It's a good saw. But keep in mind it's huge and needs a lot of space in the back due to the sliding mechanism. Alternatively, delta/ridgid, Bosch and Festool have the sliding mechanism in the front so the saw can be placed against the wall.

If you want THE BEST miter saw stand ever invented, keep an eye out for the foldable mobile miter saw stand from Rigid. They used to go on sale for around $100 a couple times a year. Even at full price, it's worth it though. I use this thing multiple times per week and I don't know what I'd do without it.

Amazing deal! I've had this saw since 2017. It is a work horse. At this price, it's a no brainer if you need a solid saw.

This is the stand I'm currently using with my DWS779, It's a solid setup.

Check for your local Lowe's for clearance. They were on clearance for $299 in March 2024 at some stores, not all stores.

Any cheap way to add laser to this?
Yes. Google "dewalt 779 shadow light kit". Shadow light requires zero calibration compared to laser.

That stand is the inferior knockoff of the Bosch stand. We have both and every single crew prefers both the Bosch glider saw to the Ridgid glider knockoff saw as well as Bosch's stand that Ridgid tried to copy. The Bosch certainly isn't cheap and the Ridgid is a solid buy at $100, but the Ridgid is definitely not "THE BEST"

I had this for a few years and got the Festool version for its smaller footprint and superior dust collection .

Dewalt made a great saw, but it commands a large footprint. If thats a concern look into a saw with the sliding bars in front not in the back like this one.

Agreed, great stand. Makes it easier

I just bought a 12" duel bevel on sale and I upgraded from my cheap 10" on that stand. I will say while fine, I wish I stuck with just getting a better 10" just so it's a bit lighter. The amount of times I need that extra is so minimal and either a circular saw I can make a straight cut and if I need an angle break out the table saw

That is the BEST, I went through 2 dewalts until I bought the rigid with wheels

yea, buy a laser that replaces the arbor. adding the xps light is superior, but not cheap. id wait for the 780 to go on sale if thats the route you want to go.
