great deal!

Herb Sison thanks Herb

Main difference is the 779 is a larger saw and a slider but doesn't have the built in LED shadow light system. The 779 is basically a 780 with a few missing features

Awesome, glad my old video helped you out

Bruce Costa thanks Bruce, glad it helped

Glad it helped out!

you're welcome Ruben. Glad it helped

I've heard that about the compatibility. I did some research and couldn't find out which type doesn't have compatibility. Said compatible with models 1-4 but weird that it doesn't say compatible with all models. I looked at the pdf manual for type 4 and says it's compatible with both lights. Also when I was at Lowe's I looked at the box in store for the dw716 and said it right there on the box it was compatible with both lights. I even took a picture, but I couldn't find any info on the box about what type 1-4 it was. On the parts website I could see 5 models: type 1, type 2, type 20, type 3, type 4. I wonder if type 20 is the oddball

I think it's type 20, yeah. Yours is awesome and will work with the system. Definitely worth the couple bucks bro. I'd go for it, lol.

Thanks Daniel! Who ever receives this as a gift is going to be happy for the rest if the year

@Elijah Colin Thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and Im trying it out atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

@Elijah Colin it worked and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy! Thank you so much you saved my account :D

@Soren Carmelo Glad I could help :D

Ron Garney thanks Ron, glad you liked it!

Definitely! Once you've tried cam lock its hard to go back to a twist knob

thanks!

Thanks guys

Thanks Eric, glad you liked the review

Thanks Matthew, for the longest time I've been wanting to try the led light. Also want a stand but I've been getting by with my saw horse portable table system lol.

+David Lowrance I'll keep it under consideration, it's quite simple actually and can easily be explained. Remove both fences- that's it really. With the fences now gone you can use the built in back fence, although you will need a wide 2x lumber underneath to support the one being cut

go team yellow!

Thanks Jimmijo! My goal is to make you guys experts of a tool just by watching my reviews

Awesome!

Kris Latchman Thanks for the kind words, glad you liked it

Donald Valinski thanks, I enjoy using the easy lock handle and would be hard to go back to the twist knob. I'm not sure about that, you might have to buy a new unit to get that feature

Thanks Jeremy, glad you enjoyed it!

👍

jgdoollc thanks!

Thanks. I know what a dado is and what a stop block is, though I've never heard of a stop block for dado's on a miter saw. I'm not even sure if you can install a dado stack on this or any miter saw. Those are for table saws if they have the threads long enough to support them. Maybe you can enlighten me on this???

That's too bad about the compatibility issue. I've heard about it I just didn't know what models and types. $199 is a good deal for the dw715 and atleast you can buy those laser attachments that go next to the blade although probably not as good as the dewalt laser accessory

thanks

Awesome!

Out of all those I've only tried the m12 fuel impact. So it's hard for me to comment on the others without having tried them. I really like the m12 fuel but personally I like having both 12v and 18v tools and choose between the 2. If you can afford them I would get both impacts. I cant suggests both drills though to own at the same time, too similar from a spec standpoint, but then again like i said I haven't tried them. I like having a 12v and a heavy duty 18v combination.

Exacto! Como he batallado sin clamp y tambien las extensiones pero estoy buscando un stand

Thanks Matthew, the dual bevel feature saves a lot of hassle and time, let me tell you

+Blac Cayman thanks

Thanks Tee

MNP67 thanks! Glad it helped out

Thank you for the compliment, really appreciate it! However I like to stay unbiased and independent and if a tool company were to hire me then I would no longer be able to do unbiased tool reviews but instead biased commercials and I don't plan on doing any of those.

Thanks Mike! I like it and it's never let me down, great everyday work miter saw

Thanks

Thanks cool Chris

Thanks bro. Sliding saws are great for cutting larger materials

No problem. A sliding saw is the only saw I would get.

Braden K thanks Braden for the kind words. Owning a house is great just wish I had more projects around here for excuses to use tools :). Already did some big projects just a few years ago. Glad you enjoy the vids, got some more on the way

That's great! Look forward to the new vids. To clarify I have mechanic tools but looking to build my power tool arsenal. Your great and informational on my decisions on what to get.

Braden K awesome

+Emily Sadeghi thanks and good idea. I added links to accessories in the description page towards the bottom.

Awesome! Thank you! You may want to create affiliate marketing links with amazon and other sites. That way if I click on the link and buy it amazon would give you a small piece of the pie. You deserve it!

+Emily Sadeghi you're welcome and thanks for the tip. They are affiliate links

Thanks Richard

Thanks. The problem with this saw, at least the one I bought was that if you look at other brands, they include at least a material clamp as standard. And many more include extensions as standard as well. I've since sold this saw and the 20v miter saw and bought the dhs790

Gracias Walter, no se si hay uno que recoja todo el polvo. Lo bueno es que tiene para conectar una aspiradora

si, yo lo que hago es que le pongo una caja de cartón con el colector de polvo y así me evito quedar como panadero :D saludos!

I go by eye, the only thing I'll measure is the length needed for the bolt so it's not too long or too short then get the appropriate sized hardware

jgdoollc They're both good at doing the same job, the LED light is nice because it requires no adjustment to line it up and automatically determines blade thickness I don't think the DW715 comes with it included

Tony D not sure what all the differences are between types. Could be minor manufacturer differences but you can always contact DeWalt for more info. I've heard about the incompatibility with types before although I didn't know which type was affected. At the time I did this video, Lowes was carrying some on stock that were compatible with the laser, I even took a picture- says compatible with laser on the box

Wasn't aware of the dw709 at the time so It didn't come down to either or situation like you're describing. I went with this model back then because I needed something as compact as possible but yet could cut large width laminate flooring planks which is what I was doing at the time. Sliding saws were too big for my needs at the time. But since then my needs have changed and now I have the dhs790 dewalt model

Thanks

Thanks Markus, don't laugh at me but what's an OMT? I tried googling it but couldn't find anything tool related

ToolCrazy To be honest I smiled a little. :) OMT stands for oscillating multi tool. Like the Fein MultiMaster, DeWALT DWE315 or Bosch GOP 250 for example. These are really handy tools because of their multifunctionality. You can cut pvc pipes, wood, thin steel, use them as a small sander, use them for grinding and much more. I think that is why these things are called OMT. Really cool lightweight tools and highly efficient.

Yeah I know about multi tools, I got the m12. I never heard anyone call them omt's. Yeah I can check out a multi tool soon

ToolCrazy Cool, thanks. I kinda remember that Dan and Eric from "Tools in Action" call them OMT's. I think it was Dan. Or maybe it was Rob Robillard from the channel "A Concord Carpenter". Yeah, the M12 from Milwaukee is also a good candidate for a test. A cordless or corded multi tool for the review? What do you think, Javier?

I prefer cordless tools but I would check out corded multi tools models too

I'll test it out and then let you a soon as i can

Case 275 thanks CJ. Hey sorry for the late reply, I had to go take a look first before I said anything. On my miter saw there aren't any adjustments for either back fences other than being able to slide them left and right or remove completely. If these are out of square then it would mean either the base that holds the fences or the fences themselves are bent but you did say yours was the older model so I don't know if that one has the ability to adjust. Sorry I couldn't be much help.

I'm not sure if they still sell the add ons but I'd try amazon as a start. But really, I'd recommend the LED light system instead, it's way better than lasers and this model already comes with it, at least mine did.

Hey there, I used to own this saw. You should watch my video review to see if this saw is weak and can't handle thicker wood. I'm not sure if I covered how to change a blade, but it does require more steps to change a blade since the blade guard has to be moved out of the way to access the blade bolt. Whether that's a hassle is subjective however it requires more steps than a circular saw. I'd say someone is lazy if they think a couple of extra steps is a hassle for something that has to be done every once in a long long while. As far as cutting thicker wood, you really should watch this video to see how it performs with your own eyes. What you heard sounds to me like whoever owned this saw needed to replace their blade. Yes, blades do become dull and need replacing after so much use.

Thanks

thanks John

I just picked up the Dw715....I hope I don't regret it. They had it on sale for $199.00 I couldn't pass it up. I hate my eye on the Ryobi 12 inch Slider. The 48 foot clearance turned me off.

unless you don't need the additional features of the DW716 you'll be fine with the 715
