If you’ve used mitre saws a lot, an annoying part of it is having to push the blade guard back with the workpiece when you make a cut. For those DIYers that haven’t upgraded to a powered dust collection system, they won’t get a chance to find out! Loosening the three screws securing the mitre plate gives a few millimetres of adjustment to square the blade to the back fence.It is worth noting that Dewalt’s 3-year warranty applies to this saw when it is registered online, and that they would probably have supplied a replacement fence on request.

It’s the sort of material used for stud walls and other building projects thanks to its strength and durability. The big black safety handle needs to be pushed in, then you can press the safety button, and only then can you pull the trigger and start the saw. The DeWalt DWS774 216mm Mitre Saw has a classic saw design improved and updated for the modern user.

You can also adjust the bevel stop points for both 0 (90-degrees) and 45-degrees (full bevel) with the included Allen key. The next model in Dewalt’s range, the DWS777 has a sliding left-side fence, and is presumably machined to a higher standard. The fence is somewhat adjustable via the pair of Torx bolts that secure it to the base of the saw, though its greatest weakness lies in its single-piece construction.
