Can anyone confirm Lowes price matching? Trying to price match online through chat, and they are very specific when it comes to price matching Online Retailers. Blains is not listed as an online store they will price match.
.
We have a local Farm & Fleet, so no problem picked up. If shipping, it is going to depend on who you talk to because from Lowes or Blains, that item often comes from a warehouse.

If Lowes does match the delivered cost, the only net savings I can see for you is if using a 10% off Lowes gift card from Dollar General to save another $30.

Anyone know the difference of this vs DWS780?
DWS780 is lighter, has the XPS light (which can be installed on this saw for about 60 bucks) and has a higher quality motor (reportedly).

I went ahead and pulled the trigger. I keep mine on a stand so weight isn't important. And I'll add the XPS light.

Debating on this, my DWS716XPS just delivered today. It's not often I use my slider on my current saw, but I guess I like having the capacity if needed. I'd be giving up the XPS light, but gaining the slider. Size and weight aren't really a concern for me.

Can anyone comment on the DWS779 being "downgraded"? I have heard of three versions of the 779, with the latest version being the most stripped down.

This is a huge miter saw. it takes a lot of space. Since it's a slider, you have to place it about a foot and a half from the wall. if you have the room for it, get it. it's a work horse.

This saw, the newer versions, were the straw that broke Dewalts back.

I miss how good this saw used to be. It was one of the best miter saws for the price. But when type 21 came out, it went downhill in terms of features.

When Type 22 came, it went down in more features, and in quality. (A drastic decrease in quality). It's tolerance issues, and constant need to be recalibrate on the entire saw made it worthless. If you have to re-true the blade, fences, and base every 50-100 cuts, then it doesn't matter how good the motor is.

Luckily, I bought the type 22 i got last, at Lowe's. So after returning it... twice... with the same issues, I was able to go a different route... and I'm glad I did.

My Bosch has been so much better. I'd take it over the 580, let alone the newer 779s. It's smoother, doesn't jump, stays true, and it handles full kerf blades that would eat the 580/779 motor alive.

So, I wish you luck if you got this deal. The price maybe appear great, but 99% off of a πŸ‹ is still a πŸ‹ . Lol.

(Now... let the yellow hate flowwwww from you all! I feed on it!!! Lol.)

Ridiculous that a $600 saw does not come standard with a laser or LED.

A bit dramatic, but thanks for posting your experience. And if it was 99% off, don't lie: you, me, and everyone here would buy as many as possible before it sold out. LOL.

Recalibrating every 50 cuts? That's really hard to believe….

I have this and the 7-1/4 20v max. I prefer the little battery powered one. It is super handy. I'm just a regular homeowner though.

Yeah but at least doing the upgrade is not super expensive.

How would this compare to 12'' sliding Hercules from HF?
