Super machine. All bells and whistles. Buy a fine blade at same time. Yo7 will be all set.

Setup was very easy and straightforward. Everything was perfectly square. I also bought an 80t Diablo blade for finer cuts.

This saw is a beast. For an old guy trying to put it on the DeWalt Miter Stand I will eventually need hernia surgery. Lots of people have reviewed the saw and made the comment about the 32 Tooth Blade which comes with the saw being incorrect. The 32 is a cheap blade to purchase. I would imagine this is why DeWalt includes it. I purchased the 60 Tooth and the 80 Tooth and changed the blade before even using the saw. The saw works extremely well and is very precise right out of the box. The only flaw I have experienced is in changing the blade because you really have to be careful on the placement of the washer inside the hole of the blade. This may come from my inexperience in using this type of saw. I also wish that the saw had a more secure way to lock the slider into place. The knob concept really relies on making sure it is tight so that the slider will not allow creep. DeWalt needs to consider having a lock down lever to prevent movement if you wish to use the saw in a fixed position. DeWalt always comes out top in reviewer comments and this saw is definitely quality. I purchased a Rigid fixed miter saw several years ago and can compare them side by side. The DeWalt is definitely a better saw.

recently purchased this saw (to handle crown molding in older home) based on other ratings. worked excellently! unlike most other reviewers i read about, i chose to perform each adjustment before use to familiarize myself with this unit. found all adjustments to be nearly spot on but did discover a couple of things to note. first, the manual itself is very difficult to read as the numeric identifiers are small and inside a dark gray shaded box and the pictures suffer from the same type of problem. secondly, changing over the supplied blade to a finish blade seemed a bit more difficult than expected due to tight gap opening with protective guard (certainly not a game changer). third, several reviewers commented about damaging unit below the work plate: i strongly suspect they did not flip the depth stop lever which prevents the blade from going that deep and might have actually figured that out by doing the depth adjustment first, although – again- that lever is VERY difficult to see on the manual picture for reasons noted in first comment! Conclusion- great product, manual needs help.

Have a older model Dewalt Sliding compound Miter. Must be 20 years old use it several times a week cutting everything still works great. Decided I need a second one for another site. Expecting this one to be just as good. If you want XPS light kit on DWS779 you can by parts for way less than buying a DWS780 just Youtube “dewalt xps light kit for dws779”
