How is that even possible!
I hope youre not just going to swap it for another one! Sounds like crapola to me!I think it's in the casting.

No worries. Just thought I would offer.Thanks for the offer, I just don't want to drive to morganton.
I bought a 15" hitachi. We'll see.
I can’t believe DeWalt could be that bad. Their scms is very highly rated.
since Black and Decker owns them maybe DW is going the route of Porter Cable.
I have a Bosch axial glide. First slider I've owned. Very good saw.
Interesting thread. My newest Dewalt, DW779, is a Taiwan made saw that is seemingly quite well made. I have gone as far as adding the light kit found on the DW780 at a significant savings over the 780. All of the castings seem to be fine and smooth, and the saw seems to be okay. I will keep an eye on it as I go forward. It operates smoothly and cuts straight. The only gripe I had with it is blade guard has some play in it but not enough to impede operation of the saw. I always take the time to square everything up when I am using it. I understand that there will always be bad samples. I have gotten a few myself. Guess I am lucky with this one for now. It could change.
Or all of the above. I can be picky about it too. I have gotten bad samples and it’s just maddening. Especially to return one and still get one with the replacement. If I had another place locally to buy the saw I bought I probably would have. I will never trust mail order for things like that. I’m so anal about it I won’t even consider an item if the box isn’t pristine.This could also be a pre/post pandemic thing. Like they're rushing things out of the factory. It could also be a different taiwanese manufacturer. Or there's just a bad batch at lowes. Or I'm too picky.
There was a lot of variation in fit and finish between just the two saws I bought.
