In reply to Bob. There is an attachment with a soft rubber end made by Rocker. It works fantastic with this saw!

Great review! Educational for a novice like myself.
I’m new to woodworking, and an illness has taken my left arm/leg. So many tools/tasks, such as using a table saw, are not a (safe) option for me.

So my question to anyone who has this saw… Do you think using this particular saw (and a mountain of different clamps) could be used with one hand? Are there any of the features on it that would require use of 2 hands?

***- I’m aware that this isn’t a “novice” tool, but I’ve made a few mistakes in buying things so far, and do not want to make the same mistake of not buying “the best” in terms of value and durability.

Hi John. No. Miter saws in general are not equipped to use a dado blade.
Thanks

Can you use a daddy blade with this saw to cut 3/4” x 3/8” cuts ?
Thank you

Does anyone know when DeWalt will offer the DWS780 TYPE20 (Made in Taiwan) with the free stand? The current sale at AMAZON, HomeDepot etc. only involves the TYPE1 (Made in Mexico) . Type 1 has a very sticky slide because of a bronze bushing while TYPE 20 uses ball bearings on both slides.

Does anyone know when DeWalt will offer a special of a free stand when you purchase a DWS780 Type 20 which is made in Taiwan and has ball bearing slide on the right? Amazon, HomeDepot and several other vendors are running a sale now but they are only offering the Type 1 saw which has a very sticky right rail, supported by a bronze bushing. I mistakenly purchased one of those and am returning it. Type 1 and type 20 saws are visually indistinguishable; the only way to identify one from the other is to look at the label on the motor.

Hi, Bob. For shop use, I’d suggest building a shroud to capture dust rather than relying on the dust port. Those small dust ports don’t do a great job of collecting dust. Take a look at the SCMS shroud in this article and perhaps try to create something like this for your shop: https://www.wwgoa.com/article/hooking-up-your-tools-for-better-dust-collection/
