blade and a blade wrench.
The Dewalt is the best option due to its capacity and is budget-friendly. It comes with a stainless steel plate, which is easy to adjust. The longevity and quality of a table saw are expected to stand out.
