Couldn't load pickup availability
The DeWalt DWS779 is one of the most popular miter saws ever made — and this is the zero clearance insert it deserves. Precision-fit hardwood, available in Walnut, Cherry, and Ash/Maple/Oak, in Standard, Type 20, and Type 22 configurations to match your exact saw.
Why woodworkers upgrade to hardwood inserts:
- 🎯 Zero tearout — full blade support right to the cut edge; no more splintering on the underside
- 🪵 Real hardwood — stable, flat, and durable; won't flex or warp like the factory plastic
- ✂️ Kerf cut on your saw — your blade cuts the slot for a fit that's exact to your setup
- 🔁 Made to order — fresh and flat when it arrives
Compatible saws: DeWalt DWS779 (Standard · Type 20 · Type 22) · DHS790T2 · DHS790AT2 · DHS790AB
Wood options:
🟤 Walnut — rich dark grain
🍒 Cherry — warm reddish-brown tone
🌿 Ash / Maple / Oak — tight grain, light color, extremely hard-wearing
💡 Not sure which type you have? Check the sticker on the back of your saw near the serial number — it will list the Type number.
Handcrafted in small batches. Flat, precise, and ready to install.

The fit was not good and off by more almost a 1/4" on each side. Sent pictures and specific details and waiting on a response. Could have done this better myself.

Mike is a class act and true professional. There are several “types” of the Dewalt 779. I happen to have a Type 22. It’s screw hole pattern is just fractional different than the Type 20. Mike made the first one, screw holes just didn’t fit. He quickly made a new one and it dropped in with some finesse. Both times the walnut was superb. The fit and finish of his product is excellent with great attention to detail. He’s great to deal with and wants you to be happy with the end product. I recommend him. If your unsure of which type of 779 insert to order, just check the sticker on your machine and talk to him first. He’ll steer you right.
The quality of the wood was very good. The holes were off and I had to widen them to make it work. The seller contacted me immediately to resolve my concern. We determined that the 780 model, which I have, is not compatible with this insert without modifying it. So be aware of this if you are considering buying one. I received 1st class customer service.

Shipping was good. Material quality is good. However the pre drilled holes don’t line up correctly. I’ll need to modify the piece to make it fit.
