DeWalt Heavy Duty Miter Saw Stand | Assembly and Review

[@ticklefritz5406]

You're going to want to put the work support and stop pieces out on the extension arms, that's kind of the point, but I'm sure y'all figured that one out.

[@charleslopez9472]

specifically, put the curved rounded oval plate into the black end channel rather into the main beam silver channel

[@victoriaaltman9178]

This is the first video ( and I have watched several) I have seen that actually shows where the bolts go and why there is a shorter bolt. Thank you!!

[@AJSWoodworks]

You’re welcome! I’m glad I could help.

[@betlo87]

I swear man!…😵‍💫…I was losing my mind trying to find one! Thank you for the vid.

[@jasonwojcik]

Thank you for this video. Your instructions fill in a lot of gaps that the instructions didn't have for assembly. It isn't Dewalt's fault, it is stuff that you can't well.

[@SVisionary]

Really appreciate this. I was starting to scratch my head if I was mounting it correctly. The manual left much to be desired. Thanks for confirming my suspicions. The fact that it has double holes on each corner is what confused me. The manual left much to be desired.

[@robrob7011]

The manual has the older previous model numbers for mounting. I also am looking for confirmation about mounting the 779

[@TommyBowerscoasters]

Life saving video! I don't follow written instructions well, and most instructional videos are not even close to this. Thorough, and I got the job done! New subscriber btw!

[@AJSWoodworks]

Thank you! I’m glad it helped

[@gmoney5947]

I assembled mine but wanted to see you mount the miter saw !

[@battlehammer4023]

This was helpful. I have a slightly different model of Miter saw stand and couldn't figure out how to put the legs away.

[@thouveninvijayan3073]

Thank YOU ! The montage explanations werent clear at all, that's better now ! And it's a nice piece of equipment

[@ragtop91]

Good video. I bought one used without instructions.

[@Cymru1987]

Don't worry, the instructions don't explain sht, or show you sht, nor make it simple and easy enough to understand. Probably was written by an illegal, then slapped into google-translate.

[@DonybrookandBray]

Thanks really helpful v instructions supplied with either stand or mitre saw..!

[@lchurch0174]

I added one of the work support and stop pieces on the extension arms so I have long on one side short on the other...but was disappointed that the point of contact with the bolt/flat piece that holds the work support to the extension arms mounts against plastic instead of metal.

[@steveeab2364]

Mine didn't come with the extensions and work supports...thanks dewalt

[@adubs22]

Would it be easier to install the backets on the bottom of the saw before attaching to the stand?

[@AJSWoodworks]

Either way would work fine, but the brackets would not be lined up with the tracks that way.

[@marianomarquet8795]

Thanks for the video. I bought one and I wasn't sure if I was luttong it together coreectlty. The instructions are a joke, hahah. Normally, dewalt has a bug manual with a lot of info. Not in this case. Mine only came with the button screws that fit like a nut inside the holes on the saw

[@NorthernProductions886]

thanks Dude, great Video

[@norvern479]

Great video thanks for sharing. The instruction booklet is worse than a well known Swedish furniture store one 😂

[@alao3]

Thanks for the instructions, however, the support/stop brackets should be mounted at the end of the extension arms and not on the end of the main rail so as support/stop longer boards.

[@AJSWoodworks]

They are currently on the ends of the main rail on mine. However, I don’t do a lot of long boards anyway.

[@cervelott]

Excellent, thanks!

[@blimeylimey13]

Don’t you install the stopper on the extension?

[@AJSWoodworks]

Yes, Although they can also be installed on the main section

[@Fedgery007]

So helpful! Thank you!

[@KnuckleSandwichMint]

Good review! Thank you!

[@robertoescamilla5038]

Thanks so much

[@TimMacPA]

I agree with the others, the instructions suck! As for the stand itself, mine doesn't wobble at all, it is very sturdy. My problem was, the hardware bage was open and empty. It was all in the box, sliding around. There was one washer missing. Also, the bolt that holds one of the black end caps on was not installed right and stripped the threads. Great video!

[@jamesbarrett8490]

With all respect, the carriage bolt holding the saw goes in from the bottom and fits into the slot which holds the carriage bolt, that’s why a carriage bolt is supplied.

[@JustinMentionedIt]

I just noticed my bolt bag came with 5 bolts, 4 was the long all same size with washer and lock washer but the 5th was a short bolt no lock washer and no washer

[@AJSWoodworks]

I talk about that in the video. You have the option of using the short bolt or a long bolt depending on orientation.

[@JustinMentionedIt]

@@AJSWoodworks yeah I seen where you talked about it but you made it sound like it comes with the option to use short bolts or long bolts as in yours came with 4 long ones and 4 short ones

[@deadliftD]

​@@JustinMentionedIt ​​The instructions say to reference the hardware selection chart. But that chart doesn't make sense because only one short bolt is provided yet for several saws it says to use it on one of the sides, which require two. I have the 780/782 and it says to use short bolts on the right side. Well, there's only one and there doesn't seem to be a reason why a short bolt is needed anyway. I used the four long bolts.

[@cervelott]

Short screw is for DW717 saw, left side. See page 3 of instructions….head on bottom.

[@PerfectSnowball]

Do you always leave the mounting brackets on the saw - even when you're not using the stand?

[@AJSWoodworks]

I do, but I don’t use the saw without it being on the stand.

[@chrisbanks3175]

Why not just mount the mounting brackets to the saw first? And you mentioned putting the mounting bolt with the head up or down. Should always be down as to not interfere with the saw sliding back and forth.

[@AJSWoodworks]

As far as whether to mount the mounting brackets to the saw first, it can actually be easier to mount it once the brackets are already on the stand because they are lined up perfectly and you have some thing a little higher up to work with. I mentioned having the mounting bolts head up her head down, as this is an option depending on what bolt you use.

[@PerfectSnowball]

The instructions specifically say the heads should be facing up - you just use the shorter bolts IF they impede your saw's swivel function.

[@deadliftD]

​@@PerfectSnowballactually, the instructions say to reference the hardware selection chart. But that chart doesn't make sense because only one short bolt is provided yet for several saws it says to use it on one of the sides, which require two.

[@markflajsner9944]

It would have been more interesting to see you mounting the saw on the stand as that is the most tricky part, anyways thanks for the video.

[@terrymiller8597]

o.k. bye now

[@jamesbarrett8490]

I just bought one , that’s how I know.

[@elou795]

👍

[@MyOathCobLoaf]

Is the reason you didn’t cut anything because after the video you took it back for a refund.

[@AJSWoodworks]

@@MyOathCobLoaf No, I kept it. It didn’t have problems. It has come in handy for multiple projects

[@Toaster-v1z]

$100? It's 200 at Home Depot.

[@AJSWoodworks]

It may have been a promotion at the time.

[@Toaster-v1z]

@@AJSWoodworks looks like it's definitely worth 100. My saw is similar to yours and I just use it around the house for projects but I really need something to set it on.
