Review: Powerful, Accurate, and Built to Last - I’ve been using the DEWALT DWS779 for a while now, and it has exceeded my expectations. The cutting power is impressive—it goes through hardwood smoothly without bogging down. The sliding feature is very fluid, allowing for precise and clean crosscuts even on wider boards. What really stands out is the accuracy right out of the box. The miter and bevel adjustments are easy to dial in, and once set, they stay locked in place. The build quality is solid, with a sturdy base that keeps everything stable during operation. It’s also user-friendly, with clear markings and a comfortable handle that makes long work sessions easier. Whether you’re a professional or a serious DIYer, this saw delivers consistent, high-quality results. Highly recommended if you’re looking for reliability and precision in a 12-inch miter saw.
Review: Solid and gets the job done - This is the first miter saw that I ever purchased. I spent a decent amount of time researching miter saws and finally decided on this one. So with that being said, this saw is fantastic. It is built solid, has a good weight to it, it doesn't feel like it is going to break apart. There is very little plastic to this saw. So right out of the package you can see that Dewalt does a great job packing in this item so things don't shift. There were very few items that you had to attach and that is a good thing, it means that the saw is really one solid piece of hardware. The first cut that I made was nearly perfect. You will want to adjust the zero so you get straight cuts. Now for the blade. This comes with a 32 tooth blade. This is great for just cutting, if you want perfect miters, spend the money and get yourself a good blade don't judge this saw by it miters with the stock blade that it comes with. The carrying handle is solid and I did not feel like it was going to fall apart when I picked it up. I gave the saw 4 star for maneuverability only because with the sliding capabilities you need to make sure you have clearance to make those types of cuts. I ended up making a mobile miter saw station to compensate for this, but with the weight of this saw don't expect to be lugging this 3 flights of stairs and not slip a word or two that you may not want others to hear. Now for the saw itself. It is very smooth and very easy to adjust. There is a little locking pin that you will need to pull out when you get it out of the box and I keep it locked so my little ones don't try to play with it. All you need to do is depress the saw down and at the joint of the arm there is a locking pin that will unlock the saw. (it took me a minute to figure this out so I thought I would add it here) This is a great saw, you get good cuts, it will last a long time, and the price point is very fair. Buy this item if you are doing a lot of DIY projects.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is there an LED cut line?**
A: You can add the LED light to this saw.  Not a laser but a shadow light that show exactly where the saw blade will cut.   I just did it last night.   Parts can be had for about $70.   This basically turns it into a model 780 which is much more expensive.   Pretty simple to add.

**Q: Does this miter saw come with a laser or any guiding system?**
A: I've been a finish Carpenter for over 30 years and found the best laser is your eyes..First thing I do is disconnect/turn off laser if saw I am using is equipped with one...I have found them to be very inaccurate even when fine tuned...Just one Master Carpenters opinion...I own this saw and love it..my only complaint is when shaving an 1/8" to 3/8" off stock it will fall into table blade groove so next cut ,blade catches cutoffs and rockets out !!!!

**Q: Can xps be added, i know dewalt makes a kit to add it to some saws, but this model was not listed.**
A: As of March 4 2022 you cant buy all the parts to upgrade to the XPS light for less than $100. Wish I would have know this before I bought mine, since I could have just bought a DWS780 for about the same price as the parts cost and wouldnt have had to put anything together. Maybe this will change, but I spoke to a rep at MMToolparts, they dont know when they'd be getting the light component back in stock. Bought the power and light (part N515802) as one from Dewalt part supplier since that seems the way those parts are sold now, but it alone is $70 before taxes and shipping. Then you have to buy a new handle to allow install which is another $16 and wire harness for $10. So probably easier and cheaper just to buy the DWS780.

**Q: What is the measurement from the bottom of the saw (top of the workbench) to the top of the cutting table of the saw?**
A: I have two Dewalt slide saws. Both of mine are 3⁹/16. The first is an old type I the other is the battery 120 volt. The table height for both are exactly the same.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beware of model differences among DeWalt sliding compound miter saws...
*by N***1 on January 12, 2017*

Update 3-15-2019--Great price on this saw on Amazon right now at $334. Perhaps best ever. Buy it! ________________________________________________________________________________________ DeWalt does not list this model (DWS779) on their web site, probably because this saw is the top-of-the-line DWS780 corded sliding compound miter saw without the DWS780's superb XPS guide light. Right now on Amazon (as of January, 2017) and elsewhere (Home Depot online) the DWS779 is selling for $200 less than the DWS780--a substantial savings if you can do without the light. DeWalt used to sell an accessory XPS light for older saw models, but no longer. Though the accessory lights can still be found on Ebay, the electrical coupler for the accessory is no longer built into newer saws. Youtube has guides to ordering the relevant parts off the DWS780 parts list and hacking them onto the DWS779. It will set you back a bit less than $70 and a little work. My wife bought me a DWS709 12-inch sliding compound miter saw at Home Depot on Black Friday. It was advertised as a $549 value being sold as a "Special Deal" at $399 (with an additional $25 taken off at the register from manufacturer). When she gave it to me at Christmas I looked it up and found that it was a substantially different saw than the DWS780, and that it was then selling (post-Christmas) for $349 at Home Depot. Home Depot's Black Friday advertising led my wife to believe the saw she was buying was the DWS780, DeWalt's top-of-the-line saw. The Black Friday ad didn't mention model number, nor was it on display in the store, suggesting an intention to mislead potential buyers. The saw she actually received (the DWS709) is a twelve-inch sliding compound saw. But though it superficially resembles the DWS779 and DWS780, it has diminished cutting capacities along with several other more minor deficiencies (handle placement, miter-angle adjustment release, etc.). Despite Home Depot selling the DWS709 as a Black Friday "special" for $399, the store routinely sells the saw for less than $399 on its web site. This saw, the DWS779, is routinely sold for $399 on the web. That's what I bought it for from Amazon, and that's its price at Home Depot online. It is the DWS780 without the XPS light, possessing the same motor, fence, blade, stops and capacities as the DWS780. Home Depot occasionally offers a special combination of a DeWalt 12-inch sliding miter saw with a stand for $599. However, the saw sold with the stand in my experience is not the DWS780, but the DWS779 and sometimes the DWS709. Purchasers who aren't aware of the different models (and I think DeWalt intentionally obscures model differences to enable such marketing ploys) don't realize that they could buy the same saw for $399. They think they're getting the top-of-the-line DeWalt DWS780 sliding miter saw with a free stand (about a $200 value). Instead, they're getting as a package a DWS779 or DWS709 saw and a stand that they might be able to purchase separately for cheaper.... Finally, as to the tool itself (the DWS779), if you can live without the XPS light, it's everything people write about the DWS780. Good saw. Heavy. I mean, HEAVY. I'm amazed at how much heavier it is than my 20-year-old DeWalt miter saw. But a great machine. You will want a rolling stand for it if you intend to use it on sites. Trust me on this.
