Thanks for including the amperage draw. That is super helpful and most don't think about that.

[@paul_dz]

This is by far the most thorough review I've seen on this saw - really like the methods used to check/verify the fence and blade. The vacuum adapter is a nice plus. Thank you.

[@PilgrimPiper]

Greetings from south Louisiana. I just picked up this saw yesterday. I haven't yet unboxed it but will do so shortly. This is 8th video I have watched about the saw and my compliments and gratitude to you. You were thorough with details on how to check various alignments. Peace be with you

[@samgriffiths1017]

Love the unboxing, normally unboxing videos bored the crap out of me !

You had the wheely bar on upside down when you first showed it.i did that too!

Excellent review of Dewalt DWE7485 Table saw. I just got mine a few days ago and can't wait to try it out. Thanks for your review.

[@1stfloorguy59]

I bought one a few days ago it was 299 at Lowes. I was going to buy the bigger saw but I figured I really don't have the room for it right now and I have no projects right now that make it for me to legitimately need the bigger one. I've needed a table saw for like 3 years now. I only buy tools when they are on sale.... I bought a miter saw first and it was great for doing trim and using as a chop saw but I really should have just got the table saw. Miter was a luxury and a table saw is the tool you need if you can only have one.

[@aaronstestlab]

Same story on my end. Miter saw first. Now I use the table saw 10x more.

[@slinger1991]

Great video……very informative ..👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@LWRC]

Got the same saw made by SkilSaw which has a worm drive that makes it more powerful. The SkilSaw also has rounded corners on the feet which makes placing the saw down after carrying easier.

[@aaronstestlab]

I've always been curious if the Skil worm drive is any quieter

[@LWRC]

@@aaronstestlab The majority of the noise from these table saws come from the blade cutting the wood. The worm drive gear or standard gear do not contribute much to the overall noise level. So no, the worm drive is no quieter but it does have significant more power.

[@francoisf195]

Great video! Thanks!

[@whatthehellimbored]

The 10 inch was great but I haven't tried the 8and a half yet.

[@p.t9047]

I'm still trying to line up the fence to perfection on both sides. Only drawback with this saw.

[@wilcat375]

Very nice, I just purchased this saw I'm hoping I can run my 15 amp flex volt battery in it?

[@aaronstestlab]

This is 120V only, they do make a Flexvolt version though

[@scollyer.tuition]

Very nice overview. Thanks. Looks like it needs to be built into a larger outfeed table for any serious use though. I've yet to see a review of this saw that points out any significant problems with it - that doesn't happen too often. (at least, as long as we ignore the $-£ pricing question - what is it - about 300 bucks in the States, £450 in the UK? :-(((

[@ntro-p]

Great video. How did you mount the table saw with the feet on to the stand? The screws that came with the stand are a bit too long. Did you use a different solution?

[@aaronstestlab]

It's been a while. But IIRC, there are pre-tapped holes on the bottom of the saw. If whatever hardware shipped with the stand didn't fit, I probably just went to the store and bought some that did.

[@nathanlief]

@@aaronstestlab I had the same question. It seems like the feet of the table saw are attached to the sliding brackets. I just do not see how they are attached. My feet do not have any holes in them.

[@cherish0709]

Thank you for sharing this useful videom May I know what voltage of the table saw in this video? (Is 110V or 230V?) . Thanks again.

[@aaronstestlab]

120v

@@aaronstestlab Thank you so much:)

[@TheRealGOTdurrrred]

Have you had any problems using that Freud combination blade with the riving knife?

[@aaronstestlab]

No

[@TheRealGOTdurrrred]

@@aaronstestlab thanks. How long have you been using it? The riving knife on the saw says to not use a blade with a plate thickness wider than 0.055" I think that blade has a thickness of 0.063" which I think is the same size as the riving knife. I don't want to be limited to only using DeWalt blades because that seems to be the only recommend blades for the riving knife

[@BigJonkulous]

​@@TheRealGOTdurrrred that's less than one hundredth of an inch difference. I wouldn't worry about it. The riving knife is still going to do its job.

[@TheRealGOTdurrrred]

@@BigJonkulous thanks. My comment was from 2 years ago. I ended up sticking to only DeWalt blades and then eventually upgrading to a SawStop which takes a lot more blades

[@BigJonkulous]

@@TheRealGOTdurrrred I know, but I figured somebody else might have the same question. How has the saw been for you? Do you like it?

[@luisodriozola79]

How about using an 8" Freud thin kerf combination blade in it? doable or crazy dangerous?

[@aaronstestlab]

I did just that in this video

[@luisodriozola79]

@@aaronstestlab Right! did you note any difference safety-wise: riving knife working fine?

[@gomee50]

I brought this saw in New Zealand the arbor shaft size on the blade is 30 mm I also brought the freud blade that you recommended an it is the smaller 5/8 " arbor I have not fitted it as yet the advice I seek is if tightened well enough is it safe to use , many thanks in advance

[@aaronstestlab]

How could you fit a 5/8 hole on a 30 mm spindle?

[@gomee50]

@@aaronstestlab Hi it is a 5/8 spindle but the blade supplied with the saw has a 30mm arbor and has a step? on the lock washer that once tightened holds the blade in place do the dewalt blades supplied with your saw have a 5/8 arbor

[@340polaris]

What couplers are you using? I need to go to 1 1/4 vac

[@canuhonk7433]

Is your table arped? Mine forms a bowl in the middle and slopes to the back right. Not good considering it's new without damage to package.

[@aaronstestlab]

Mine was dead flat. If the table is concaved, I'd exchange for a new one.

[@MatthewRoger]

Thanks, how did you attach the saw legs to the Rolling Stand brackets?

[@aaronstestlab]

There are pre-tapped holes on the bottom of the saw

How accurate is the fence in your experience

[@aaronstestlab]

very, easy to adjust as well

[@FKproduksi888]

Good table saw ...

[@SkyHawk2729]

What size bolts did you use for the stand?

[@karenflowers9611]

The bolts come with the stand, don't remember what size. It's a bit of a hassle getting them threaded but I got it done yesterday.

[@harrybrain8270]

Great video man, two 8 1/4" blades can be put on this saw??

[@iainarthur7713]

Nice review - thanks. Now I just need to get over the price difference between the US & UK :)

[@jothain]

Yeah, just saw this here on Finland and thought that "damn, that's a steep price for such small tool". Then decided to check out few reviews to see that if it's even good and wow.. It's about half the price in US. I would buy it immediately there, but I don't know if I can justify it's price here. Seems way too expensive for what it is.

[@iainarthur7713]

@@jothain I got over the price and bought it. Then sent it back as the table was several mm out - you could rock a straight across it in many places.... The dealer sent a new one same day though and that one is flat. As everyone says, the mitre fence is rubbish, but after duck tape on the bottom and lots of aluminium tape on the sides it's now solid in the groove. Apart from the above it seems great :)

Guys, it's time To go metric, all this "2 and 6 sixteenths" is crazy. Millimetres is so much easier. 😄

I actually fully agree. Imperial units are so archaic...but at least we're not still expressing our weight in stone.

[@benrichards1]

[@olyjfitness]

@@aaronstestlab stone is arbitrary measure people use both stone and kgs. We only use stone as it's easier for most of us to recognise and only for a persons weight. Which hardly matters with accuracy

[@robboy102]

Agree100%. Our system is so ancient and inaccurate.

[@MarcusRefusius]

We have no KING. Including you.

[@jothain]

What? Having smaller blade and having lower sound levels doesn't make any sense. Think about it for a single second. Larger diameter means lower rpm to achieve same blade speed at the perimeter. I've been at lumber yard couple times and those saws are much quieter running without load than any normal household type saw 😀

[@aaronstestlab]

Good point

[@sogno2me]

I bought this saw upgrading from a 20 year old machine and it is no more noisier than my previous one but one thing I did notice. The smaller blade is thinner and cuts nicer with less play than the bigger blade I had. I bought a 60Tooth blade for finer cuts but have yet to use it because the standard blade cuts so well with minimal rip. All in all I’m very impressed with this saw and since I alway use ear protection the 64.5dBA is not a factor.

Table is aluminum

[@robertmorrison3140]

I bought what I thought was a brand new one at Home Depot, NYC. I open the box, I can see that it was used. Finger print smudges, scuffs, and wipe down marks. I call and complain. They send another one over. I open this one, and not to be believed but it was used too. I got them to knock $150 off, but all I wanted was a brand new saw. Disgusting.

[@aaronstestlab]

I just assume all NYC transactions are scammy in nature

[@johnobrien3237]

Your description of the low fence in incorrect and looks like you almost damaged the fence in the video. The low fence is not for better access to small stock. It is actually a support for ripping wide stock beyond the edge of the table. You should not force it down while still over the table, it lays down level with the table once you extend beyond the edge and keeps stock from slipping below the rip fence.

[@loganmedia1142]

It is both. It has two locking positions. One is above the table, the other in line with the table.
