roadhog96 Posted August 24, 2015 Report Posted August 24, 2015 Does anyone have a clue what the difference is between a DCD790 Type 1, 2, and 3 model? This Brushless tool really hasn't been out all that long compared to a lot of other tools on the market and it apparently has already had some type of changes made to it few times.
DR99 Posted August 24, 2015 Report Posted August 24, 2015 GatorB works for Dewalt and might be able to clarify things. It just might be minor manufacturing changes.
WigWagWorkshop Posted August 24, 2015 Report Posted August 24, 2015 I belive Jasonc is correct, will be interested to read what GatorB says. I think on my DW788 Scroll Saw, the Type -1 (the most desired model) was Made in Canada - and the Type 2 was made elsewhere. -Steven
Gatorb888 Posted August 25, 2015 Report Posted August 25, 2015 JasonC is correct. They don't share details with us sales guys, it's usually just small changes. Could be one of a thousand things. 1
roadhog96 Posted August 25, 2015 Author Report Posted August 25, 2015 Well I kind of thought the same thing. There has to be something different in the design for them to designate a different type number. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the chuck. I check out the chucks on the DCD790 in every store I go into that sells them. I've noticed that if you try to spin the chuck with your hand in either direction it barely moves then stops like there's a lot of resistance. The Type 3 I checked out had the same style chuck but you can spin it and it spins several revelutions before coming to a stop. Might not sound like a big deal but the one that spins easier feels a lot smoother than all the tighter ones I've seen on Type 1 and 2 models.
