DeWalt 12" Double-Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw DWS779 Reviews

Came with a free compact stand, which they built a wheeled cart around for bigger job sites alongside a dust extractor, and they added brackets so the stand also carries their cordless saw.

Fine as a stationary primary setup, but heavy, large and needs lots of wall clearance, which makes it a poor fit for moving room to room on jobs.

After a kickback hit the rear guard, the blade pulled off-center toward the kerf plate; the clamp washer was warped and replacement parts did not fully fix the alignment.

Blade began touching the metal under the back of the throat plate, a frightening failure that led them to the recall thread.

Saw with a 2022 date code has a severe blade wobble that a new blade did not fix; they expect no help from the maker and are considering replacing a part.

Previously owned the saw from the thread, found it badly out of square and got rid of it.

Newly bought saw that would not calibrate square on both sides; the left side set up fine but the right was off, and they wondered whether it was a defect worth returning.

Stores it in a tiny multipurpose shop with the saw folded down so the counter top section can go in for glue ups, and asks about long-term harm from storing it that way.

Unit delivered damaged by a hard drop in shipping: cracked angle handle and blade scrapes found during setup, so it went back to the retailer for a replacement.

Same saw model at home, and it is very heavy; would worry about alignment or warped parts after a hard drop in shipping.
