Hugh Jass Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 So I ordered one of these when they launched at CPO and I still haven't received my order, I think they've fudged up for it to have taken this long so I'm going to call tomorrow and ream some ass. Anyone else get theirs yet? I haven't heard anything on it in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric - TIA Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 I didn't even know they started shipping them yet. Thought it was preorder, but guess I am wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jass Posted June 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 They were in stock initially at CPO and I think International Tool. They still show as in stock there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickyMcGrath Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 ToolNut did that to me. Their site said "In Stock- Ships from manufacturer in 24-48 hours." Then 4-5+ weeks later it shipped from ToolNut, not Dewalt. So I had to wait until DeWalt shipped to ToolNut then for them to ship to me.

Hugh Jass Posted June 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 If CPO does that I'll cancel my order tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jass Posted June 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 So there's finally a review up for this saw on HD, here it is: "just got the saw in today . the saw is Great, but can not belive it only comes with one 3ah battery not too happy about that at all . you would think Dewalt would put a 4Ah or 5ah battery in itPros: AccurateCons: only one battery"I pointed out on this forum that the model number associated with the battery was 3ah, but someone here said that it wasn't shipping with the 3ah but the 4ah and it was a misprint. Seems I might have been right after all. Boo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR99 Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 I though they said at the Dewalt event it was shipping the 5.0ah packs. Hrmm I guess we need some clarification Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigmikez Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 That will really be a bummer if they do offer it with the 3.0 especially with this tool being a long awaited one U would think they would offer they're newest battery with there newest tools wth?!?

Hugh Jass Posted June 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 So what's happening with yours? Are they being shipped yet? I don't know, I've been so busy preparing for an upcoming trip to Anchorage I haven't been able to call, they're only open M-F. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jass Posted July 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 CPO has finally shipped my order, christ...going on week 6 now. UPS tracking says it'' be here in 3 days, which is rather impressive since it's still in Ontario, Canada. Anyone get theirs yet or get shipping confirmations?

Hugh Jass Posted July 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 I just watched another review I'll link below, he changed out the Dewalt blade for a Diablo and managed 202 cuts with the 4ah battery without stopping, which to me is unbelieveable. I know there was concern from some here about blade tooth rake angle catching the material, but he mentions in the comments that the blade is normal and not special as some had feared. I can't wait to try this baby out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Jass Posted July 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 And I just ordered the dws780 yesterday I have one too, trust me you won't regret it. This cordless is a very handy and valuable tool but the DWS780 is unmatched in the field for capacity and capability. I ran 7 1/4" base in a 1500 sq ft house by myself yesterday with that saw and it had me grinning from ear to ear, it literally makes me a better carpenter. Yea this saw can do that but with a single bevel it would take twice as long with flipping the boards and transferring measurement marks from one side to the other. Had it been dual bevel somehow my opinion would change a little. Right tool for the right job. We all need both in most of our professions or hobbies.

I'm replacing a 24year old Electra beckum, thing ways a ton. Could never lock it in half a degree of a positive stop or anything. I've never even owned a stand till this one I'm getting. I'll be sure to let everyone know what I think on here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turner85 Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 . Congrats Turner!! U won't regret that purchase man!! Cheers Mike, should have Monday hopefully.
