    FYI, I prefer the 781 for its single battery operation, lighter weight, and dust setup. Some say the 781 material clamp works great by applying pressure to get a friction lock. I tried that but it still comes loose if you tap the clamped material, or it could just be me. 🤷🏻‍♂️ See ya!

      @@toolrev Are you saying that you can't squeeze and hold the mitre detent latch on the underside of the mitre arm, swing to any degree then release and lock it down/in with the mitre lock lever? Makes no sense. The old method might be gone but it should still be possible with the underside latch (albeit less convenient perhaps)

    • @toolrev
      @toolrev  7 місяців тому +2

      No, just saying the 781 has no detent override to lock it open. Some worry with no override, when cutting slight degrees just off a detent's edge, releasing the lever that close can drop it into the slot putting you off the degree you want. The 790's override holds it open for you and has a stiffer swing so even though you're not locked in it will probably stay put.

      @jpslattery7344 7 місяців тому

      @@toolrev I understand. My DW713 has the override function and it seems tight but not locking it down, more often than not, throws it off a degree or so at least when cutting through 5/8 plywood. On that model and the 20V version (override is a button on the top), I just move into position and lock down immediately with my palm.

      Sometimes it's easier to cut thicker/denser material in multiple passes. Sometimes it helps for straighter/cleaner cuts. It also puts less pressure on the motor and battery.

      Only problem is the ac adapter is linked to premature motor failure. Google it, most complaints about the 790 was motor failure from people running it on AC. I have never used my ac adapter and never had an issue. Love the DHS790, wish dewalt had made a better ac adapter, but don't really miss tripping over the cord.

Also found that the 790 has a recall in Canada because of : The miter saw’s rear safety guard can break or detach, posing an injury hazard due to projectiles that can strike the user and bystanders and a laceration hazard to the user who could come into direct contact with the saw blade.

      @@ScorchedEarth-s5k The recall was for all of the 12" saws 2019-2023, corded too. Dewalt cheaped out on the rear guard that catches stray material during a cut. They'll send you the metal version for free, so not a big deal. The plastic version can break if wood impacts it.
      I wonder if the 60V saw can big easier if you cut big beams too fast. I think the DHS790 has more torque than the corded saw. It doesn't bog.
