How to Set Up your DeWALT DWE7491RS table saw

[@MarkOrtiz-yb7nk]

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. 👍

[@valerieschniepp6623]

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!

[@TheWoodHaven]

That's awesome Valerie. You are going to love this saw. Good luck with your projects.

[@Kingofthewildfrontierr]

You sound awesome!! What a badass

[@stuartgerger7828]

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!

[@TheWoodHaven]

Thanks Stuart, not sure it lived up to all that, but thanks none the less.

Thanks for making. Just bought this saw and table and couldn't figure out the "storage". Your explanation was excellent!

[@TheWoodHaven]

Thanks Ed.

[@joedance14]

Those “throat plates” sometimes sag. Either way, it’s a good idea to make a replacement to get zero clearance and cleaner cuts. Thin plywood or underlayment make good material for a table saw insert (throat plate).

[@TheWoodHaven]

Good info

[@dlwnd1]

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.

Thanks Eric, Glad it helped

[@majen66]

I had a pin (5/8's long hollow pin with a splice down the shaft)fall out of the shaft on the wheel lol. Now i can't put the wheel back on to attach the handle, the mechanism just spins. Called DeWalt customer service and got a lady who knew nothing about the saw. Had me send an email with pictures. Hope i don't have to load it all up and drive 60 miles to HomeDepot to replace it :(. Your tips worked great though! Got the fence and blade all done plus adjusted the stops and dial.

[@TheWoodHaven]

Sorry to hear about your pin. Good chance there is a DeWalt repair shop nearby. Warranty will cover any repairs.

[@brooksfamily6009]

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!

[@TheWoodHaven]

That's awesome. I really like my Dewalt saw. It's the nicest saw I've ever owned, so we have something in common.

[@StephenTinius]

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.

[@danielmiller2660]

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.

[@asutcliffe25]

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.

[@TheWoodHaven]

That was exactly my experience too. Glad the video helped out.

[@jimg2885]

Very good video. You had put in text that you forgot to lower the blade while ripping the 2" rip to check the accuracy of the rip fence measurement. I have been using a table saw for over 50 years and when I cut thin plywood or material I always bring the blade up pretty good so like how you had it it forces the material down against the table. Doesn't have to be quite as high as you had it but many lower the blade so it is just a bit higher that material and that can cause the material to lift. Again very informative video.

[@matthewsee3745]

Just bought this saw yesterday (9/23/21). This video is much better than reading the manual. Thanks

[@TheWoodHaven]

That manual was written for people that don't need a manual. I didn't understand any of it.

[@TheWoodHaven]

[@TheWoodHaven]

Hey Steve, it's the best saw I've ever had. Full disclosure, I usually get saws in the $100-300 range.

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.

[@TheWoodHaven]

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.

[@stevebriggs9399]

There's an ajustment for aligning the miter slots to the blade. That should always be checked before aligning the fence to the miter slots. There's also adjustment to align the riving knife to the blade.

[@MattG293]

Better than the manual. Thanks for this! My only question is where to store the Irving knife when not in use?!

[@tensazero]

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.

[@TheWoodHaven]

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.

[@thampyshany]

Can you please how to make the Blade guard( the splitter) is off the plane of the riving blade ! How to adjust the guard to sit the same plane as the riving blade ! Even after adjusting the bottom 2 hex screws they are NOT in the same plane !

[@TheWoodHaven]

Ok, got it now. Do you need to move your splitter to the left or to the right in order to line it up? Loosening the 2 hex screws move it to the left and tigntening moves them to the right. Adjusting the bottom center screw changes the angle in the same manner.

[@Jack-es9xq]

[@Samcraftcom]

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! :)

[@TheWoodHaven]

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.

[@CogentConsult]

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.

[@TheWoodHaven]

@@CogentConsult You made a good choice for sure. I hope you are wrong about the not if but when part.

[@gunner8226]

Would it make more sense to have the bar flipped around so what looks like handles underneath are facing outward?

[@TheWoodHaven]

Might be worth a try.

[@dannycisco8289]

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.

[@TheWoodHaven]

Thanks for the tip Danny.

[@danhartman9087]

@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.

[@dannycisco8289]

@@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.

[@dannycisco8289]

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.

@@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

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.

[@TheWoodHaven]

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.

thanks for your video. just a tip... the fence needs to be squared to the blade, not the end of the table. i think dewalt squares the fences on their saws to the end of the table, as you did, because they don't have blades mounted to properly square the fences in a manufacturing environment. Also, the mitre gauge is squared to the blade as well.

[@wesleymorris9990]

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.

[@chrisferguson237]

Thank you for this! I just used this set-up video to check mine and adjust mine. Cheers. Like and Subscribed.

Thanks for the sub!

Ditto here. It keeps selling out online. Best detailed video on this portable table saw.

[@TheWoodHaven]

I have a link to it in my Amazon store. Link in the description.

[@BigDave71]

@@TheWoodHaven a million thanks

[@wyattsutphin]

I purchased this saw about a year ago. I would give it 5 stars if it wasnt for the slightly warped table these things have. I noticed the lack of flatness in yours while you were leveling the rear of the throat plate as well. Great video though!

[@TheWoodHaven]

These are really great saws, but like you know, they are jobsite saws and have flaws like all jobsite saws. Even with their issues, it's still the nicest saw I've ever owned. Not sure what that says about me.

[@mikeschanning]

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.

[@TheWoodHaven]

Hey Michael, I'm glad you found it helpful. Either way, you are going to love this saw.

[@paulodanielantonini3201]

good evening. I watched your video, it was very good, alias excellent explanation. a question : this Molelo DWE 7491 ROLLING STAND has 230/240Volts.?

[@TheWoodHaven]

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.

[@joedavis2955]

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!

[@TheWoodHaven]

Hey Joe, watch my last video. It covers all of that.

[@jerryrose6014]

I just learned a new way to take my saw down! I was also was wondering why you didn't show how to set the blade stop for 45 degree angle. your video was otherwise great. Thanks for the tip.

[@TheWoodHaven]

I forgot to mention a lot of stuff.

[@rpbowers]

excellent video, very helpful, thanks for putting this together!!!

[@TheWoodHaven]

Hey Phil, I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment.

[@luktish]

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

[@BlueSky_114]

Thanks for the video, just what I needed.

[@TheWoodHaven]

Glad you found it helpful.

[@mikep4948]

Excellent video. Sounds like Clint Eastwood!

[@TheWoodHaven]

Well, that's the first time i've heard Clint Eastwood. I usually get Bob Ross.

[@brucemorris6319]

Got mine 6 months ago really good saw.

[@TheWoodHaven]

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.

[@Zenkai76]

This was way more helpful than their instructions.

[@TheWoodHaven]

Thanks Zenkai76, I appreciate it.

[@schulzepoa]

Thank you for the great video. It helped me getting started.

[@TheWoodHaven]

That's awesome, I'm glad it helped.

[@steveclark3327]

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?

[@TheWoodHaven]

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.

[@kennethslater9349]

Important to connect the dust extraction

[@TheWoodHaven]

Agree.

[@reynoirjr]

Exactly what i needed! You sir are a hero lol

[@jeffbaker4219]

Another great informative video...Thanks for taking the time! New sub and I see that I have many hours of video to enjoy!

[@TheWoodHaven]

I'm glad you found these videos useful. Welcome to the channel.

[@be4ze1]

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?

[@TheWoodHaven]

I haven't seen that.

[@aaronkilcoyne5174]

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!

[@TheWoodHaven]

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.
