The Saw Designed For Everybody? | DeWALT DWE7491RS | Review and All Adjustments

[@marykayryan7891]

Watched this again when setting up my saw. THE MOST USEFUL video on this particular Dewalt ANYWHERE ON THE INTERNET. Thank you so much...again.

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

Thanks Mary Kay! Glad I helped!!

[@onthewayup]

Thank you.....one, of only a few people who give well thought out, educated and sincere reviews on anything. So many people on here, (once they turn on a camera) think they are now Bob Vila or Oprah.....and yammer on and on and on. Thank you again....

[@MrVisde]

I inherited a large contractor table saw that I never used because it was big, intimidating, and stored in a corner of my garage I couldn’t work around. I gave it away after years of collecting dust. Enter the DeWalt 10” job site table saw: I love this thing! The portability means I can easily move it into a position and setup a temporary workspace, then put it away without it taking up a large footprint. It feels SOLID. Also, being able to watch KZbin videos like this made me feel comfortable learning about all the different parts of the table saw (there weren’t any available specific for my 1970s contractor saw). It’s just a very convenient table saw for a homeowner to use. If I had a dedicated wood shop, I’d probably use something else. This is perfect for me.

[@AaronAbbey-t8o]

I bought this exact saw about 4 years ago. Thank you so much for the very instructional video on this. You showed me some things I didn't bother to check out when pulling the saw from the box. Just subscribe to your channel, keep the awesomeness coming brother...

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

Glad the video helped Aaron!! Welcome and thanks for watching!

[@downhillindad7689]

Thanks for making this. I just bought this one after burning out a harbor freight tablesaw. I put it together and was just like, "woah" as there was a lot more to this. This is exactly what I needed to understand all the features. I never watch video's this long, but it was really well done, engaging and informative. Really thanks a lot for taking the time to do this.

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

Really happy to hear it helped! Thanks for watching!

[@slimdout]

I built a full sized carriage and outfeed table for this saw, and it makes a pretty damn good "cabinet" saw, in that setup. No complaints after almost 2 years of use in the shop, building counters, cabinets, and other furniture projects 👍

[@PeanutsDadForever]

Thank you for your video. I’m embarrassed that having owned this saw for such a long time that I haven’t been through the calibration steps that you outlined here. A very good video

[@gerrymcintosh4477]

I have an old jobsite table saw from Dewalt. I used it for years and still performs like the day I bought it. A good table saw indeed.

[@maxz2433]

Hey Mike. I like your comparison and thorough walk through videos. I had the 8 ¼" Dewalt job site saw (DWE7485) for a week or two when this model went on sale at the big box store for $550. I returned it and bought the 10" DWE7491RS. I found your video very useful for some of the adjustments and tidbits. To do my bit to support your channel so you can post more quality videos, I subscribed. I also like your no-nonsense, straight shooter style. Good job my man!

[@gregorymacneil2836]

Interesting - I did the exact opposite - got rid of the 10” in favour of the 8” for the portability. I have found the 8” cordless version to be so convenient to toss on a pair of sawhorses and store on a shelf. But that said I do have a track saw for sheet goods and a 3hp Unisaw for the shop.

[@alangreen3425]

I bought this saw 4 yrs ago. It will do everything I ask of it BUT cut accurate crosscut with that miter guage. I replaced it with an Incra brand...and..something not commonly known, I cut a strip the actual width of the miter slot and sanded the bottom flat. No more issues. It does everything I ask of it now with zero problems. I have a small shop, so the ability to fold it up and store it against a wall is a big plus! Thanks for the review. You did a fantastic job!

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

Thanks for watching Alan!

[@para-cad_llc]

I used that saw as configured on the rolling stand in FOB Frontenac 2011. When I got home, I bought my own. Love that table saw.

[@84tiger]

I've had this saw for over 4 years in my garage workshop and it has performed very well. Combine it with a good blade, a decent outfeed table, a crosscut sled, and a few jigs and it will handle almost anything. The only downtime I experienced with this saw was a failure of the blade raising mechanism. There is a threaded steel rod that threads into an aluminum motor mount which lowers or raises the saw when you rotate the spindle. They probably use aluminum for that part to keep the weight down. After about 3 years of use the threads in the aluminum motor mount stripped and the entire mount needed to be replaced. The repair shop indicated that this problem was fairly common with a lot of job site saws and not specific to Dewalt. My advice is keep that mechanism well lubed, with a dry lube preferably and any sign that the mechanism isn't working smoothly lube it again.

[@vincegrey8718]

Also there is a non threaded rod on the other side. That also needs to be lubed at the same time otherwise it will bind.

[@mirkondt9711]

I'd like to thank you for taking the time to produce these very informative videos, like many people in the comment section, you have aided me tremendously as a hobbyist woodworker. Thank you kindly, now I must go ponder Delta or DeWalt.

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

Very happy I helped Paul! Thanks for the comment!

[@Spartan_-du9wi]

I have had this saw for over 5 years now. Great saw! I make cabinets and do high end trim with it. Fence is sturdy never needs adjustments. Motor is more then powerful enough IF you use the right blades for your job. Ex. Ripping I use a thin kerf ripper. All else I use 60+ tooth combo blades. I dado with it as well. Spins up an 8" dado set no problems! I would highly recommend using your compressor to blow out the bottom of the saw and fence rails after all jobs. Then give all adjusting gears on the bottom a good spray with dry lube. You will be very happy you did. The miter gauge supplied is useless for me. I make a ton of jigs for the saw to accomplish everything I need.I hook up my shop vac directly to the dust port and use a dual pluging switch and it works great. My only complaint. And this is minor! The switch recently went on me. I replaced it with a simple 20amp rated light switch and a chrome cover plate using the same internal box to mount it. Came out as a nice clean looking install. And works great! This saw owes me nothing! I have owned a mini max sc3 slider and had to down size. I went cheap and bought the Ridgid equivalent to this saw. Went threw 2 of those garbage saws in less then a year. Got the last one warrantied and sold it asap. Then bought the dewalt, money well spent. Highly recommend.

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

Thank you for the insight! Thanks for watching and Happy New Year!

[@mrjerry28714]

Hey thanks for taking the time to put this up for us weekend warriors to watch. Based on your video I ordered a brand new one just like this. Thanks again!

[@themagicbread94]

I am a bit late here, but just picked one of these up today. I was very close to buying the Skil, but this Dewalt went on sale for $550 and I splurged a bit. This video is so helpful. New subscriber here! FYI, the miter gauge is no longer plastic. The one I purchased today came with an all metal miter gauge with the Dewalt logo and actually seems decent.

[@howard6798]

I found two adjustments off--thank you for this video! Note the DeWalt DWE7491 now comes with a metal miter gauge. Much nicer than the plastic one shown in this video (and your comparison video that ultimately made me choose the DeWalt).

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

Awesome to hear I helped Howard! Thanks for watching!

[@1965ace]

I have one I built two homes with and have been very pleased with it.

[@cristianvel619]

I have this saw and it’s my first table saw. I bought it cause I still wanted to park my car in the garage. It does bog down a little bit when cutting thicker material, but it’s not where I don’t feel safe making the cut. My only complaint is that the table top has little dips and valleys (it’s not flat). I found it impossible to find out if it the blade was truly at 90 degrees with a digital angle finder cause I didn’t have a flat table to reference from. I made a sled for it though and it seems to have fixed that problem, also makes the table top a little bigger. Overall I love this saw and it’s really helped me with projects around the house. I did recently start saving for a bigger 3hp sawstop as I’m now looking for more precision. Thanks for showing how to make all those adjustments, this is the only video I’ve seen that shows that. I’ll save and reference for later.

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

Glad I helped Cristian! I think you’ll be a amazed at what a huge upgrade the Sawstop will be, good luck!

[@markchidester6239]

Do you ever have problems with dust getting into the gears and rack for the fence adjustment?

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

No is all worked normal except for the riving knife adjustment. All the holes were jammed with sawdust to the point I thought I’d strip the bolts. Everything else was spot on.

[@littlejackalo5326]

Your see was defective. I have bought no less than 50 table saws over the past 20 years, and I've never experienced "dips and valleys." I've experienced other inconsistencies, but not a table that wasn't flat. Flat being relative, but flat enough for a portable table saw. Get it replaced under warranty.

[@towerdave4836]

Had mine for a couple of years now. My only complaint is the accuracy and operation of the blade tilt operation. Once set up accurately it’s a joy to use . Love the fence system and store for the prong stick. So important to align the blade with the miter slots and then set the fence to align with the slot and blade. I bought an accurate mitre gauge and a range of saw blades for different applications. Definitely recommend it.

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

Thanks for watching!

[@georgecoffman377]

I own this saw and also a portable contractor saw and there are times I have both set up for different operations. Never would be without both to get a job done with ease.

[@Dodgyasdf]

I just got one of these, they upgraded the miter gauge to metal and have a different mounting system for storing the blade guard. The miter gauge track still has a little slop in it; I've seen others cover the rail on the gauge with painters tape to keep it more snug.

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

Thanks for the tip and for watching!

[@NinjaTheLego]

JAN 2024, I just bought this saw and put it together today and I guess if it works great you don't have to change much, because the saw I put together today (new out of the box) looks just like the one in your video. I did have to pause the video and run outside to look at the miter gauge, I don't think the one on this saw is the original or at least they have greatly improved the one that comes with the saw now. Also behind the fence is a holder for a push stick that came with the saw. I have not turned mine on yet, but I can't wait to use it! It's an upgrade for me, from the little table saw that my brother gave me years ago. So, after watching this great video on the ins and outs of this saw, I'm ready to make something! Thanks.

[@haroldmorick2965]

BLUF: THANK YOU Bought this, read the instruction manual, put it together, and it is still REALLY unclear where the Miter Gauge stowage location was, where the blade replacement wrench stowage location was, and finally where the blade guard stowage location was. This was the most helpful aspect of your video for a new purchaser. Thank you again!

Glad I was able to help! Thanks for the comment!

[@GiGaSzS]

Thank you for the demonstration, looks really good. Also thank you for showing an upgrade for this portable saw, so I know what I could get if I invest more money.

[@georgiafan6618]

I have an original 744 that’s about 24 years old. Still runs but it’s noisy, bogs down often (push slowly), likely needs new motor. It’s mounted to another Dewalt aftermarket rolling stand that is excellent. Stand is easy to manipulate, soft solid wheels, easy to open and break down and has almost no movement when saw in use. Love that stand. I’m looking at this saw above which has more RPMs, larger rip cuts, and useable options. My old Dewalt miter gauge is all metal and it’s accurate enough for a job site saw. I use my old Incra miter gauge. That Delta contractor saw isn’t really portable so it’s gonna be better. I need to bring a saw to a job occasionally so the Dewalt makes sense for me. Demonstrating how to square and check flatness is very helpful! Thanks for a good review! 👍

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

I still have that DeWALT and I’ve used it many times over the last 6 months. I think it still deserve the praise now that I’ve had it for a while. It’s going back to its owner tomorrow so we’ll get a different DeWALT to check out soon. Thanks for watching!

[@santoni58]

I bought mine in 2012 and still going strong…. Very precise for a contractor saw. I build from jewelry boxes to a home with it. I payed $485.00 and it payed for her self.

[@michaelkaplan2190]

Thanks for this review. I’ve owned the saw for years and it meets my needs. I did get an aftermarket miter fence to make crosscuts. At 15:22 you discuss adjusting the fence vertically square to the table. It can be done but not really engineered to do so. The aluminum section is held to the plastic end pieces with screws that are torqued very tightly and possibly held with Loctite. If one can remove these screws, the aluminum section can be shimmed to get the fence vertical. I had to do this. Another solution is to add an auxiliary fence and shim the auxiliary fence. The cut where it was most apparent was when resawing a board when the board was wide enough to require flipping it over to complete the cut. It would leave a slight ridge in the middle.

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

Thanks for the tip!

[@nealnaydo7247]

If you drop the 2 legs to ground by handle 1st, you can grab frame on other end lift and drop other 2 legs. I find it easier and puts less strain on the 2 legs when you flip the entire unit around. Thanks for the content!

I like the quick-release side cover on the blade shroud. Great for when I drop the blade nut into the shroud. On my DW745 I have to go fishing for the nut!

[@Lugnut64052]

Thanks for the excellent review. I've been using the older brother, the DW745 for many years. Love that saw, and it just keeps going and going. As for rip capacity, it's never been an issue for me. I track saw sheet goods down to 16 inches or so, and then they can be run through the DeWalt pretty easily and safely, especially when used with a shop-built outfeed table. And you're right; the miter gauge is a joke.

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

Thanks for the comment! I wouldn’t want to run full sheets through it but I don’t like doing that with my contractor sized saw either. A track saw, even a cheap one make life a lot easier.

[@olhesty2196]

[@daviddesjardines4740]

Nice video. Just got this saw. The user manual can be fairly opaque on some features--and your video gave me the clarifications I was looking for. Thanks!

[@profjohnfrinks]

I bought this saw for a job I've been on over the past year. It's amazing how not one thing is has changed from the saw in the video to my saw, ten years later. Sometimes things are just good. The miter gauge hasn't left its slot. I use a track saw for anything other than rips. Everything was calibrated, I may give it a once over for cabinetry. Other than that, you can't argue with what comes out of the box.

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

It’s definitely a design that’s held up! They’ve been on sale lately and I’m wondering if we won’t see a new model soon. If so we’ll definitely be doing a vid. Thanks for watching!

[@lukemsilver]

I have this one too I love it for a diy homeowner.

[@michaelnichols7669]

This is, in my opinion the best table saw for an onsite carpenter, or someone who only wants to buy one table saw and also be able to bring it on site easily. The Metabo c10rjs and Skil Ts6307-00 are great, cheaper alternatives (currently own the skil and had the metabo but sold it for the Skil due to the Metabo not fitting well in my vehicle). While both are great saws, the Dewalt is nicer, but it is also significantly more. For someone looking for a shop saw I would say your delta looks to be the best for the money. I will be buying the delta for my shop, keeping my Skil for the field, your reviews have been a huge help on my decision. Thank you.

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

Hello Michael! I’ve been eyeballing that Skil saw but it’s really my goal to review everything eventually. The DeWALT is really good and tough to imagine a better job saw. Most of my very minor complaints with it would be plastics used but I’m sure that has more to do with weight savings than cost cutting. Very happy I was able to help! Thanks for watching!

[@rickhayhoe]

Mike, two days ago I received shipment of a new DeWalt DWE7491X, the one with the scissors stand. The difference is inconsequential for the saw itself, of course, and that's the point: your video showing all of the adjustment points on the saw is the most valuable reference I could have as I start checking out the accuracy of the saw. It arrived with no sign of rough handling or the slightest bit of damage, but I assume it's going to need some adjustment after its series of flights from southern California to Seattle, to Anchorage, and finally to Osaka, Japan, and from there by truck freight over three mountain ranges to my home way out on the southernmost coast of Honshu. Many thanks for the excellent demo of all the adjustments possible on the DeWalt. I'm confident I'll be using the knowledge you provide so clearly.

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

Hello Rick! I hope you love that saw! Sounds like it would be tough to return! Thanks for the comment and I’m glad I was able to help. Good luck!

[@rickhayhoe]

[@michaelfoley5203]

One adjustment to the fence that I found out after struggling with some rips - is the fence can be out as much as a 1/4 inch because the grommets holding the fence to the rack and pinion rails can be terribly misaligned right out the box of a new saw. So when you line your fence up and if it is not in line with the bevel loosen the grommets on each side of the fence with an allen wrench square it up - then check the length reading with a tape measure and you may have to go back and forth to get it right so the rule on the machine is accurate again with the fence straightened out. You will have to check all 3 positions. THis is CRITICAL to get a straight rip without bending the blade eventually. you would think the factory would have this set correctly on a new machine. Thanks for all the other settings descriptions.

I've got the 10" wormdrive jobsite saw and it never goes anywhere. I love the thing, but my 8 1/4 Flexvolt Dewalt is what I use on site. It's so easy to transport. Plus, for some stuff I can get away with using 7 1/4 on it (like flooring the other day) and save money that way plus the 8 1/4 blades are way cheaper to begin with. The corded version was 450 I believe, but I got the fast charger, 6AH battery, blade and a few other little things for $550. Totally worth it. And if you have the 9AH battery that's what I've been using and it lasts over a day. Then again, I'm cutting flooring. Great video, totally agree. New sub here.

@@scraplifetrashtocash4551 Interesting. I didn't know that. Looks like i'm even smarter than i thought :) I tend to give Dewalt credit for developing this class of saw. (Maybe I'm wrong about that as well) To my memory they were the first to make a really good job site saw, with the rack and pinion fence and built-in rolling stand. I recall coveting that saw for a decade or so and finally had an excuse to buy one of that class and chose the hitachi. I got real lucky on the timing and only paid $350 for the saw.

My wife and I are starting on the reno on the house we just bought. I'm looking at these saws because I have no desire to become a full-time woodworker, but I'm not sure my circular saw can do everything I might need to do. At the same time, the circular saw and a couple of the Kreg gizmos look like they could do about everything while taking up a tenth as much space as even these little tablesaws.

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

Hello! Congrats on the new house! Years ago I did residential remodeling in high end suburbs of Chicago. The contractor I worked for might have owned a table saw but I never saw it if he did. We did everything by hand with a circular saw. Everything. No gizmos. But I had him to teach me the techniques to work efficiently and safely with limited tools. If you are new to all this I recommend you buy a table saw and learn how to use it effectively and safely. Obviously I don’t know the projects your planning but as general advise it’s easier to rip boards on a table saw than by hand. There’s a never ending supply of cool gizmos out there aimed at costing you time and money. Some are worth it but most are for the hobbyist. If your planning on learning carpentry from videos focus on the older guys who teach safe techniques with basic tools. I have a $350 Skil table saw in the shop now I’m half way through filming. It has similar features to this DeWALT and the legs fold to fit on a shelf. Keep an eye out for that vid in a week or so it looks promising. I hope this helps. Please feel free to post any questions.

I had the Delta saw in the background, it had the same issue. Both ends of the fence were never the same. I had to push the other end to make it square, which was a pain. The Delta was a smooth saw, but that issue will keep me from buying it again. I'm going with the DeWalt instead.

[@dankcoyote]

I own this saw, and the smaller one that takes the 8 1/4" blade. I'm a carpenter/contractor working on mostly exterior projects. We do a lot of custom joinery and mill/router all of our own trim sizes and detail pieces. On top of that I'm remodeling our home. I see no reason to own anything else. Maybe if I was building cabinets and cutting 4x8 sheets all the time I might consider a permanent shop table saw but I see no reason to waste the space on that. For the record, I'm a Milwaukee fan boy, I've purchased(and returned) about every brand of portable table saw. The DeWalt jobsite table saws are the best(in my opinion). I learned carpentry from rough framing I'll tell you the number one thing that was yelled at me was this: "We're not building Fing pianos out here"... The thing is this, the really really nice tools are a nice to do for 99% of projects. You don't need the absolute best tools out there to do your work. When you look at some really nice carpentry work, do you think "I wonder if they used Makita or DeWalt on that one?" Does it do the job you need it to do? That's it.

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

Toughest thing for me reviewing tools is I cant speak about long term durability. I appreciate the feedback! This is the saw I’d buy if I needed the portability or space savings. Looking forward checking out the 8-1/4. Thanks for watching!

I started with a Rigid cast iron table saw many years ago. When I sold my house to move into another house, I decided it was to much of a pain to break it down and set it up again at my new house. I went to the this DeWalt portable saw and didn't skip a beat

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

Its can definitely replace a full size if needed. Thanks for watching!

[@ChrisHornberger]

Sorry if I posted about this previously, but my old Skil table saw had that same fence system, and I wish my big-boy saw had it. It's an amazingly good system, and stupid-easy to calibrate.

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

Loved the fence on this thing. Back in my blue Ryobi days I would have killed for this. Thanks for watching!

[@briantotten6038]

You did a nice review. I bought the same saw a few years ago, and the first thing I did w buy an Incra miter gauge. It is a great saw for my shared car / garage workshop.

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

Thanks Brian! I think the shared car garage is why this saw is as popular as it is. I know my wife wishes we could park in our garage 😂. Ive been window shopping Incra's website for years. Eventually we'll get some of there products for review. Thanks for watching!

[@Momoka7]

I had two Ryobi saws, they trash. Where the first one(a old hand-me-down) had small springs to help the blade raising mechanism to get back up, the new one didn't. Which made the crank break fast. The DeWalt here not only has a rack & pinion to raise/lower the blade... it is METAL as well. Really sturdy little saw with a good build quality. This thing only makes me want to go out of my way to buy DeWalt stuff for most of my tools! My DeWalt came with a all metal miter gauge. I would have bought that small one of Delta Contractor saw, but I heard it struggles on a 15amp plug. That was my main reason for grabbing the DeWalt here. Nice review!

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

Hello Bizarro! I do not miss my old Ryobi job saw. It really was junk. I’ve read the reviews on the Delta job saw and they aren’t promising but I’ll get one to test eventually. My Delta contractor is on a 20amp circuit and it’s pretty strong with no struggling. Thanks for watching!

[@Momoka7]

@@ProjectsForAllReviews Yeah I originally read that Delta Tablesaw has issues, where the motor burns out. So many people brought it back. This made me weary to buy one, or that Rigid lookalike-in-orange. Then I read, the motor can/will burn out if you run it on a 15amp outlet, not a 20amp one. So yeah that buried the Delta for me. If I need to upgrade my power outlet in my garage I'd rather build a 220volt one in, for the big boy toys... not just a 20amp one.😁

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

Makes sense. When I built the garage I installed a 100 amp panel. There’s 2 50amp circuits on either side for the welder and a 30amp for the heater also about 60 outlets on 20 amp circuits. Went a little crazy because my old garage electric was so bad I couldn’t run my small compressor. All that said I went with the Delta over a 220v model because I didn’t really see the advantage. I believe the motor runs cooler and possibly lasts longer but I rarely run the saw for hours on end.

[@Momoka7]

@@ProjectsForAllReviews Honestly, "Went a little crazy"... if you plan to do some work, Metal or Wood, and you want "room upwards" you can't get crazy enough with energy possibility. If you have the space and maybe a chance to make money the only thing holding you back to get a real big machine is the electricity. Welding. I keep see people on KZbin weld and I would like to try it as well. Not structural stuff just small things, but I am not so sure if I not burn out the cables in my wall and so far I not found anyone I can trust that told me its fine.

[@MrLeram12]

Thanks for th video. I have one and I really like it. Great job!

[@libertarian1637]

I own this saw and have since it first same put and think it’s great; it isn’t a crazy big fence though, it only goes right to 33 odd inches. This will run a dado stack and adds some easy mobility. I’ve have added table extensions both left and other and even installed a router insert; the stand still carry’s it well and is still very stable. This saw is quite well motored and can easily get to 14-18 Amps at 125 Volts while cutting equating to just under 2 HP. This runs nice on a 20 Amp breaker but will readily trip a 15 Amp breaker under load. You can flip the bottom legs up and down with your feet so you font have to bend down.

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

Thanks for the insight and for watching!

[@seanroberts381]

I've just had too many of the Dewalt rack and pinion fences jam up with sawdust. I always liked the Bosch fence setup better. Now Ive moved to the Sawstop Jobsite Pro and absolutely love it.

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

I’ll pay extra attention to the fence differences when we eventually get a Bosch in to review. Looking forward to getting that Sawstop in for testing too. Looks really good. Thanks for the tip Sean!

[@loganmedia1142]

How do you get so much saw dust in there that you manage to jam those large teeth?

[@richardlug6139]

@@ProjectsForAllReviews If at all possible review the Skill-saw SPT99-11 which is in this cat. I chose it over the Dewalt mainly because of the fence it seemed a little heavier and has T-Slots built into the front and top of the fence which is nice for attaching stops and axillary fences to the main fence.

[@ILruffian]

@@loganmedia1142 Agree. I've heard nothing but great things about DeWalt rack and pinion fences (just got mine yesterday). I would think dust extractor or compressed air would handle that.

I have this saw. My first table saw. I like it. It’s accurate and powerful for 3/4” materials. With a good calibration it’s only real holdup is the size of its top.

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

I really liked this saw Richard but I agree the table feels short to feed. There’s always concessions when portability is involved. You got a pretty great saw for your first one! My first saw was a $125 blue Ryobi with a fence that didn’t lock. Thankfully it wasn’t powerful enough to kick back too hard. Thanks for watching!

[@bambambundy6]

I have looked at this saw over and over. I have decided on this one time and again! My problem is Im cheap! lol Its just time to pull the trigger and dump the old saw!!

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

Good luck with the new saw (if you buy it) 😂👍

[@toddb7154]

This is the saw I used when I started my woodworking journey. I also used it for the occasional handyman job and it served itself well until it died after less than three years. I changed the brushes, switches among many other things and it wouldn't turn on. I would advise anyone to see if there is a repair facility in your area if you can't repair it yourself. I found out I didn't have one that was within 50 miles of my house. I ended up putting it on the side of the road and got a Jet 3hp saw and couldn't be happier

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

Sad to hear it didn’t last but I’m sure there’s no comparison to the Jet. Thanks for the info!

[@MicRuLerZ]

Did you test for power at the switch, the power cord or some terminal might have a short

[@ActinOut]

Just got the setup. I like it but it's kind of bulky attached to the cart. Makes it akward to go in my work trailer. I'm looking for some kind of quick release for attaching the saw to the stand so I don't have to bolt the two together. Most other dewalt pro level tools have a way to do this, like the miter saws quick release and attaching clamp to pair it with an extender table. So far, I haven't found anything for this.

[@08c6vette]

I’ve watched two of your review videos and they are really well done and informative. You’re pretty thorough but I have yet to see you check the tables for flatness which is as important as fence and miter slot alignment to the blade.

[@RH-zl7zb]

I'm trying to make the decision between Delta and Dewalt too. Fortunately, he got both of them and his review straight to the point! I have watched a bunch of reviews about these two, but they didn't really point out anything. I'm so mad that KZbin never suggested this video to me sooner. Could've saved me plenty of time for real. I think I'm going for Dewalt instead lol

[@endall39]

Two years in, best saw I’ve had. They made all the right choices for size and function. My only complaint is the under-edge of the table is rough on the back of the hand when operating the fence locking handle.

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

Thanks for watching!

[@stevesiefken6432]

I’ve had this saw for 5 years now. Overall I really like it. It’s very accurate and I love the rack and pinion fence. Overall the saw has pretty good power but cutting 2” walnut will bog the motor down. The things I don’t like about is are: 1. Small table size. I ended up making an extension that helps somewhat but… 2. I HATE the vibration. I really wanted the delta saw you have but, at the time, I needed to have the portability of the Dewalt. 3. Related to table size, I don’t like the small infeed size (distance between tabletop front and the blade. There are some work arounds I’ve found but… Having said all that, I do like the saw a lot and it remains the workhorse in my shop. Great review! 👍🏻✅

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

Thanks Steve! I did notice the infeed was cramped but kinda figured I was spoiled with my contractor saw. It really does make a lot of noise and vibration though.

[@jaykeehan5813]

Once i noticed the motor on my 745 staining a bit when ripping about 20-24" of 8/4 cherry and walnut for an end table. I was operating with the blade gullet just clear the surface of the wood and decided that the blade would have more downward leverage (and run cooler) if I raised it up to 3" which is near the full height. Sure enough it began to cut with greater ease--even on hard maple. About the only thing that seems to bind it for me now is a 2x4 with a lot of internal stresses within. If I experience one of those I just put it aside for some other use as it's not worth risking a kickback or damaging the saw for such a cheap piece of wood... So many comments about the crap miter gauge. I've bought many good quality bicycles in my life and they invariably all come with a crappy seat. It's expected that a rider will have a particular notion about what seat they want to use so the sellers figure the stock seat will be immediately junked by just about everyone so that's it's not worth supplying a more costly seat. I suspect the miter gauge is sort of the same--I rarely use the miter gauge for the way I work so it's no biggie to me--certainly not worth harping about when reviewing these saws. I wouldn't had been worth it for me to pay extra for a "nice" gauge that isn't really important to me.

[@NeilBlanchard]

Excellent video - like the one you did on the Skil portable table saw. I wonder if the new version of this DeWalt has height adjustment on the legs? On the crosscut guide - maybe get a second one, and take the 2 rails and make a crosscut box?

[@tyrus0872]

I like the saw, but 10 years old, well he didn't use it much. It has multiple features over my 1988 Makita however what yours has, I've always like most found a way to make it so. Interesting, and well presented, thank you...........lucky you.
