Fine Tune Your Miter Saw | Dewalt 779 Miter & Bevel Adjustment

A miter saw is used for a precise cut, but how do you know if your cut is accurate? In this episode I review how to adjust the Dewalt 779 for both Miter Cuts & Bevel Cuts. It super easy, should take less than an hour, and shouldn’t need to be touched again. Overall Steps to Adjust Check Table, Fence, & Blade Unplug your saw Check to ensure your table and fence are both flat with a carpenters square Rotate your blade to ensure it’s not bent or out of shape Miter Cut Set the saw to a 90 degree bevel cut (straight up and down) Using your carpenters square against the fence, ensure the blade has no gaps along its length Check the other side as well If adjustments need to be made Loosen the face plates of the angle guide Tap it until the square is flush Tighten the face plate Bevel Cut Rotate the blade to either + or - 45 degrees Using a Digital gauge or a machinist square, check that it’s at 45 If not correct, adjust the appropriate fastener on the back of the saw Repeat for other 45 degree cut Bring saw to 90 degrees and measure with digital gauge or machinist square If not correct, adjust with the appropriate fastener in the back of the saw It sounds complicated but when you see the mechanism, it’s very simple. If you have any confusion, watch the video. Thanks as always, be safe, and happy woodworking!
