DR99 Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 I've often wondered the same thing. It gets great reviews, but I've yet to see any real push by Milwaukee to sell it. I used to really hope to see a Milwaukee table saw, but I've pretty much given up on that. With the spike in popularity of Milwaukee with Contractors, we may well see some attention to stationary tools.Yea they have the TTI portfolio to work with so their are saw designs the could adapt and build to a Milwaukee quality tool the Ridgid table saws are very nice. It might be that they are more focused on building tools for the electrical and plumbing trades. The only thing is they are only a good table and marketing a miter saw in stores as providing tools for the carpenter/general contractor side also. It looks like Milwaukee never really offered a table saw except for a Delta rebranded unit from years ago. I really like the idea of having a track saw or panel saw ill be honest table saws make me pucker up while using them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07Sierra Posted July 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 I tried out the milwaukee mite saw setup and displayed here at a home depot a few hours from me, I wasn't that impressed, was bulky and real heavy... Just didn't seem to have the build like the 780 did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 Wow I never have see it at any of the Home Depot's near me guess its a regional item to stock in store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07Sierra Posted July 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 I was surprised too, Came with a free stand and it was like 599 or 699 but it's a big bulky saw, My friend hated it more then me and he's in the market for one as well http://www.homedepot.ca/product/milwaukee-12-in-dual-bevel-sliding-mitre-saw-free-stand-with-purchase/906228 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 Not everyone is looking for something they can hide in a corner for months at a time. Most people buying the Milwaukee miter saw are buying them to set up in a shop where it will sit in the same spot for most of it's life and be used everyday. In that scenario you aren't concerned with weight and bulk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Wray Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 I own the Dewalt dw713. It's great because I can store it anywhere. I used to own a craftsman sliding miter saw. Worked great but so big to store. So I sold it and got the Dewalt. Then I bought the led light. That makes it kapex precise. Shows exactly where you are going to cut on both sides. The dw713 is bare bones but its a workhorse. Your 780 is a great saw! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold Wray Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 Yes. It's single bevel but hasen't been a problem for me. I've done it all with it (fence, furniture, remodeling, trim,, ...) And it was only $199. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold Wray Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 Yes. You have to take a cover piece off and bolt on the led and switch. The led light is so good You can even see the saw blade teeth on what you are going to cut. I'll take a picture sometime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 Dual bevel is nice to have, but it's important to remember that it is merely a convenience and really doesn't add any functionality to the saw. Most of the time a change in bevel requires you to move the workpiece anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
