Poisonfangs85 Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 Just picked up the Dewalt Dws780. This thing is a beast of a saw. Thanks to TIA for all the info on this saw it was an easy decision.The wife wanted new stairs. She upheld her end of the bargain by staining all of the oak, so it's my turn to put them in. I only had an old Ryobi 18v chop saw, so I needed an upgrade. I have installed miles of trim and installed numerous hardwood floors with the Ryobi but it was always more difficult than it had to be. Very excited to speed up production on the house with this bad boy! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of projects can be completed now without hillbillying things to "make it work" My wife tells me I have the tools I need now to not have any excuses, haha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poisonfangs85 Posted October 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 That's nice that light is awesome Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkI didn't think it would act as an area light as well. It's fantastic! I'm sure it's not the best in sunny conditions but I have been using saws with no lasers no lights since I can remember, so going old fashioned in the sun is not a deal breaker. I have all of the treads and risers cut and ready for install. I didn't want to stop using it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboS1ice Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 Nice saw dude, that baby will treat you well.JimboSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmikez Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 Congrats on the new Beast poison!! And the xps system is awesome I Love my dws780 I just had to get the DWX726 rolling miter stand cus that saw can get pretty heavy after awhile of lugging it around plus it stores standing up right against the wall for space saving. The stand that it comes with is also really great and sturdy to its really a great buy when u get both together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poisonfangs85 Posted October 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 You are right about the weight Mike, it's a hefty bugger. The folding stand is not light either. But the furthest this saw will go will be from my garage to the driveway. (Unless I get a sidejob that is worth the effort Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeldfabNeil Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 I recently got a dws780 as well. Would of went with the Bosch dual glide but got the dewalt at a sweet price. Nice saw so far, no complaints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
