Everything about this was great. I JUST got my new saw (same model) and had assembled the base and attached the saw. This was the perfect 'next step' info needed. Also, I loved the pace of Daryl: slow like me! Very thoughtful, and since things were done in real-time, it was the ideal learning tool for me. Will proceed with confidence thanks to Daryl!
Thanks Stuart, not sure it lived up to all that, but thanks none the less.
As a veteran woodworker Daryl's videos are very clear and concise. Great videos, and thanks for your time saving ideas and contribution to the community !!
Perfect video. Just what I needed to set my own saw up. What a time saver. The painters tape tip was worth the watch alone. Thank You!
Thanks Eric, Glad it helped
I got mine yesterday and put it together. I will tune it today if needed. I absolutely love this beast. It's a game-changer in terms of accuracy and stability. Grat video!!
Great video man. I just got this table saw like a month ago. Still learning how to fine tune everything. I rather watch a video like this than read the instructions. 👍
So far so good.....very glad I found this video as it was a real time saver! Got my saw today and set-up was square out of the box. Right now I'm at the point to trying to figure out how to get the kick-back assembly off it's little storage spot hook to check it out.....I just noticed it sort of dangling down there all on it's lonesome when I was looking for all the other spots to store the items that you showed. I'm a 64 yo woman, only 5'2" and my strength is not what it used to be. I still have lots of projects to do and needed a saw on a stand that I could handle moving around. Very glad my old Craftsman died last week.....it was very difficult for me to handle and maneuver. Looking forward to doing the big projects on my list, now. Thank you for this excellent video in getting me started right out of the box!
That's awesome Valerie. You are going to love this saw. Good luck with your projects.
You sound awesome!! What a badass
I have been most intimidated by table saws. I bought a small, poorly made craftsman about a decade ago and had a terrible time learning it. After watching your videos I decided to give the DeWalt a shot and I’m very happy with its size and build. Thank you very much for the great instruction and videos! I finally feel comfortable and confident using a table saw!
That's awesome. I really like my Dewalt saw. It's the nicest saw I've ever owned, so we have something in common.
Thank you! Info on proper storage with video was not found anywhere. You saved me a lot of time.
You bet Joe. Thanks for watching.
I made the decision on this saw based on a review with some detailed complex woodwork. YOU helped tremendously with helping getting is setup out of the box, I appreciate it!! thanks.
Hey DLewandowski, I'm glad the video was helpful. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I picked my saw up 1.5 hours ago. Set it up and made it to the “leg fold up” stage at the end. Your video was awesome! Keep making thorough videos like this one. Saved me tons of time. Great job.
That's awesome. You are going to love that saw.
Thanks for the comment.
I'm shopping for this saw. You've made it a lot easier for me to set it up and adjust. Thank you
Patrick, I'm glad you found it helpful. I have really enjoyed using mine. It is a great saw.
Have you found one? My DW 745 is toast and I can’t find any of these in stock
@@tomforward990 here is where I bought mine: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00F2CGXGG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Bought mine about 1.5 years ago and still love it. I didn’t have to adjust anything except the pointer on the fence measurement. It was slightly off. Oh, and I’m using the painters tape on the miter gauge and it works great! The saw is a beast! 👍🏻✅
Hey Steve, it's the best saw I've ever had. Full disclosure, I usually get saws in the $100-300 range.
Thank you sir for taking the time to create this content for the unfamiliar. As iron sharpens iron, one person sharpens another.
This is a VERY good video. I literally just purchased one of these. I'm standing in front of it trying to figure it out and this had everything I needed to know. The instructions are half a step above worthless. Thank you for making this.
That was exactly my experience too. Glad the video helped out.
New to wood working. Just bought mine today and your video was mega helpful in setting mine up!
That's awesome. I'm really glad it was helpful.
Great Job defining the where and How.
I just picked mine up yesterday and was having a hell of a time figuring out where things went.
Now I will know How to adjust it..if it's needed.
THANKS
This is such an indepth video for this saw. I followed everything you said here and my saw cuts perfect. Great video thank you for the tip with the miter gauge. ,👍
You bet Mark, thanks for the comment.
Really good video. Straight forward. I just bought mine today and this will help with set-up tomorrow. Thank you.
John, I'm glad this video will help you out. You are going to love this saw. I'm glad I got mine. I got another video coming out that talks about squaring the fence and blade on Saturday.
Great review of my table saw. Thank you!!! I suspect I'll be coming back to this video often. May have to remake my crosscut sled.
This is a great set-up video. It's a great place to start if you've purchased this saw..
Thanks for not having any awful music--heck, ANY music--playing in the background, competing for attention.
Thanks for speaking softly and simply.
And thanks for explaining what you're doing, and why.
Thanks Chris, I have to admit that I have been criticized for my background music. It's a learning process.
I hope you enjoy your saw.
THANKS DUDE!! JUST PUT MINE TOGETHER, AND WATCHED YOUR VID FROM START TO FINISH, NOW I KNOW WHAT EVERYTHING IS AND WHERE IT BELONGS!
Awesome, thanks for the comment.
Just bought one. The fence stores upside down under the table - that leaves just the flat table which can go against the wall when the saw is stored, takes up less space when not in use.
Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge and experience. Excellent video. Very helpful. Looking forward to seeing your blade to slot alignment.
Hey Charles, I appreciate it.
Great video Woodhaven. Just got mine delivered today and used your first video to set up the stand and this one to pre check everything else!
good instruction brian. clear simple communication. thank you for that
I’m so glad I found your video. You just helped me decide to get this model. Thanks.
Joel, you are going to love this saw. If you are ordering online, Check my link to see if it is a cheaper price.
Awesome review of the setup. Just what i needed to get started!
Hey Sean, I'm glad it was helpful. Thanks for the comment.
Excellent video that really helped me as a complete novice set up this saw. Thank you 🙏🏼
Hey Lance, I'm glad it helped.
I really appreciate you taking the time to make this presentation. It has saved me a lot of time and anxiety! Thanks
Thanks Tom. I'm glad it was helpful.
Thank you very much. Excellent, slow paced instruction and demonstration. I purchased the saw about two hours ago. Subscribed.
Thanks, I really appreciate it. You will love the saw.
Very helpful, thank you for taking the time to make this video!
Thank you for the video! I just got this today, a little xmas present for myself 😁 and after setting it up I had so many questions that you answered! I had a hard time finding this saw, Lowes was out of stock and no ETA on when it would come in. Tractor Supply wanted over $100 for shipping even a ship to store. I wanted to be able to return easily if there was a problem so Amazon was out. I found it at Home Depot and free shipping to my house. It arrived in 7 days!!
Hi Rachel & Crystal, I'm glad this video helped. I am doing another video that covers squaring the fence to the miter slots and then the blade to the fence. Should come out this Saturday.
Just bought this saw yesterday (9/23/21). This video is much better than reading the manual. Thanks
That manual was written for people that don't need a manual. I didn't understand any of it.
Just bought the smaller 7485, used the mitre fence first time today, the tip with the tape works a treat.👍 Thanks from 🇬🇧
You are very welcome. Glad it worked for you.
I looked at the 7485, too, but it doesn't take a dado stack.
Thanks for posting. I just bought this same saw and will be doing those checks once I assemble it. I have some aluminum backed tape I may try on that miter attachment.
Yeah, that aluminum tape should work fine. Some have had problems squaring the fence to the table. One guy suggested using painters tape (or aluminum tape) to shim out the fence to fix this problem. Hopefully you will not see that. My fence was fine.
Great job walking through all features and adjustments without focusing on YOU, rather simply and cleanly focusing on the tool!
thanks Richard, I appreciate that.
Thanks for the video! When you fully extend out the fence does yours have any up/down play? Mine seems to be able to jiggle up and down slightly when fully exended out and off the table, despite the screws being tightened
Nice video man. Just picked up this saw and the instructions are pretty rough. Thanks for the visual aid. You covered it all!!!
You bet Marty. I'm glad you found the video useful.
Thanks for commenting.
I have this also. The fence come out of sq, factory. I use the blade as the reference to sq. I don't trust the table edge enough. My major gripes are that the legs need to be kicked for it to be firmly stable every time I unfold. Saw dust gets sent all over the place if no vac is on it while having a catchment at the dust port. The locking shaft rusts. However, I'm not using it to make a space telescope. That extra wide cut capacity is SWEET. Runs just as good on the powerstation. That slope in the miter gauge, I just push it to one side while pushing forward. Table also doubles as a miter saw stand.
I ended up squaring off the blade. Mine was pretty square out of the box. I haven't had any problems with the legs yet, but we'll see how they hold up. I ended up getting a bag to hang off the dust port. It does pretty good, but there is still plenty of dust that comes out of the blade slot. I never thought I would need to cut anything over 24", but I've already needed to make 30" cuts, so I agree about the right side cut capacity. Overall, I think it's a great saw. Surely the best one I've ever had, it's also the first time I've paid over $300 for one too.
Thank you so much for this detailed and easy to follow video! This was great for a newbie like myself. ❤
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for the review. Exactly what I was looking for. Cheers!
Glad to hear it!
Explanation and complete information. Thank you very much for the clarification with the details of the table saw, and I have been in need of such an explanation for a while. It's a little in TH-cam videos
Thank You Passerby. I'm glad it was helpful.
Great instructional video. I just got this new saw (opened a Lowe's charge account to get $100 discount) and this video was very helpful in getting me started. I am signed up for a Table Saw Basics class next month (Rockler) so that I can have someone watch me and fix any bad habits while I'm still developing them. Thanks for the great instructions!
Hi Monique, that's awesome. You picked a really good saw. I love mine. Good luck with your classes. Rockler is very good.
Just got one of these bad boys and watching your video taught me every little thing I needed to know about it! Appreciate it.
You bet.
I've been trying to decide between this saw and a Bosch. Your video helped me to choose this one.
Hey Rick, I'm glad you found the video helpful.
I have a link in the description to the lowest price I could find on Amazon.
You’ll LOVE it!
I chose a SawStop because it has a safety feature that saves fingers. No other saw has this feature. The engineering of the SawStop is incredible. The assembly instructions are unmatched and goof proof. I was a freelance court reporter, and I reported many depositions of people who had amputation accidents with their table saws and I saw first-hand how debilitating these injuries were. These injuries destroyed careers and tore apart families due to financial hardship. So I bought a SawStop to give me the opportunity to keep my fingers. I don’t know about you, but MY fingers are well worth the little extra money I paid for my Saw Stop. Good luck. It’s not IF you will have an accident with your table saw, it’s when.
@@WeGoWalk You made a good choice for sure. I hope you are wrong about the not if but when part.
Thanks for this series on this saw! Made my life easier and now I'm s subscribed.
Hey RayaBeanK9, Glad you found these videos helpful, and thanks for the sub.
Thank you for the Awesome Video, I just ordered one of these Saws, I’m excited to get! Your Video will make my Setup a Cinch 👍
Hey Idaho lewis, I'm glad you found those videos helpful. Good luck with your new saw, I'm sure you are going to love it. I've really enjoyed mine.
Great video. Really helped me in getting it setup and running!
That's awesome Nick. Glad it was helpful.
Great video! Very helpful. Thank you for posting.
I found a retaining wingnut for the storage of the blade guard. When you put it in its storage position lift up the rive end and there is a spring loaded wingnut that holds the unit in place.
Did not know that. Thanks for the tip.
Nice presentation pace! Thank you.
Thanks Chang, I'm glad it was helpful.
Better than the manual. Thanks for this! My only question is where to store the Irving knife when not in use?!
Thanks so much! You explained everything so well! I really enjoyed watching it and look forward to dialing mine it!
That's awesome. You are going to love your saw. I would buy this saw again in a heartbeat.
@@TheWoodHaven Do you have to use the stand?Im wanting to use it incorporated into a work bench to have an out feed table.Thanks for any information.
@@pedrohippocaus8488 You do not need to use the stand. It works fine with or without it.
Got mine 6 months ago really good saw.
Bruce, I'm really enjoying mine. It's a great saw.
I love not having to use my square every time I move the fence.
Great video. thank you very much. Really helped me with my new Dewalt table saw.
Very informative. I wish I would've watched this before assembling and using mine for the first time. Lots of guess work could've been avoided.
Hey Michael, I'm glad you found it helpful. Either way, you are going to love this saw.
I'm here from the future and maybe doing a little table saw research. :) Your video was very high up on search results for this model! :)
Biggest complaint about this saw is the inability to adjust the fence to be square with the blade. Only solution that does not void the warranty (if yours is out of square) is to build an aux fence. There are other ways to fix this but they will void the warranty. Mine was not out of square so I've been ok. I love this saw and would buy it again.
EDIT: by out of square, I mean 90 to the table and thus parallel to the blade.
Excellent explanation and video..thanks buddy
I've watched many! Dewalt table saw reviews and yours is the best out of all. Informative, calm, thorough, no theatrics! Thanks! SUBSCRIBE
Wow, thanks!
Thank you great video. I seem to have an issue where if you shake the dust port at the back there is quite a bit of side to side play. This surely must effect the accuracy of cuts. Do you have this issue at all?
I haven't seen that.
How do you deal with blade wobble? Do you replace the blade or the motor the arbor seems to have a but of play on mine when I shake it.
Just purchased this table saw. Great video....
You are going to love that saw.
Thank you for another awesome video. I have a question about the rip fence, more specifically the part that flips over. The rip fence is parallel to the blade and perpendicular to the table. However, when I flip the other rip fence piece over, its angle is not 0 degrees (i.e. flat), but rather its sitting at 3.2 degrees...so if I slide a piece of wood from the table itself, it hits this flipped over rip fence (because its not 0 degrees). Hope I am making sense, have pictures to clarify. I have had a play with the screws on either side of the rip fence, but they dont do much. Do you have any ideas on how to solve this problem? Thank you.
Thank you for the great video. It helped me getting started.
That's awesome, I'm glad it helped.
Thanks for the video, just what I needed.
Glad you found it helpful.
Thank you. A very easy video to follow.
Thanks Simon, I'm glad you liked it.
Excellent saw! Made the mistake of buying the Ryobi at first... couldn’t even cut a piece of mdf properly. Got the DeWalt and what a difference
It's the best saw I've ever owned for sure.
Mark M same mistake here! Throw the Ryobi away in 2 months.
Thanks for this, nicely done!
Absolutely Larry, I hope you enjoy your saw.
How did you install the painters tape on the mitre gauge?
Nice video, Good teachings, clear and very useful
Thanks Arturo, I really appreciate it.
Another great informative video...Thanks for taking the time! New sub and I see that I have many hours of video to enjoy!
I'm glad you found these videos useful. Welcome to the channel.
I found adding a cable tie around the spring loaded pinion on the rack and pinion fence really tightened up the slop on the fence, and made it much more consistent.
Thanks for the tip Danny.
@Danny Cisco: I have this saw myself. Had it about 5 years and love it. I'm curious about your mod, and would like to try it. Where exactly do you place this zip tie? My fence has gained a bit of slop over the years.
Offering another tip: my miter gauge had loads of slop in it. I bought and usually use a much better adjustable t-track gauge, but if I haul it to a neighbor's to help cut something or take it in my truck, I dont take that miter gauge - I use the factory miter gauge that comes with the saw - which has LOADS of slop in it. On the factory gauge, I cut strips of aluminum air duct tape (roughly 1/4" wide by the length of the miter bar) along one side rail of the miter t-track bar. I added one strip at a time until there was no more slop in the gauge but it still glides super smooth. Then I trimmed with an Xacto knife so no tape edges would cause hangups or cause the tape to peel off prematurely. Finally, I waxed both the bar (with the tape on it) and the slot, and it glides silky smooth. It made the DeWalt miter gauge actually usable.
@@danhartman9087 I see if I can describe it better! If you look underneath, you will see that there is an axle that connects the knob you turn to adjust the fence, to the 2 pinion gears that move along the racks. Also, above it, there is a second rod, which operates the lock mechanism. I simply used 2 cable ties, one near each pinion gear, around both the pinion axle and the locking rod, effectively squeezing the pinion gear tighter onto the rack. Alternatively You could disassemble the little spring-loaded box and fit stiffer springs, but the cable tie seemed to work great, and still has enough stretch, that I'm not worried about causing anything to bind up.
I also did a couple more successful mods to the mitre gauge! A shim around the pivot pin made from a tiny piece of aluminium cut from a disposable BBQ tray tightened up the slop in the angle. Some yellow paint pen over the degrees markings for improved readability ( Hint, don't neatly colour in each number, just flood the area and let the raised numbers become darker as the paint puddles to the lower surface). And a red pointer that is finer and more adjustable made from a piece of thin plastic (scavenged from some plastic packaging from a new saw blade), scored on the back with a knife and with red marker rubbed in, and secured in place with the large factory red pointer. It is folded with a zig zag bend bend so that it now overlays the newly painted numbers with an accurate thin red line.
Woodhaven, thank you again for your set up videos on this saw. I didn’t realize I had posted ON the set up for this saw 🤣😂 but I watched BOTH videos and I’m glad I did. My blade was off almost 2 degrees. Well I’m building my daughters their loft beds and TRYING to build stair stringers but that’s a tough one 🤣 the beds are easy the stairs are not so easy ... my dewalt 618 router just got here today and now I’m debating on building the table for it or buy one, and my set of Freud bits. I now have the dewalt 735 planer my delta W1668 drill press my DWE7491 table saw also my DWS 780 miter saw. Only thing left I’m TRYING to shop for is a REALLY good jointer. But I don’t want to spend a ton of money.. like under a $1,000. I also have all the power tools and basics for my shop. Oh my wife just ordered me the KREG foreman pocket hole machine.
PS... I once had a nice set up in my old shop with lots of hand me down tools from my grandfather but I like a lot of men lost Everything in a bad marriage of 20 years now my new wife is buying me up everything to have a new shop ( so I can build her everything she wants around our new home in the country )😂🤣 she tells me. I would like to ask you questions about you shop as I watch all your videos. Only power tools need to really learn is the router. I’ve come to realize that you can do ANYTHING and AMAZING things with a router 😄😄 thank you again and any advice on any other handy power tools or something in the shop I could use let me know ... thank you and god bless
Well, the tools I use the most are my hand drills, hand router, sander, table saw, miter saw and circular saw. Another tool I use a lot is my battery operated brad nailer. Every other tool I have are nice to haves, but I don't use as often. Sounds like you are building a nice shop. You already have more tools than I have.

Hey, at 9:33 minute you are able to put the square on the thin fence set as support/extension and it looks leveled. On mine, rails are sagging and that results in a dip. Are you aware of fix for that? Thanks
Great video! Just purchased and setup went ok except for storage of blade guard assembly. How is this done. Also, I noticed you removed the rifling knife prior to storage. How is the knife removed? Thank you!
Hey Joe, watch my last video. It covers all of that.
Thank you so much for making this detailed video! I have a question, after setting the blade to 90 with a digital angle finder, I noticed that when I set the blade to 45, it rubs on the throat plate more than I'd like. Is that normal or is there an adjustment for that. The throat plate has a decent bit of play in it from left to right. Just curious if you have this problem as well. Cheers!
Hi Aaron, I don't have that problem with my saw. One thing I did before setting my blade to 45 was to lower the throat plate so that I could pass lumber over it without it catching.
That may be why I don't have that issue.
Thanks for your information, really good!
Glad it was helpful!
excellent video, very helpful, thanks for putting this together!!!
Hey Phil, I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment.
I need one nice was my friend thanks for the video.
I'm sure liking it so far.
good evening. I watched your video, it was very good, alias excellent explanation. a question : this Molelo DWE 7491 ROLLING STAND has 230/240Volts.?
Hi Paulo, the saw that I bought in the u.S. is 120V, but you can get 240V outside the U.S. if the saw is available.
If you have dust collection hooked up below the saw and on the blade guard how much saw dust does it actually capture? Thanks for the detailed video review!!
I don't have dust collection on the blade guard, so I don't know for sure, but I've read that with both you get in the 90s percent wise.
One thing I've noticed is that when I have my shop vac connected to my saw, it alone is high 80s, but when I use a dust collection bag, I get more dust come up through the blade area. I have not tried dust bag with my shop vac on my blade guard. Might be a good test.
Thanks for the overview.
Hey Jonathon, I'm glad it was helpful.
Fantastic video. Thank you sir.
Thank you, your walk thru was 100xs better than the crappy instruction book..
Yeah, that instruction book is useless.
Thanks - helpful just concerned about that example cut - shouldn’t the blade be way lower?
You weren't supposed to notice that. WAY LOWER.
I just got this saw and was really surprised at the bevel adjustment. I can't believe you just move it by hand!
For the price, it's a really nice saw.
Great info, thanks. not sure why allot of people having problems reading the instructions. I found them quite easy to follow and understand.Also, you checked the blade at 90, but you did not
check for parallel blade.
Hey Glen, thanks for the comment. Regarding the instructions, there were very poorly written. One of my responsibilities at my job is to write technical documentation, and probably half my audience is people whose native language is not English. This taught me to write to all people's levels of understanding. You had no problem understanding the instructions, but I couldn't make heads or tails of them. They weren't written for me and probably 90% of their audience. They were written for the 10% who have no problem filling in the gaps that these instructions were riddled with...people like you. Regarding setting the blade to be parallel with the fence, you are right. I forgot to include that and added it to a follow-up video. Again, thanks for the comment.
Hi - Very helpful video! I do have a question though. I watched this yesterday when swapping out my blade for an 80T. It wasn't square, so I removed the blade height adjustment crank to adjust the camber. After I put the crank back on, the height adjustment wouldn't budge -- the two gears underneath just wobble back and forth against each other when you try turning it (and I did confirm the roll pin was reinstalled correctly). The gears are clean and free of debris. I even uninstalled the blade and put the old one back on and that doesn't affect anything. Any idea what might be causing this? Thanks!!
I'm not sure, but I know there is a screw that adjusts the tightness of the blade on the front end. This screw is not meant to be tightened. If it is it will cause the blade to stop adjusting properly.
These saws are under warranty. Log onto dewault.com and register the saw, then look for a close authorized repair shop and they will repair it for no charge.
This was way more helpful than their instructions.
Thanks Zenkai76, I appreciate it.
Excellent explanation and review....thanks
Hey Thomas, glad you found it useful.
Thank you for this. Well done.
You are welcome. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Exactly what i needed! You sir are a hero lol
Thanks for a great video. Just got my saw and this helped enormously with getting it set up. Love the tip about the painters tape... Worked a treat! I do have one question that was not covered off about the anti-kickback assembly. Is this something you have used or would recommend using? If so can you do a short video showing how it get it off its storage place under the saw and proper installation of it?
Hey Ronald, I'm glad you like the saw. It has been my favorite table saw so far.
@@TheWoodHaven I have the same question as Ronald regarding the anti-kickback assembly that’s stored underneath. Tonight I was finishing installing the saw to the stand and had it upside down when I noticed the anti-kickback mounted underneath in a storage area. I figured out how to get it off but not sure where it goes. I didn’t see it in your video. Thanks.
@@stevehorvat69 @Ronald Eriston you know, there have been enough questions on this that I should probably do another video, but the way to install it is onto the riving knife that is part of the blade guard. It will not install on the stand alone riving knife. If you look on the back side of the blade guard riving knife, there is a small divit. Place the anti-kickback assembly with the teeth facing down and back and while pushing the locking pin to the side, slide the assembly onto the divit, then let go of the pin and it should be locked in place.
Loved this video! Thank you!
Hi Kayla, you are very welcome.
Great review!
Thanks justice07mc. I hope it helps you.
How did you hang your push stick on the fence? Are there special clips for this?
Yes, there are clips on the right side of the fence. The push stick that comes with the saw fits perfectly. It's readily available exactly where you need it.
It's a nice setup.
Could you do a video on getting the blade adjusted to 90? My digital reader shows it at 89.4-89.6 not true 90. Thank you for a great video.
I will mention this in my next video. unfortunately, there is not way to adjust the fence being less or more than 90 degrees with the table. You can fix it with a hack, but there are no screw adjustments that can be made.
Very well explained , Thank you
Thank you Stavros. I'm glad it was helpful.
Another trick for a sloppy mitre slot is if your mitre gauge has a solid metal bar, you can take a center punch and make some divots along the edge of the bar and it will leave a small "mushrooming" around each divot and it can fill in the slop.
Nice idea.
Great video. One problem I am having is after using it on a shelf unit project, the blade slowly retracts as the saw is running. I can see the blade height adjustment wheel slowly turn backwards resulting in the blade lowering. ANy ideas?
Man Steve, never heard of that one. All I can think of is to make sure your adjustment wheel is tight enough. If you are still under warranty, you might want to take it to the nearest shop to have that looked at. Sounds like a safety hazzard.
Great video, thanks brother! one question - how do I reverse the bevel on the saw? Is there a way to do this? When I flip my board upside down it doesnt fix it and I'm so confused...thx brotha
Move the fence to the other side of the blade.
@@TheWoodHaven Hmm I tried that but it didn't work. I'm bevel cutting some long siding boards and trying to use the bevel so that it appears flush above the window trim. I have a seam in the middle of the window, and when I try to bevel the other shorter piece of siding to butt into it, the bevel comes out going the wrong way. I can't flip the board as I do not want to damage that section of board. Hmm
@@coreyk2998 cut the left board on the left side of the blade, then the right board on the right side of the blade. It should come out just right.
