Questions & Answers
What is the difference between the 780 and the 779?
Asked by JJ January 31, 2016Lots of incomplete answers here. The most obvious difference between the 779 and 780 is the XPS shadow light which, as others note, you can add after the fact AS OF THIS WRITING. Dewalt has a habit of updating individual parts of a saw (you will see references to Type 1, Type 2, etc.), and from one sub-version to the next you could lose or gain features...it is even possible that one subtype might be upgradable and another is not. Case in point, the older non-sliding 12" dual bevel DW716 is upgradable and can have the XPS shadow light added to it....the latest DW716 cannot. Beyond, the XPS light, rumor has it the latest version of the DWS779 does NOT have the in between bevel stops (22 degrees, etc.), while the earlier version did. I don't know if it has the "holes" so that you could add them. IT would be REALLY disappointing if you could not add those stops. On the Dewalt website, there are some part number deltas between the DWS780 and the DWS779 which suggests there could be other "under the hood" differences as well. Finally, the blade that comes with the DWS779 is a 32 tooth blade which is barely even suitable for a miter saw - as compared to the much more versatile 60 tooth blade that comes with the DWS780. In short, for the DWS 779 you cold be looking at adding the light kit for $70 or so and a decent $50-$60 blade to bring it in line with the DWS780. It is still "worth it" to get the DWS779 IMO when compared to the full price DWS780, but when the DWS780 is on sale, that delta is a lot smaller...
How is the accuracy of this saw?
Asked by Parts February 8, 2019Perfectly accurate. If you line up the side of the blade with your line, that's where it cuts.
Can the sliding function be locked so it doesn't retract if hitting a know? That is, I don't wan...
Asked by Bruce January 9, 2021Yes. There used to be a hook that locked it in a standard non-sliding miter position. The hook is gone in the latest model (Type 22), however, there's a small black knurled knob on the top of the chassis, just short of the slide rails, which will lock the saw anywhere along the length of the rails.
Does the stand come with the saw
Asked by Jo November 23, 2018no you need to buy it separete
Dose it come with any blades?
Asked by Dougie March 20, 2020Mine arrived with a 32 tooth blade, I contacted Dewalt and they sent me a 80 tooth crosscut blade free of charge.
Can an 80-year-old woman operate this machine ?
Asked by PollyAnne July 6, 2020Yes but with the highest caution and must follow all safety requirements. This sliding miter saw is very heavy for a young muscular adult to be honest, so you should have some body to help you to attach it to a pre-built saw horse or a saw table stationarily.
do it has a lazer
Asked by joe December 18, 2020No laser attachment on this saw.
Can you rip with this saw
Asked by Randall September 30, 2019No, it’s a cross cut machine.
it this product have laser
Asked by Edison October 19, 2018No, this miter saw does not have a laser.
can i cut 5"crown molding
Asked by habiba March 16, 2019Yes, according to Dewalt this will cut crown molding up to 7 1/2".
