I'm a trim carpenter. This is the Cadillac of miter saws right here. Love mine.

Shadow line never needs to be adjusted (unlike a laser line). That's the brilliant part about it.

Last year I bought the DWS779 with stand for $299. I actually prefer the 779 over the 780 because that shadow line needs to be adjusted sometimes and my eyes don't.

How is this price compared to what it has been in the past?
It seems $499 was the going price on a quick SD search. It was $399 in December 2019 but the lowest was in May 2018 for $350.99 with the free rolling stand. Don't know if it was a price mistake or not but Amazon took $199 off twice where one of them should be for the free rolling stand. Amazon honored the price for a couple of days.

Nope… overpriced. Don't cave to inflation as companies take advantage of consumers. This was way cheaper a year ago.

I feel like the price difference between the 779 and this is a bit much, but this is a great deal for this saw. I think they've once again made the 779 harder to add the cut line back onto as well. I have an older 779 and added the cutline for about 5$ in parts and an hour or so of my time. Keep in mind this needs a lot of clearance behind it, also I strongly recommend the Rigid MSUV rolling stand that usually goes on sale for 99 bucks from the outlet around the holidays etc.
I was worried about the size but I already have that stand with a smaller saw on it so finally made the plunge!

Agree that's an awesome price. I'm pretty certain this was never cheaper, except when it was briefly $350 at Home Depot during the holidays a few years back. Pretty sure that was a pricing error too (likely for the DWS779)

Great price for this saw. Owned one years ago but hated how much space it took due to the rails extending so far back behind the saw. Moved over to the Bosch 12" Glide and never looked back.
I have a love hate relationship with the 779 for this exact reason. The saw is fantastic and I have no complaints about it's performance. It's the best saw I have owned to date, but as a woodworker, not a carpenter, it's overall size with the rear rails is too much. Looking to upgrade to the Bosch soon.

Do you mind sharing how or what you used to add the cut line to the 779? Thanks
A one sided flat "T10" size LED bulb, with a little sanding and filing I was able to make a nice slot and slide it into the little black plastic shoe that is replaced with the light assembly on the 780. You then run the 12v wiring through the "spine" over the blade held on by a number of torx screws back to the handle area like a 780. Lastly I used a very small 12v wall wart circuit board I scavenged and cut out a little bit of the handle structure to make room for it, wired it to the feed side of the trigger for 110v and the 12v to the light. Totally hidden, only potential con is the light is on any time it's plugged in, but you could easily add a switch. I wanted the saw to look stock externally and didn't want to pay 70 bucks or whatever for the OEM dewalt parts to swap out the handle and light.

Keep in mind to check against the received unit for the plastic guard recall/replacement. There should be a dot on the motor if it has already been rectified from factory.

I bought my DWS780 with the mobile stand for $350 during the great "free miter saw stand" price mistake of 2018. Now I'm hoping to sell it for the same price. Just too big to use in the garage and I'm tired of hauling it in and out. Dust collection is a joke too, even by miter saw standards. Great construction saw though.

I'm in the same boat. Got the 780 and stand for $350, great deal but I barely ever use it because it's so huge and my smaller saws are much less sloppy for the things that I need to miter. Thought I might use for decking, but not really needed because I ran everything long and cut it evenly with track saw. Building a big garage soon so might consider it to cut studs, but the circular saw is plenty for that. Maybe I should sell it.

I have this saw. Love and would recommend it at this price. The shadow cut line allowed me to do molding around the house like a pro. It's a bit heavy, but not impossible. I don't use it regularly so that doesn't bother me.

That is my first plan to do with it. Any tips?

Unless you're doing exceptionally large base, trim, or crown that requires the cut capacity of this saw, my tip would be to buy a smaller non-sliding one.

You obviously haven't heard of the Festool Kapex Mitre saw. This DeWalt is cheap china junk..
