User questions & answers

Question:	Is the current model that is shipping type 1 or type 20. If you look up the parts diagram the type 20 has a different slide mechanism part number
Answer:	I bought a new one today from a lumberyard and it is a Type 1. (says right on the sticker on the motor) Not sure if that means the slide mechanism is better or worse than the Type 20. I would assume it was made in 2014 because there is a "Dewalt use only" tag on the box which starts with 2014. Not sure if a "fresher" saw is a Type 20
Question:	Can xps be added, i know dewalt makes a kit to add it to some saws, but this model was not listed
Answer:	mmToolparts actually sells a kit (3 proprietary DeWalt parts + their wiring harness) for less than $70. They have videos on their website that show how to install the parts on DW716, DWS779, and DWS782 saws. You will need some additional tools (torx screw drivers or torx bits, wire strippers/cutter/crimper) and somewhat mechanically inclined. Just google "DWS779 xps light kit" and they should be the top result. This might be an easier option versus going to a DeWalt service center in the post pandemic world.
Question:	Does this miter saw come with a laser or any guiding system
Answer:	It does not come with any laser for guidance. You may find my answer a bit crude, I've been using miter saws for many years and the best guiding system I found to work is my/your eyes. Having lasers or no lasers you still need to use your eyes to get the work piece spot on near the cutoff point. Hope this helps!
Question:	Is there an LED cut line
Answer:	You can add the LED light to this saw. Not a laser but a shadow light that show exactly where the saw blade will cut. I just did it last night. Parts can be had for about $70. This basically turns it into a model 780 which is much more expensive. Pretty simple to add.

User questions & answers

Question:	How well was this product packaged? Did anyone experience damage during shipping? I don't usually buy heavy items like this on-line. Thanks
Answer:	The saw was sufficiently packaged to protect it during shipping. I got mine in perfect condition. The manufacturer's packaging took care of most of the protection, and I'm pretty sure it was over-boxed as well. Hope this helps, and enjoy the saw. I haven't had a ton of use from mine yet, but have done several smaller projects with just a few cuts and have been pleased with the performance (it's not a cheap toy) and ease of handling. The size and weight make it easy to get it out and start cutting, then put away quickly when the job is done.
Question:	What is the difference between the dcs361b and the dcs361m
Answer:	The M1 is the European version
Question:	I see the vertical max is 3 5/8, but could this cut 4x4 lumber
Answer:	No not with one cut. You would have to turn the 4x4 over. Blade is a 7 1/4" diameter, same as a hand held circular saw. From the tip of the teeth to the edge of the washer (at center of blade) I get 2 7/8".
Question:	What's the cross cut capacity if we use the entire sliding action
Answer:	On a straight 90, I can cut 8" wide boards. On a 45, I can cut right around 5-7/8". This saw was a great addition for me, as I'm constantly working in places away from a simple power source (my generator is a beast and not easy to transport). It cuts cleanly, hasn't bogged down yet (even on wet 2x6 treated), and is super light and easy to transport.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will a 8 inch blade fit
Answer:	Yes. You can, the saw will cut alot larger than a 2x6 laying flat.
Question:	Would it work on a electricity of 220 v
Answer:	Much quieter. Best saw I have ever owned!
Question:	Will this saw cut a 1×12 with one pass at a 45 deg angl
Answer:	Smooth. It slides twice on two sets of bars. I have used their 10" saw for years. I bought this for trim work but it will cut 2x all day. I haven't used the 10" since I bought this one. You will love it.
Question:	Does it come with the extension arms
Answer:	Yes you can. Use a 1/4” Masonite or plywood to bump out the fence to take care of the 1/4”. The smaller blade won’t cut all the way through if you don’t. Works fine for me. And yes it’s easier and cheaper to get the standard 7 1/4” blades than the special 7 1/2”s from Makita.

User questions & answers

Question:	in my country, we use 220v, can I plug this item to my current circuit
Answer:	No. 120 volts AC single phase
Question:	As of Mar 2018, Does it still cut an arc when sliding, as opposed to a straight line
Answer:	Mine does not. Be careful with damaged packaging and saw impact
Question:	Does the laser show both sides of the blade, that is is it a dual laser? Also does the laser have a separate switch or is it centrifical
Answer:	The laser is on one line only and it can be switched left or right of the blade. There is a separate ON/OFF switch for the laser
Question:	will it cut 4in x 4 in timber
Answer:	Yes, if you make 2 cuts. The only saw I know of that will do it in 1 cut is a Chop saw with a 12" blade. Or a Radial arm saw. But it needs a 12' blade too.
