How to unlock dewalt circular saw
DEWALT DW715 - Unbox & Review!!
hey guys Jimmy here with the general
expert channel here on YouTube I have a
pretty big job going on right now in
which I have to replace all of the
baseboards in my entire house the only
problem with that is I don't own a miter
saw I went online and started doing some
research my goal was to spend $200 or
less on a really good miter saw what I
learned was there's a lot of different
options including dual bevel compound
miter saw single bevel compound miter
saw then you have the 10-inch blade
versus the 12 inch blade I did what
pretty much everyone else is gonna do
and I went to Home Depot and Lowe's
website and I just basically looked at
what they had I knew right off the bat
that I was looking for the big names
like Dewalt Makita rigid what I found
with Home Depot was they had a really
nice rigid 10 inch dual bevel compound
miter saw that was right at that $1.99
price point I also found dEWALT's had a
12-inch single bevel compound miter saw
that was on sale for $1.99 now both of
their websites listed the list price as
299 and it was on sale I guess for like
$50 off and then another 50 off and so
down to $1.99 and the thing about that
one was it wasn't in stock at Home Depot
was in stock at Lowe's so the only other
one I considered was the brand hitachi
hitachi had a nice dual bevel compound
miter saw 12 inch blade that was also
$1.99 on sale luckily when I went to
Lowe's the DeWalt and the Hitachi were
sitting right next to each other and the
Hitachi just didn't seem as high a
quality as the DeWalt did I know
obviously you can't really go wrong with
Dewalt and there's many people out there
who swear by them but I just wanted to
see what else was out there in the end I
ended up picking up the DeWalt dw7 1-5
what's odd is my quest on youtube to try
to find a really good miter saw for a
good decent price point really there's
not a lot of videos on these things so I
figured I'm just gonna go ahead and make
an unboxing video right now so you can
see exactly what comes in the box of
this thing and I'll also make a first
use video when I actually start cutting
all these baseboards without further ado
let's dive right in
the good thing is is none of this
styrofoam looks broken so I'm pretty
much betting that this thing's never
been dropped off of a forklift or
something we have a couple parts here
looks like some kind of tool and oh this
might be the dust bag so let's go ahead
and take this styrofoam out of here if
we can get it out
look at this thing holy schmoly z-- wow
that is a good-looking tool man I have
to admit one thing that I noticed on
many of the other brands that I looked
at is I think these are called the
fences and maybe the table I guess I
don't know but these pieces here are
machined really nice on this Dewalt and
I really didn't see as high quality at
machining in this and the on these areas
on any of the other machines really as
the DeWalt had alright so this is it
guys this is the DeWalt DW seven one
five single bevel compound miter saw 12
inch of course one of the reasons why I
went this route versus a dual bevel ten
inch is I believe this 12 inch blade
allows you to cut a lot more than you'd
be able to cut with the ten inch and I
just don't think that I'm gonna
absolutely need the dual bevel scenario
anytime soon so I think that this saw
being a single bevel is gonna be just
fine for me in case you don't know how
to raise the saw handle back here
there's a little pin just push down on
the saw pull this pin out and the saw
handle then is able to come right up
also to turn it you're going to want to
make sure that this tab is not down like
this because this locks it into place
make sure the tab is up and then there's
a tab underneath you press and you can
turn it whichever way you want also I
like that this saw comes with a blade
I'm not sure if they all do but this one
did it is a general-purpose blade with
32 teeth now that should be just fine
for cutting this baseboard that's made
out of MDF what you see back here is the
scale for the bevels and you can see it
goes beyond 45 degrees in order to get
that to move you'd actually loosen this
handle back here
and you simply push the machine to the
desired angle and then you just simply
tighten this back up nice and tight so
here's the dust bag and from what I've
been able to learn most of these saws
have dust bags and everyone says they
pretty much are useless so I'm sure this
is just kind of like hey yeah we got a
dust bag but I don't expect this to
really be catching very much dust to put
the dust bag on you're really just gonna
slide it over that and press it on and
you're good so that's it guys this is
the saw and that looks fantastic
feels fantastic this thing looks like
it'll last me the rest of my life
there's still some things I'm gonna have
to learn about this and how to use it
but overall I'm really impressed with
just the general build quality the types
of materials they use and just how
everything looks really nice I know this
was just simply pulling the unit out of
the box but I just wanted to show that
in case any of you guys wanted to see
exactly what this thing looks like brand
new out of the box does that's what I
was looking for when I was searching for
him in terms of price like I was telling
you I went to Lowe's to pick this up and
I actually used my Lowe's credit card
which gave me another 5% off so I think
my before tax price was around 189 for
this thing which I'm pretty sure is a
pretty good deal I'm really happy with
it so far I've not used it yet but I'm
sure it's a Dewalt that's gonna work
extremely well all right guys you didn't
think I was gonna end this video without
at least ripping through one board so
let's go ahead and do this
[Music]
Wow that sucker was powerful here's
those cuts with that 32 tooth blade very
very nice look at that
beautiful so that'll do it for this
