Switch gun into single shot mode, hold trigger down for quite a while.... maybe 20 seconds and the lights flash. One flash per 1000 nails shot. Works on all my guns

Ive still got the 18v model, its the last tool that i havent swapped over to the 20v slide packs. Its still awesome, no frills, just cuts great! But yeah, have been holding out for a brushless one with led light. Rumour has it the new ones coming, wish it would hurry up ?

Pretty sure it only indicates what country the tool was sold in. For example here in Australia all of our dewalt tools end with -xe. So only locally sold tools are covered by warranty. We could send to the U.S. and purchase the same tools slightly cheaper than local ones but dewalt Australia wont cover them under warranty. the 'n' suffix just indicates a 'naked' tool as in just the skin - no batteries or charger or wasnt part of a kit. i think the 'b' suffix means 'bare tool'

Gday dwain, greetings from adelaide. ?
Ive got the dcn660 and love it, but a mate is on the Milwaukee platform and looking into these guns, did you have any trouble with the thermal overload, think you mentioned it in the video but didnt cover it?
A tool fight between the 2 angled 16g guns would be great ?

Cheers guys, i had another look at it this afternoon, the holes in the plate are smooth as. our detent plate setup is different to your dcs361 model, which looks superior and stronger setup than our model 365.
Looks like the detent plate consists of a series of holes to which a cone shaped lock mechanism fits into. The plate seems to be mounted to far out from the center pivot, as the locking pin doesn't line up that well with the holes. I'll shoot past the service shop and run my thoughts past him?
The table on the dcs361 looks to be a better construction than the aussie 365, but ours has a longer slide, why they made 2 different model is beyond me but anyway... i could have got the 361 as a grey import from a shop down here but was going to be $150 more than i got this one for ?

Hey guys, the other day I picked up the Australian version of dewalts 18v cordless mitre saw. It will be used in a professional carpentry contracting business. I already have 5 other 10" corded electric saws, so this one will be for convenience, where I dont have power nearby or lugging it up stairs or scaffolding.
So far I've been happy with its performance, but cant seem to adjust it to cut accurate 45* mitres. I have installed a brand new 60 tooth blade, adjusted the bevel so it cuts dead on plumb, and moved the mitre scale around so shes bang on square, alls good there. Now when I move the table to the left or right and lock it in the preset detents they aren't exactly 45* has anyone else come across this? Sure i could adjust the scale so its good to 45* left but that throws it out of square and even more so out of 45* to the right.
Ive thought of slightly elongating the 45* detent holes with a dremel to push the table around to where it needs to be, but should I have to do this?
-
I actually tried doing this the other day, but the little holes that lock the blade in position dont line up, so you have to resort to using the supplied adapter and bolt them on ?

Back in the early 2000's i had an old 14.4 nicad kit, it was great, still had good power and lighter than its 18v brother.
The drill reportedly puts out 60nm which is the same as the 790... obviously with a slightly shorter run time.

But they have released 5.0ah batteries and brushless tools... go figure?

Hey crew, so ive been thinking lately, we have this big box hardware store chain down under (in partnership with lowes) which is about to close down. They stock dewalts 14.4v tool line up, and im pretty sure they are about to sell all their stock off real cheap. So my questions are...
Why does dewalt even have this line of tools when they don't promote them, i mean they seem to have put more development into this line than their 12v line. Eg you can get 2.0ah 4.0ah and 5.0ah batteries all in 14.4v, brushless versions of the 18v dcd790.. the dcd737 and 18v dcf895 the dcf825, as well as jigsaws, angle drills, recip saw etc. Yet it doesn't seem anyone stocks them either and theres virtually knack all info about them on teh interwebs. Now im invested in both dewalts 12v line and 18v(20v max) line and my go to drill is the dcd790 with a 2.0 pack in there, its small, lightweight and perfect for 1/4" holes or less ( im not used to all ya imperial measurement system) but this drill covers most my needs. Something like the dcd737 i reckon would be cool. So why cant i buy one? Why do they have this line and not concentrated on their 12v line. I know the average joe would just go for the 18v (20v max) line up but in my job i often have 3 - 4 drills on the go with different bits in them and most of the time 14.4v would be fine (smaller, lighter, easier to manage) So crew, enlighten me, what am i missing here?

Gday guys, been stalking the forum a bit lately and long time toob watcher of TIA. I'm 40, carpenter from South Oz, been in the trade 20+ years from a long line of carpenters, my old boys still on the tools now 50 years. We do everything from framing, roofing, cladding, alterations, extensions, remodeling, fit outs...the list goes on. Still lovin it. Love quality tools and the right tool for the job. Great forum here...might go look around a bit more.

That corded one on display against the brushless one aint anything special either. I have it and think its pretty average

if you're going to use 1/2", you might as well get the new dewalt dcf899. it has a ton of power.
Oh yeah that is awesome...but I don't always need 1000 torques in my hand. I seem to find myself using a 1/4 hex to 1/2" socket adapter in my dcf895... not ideal but gets it done. a dedicated brushless 1/2" drive 886 would be nice

Is there a 1/2" anvil available as I would rarely use a 3/8" one?
New 9ah batteries

The newer 9.0s are reasonably heavier than the older 9.0s... I just got one of mine replaced under warranty and received the new type. Old one weighing in at 1292 grams... New one 1458 grams.
Just ran them thru the mower..Old one dropped a level on the power gauge quicker but new one lost all 3 bars of power 1st. Was it's 1st use tho, so might need to run it in more before it reaches max capacity.
