    • Great tool
I didn't know what I was missing before I bought a 12" miter saw. The Dewalt 780 is well made and very accurate but also quick to change from cut to cut. My saw needed some tweaking on the pre-set stops but that was an easy thing to do. After that it was ready to go. The fit and finish of everything was good. The slides are a little rough at first but seem to wear in over a little bit of time. That was a concern at first and other reviews mention it as well but it doesn't seem to be a problem now. The sawdust bag works okay but has very limited capacity. The shadow light also works very well. Mine is slightly off (maybe .005) but after using it for a while it's easy to compensate. It's a great feature. I haven't looked at the manual to see it that's adjustable but it's only off by something like the width of a sharp pencil line and once you've adjusted yourself to that you can split a pencil line. The motor torque is surprisingly strong at start up. A soft start would have been better but, again, it's a very minor issue on a great saw. Purists and professionals may not love this as much as me but it's fast, easy and accurate for my needs. My radial arm saw hasn't even been turned on since I got this 780. I also bought the Dewalt stand. It works great too. The work support adjustments require some tweaking to get perfect when there's a need to change them but it's easy enough. If you have a jamb level it's REALLY easy. The extension arms work well on long material and stay pretty level even when extended way out. I've added this mini review because it's such a good companion piece with the saw. If this was lost or stolen I'd order a new one immediately. It's just incredibly fast to work with; it's easy to change the setups and the cuts are very nice. I did buy a better blade for trim work but the stock blade works fine for less delicate pieces. ... show more

    • Very, Very Nice Miter Saw
The Dewalt 780 was a great purchase. I got it at an excellent sale price around Black Friday so the cost was comparable to the 779 model which is essentially the same unit minus the XPS light...but the light is worth every penny. Unlike laser lines on some units which are notorious for going off kilter, the XPS light is mounted behind the blade and the shadow it casts is your cut line. Fool proof every time. Keep in mind you also may need to calibrate the blade. Mine was spot on 90 degrees to the fence from the factory but the bevel needed some tweaking which was actually a very simple bolt adjustment. Zero wobble on the blade which was also a nice surprise, and it performed great. Little tear out with the Dewalt 60 tooth blade on typical lumber yard pine, but the cuts were nice and smooth and spot on 90 degrees on both the vertical and horizontal, triple checked with a precision square. This thing went through some recently split Walnut, and some of the pieces were pretty big, it went right through them. Only thing I don't like is the screw clamp, they need to rethink that one, it just takes forever, and I definitely wish there was more of a base plate for wider things like uneven slabs I'd normally shim which can be jenky, but I can make some sort of an extension piece for that. Overall, super happy with the unit. I wish my table saw from another manufacturer was this trouble free. ... show more

    • Great Product!
Dewalt is the best, what else can I say. I've used this brand for years and they have never let me down. Dewalt tools are durable, well thought out and very dependable. Cut quality is great and the grip is very ergonomic and comfortable. Catching this saw on sale made it a great value for the money! Pay once, cry once. ... show more

    • Perfect Out of the Box, A Pleasure to Use
I was a little nervous after reading reviews claiming sticky slides. My DWS780 arrived in a beat-up box, but the saw was perfect when it came out of that box. Perfectly in square, both bevel and miter. The slides run as smooth as silk, not the slightest catch or crunch. I was prepared to buy a replacement blade right away, as the blades on new saws are often junk, but the 60 tooth finish blade produced cross cuts with a surface like glass. I checked the intermediate miter and bevel stops with my digital bevel gauge, and they are right on. The fences are flat (checked with a Starrett straight edge) and square to the table. The LED light is a more precise line-up device than the laser on my previous SCMS. Overall operation and cut quality are the best of any unit I've used, including some very pricey European tools. Still, it's not perfect. A soft start motor would be a worthwhile improvement, as the considerable jolt on startup is requires heavy pressure on the workpiece, which is tiring. The hold-down clamp is sloppy and difficult to tighten without shifting the workpiece. Dust collection is a joke. The dust bag is useless, and the odd size dust collection tube is too small to be effective with a ShopVac and it runs all the way to the rear of the slides, which already project way too far to mount the saw reasonable close to a wall. Update March 20, 2015 Still working perfectly after several months of everyday use. I have not had to make the first adjustment. My previous SCMS required almost daily cajoling or threats before it would deliver square cuts. The DeWalt blade is still scalpel sharp and completely vibration free. I am now completely comfortable and accurate with the LED guide light and no longer lower the saw to put a tooth on the mark before pulling the trigger. My only regret is that I didn't swap my old saw for this one years ago. ... show more
