What Customers Are Saying
This miter saw offers excellent cutting performance and accuracy, with a smooth sliding action, precise adjustments, and the ability to handle a wide range of materials. It has a sturdy, durable construction that contributes to its stability and precision. The saw provides impressive power and capacity, easily cutting through thick lumber and wide boards. Convenient features like the adjustable fence, depth stop, and dust collection system improve workflow and reduce mess. However, the saw's weight and large footprint make it less portable, and the included blade may not be ideal for fine finish work.

This saw is extremely powerful and can do pretty much everything I throw at it. It's easy to adjust and tune, and the cuts are very accurate. The one thing that needs a pretty major improvement, though, is the dust collection. The rails on the saw are already very long, so having the hose connection be at the end of the rails makes it a nightmare to put in any sort of permanent spot. With the blade fully pulled in and the saw at 90 degrees, you need about 40 inches of clearance from the back of ...

Awesome saw
This was a great purchase, especially when paired with the miter saw stand. Easy to use and adjust. The only complaint I have is that the dust collection bag could be a little bigger... it fills up quickly.

I've got this saw a couple of months ago. The best saw that I have ever owned. It's also the 1st Dewalt tool that I have gotten. Got tired of using cheap ones that you couldn't get squared

Great Versatile SLiding Miter Saw
I've has this saw for over a year so far, and it has served me well. I saved a few $ by getting the model without the built in laser line, and just added an after market laser that attaches to the arbor beside the blade to cast a line where you want to cut. Pros: Extremely sturdy - excellent cut capacity - very accurate out of the box with no fine tuning of bevel or miter angle required needed. It's great for Decks, Stairs, heavy framing, large crown molding, etc. etc, where the material is...
Bullet Proof
DeWalt has proven their metal once again and I am not surprised. Whether restoring marine craft or engaged in home renovations, DeWalt tools perform and deliver the right results. The DWS779 is no exception. Built solid, everything properly calibrated and square, well designed and thought out, minimal and straight-forward set-up, and last but not least.... Ready to go right out of the box. As a matter of fact, I spent more time reading the cautionary warnings in the included manual than it t...

Easy to work with but takes some time get familiar
I got a great deal on this saw in April of 2020. The dual bevel takes a little time but there is a switch on the back to get it to bevel the opposite way. There is also a stop that must be put into place otherwise the blade will slice the plastic and linkage in the base of the machine causing blades to dull. It's a small metal stop that appears to be blued next to the blade on the right. Raise the blade from its storage position and then lower the metal tab. I think it's easy for someone to forg...

Great Saw
Bought it a couple years ago and it is by far the best miter saw i have every used. Super simple and and easy adjust. The dust bag can get jammed up but other that that, it is wicked

Specs have been lowered since first version of saw
At first I was excited to be able to buy essentially the same saw as the DWS780 (except without the LED system) for 2/3 the price, but I found out through a lot of research that there have been at least 4 versions of the DWS779 released by DeWalt. The first version was what I wanted, the 780 without the light, but subsequently DeWalt has stripped features and altered the saw. It turns out that people were buying the 779, and paying about 70 for DeWalt parts to add an LED system and make them i...
I got this saw to miter the 6" oak crown for our 1884 renovation., and it did NOT disappoint! I love this saw!
