You can’t beat the DeWalt slider saws! I’ve got one I’ve been using for 10 years. Still cuts like the day I bought it!

[@willbee6785]

A straight to the point illustration. Love it.

[@gearjunkies2193]

As others have said, AMAZING video. Recently picked up this saw and was looking for concise video summarizing the features, you got er’ done. Thank you 🙏🏽

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

Thanks for watching!!

[@TrevorDandy.]

I have this exact setup and I’m here because the stand finally gave out yesterday. I bought the direct replacement DWX726 (updated) stand. It’s slightly improved over my old one. But the old one was now 15 years old! I can’t saw enough about this saw/stand combo. It’s tough as hell and easily the best saw I’ve used

[@JDT64]

Really top notch video. Concise, well explained, no annoying music. Well done.

Thanks for the video, I just ordered my first miter saw, the 780 along with the compact stand.

[@ragcell]

I encourage you, or anyone else, to get the DeWalt DWX726 Rolling Miter Saw Stand. These are ~$250, but can be purchased from Open Box (OBA, etc.) dealers for $110±. These are a one-time purchase item and likely will last as long, or longer, than your saw. These are great for smaller shops because they have a “fold-up” option. I’ve had the DeWalt DWX723 Heavy Duty Miter Saw Stand version for years. It was the ‘typically DeWalt great’ construction, but its sprawling legs just took up too much floor space in my small shop. These are generally about $25-$50 more (a lot less expensive if you can find an Open Box version) than the DeWalt DWX726. So, for a little bit more, would be a more versatile, smaller-foot print stand: definitely worth the extra expense and with more 'options.'

[@terrysalmonsen3646]

Fantastic review. Just found your channel. Love it

[@SurviveTheDay]

This is an informative video. No paper manual could do as good a job. Dewalt should pay you and put a link to this video in their Getting Started Guide.

[@renemiller3182]

This is the best, most detailed instruction manual on this saw. The video is stellar and easily relatable to the function of the actual saw. Well done and thanks.

Excellent video. Helped me in choosing which Dewalt mitersaw model I will purchase. Your description of each feature plus the how to calibrate the blade was very helpful. You got a new subscriber and can't wait to view rest of your videos.

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

Glad the video helped! Welcome and thanks for watching!

[@MadLadsAnonymous]

Your reviews are always so thorough! I hope you review the 60V DCS781 with regen braking and compare accuracy and features with the Flex 24V miter saw.

[@ParrotHead1809]

[@NashvillePastaman]

Thought the exact same thing

[@GoodVibesOnly1914]

I mainly got this saw for building a timber frame shop out of roughcut with dimensional luber, i cant wait to use it with the gigantic stand that came with it for big beams vs my old 10" kobalt with cinderblocks lol

[@jasonsgrowingtree5764]

Beautiful bike brother, and the orangie cat as well. Blessings

[@NashvillePastaman]

I have been using that saw for almost 10 years….. just got the new stands though…. I watched your whole vid …. And really enjoyed it….. ps… hope you get one ….. you will use it more than that Harley !!!

[@JasonsFourCamFox]

I bought an almost exact saw back in December, mine is the DWS779, looks like it's the model without the light, which I wasn't aware of until I saw this video... At the time, the saw was $450 with the at the time free (normally $300) DWX723 DeWalt Aluminum Adjustable Miter Saw Stand, which is another awesome addition! Like your DeWalt Table Saw video, this one is another great one!

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

That’s a sweet deal on another good DeWALT saw! Thanks for watching!

Hello Mike, cool Video. Who purchase cheep, he purchase twice. Why People should buy Crap Tools? First choose for a Tool must be in a higher Level. Iam live in Germany, iam a professional Electrician and i own a big Dewalt Fleet. DiY Friends of me has also Dewalt Stuff. And sorry for my bad English.

[@Orgelfan62]

[@woodstermangotwood]

Wow, This is the best review for this saw and stand out there. I just bought the DWX726 and the DWS779 and your video should be included with them.

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

Glad you like it! Thank you!

[@rjd8434]

Fantastic review!!! I have the 779 and as far as I can tell the only difference between the 779 and the 780 is the light. Thank you so much. I learned some things about my 779 that I didn’t know. Again thank you. Really enjoy your channel!!!

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

Glad I was able to help! Thank you!!

[@bcrusher1979]

780 has a much better motor.

[@dougfowler6898]

Have the 779, added the XPS light, which made it the 780. Then added a soft start and man, this saw is just a workhorse and can't say enough good things about this saw. There is an optional upgrade to get for dust collection from Shop Nation that is awesome as well.

[@kiwigrunt330]

The 30 degree detent is just an arbitrary 'standard', like the 15 degree setting. In the US you guys like the 31.something setting because you do a lot of crown mouldings. I have been an all-round carperter/builder for some 40 years in Dutchland and Kiwiland and have never come across crown mouldings. On the 780, it really is nice looking and feature rich machine, but at over 25kg and the size of Dodge truck, it is not for me. Size does matter. I'm still using my DeWalt version of the old Elu PS174 with a 216mm (8.5") blade. There is very little I can't cut with that size blade.

[@mminlamesa1032]

Excellent video. Pair that baby up with a FS blade and you're hard pressed to do better.

[@danclifton1165]

just bought a dewalt dw799 for $449 plus received free dewalt stand at lowes. can't wait to set them up and use. this sale ends feb 2nd.

​@ProjectsForAllReviews, my dewalt 715 is all out of alignment need help

[@michalp2362]

Great video! Picked it up at Lowe’s for $475 plus tax. Didn’t really need it at a time but I couldn’t pass on this deal.

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

[@The_Obvious_Solution]

Great vid. I'm a hobbyist and was about to pull the trigger on this. Need to replace my 12 year old 10" Craftsman miter. Definitely time. I really appreciated your inclusion of the calibration. Do you have a link to that angle detector?

[@garvielloken3929]

Nooice!

[@johnbeyke8486]

Responding to your thumbnail question “should a DIYer buy the Dewalt DS780”, I think not. This saw has a wicked kick as you squeeze the trigger and when you release it. If it’s only for DIY I would recommend a battery operated version or one with less power - it would be safer. The new Flexvolt 60 volt saw is smooth, has enough power, and has better dust collection albeit on the expensive end. A ten inch or smaller saw would do the job.

[@MacDaddy88]

Next purchase will likely be a 10in sliding saw. I don't think I have need of a 12in as a DIYer. Everything else I can do with my circular saw or sled. Very comprehensive review. Good job

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

Hey Bill! I’ll get a 10 incher for review one of these days. It’s true the 12 is bulky and heavy and it probably more than most folks need unless it’s got it’s own station and never moves. Honestly I used the circ saw most of the time and only get the big saw out for large jobs with tons of miters. Thanks for the comment!

[@douglasmoore8033]

As a homeowner I guarantee you want the 12" slider unless you like cutting base flat using bevel. I can cut my 5" base standing up. Cutting anything but tiny nested crown will be a problem as well.

[@jojopotato6177]

I can't cut my 5"1/2 baseboard stand up vertically 45 degrees with a 10" saw. Unless you go for a bevel cut. But you may lose the accuracy, and it's harder too. That's why I gave up and bought this monster.

[@99birdnutz]

Any chance you've used the Skil 10 inch sliding miter saw? I would love to see you review of that saw sometime if possible. Thanks.

[@AlejandroGarcia-zq7eb]

Hello where did you bought the miter saw stand or you purchase the roller separate for the material

[@StillLivinginthewoods]

I have a 12 inch Admiral sliding miter saw from HF that cost $230, and it cuts fine and has managed to do everything that I have needed it to. BUT, there are tons of adjustments on that DeWalt that would certainly come in handy. The biggest problem I have with the Admiral is that I have to square everything up all over again every single time that I move it around, which for me is every single time that I use it. And that gets old really quick. I guess it's always a choice,...you can either spend more money, or you can spend more time.

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

Hello again! I own a lot of harbor freights stuff. When it comes to them I try to stick to things without moving parts. I have the big welding cabinet, oxyacetylene cart, 4x8 trailer. Lately I’ve been trying out some icon tools just out of curiosity. That said I was on they’re site 10 min ago looking at the table saws. I think it’s time for a budget saw review. Might do Ryobi or craftsman. Fact is HF tools sell because it’s what a lot of folks can afford and there’s nothing wrong with that. Would be cool if we could find the good stuff though. As always thanks for watching!

[@nathan1sixteen]

From my experience, HF is great for hand tools (wrenches, sockets, hammers, etc), but I’d steer clear of their power tools. I know the Herculese line has improved greatly over the past few years, but who knows what longevity looks like, and in reality, you aren’t saving a whole lot on their stuff vs DeWalt, and you know the quality of the yellow tools it top-tier.

[@StillLivinginthewoods]

@@ProjectsForAllReviews I've been looking at budget table saws lately, and the portable job site saw from Skil, with the built in legs, looks really good for the money. ($329) It has more features than the Hercules table saw from Harbor Freight that costs $400.

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

Skil sent me a couple tools to review last week. I was hoping one would be that budget table saw but they sent the 2x20v circ saw which will make a cool review vid. I was considering buying that entry level table saw to review. May still so keep an eye out

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

I agree as the prices at HF go up they look less attractive to me. I saw the $400 job saw and thought better to wait a month and save $200. For $600 you get to pick one from the top brands. Doesn’t make a ton of sense to me.

[@raylowe1092]

I have the same ridgid shop vac with a 2.5 hose but won't fit on saw, port on saw seems to be same size.

Ugh cleaning the bike sucks really bad but great saw for sure there Mr Mike!

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

I use the power washer and compressed air to dry! Takes longer to set up the tools than to wash the bike! I’ve gotten pretty lazy in my old age. You could eat off my sport bikes when I was a kid!

[@thatlisagirl71]

I bought one and really dig it….got a question for you…am I high, or is there no master power off switch and just has to be unplugged to be sure it is off?

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

Hi Lisa! Always unplug and pull out batteries to make sure the power is off. Only takes a second to do and then you know your safe. Thanks for watching!

[@pf5658]

Had my eye on this and two other brands for my next saw but still trying to decide. I think this one just moved up on my lis after watching this. You never showed how square the cuts were after calibrating though.

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

Glad I helped. Good point and we’ll do that going forward. Should have the Evolution dual slider for review soon. Thanks for watching!

[@MC31987]

What size is your rigid shop vac? And does it keep up with the saw?

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

9 gallons and it does pretty good for its 20+ year age and always clogged filter. That said, every miter saw Ive used has had pitiful dust collection including this awesome DeWALT. I use my HF dust collector when possible in vids but I should and will upgrade the shop vac soon. Thanks for watching!

[@jamesadkinsiii7925]

Just purchased this saw. Would you recommend keeping the original blade on there or going with another one? If another blade, how many teeth would you suggest?

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

Good question! I never saw the included blade for this one. My buddy only uses Diablo blades and that's what you see in the vid. How to select a blade is an important topic I probably should have made a video for already but really it comes down to what you are using it for. Most saws come with general purpose blades that work ok for most applications but don't excel at any particular one. If you're doing Rough Framing the included blade is probably fine until it wears out and then Id switch to a low tooth count framing blade. If you're going to do hobby style fine woodworking Id usually ditch the included blade for a high tooth count Fine Finish blade. Hope this helps and feel free to ask more questions. Thanks for watching!

As someone who is just starting to get into woodworking, having these detailed reviews is really nice, and really does a good job pointing out the differences between the high-end (yet still reasonably priced) tools and the more budget oriented ones. Amazing how much more tool you get for just a little bit more money

[@michalp2362]

I agree

[@afbigfish1]

great saw, crap stand. I had one and sold it after a day. The constant bending over and lifting is for the birds and begs for a back injury. Gravity type stand like the ridgid MS-UV is waaaaay better. Just step on a small foot release and it practically unfolds itself. of course the out rigger supports still want to sag which is an issue with all these stands so its no worse or better in that respect but for folding/unfolding nothing beats it. I would never buy this stand. I also have a bosch table saw on the bosch gravity stand and while its pretty good the ridgid is still easier to deploy.

[@douglasmoore8033]

600-650 doesn't seem like a hefty price tag for a slider of this quality. Now 1500 for a the festool is hefty😅 Put a good wide kerf blade on it as well.
