Table Saw 10 Inch with Foldable Rolling Table Saw Stand, 15 Amp, 4800 RPM, 32-1/2-Inch Rip Capacity (DWE7491RS)

I am very well pleased with my DWE7491RS... It was easy to assemble and I had only a couple of minor adjustments to make... Overall everything lined up to within 1/64"; on the fence and blade straight out of the box... After reading all of the reviews about the miter gauge for the saw being the worst thing about the saw I purchased an Incra V120 miter gauge... It fit perfectly in the slot and only needed a minor adjustment on the nylon cams to remove the play... It fit perfectly into the storage area on the saw for the original miter gauge with the gauge set all the way to the 120 degree setting... I also didn't bother with installing the Dewalt blade that came with the saw... I added a Freud 50T Carbide tipped blade... It cuts everything like butter, including the seven nails I did not see in an old 2 X 4 stud... I am keeping the Dewalt blade as a backup for when I do need it... I didn't think the 32 1/2" rip to the right of the blade was a big deal until I used it on my very first project... It's nice to have that extra distance with a flip fence that gives you the material support at the fence... Hats of to Dewalt for that design factor... And I can't say enough about the fence adjustment with just the turn of a knob... The shop vac works fantastic on keeping down the mess and I have only had trouble one time with the saw dust building up in the saw and not discharging. It was not the fault of the saw, it was because I was working outside in a misting rain and ripping wet 1 x 4's and 2 x 4's... I also purchased a Freud Dado blade and the Dado blade insert for the saw... I have not used it yet but it is on my agenda to use it in the near future to build a router lift for my router table... I have minimal; space in my garage for storage and the rolling stand takes care of that problem. It folds nicely and takes up very little room against the wall and when it is needed it is just a matter of rolling it to where you need, pop open the legs and set it up... After looking the saw over closely It is my intent to fabricate a custom tool box for the extra saw blade, dado blade, and adjustment wrenches for the saw so that all necessary components are with the saw at all times... It would be nice if Dewalt would have an optional two pole switch for the saw that you could plug in your shop vac and be able to turn the saw and shop vac on with the flip of only one switch... I can't say anything at this time about using the saw to cut a board with the blade set on anything but a 90 degree angle... I will be cutting some 45 degree angles in the near future and I hope to give an update at that time... At this point I am giving the saw a rating of 5 stars because even though the original miter gauge is practically useless, it was a factor that was made very plain in all of the reviews that I read before the purchase... If anyone can shed light on a switch that will operate the shop vac and the saw at the same time let me know... I tried a strip with both the saw and the shop vac plugged... When the strip was turned off both the saw and the vac turned off.. When the strip was turned back on the vac came on but the saw did not... I feel it is a safety feature that Dewalt used in the switch.... I'll give an update as I continue to use my saw... Have a great day and let me know if you have any questions I can help you with... UPDATE... 5/5/19 After reading my original post regarding this saw,, there is very little that I can add.. It still cuts just as good as it did the day I brought it home... I have since added an additional room off of my garage as a workshop and this still remains my choice for a tablesaw… If I have full sheet materials to use I move to the outside to rip large sheets. I have my dust collection system connected to the saw and it does a pretty good job of recovering about 95% of the sawdust.. I have used the dado blade for the saw and it works perfectly... Out of the many thousands of feet of materials I have cut with the saw, there is only one (1) thing that I can think of that would greatly improve the saw.. That is a motor that would only be 1/2 as loud and still have the power as what is on the saw now... As far as an accessary for the saw, a zero clearance insert plate would also be great.. Other than that Dewalt, don't ever stop production on this saw.. As far as I'm concerned this saw will do anything that the DIY/Hobbyist or the professional jobsite contract will ever need it to do... It's more expensive than other models of dewalt saws but with it's capabilities it stand head and shoulders above all of them... If it ever gives up the ghost and dies on me I jst hope that Dewalt still has it in production and has not made any shortcuts that affect the quality or capabilities of this saw.. If there was a 10 rating chart on this saw today, that is where I would put the rating... My next endeavor will be the Dewalt DW745X thickness planer but I will replace the cutter head and blades with the Byrd Shelix Cutter Head... Sure wish I could find one at a better price though.. But, guess that's why there's an old saying that say.... "You get what you pay for".. Thanks for reading...

I shopped around a lot for the right table saw looking at all the reviews both positive and negative and I chose this Dewalt table saw with its own heavy duty and I mean heavy duty table and foldable legs. There are cheaper saws on the market but if you want a really good quality table saw, this is the saw for you. The Dewalt saw was easy to put together as well as attaching the legs to the table and then attaching the saw to the table. I was really impressed with the quality of the legs and table as well as the wheals attached to the table for easy moving in, around and out of my shop. It takes only a few seconds to open the legs up and stand the saw up for use. What I really like is when it is folded up it takes up very little space which is nice for a small shop. The best part of this saw was after putting it together it was already squared up and very true. When I made test cuts the 90 and 45 degree cuts were spot on. You couldn’t ask for anything better. The only complaint is I wish that Dewalt would make a better miter gauge for this saw. It is cheap which almost every saw on the market are cheaply made now a days. With the quality of this saw, Dewalt should also make a quality miter gauge to match the quality of this saw. But no mater, even with it having a cheap miter gauge I couldn’t be happier for this purchase as it was money well spent. With the quality of the saw and the stand, it will be the last saw that I purchase! I can’t wait to really put this saw to the test!

I'll start with a brief background of this saw (DWE7491RS) and it's fellow mates, the 7480 and the 7490X. These units appear to be late 2013 upgraded replacements to the previously successful 744 and 745 series saws. Upgraded specifications from the previous series are a 4,800RPM no-load blade speed (from 3,850RPM), a larger dust port (2-1/2" vs 2-1/4"), slightly heavier weight and for the 7491, an improved rolling stand system with integrated tool & safety accessory storage. Most interesting to me, the 7490X and 7491RS series feature an improved fence system that has pushed the industry limits of contractor saws past the 24-1/2 inch barrier. Aside from the aforementioned upgrades, most of the other specifications (like cut depths) are identical to the previous 744/745 series. The least expensive model, the 7480, is no longer crippled like the 745 was...even the least model has a 24-1/2" fence to rip sheet goods in half. Both the 7490X and 7491RS can accept dado blades, but Dewalt does now say on the 7480 that dado blades are "not recommended." The new series also seem to carry a heftier price tag at the moment, but the money does seem put to good use. The trusted rack & pinion fence adjustment is still present, so your fence will remain true through heavy use. The new models seem to have similar differentiation as the previous series and the deciding factors are fairly straight forward based on your needs. If you want a basic 24-1/2 rip capacity saw with no stand, the 7480 is your choice. If you want to improve your rip capacity to 28-1/2" and have a stationary (but still portable) integrated stand, the 7490X is your choice. If you want maximum portability in a rolling stand, along with an impressive 32-1/2" rip capacity and a bonus fully integrated system storage, you go with the 7491RS series. Some would say that 24-1/2" rip capacity is all that's needed. It's true that you can rip the short side of a 48" sheet good, but it means you would have a fair amount of material hanging off to the left side of the blade. You can't do it alone, that's pretty well a fact. The improved fence system solves just this problem and provides adequate material support where it's needed. It features two positions for the fence, which can be moved outward to accommodate the large 32-1/2" capacity. The measurement scale accommodates both fence positions with one starting at 0" and the other at 8" and out of the box, it was pretty close to accurate. (See usage update below.) I have noticed that the fence material support bracket is less strong at the maximum distance, but it doesn't seem to make a major difference since it's really only for basic material support. I never used the previous model of rolling stand (744 series), but comparatively I think this one is a bit easier to manipulate from what I saw of YouTube videos. Although the saw and stand are fairly heavy assembled, getting it from storage/rolling position to operating position (and back) is a safe, easy and quick process. It might present a challenge for shorter/lighter folks, but it's easy for me with average height and weight. Once in place, the saw is sturdy as a rock...no problems with movement and it's not side heavy in any particular direction. I also liked that the handle can be positioned in two ways...compact (for tighter storage) and easy-to-carry. Assembly was really quite simple and the instructions/diagrams are clear, it took maybe an hour to assemble and a bit after that to learn the major adjustments and perform blade checks so I could get started. All your common adjustments are found within easy reach and I found that calibration adjustments I wanted to make were quite easy to perform. It's great to have all your safety gear completely integrated into the stand, everything has a place and it's less like for safety gear to be misplaced or unused entirely. The saw features a no-fail recessed power-on button with a large stop that could be easily kneed or kicked in an emergent situation. There's basically no way this thing could inadvertently turn on, but as always, it's best to practice power-off safety when working directly with the blade. The riving knife accessories are super easy to install or remove, which means I'll probably end up using it in most cases! My biggest gripes at the moment are due to a lack of accessories. I've read that the older series dado inserts aren't a 100% match and fit fairly loose in these new saws. Sure enough, Dewalt doesn't list any accessories available for this particular saw as of this moment...so that's probably not a preferred path right now. (Note: As of late 2014, a dado plate is now available, part # DWE7402DI. No infeed or side supports like the 7xx series, though.) You can use a generic adjustable roller stand (or custom built outfeed table) and DIY dado/zero clearance plates in the mean time. I thought about taking away a star for that, but with workable solutions right now, it's not a big deal for me. Also, the provided miter guage is not really practical, but anyone who's semi-serious in outfitting their saw is going to build/buy a decent crosscut sled and a miter sled anyway. Overall, with the increased power and larger fence system, this particular unit is starting to approach cabinet saw capabilities. It's by no means an absolute replacement, but it's certainly more capable than the predecessors and competitors offerings. If you're like me and you want the capacity of a cabinet saw, but the need for storage/portability triumphs above all...then this unit is definitely something you should look at. Yes, it commands the highest price of common portable contractor saws on the market right now, but it's money well spent if the increased fence capacity and refined portability is worth it to you. As they say...buy once, cry once. I'll update this review when I've had a chance to run various materials through it, but initial performance is great. I tried both soft woods (pine, fir) without any incident and I could definitely notice the power upgrade for the hard woods (tried walnut, cherry & QS oak so far). I got nice, clean cuts and quick measurements across the fence were accurate enough for me. As with pretty much any saw, the provided blade is sufficient for rough cuts...but you'll want 60/80 tooth 10" blades for any fine work. I have a couple cabinets to mill down and build in the immediate future, so I'll certainly be putting this saw through a workout of it's advertised capabilities over the next few weeks. Usage update: I've used the saw for quite a few hours now, so I have a pretty good feel for the shortcomings and limitations. * It cuts everything I've thrown at it like butter. I found some 8/4 cherry to try and although it slowed her down more than I'd seen, she chewed through it just fine. I think it could easily take on a 12/4 piece with enough time and patience. I am also loving that large fence and use it more often than I anticipated already...it's been awesome to easily cut larger panels easily. I can only comfortably cut 4'x4' panels on my own, but I did do a 6'x4' panel in two cuts without too much trouble. (One rough, one final.) Anything larger (and especially full sheet cross cuts) and you'll need help or a decent infeed/outfeed system. Do be aware that when you push this saw hard, it will draw more than 15 amps and can trip fuses/breakers that are rated at that level or less. I use a vacuum switch with a 15 amp fuse and it trips when I push it hard...if I didn't have that, my breaker would likely blow. * I mentioned in my original review that the table top was "flat as could be." Well, according to my dial gauge and straight edge, there is a slope of about .015" across the width of the table. This doesn't have any significant impacts as far as I can tell, as long as your blade is 90 degrees (or the desired bevel setting) to that slope. Also, I'm not thrilled with the tabletop or coating. Upon building my panel and cross cut sleds, I found it would fairly easily rub off with even the lightest friction. (It didn't take long at all to get that "used" look.) It's also not at all ferrous, so no attaching magnets...probably to save weight since actual metal is, umm, heavy. Plan on using using clamps if needed to secure things, both regular and miter slot as desired. * Upon a full tune-up/settings check, my fence distance gauge was off by over .015". No big deal and an easy fix, but I was having trouble getting even close to precision for some cuts off the gauge. Also, my fence was off parallel to the miter slot at position 2 by almost .010" front to back. Probably not enough to cause problems with most cuts or rough work, but too much for my preferences. Also an easy fix, but it did take some fussing to get it "just right." The arbor and fence at position 1 were close enough to perfect. It was a little irritating to have to tweak a new saw into perfection, but it wasn't too difficult and is probably due to the primary market for this saw being rough work, not cabinet grade. If you're going for precision, you may need to adjust from the factory. I recommend a quality try or combo square, a shop made fence measuring jig (or an A-Line It jig) and a digital or analog caliper for determining error rates. * I found that my 60+ tooth fine blades require me to remove the dust shroud in order to remove the blade. An inconvenience and it adds about 1 minute to the process, but not that big of a deal unless you're constantly changing blades. * Total dust collection is a mystery until Dewalt does something. At least if you rely on a Shop Vac and 2-1/2" hose. The 2-1/2" port is solid, no problem, and catches most dust. But, a fair bit of dust kicks up as usual...which is why they designed the riving knife with integrated dust chute. Awesome option, but absolutely ludicrous to plumb for at this time, making the accessory virtually worthless. There is no 2-1/2"x1-1/4" Y adapter out there and I'm not going to use 5+ fittings, convert to 4" and add a bunch of extra hose to do it. I find the normal fallout with the regular knife preferable to shooting it six feet across the room. * Some quick things that are hard to find about this saw. It takes up to a 8" sized dado blade, up to 13/16" in width. (I haven't used a 6" dado, but an 8" worked fine...I can imagine a 6" would work with less max depth.) The working table top height is 36-3/8". Maximum storage height is about 44-3/4" with the handle in compact position or just over 48" in easy-carry position. There's a lot of mis-info in the Q&A here and even from the manufacturer, these measurements are from my actual 7491RS saw. Feel free to comment if you want other fairly precise measurements. Accessories for this saw will start rolling out Q1 of 2014, with a dado plate being the first anticipated accessory to roll out from Dewalt. Other than those things, I still think it's an excellent saw. Maybe 4.5 stars would be my actual rating due to the from-the-factory adjustments I had to make and my disappointment with the table top. Other than that, it's been comfortable to use and work with and is giving me great results and perfect joints. I'll update if anything else comes up.

I finished assembling the DWE7491RS saw/stand combo today and I'd like to offer up some tips and observations. The booklet for the stand is not very clear on some things and you will find yourself looking back and forth on page 1 which has two illustrations of the assembled stand. One of he things it does not tell you is you are going to need a dead blow hammer (rubber mallet) to mate the stand frame sections together. You will also want a 13mm wrench and a 13mm socket/ratchet. If you don't have any metric tools, wrap some electrical tape or masking tape around the handle of the supplied "mickey mouse" wrench. It will tear you hand up if you don't. Don't loose the Allen wrench that comes with it unless you have a metric set. None of the SAE sizes will fit the bolt heads. As you start assembling the stand legs, handles etc., you will notice that on one side the bolt holes (in the yellow structure) are normal round holes. But one opposite side they are slightly slotted. This allows for tolerance differences during the manufacturing and assembly at the factory. I found that if you install the bolts in the normal round holes first, then the slotted ones the bolts fit better. I tried the other way around first and had a heck of a time getting the bolts into the normal holes. It really doesn't make sense to me but that is the way it is. The two M6-12 pan bolts for assembling the frame halves are labeled "Tool & Frame". All the other labeling on the parts bag are fairly straight forward. When you install the saw onto the stand frame you will find that access to the nuts on the saws front side is difficult due to limited clearances. A thin wrench is the best option. Other saw info: The rip fence is attached to the left side of the saw for shipping/storage. I wish I had taken a picture of it before I removed it as I can't figure out how to re-attach it there (figure 45 and the "how to" on page 14 of the saw manual is useless). If you have magnetic featherboards your out of luck. The top of the saw is cast aluminum. There is a button on top of the cord storage that may be a thermal reset button. There is nothing in the manual about it. The power cord is fairly stiff and seems to be well insulated. However the power cord is rather short so if you are using it at job site you are probably going to need an extension cord. Which brings me to the next subject, power. This saw is rated at 15 amps so one would expect a fairly hefty motor. The one that comes with it seems rather small in size compared to some other motors of equal amperage. The miter slot is standard T-slot. I purchased the DEWALT DW7444 Dado Throat Plate (for DW744 saw) and it fits fine although the dado blade size is probably limited to 8" to 8 1/2" inches in max diameter of about 3/8" wide (or so). I have seen comments that the dado throat plate and the standard throat plate snags wood. There are adjustment screws on both of them and the can be adjusted to be lower than the throat cut-out. Also seen a comment that the dado plate doesn't lock. Yes it does just like the standard throat plate. The quality of the unit seems well made and fairly well engineered. There are some plastic parts that I have concerns about especially if one is actually going to use it daily for construction. I would have given this saw 5 stars but I need to use it more before I rate it that high. Update July 22nd: I finally got around to cutting some wood with the saw and must say I was very wrong about the size of the motor vs. actual power. This baby can flat cut wood. I swapped out the factory blade for a 80 tooth Diablo carbide blade and was ripping through pressure treated 2 x 6's like they were soft butter. I did a an alignment check of the Diablo blade to the miter slot (left side) and it was approximate .1mm off (front to back of same point of blade). I raised the blade all the way up the marked a spot on the blade just behind the carbide tip. With the blade rotated so the marked spot is even with the table top on the front side of the saw I measured the distance from the blade to the edge of the miter slot. I then rotated the blade towards the back of saw until the same marked spot is even with the saw's table top on the back side and made the same measurement. The bevel of the blade to the saw table was dead on from the factory. The exhaust port on the back of the saw fit my ShopVac brand vacuum perfectly.. no adapter need. However, will need something to fit the blade guard exhaust port. Couple of cons though. The miter gauge storage takes a contortionist to get it in and out of the storage location. I have reservations on the longevity of the plastic (rubber?) caps on the bottom of the two legs on the wheel side. You have to rotate the saw on these to erect (and lower) the saw. Abrasive material like concrete will wear them down as you rotate the saw up and down. Already seeing black makes on my floor. In regards to the riving knives. There is one "permanently" mounted to the blade guard and the other one is a stand-alone one that is pre-installed at the factory. The manual (page 9 - figure 27)indicates the the "permanent" one is 2.4mm thick and the stand-alone one is 2.2mm thick for thinner blades. The ones I received with the saw are both the same thickness. The two riving knives are shaped differently so I'm not sure if Dewalt changed the thickness after the manual was printed. Finally issue is there is no apparent locking mechanism hold the blade in the selected height position. The tilt is locked down but not the blade height. I guess it relies on the gear friction to hold it in place (?). I would now make this a 4 & 3/4 star rating if I could. 16 Sept 2014 Update Been using the saw for a couple of months now and have some updated observations: - As I noted previously, one will definitely need an extension cord if you are more that a few feet from a power source. - The plastic covering on the legs which one rotates the saw up and down is really taking a beating on raw concrete. Probably will not be an issue for a long time if used on dirt. - The saw is definitely powerful and capable of cutting all of the woods I've used on it (oak, cherry, walnut, birch, pine, and extremely hardened pressure treated pine). I use an 80 tooth tungsten carbide Diablo blade for all my cutting and it works very well with this saw. - After finishing a job, you should remove the blade insert, drop the blade all the way down and vacuum out the blade chamber, especially the cloth material that is used to keep the sawdust out of the motor.The cloth gets imbedded with very fine sawdust powder. As a side note to this, I noticed that when the saw is in the stowed upright position, there is a plastic cover over the saw-blade's aluminum housing. The are holes for screws and threaded mating holes in the housing for these screws. The were no screws in these holes on my saw. However, I did not that the plastic cover plate is easily removable and allows access to the saw blade chamber for cleaning. - Although the saw really kicks a lot of sawdust out the back port with or without a vacuum attached, the enclosure the houses the blade will still accumulate sawdust over time and should be cleaned. - The blade insert is made of aluminum but at the end of the slot, there are two black metal (iron/steel?) plates on each side of the opening. With the high humidity here in east TX they have started to rust. They appear to be clipped in and I think I can remove them and refinish them. Don't know whey they are there and don't seem to serve any purpose that I can see. - I had noted in my review previously that there is no apparent locking mechanism to hold the blade in the desired vertical position. I like to cut wood with a minimum piece of the blade protruding up from the cut. On several occasions, I have observed the blade "slipping" downward just enough that the blade did not cut all the way through the wood. In several instances I was using wood that had been planed smooth on both sides so that they were very straight and level. Since it does not do this all the time, I attribute this to where the two gears that raise/lower the blade sit in relation to the height selected. The fix for me is easy, just set the blade height higher than what I used to use. I don't think this will work well when doing dado cuts. Feb 22, 2015 Update Have been using the saw for 8 months now and I've upped my rating from 4 to 5 stars. The blade slipping down issue I noted in my previous update has disappeared. I don't know if I was doing something wrong, but it just flat stays locked in place. I absolutely love the rip fence. It seems to be infinitely adjustable and it locks firmly in place no matter where you set it. More importantly, when you use the lock down lever, it doe not move the fence even a fraction of an inch. I was wrong about using the DEWALT DW7444 Dado Throat Plate. The plate fits and locks into the opening but dado opening is not long enough to accommodate an 8" dado blade. Apparently the bade placement in this saw is located closer to the back of the saw. My fix was to use my band saw and cut the slot all the way open (to the rear of the throat plate). That fixed it. So far I haven't found a factory dado throat plate for this saw. I guess one could buy a blank zero clearance throat plate and cut it open with a dado blade set. If you are looking for an accurate saw that stores in a relative small foot print and is very easy to set up or fold for storage, I would highly recommend this saw. It may not be suitable for making quality furniture pieces, but you could not come any closer in a portable unit. Mar 6, 2014 Update Was looking at make a zero clearance throat plate for this saw and found one on Amazon for the DW746 table saw. I knew the dado insert for this saw fits so I thought I'd give it a try. Well low and behold it fits perfectly. In fact there is a sticker on the back of the this throat plate that indicates it will fit the following DeWalt saws: DW744; DW745; DW746; DWE7480; DWE7490X; DWE7491RS; and DWE7499GD. For this saw you have to remove the riving knife (aka: splitter), but I have found a solution if you want to keep it with the this throat plate. Measure how far back from the saw blade's does the riving knife extend (you need to raise the blade up all the way to make this measurement). Follow the instructions on how to setup the new throat plate (including the removal of the the riving knife) and make zero clearance cut in he plate. Next mark the throat plate with a line from the back of the kerf cut that matches the length that you previously measured for the length of the riving knife (including the gap between the back of the blade and the riving knife). With the blade fully extended in the zero clearance slot, turn on the saw and pull the throat plate up and towards you until the length of the marked line is cut. Turn off the saw the, remove the throat plate and re-install the riving knife. Assuming you blade is slightly wider than the riving knife, the slot will be wide enough to re-install the throat plate without any problem. This the the throat plate that Amazon sells: Leecraft DW-2 Zero-Clearance Table Saw Insert for DeWalt Model DW744 and DW746. Here is the link to it in Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000223V9/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 FYI: The picture in Amazon depicts it as red colored. It is actually a pale tan color and very well made. Follow up Oct 21, 2016 The saw is still going strong and the rubber feet have not worn out yet. No hiccups of any kind and surprised at how stable and accurate the cuts this saw can make. Its nearly equal to a lower end cabinet saw. Maybe better than some on the market?- As to the zero clearance throat insert I previously wrote about I did come across a couple of issues with it. It seems the height adjustment screws are not long enough to properly level the insert. It is only one side were it is lower than the other and not flush to the top of the table. The other issue, for some folks anyway, is there is no locking mechanism to hold it in place. Still can't find a "commercial" dado blade throat insert for this saw. I guess the saw is intended primarily for construction use but it would be nice to make so mortise and tendon joints for rough shelving, and workbenches, etc. July 4, 2017 Well its been a little over 3 years since I purchased this saw and I've just ran into my first major issue with it. I needed to make a 45 deg cut on a baseboard so I unlocked the blade from the upright position and titled the blade to 45 deg and locked it. After I complete the cut, I started to unlock the black to return it upright so I could lower the blade for storage. For some reason the locking lever would not move. After try to move it for several minutes I took a rubber mallet and gently tapped on the lever until it finally started to move. I finished moving it to the unlock position by hand. Although the locking lever moved to the unlocked position, the blade in fact did not unlock. My blade is now stuck in the 45 deg position. I'm going to have to figure out how to take the locking mechanism apart and see what the issue is. I'm hoping (best case) that there is a pin in lever that engages the locking mechanism and it is worn or slid out just enough to not engage the lock.

I replaced an old saw that I inherited from my father some years ago with this Dewalt table saw. The safety features, the build quality, and the fence system were important to me. It is solid and easily packs up for storage. I have a very small basement shop and having my primary tools on wheels is essential. The Dewalt table saw is highly regarded in professional publications and in reviews. The assembly was easy, and the YouTube videos are very helpful in many ways. Every new saw requires a tuning and this was no exception. The saw was very close to specs coming out of the box, but spending an hour or so with a good video and some accurate measuring tools will pay great dividends. You will find that two items that come standard with the saw will need replacing: the miter gauge and the saw blade. The miter gauge is made of stamped metal and will not give you the performance that this saw is capable of demonstrating. There are many miter gauges on the market and you can make a miter sled for yourself with this saw. You will find numerous YouTube videos demonstrating how to make a miter sled. The blade that comes with the saw is of very poor quality. This is true of virtually every table saw that you will buy. It is necessary to get yourself a high quality blade straight away. In fact, order one when you order the saw. After tuning up the saw (once again, lots of YouTubes on how to do this) and adding a high quality blade, you will discover that this saw is truly amazing for the size and price. I purchased a Freud LM75R010 Industrial Thin Kerf Glue Line Ripping Blade. I was delighted at the smoothness of its performance. No burns, no binding, and easy rips. The thin kerf just glides through the material. What a great combination. The Dewalt table saw and the Freud blade. Truly amazing. I can't say enough about the Dewalt table saw. I spent a lot of time researching the purchase of a new saw and am delighted with the results.

Ok LONG STORY SHORT, there is plenty of reviews on this saw and as most say it is a Great saw for what its intended PRO's -Compact and portable (attached to stand that is) -Accurate, the fence is awesome -Good power, for hardwoods make sure you got a sharp blade! -On board storage for accessories GOOD (should have blade storage IMO however) -Adjustments not too bad EXCEPT blade alignment in my case, more later -The Stand ROCKS (start with the handle on setup, put away starting with ground stand side first) -Miter gauge mmehh...Not the worse I've see but ok. -Rip capacity good, wish it was 36" for a nice even number CONS -Top may not be flat depending on QC from factory -Attachment point on far left of rack in front catches on clothes -Fence moves 1-10 thou depending on how hard/fast you set the lock -Blade parallel adjustment could be a pain TIP a griper hangs perfect from the edge of the table and the stand wether its upright on in storage. Ok, now for a slightly more in depth review. All in all it is a good JOBSITE SAW!!! People it says in the description JOBSITE saw! That means your toting it to and from your job site cutting OSB, making shims from 2x4s, or hobby remodel projects, that doesn't mean its sitting in your custom cabinet shop breaking down veneered plywoods, ripping exotic hardwood trim for furniture or cutting board strips all day. I work in a custom sign shop and share a work space with journeyman carpenters to which we all rely on precision tools including a 3HP delta cabinet saw. However at home making little projects here and there or small remodel jobs this saw is pretty damn good. The main reason i chose this model aside from the mobil stand (i have a small work space) was the fence and a review from another buyer. The rack and pinion fence is really nice, its smooth and precise just with a simple hand twist light or heavy, oppose to taping your fingers on a t style fence to get that 1/32 movement. The review i mentioned was the fact that the older/lower models don't have an actual standard T Track style miter slot, but rather just a recessed square slot to which if you let the miter gauge hang off the front or back it can fall off because its not secured in the slot from a T Track style. Also, in the different models there is a few more inches LESS from the edge of the table to the blade which obviously is more of a safety issue period. SO i really do like the saw EXCEPT...the table was not flat!(see pictures) Now i know this isn't a cabinet saw but that did erk me that Dewalt wouldn't have had more quality control from the factory. Also i don't like the end of the rack where the left side of the blade attachment point for the fence catches my pants or anything else dangling(see picture). IDK maybe a long narrow shroud the encloses the attachment point could prevent this. The fence will jump around up to .010 depending on how hard you press/slam the lock down. Lastly the biggest pain in the a$$ was the fact i have to grind down part of the aluminum casting point on the bottom of the table to adjust the blade parallel to the miter slot as the blade housing would not shift to the left(see blurry picture in the top middle). Also i took off the fabric flap that hangs above to the blade cover for dust collection and added a strip of 1/4 ply and taped off/over the blade cover edges and it greatly increased the effectiveness of the dust suction. To which, the blade does a good job of throwing the dust into the dust port and my shop vac does the rest no problem. Lastly, Dewalt if your reading this, come out with another hybrid saw like the 746, ridgid is killing this market with their model and you should try to at least get in on the action mostly since people trust your name.

I’ve used this over a year now and am impressed with its portability, cut, functionality, and solid construction. If you need absolute precise cuts you’ll need to tinker with the standard fence. But the overall practicality and quality of this tool is as advertised.

I purchased this saw to replace my aging Skil table saw. Just in time too with this pandemic going on. I need to construct an Ark in case the world ends (again) in a horrible shower lasting 40 days and 40 nights. Assembly: The saw arrived in a heavy back-breaking box. All contents were packed safely and I noted no damage, aside from my back. The saw itself was largely assembled with only the fence to deal with and that was easy. It is stored upside down on the rails. Support it with one hand then unlatch the levers on both sides. Let it fall gently onto your hand, not the floor, where you will notice the notches on both ends. Those notches mate to pegs on the rails. There are 3 positions. One on the left and two on the right. The first position on the right closest to the blade will allow a maximum rip of 24 inches. The second position will allow maximum rip of 32 inches. The stand is where you will spend most of your time during assembly. A nice touch is that the nuts and bolts come separated and labeled in plastic bags. Take your time and follow the diagram which I found to be accurate and straightforward. One note - pay attention to where the washers go. They come slipped into the bolt and secured by the nuts. This gives the impression that all 3 are needed to assemble a specific part when in fact only the nut and bolt is needed and the washer is used elsewhere. Again, take your time and follow the manual, which I'm glad by the way was not written by an angry 5 year old. When the stand is done, take the table saw and gently/carefully place it upside down on any soft surface except your wife's expensive rug. Potential marriage-breaker, that one. Next, grab the stand and place it upside down on the saw. The DeWalt logo on the stand and the logo on the table saw MUST be on the same side. Otherwise the universe will implode Tighten the 4 nuts that attach the stand to the saw. When done, find a creative and safe way to turn this fantastic creation right side up. Adjustments: Out of the box, the blade was already set up at a perfect 90 degrees. No need to adjust the stop. The 45 degree stop was off just slightly. I'm guessing 44.359 degrees. I tried to loosen the stop but it looks like it was torqued down by a machine set incorrectly or an employee wanting to play a joke on an unlucky customer. Haha that unlucky customer would be me. Not so funny really. I'll shoot some lubricant on the bolt and claim my victory later. The only other adjustments I made was to align the fence parallel to the blade and correct the measurement marker on the fence rail just above the power button. To adjust the fence, raise the blade to its uppermost position then slide the fence so that it makes contact with the blade. At this point, you will know if it needs adjustment. If it does, back the fence off the blade a bit, maybe 1/16th of an inch and lock the rail. Now, loosen one of the pegs on the rail that the fence is attached to. Gently slide the rail on the one side with your finger that you loosened. Stop and tighten the peg when the fence touches the blade. There is a gap on the opposite side of the fence and blade. We shall correct this! Loosen the opposite peg and gently slide the fence so that the fence touches the blade. There should now be even contact with the blade and fence through the entire diameter of the blade. Now your measurement marker. It should be at 0 inches. If not, loosen the screws, then move the plastic marker so that it's at 0 then tighten. Remember. There are 3 positions that the fence can sit on. You will need to make sure the fence is parallel on all positions. So adjust accordingly if needed. As for me, I don't think I will ever place the fence on the left side of the table nor on the furthest position on the right side so I didn't bother with checking parallel on those positions. See how easily I justified my laziness? Accuracy: I set the fence at 20 inches from the blade and ripped a sheet of 3/4" OSB plywood. When I was done, I measured all along the length of the piece. Everything I measured was spot on at 20 inches. Very happy about that! Almost all of my cuts will be at 90 degrees so I am good for now. Power: So far I've only ripped 3/4 inch plywood and crosscut a few 2x4 pieces. It cut through them like a hot knife through butter. Actually, does anyone really use a hot knife to cut butter? How do you heat up the knife? A torch? A forge? Boil it? Seems like a lot of work and potentially dangerous. Observations and notes: The stand is sturdy. Nothing much to say other than it did not collapse on itself even with a thick sheet of plywood on it. The levers to fold the legs in and out are genius! I did not mess with the default blade. I immediately replaced it with a 60 tooth Diablo blade and the cuts are amazingly smooth. The included push stick is a nice touch and it stores nicely on the back of the fence. Another nice touch is the pull down support piece on the fence to support your workpiece for wide cuts. The miter gauge is umm, how shall I say, the only blemish on this beautiful thing. Although lately this seems to be a cost-cutting measure on most saws on the market. There is a bit of wobble when it sits on the track. Some suggest using tape to eliminate the gap. In all honesty, the miter gauge should be fine for my purposes. It's a decent last-second weapon to fend off pesky family members or neighbors looking to disturb you from spending quality time with this table saw. Lastly, when I was swapping out the blades, I noticed that the spindle that the blade attaches to had a raised indentation. A manufacturing defect perhaps. I took a small sheet of 200 grit sandpaper, wrapped it around a thin flat stick and sanded it down carefully. I figured this little bump on the spindle would cause the blade to wobble ever so slightly so my OCD dictated that I smooth it down. Overall, amazing saw and quite an upgrade from my older Skil saw.

Excelente sierra, la verdad es lo que esperaba, solida, de buen tamaño (comparada a la DW745), muy buena precisión (una vez que la ajustas), velocidad, etc. en general muy versátil. Pros: - Base solida: no se mueve ni vibra cuando cortas un pliego grande de triplay, las ruedas no quedan tocando el piso lo que evita que se mueva en caso de que tengas mas peso de un lado de la sierra que del otro. - Superficie amplia - Barrera exacta y versátil (diferentes posiciones y funciones) - Sistema de seguridad de encendido (no vuelve a encender en caso de que se vaya la energía) - Fácil y de solida movilidad - No ocupa mucho espacio en su posición vertical - Fácil intercambio de las cuchillas divisorias - Acepta cuchillas tipo 'dado' Cons: - Alineación: recién armada, prácticamente todo venia desalineado a las guías de la mesa, desde la cuchilla, la barrera (en sus diferentes posiciones: izq., der.-corto y der.-largo), el angulo, la cinta para medir la barrera y la del angulo. Una vez alineado todo se queda en su lugar, pero si le tienes que invertir un buen tiempo en dejar todo alineado. - La guía para cortes transversales hace juego con la guía de la mesa de 1mm aprox., esto se arregla fácilmente con cinta azul de pintor y los cortes los hace precisos. - Precio alto - Pesada (~50Kg)

Having bought myself a fixer upper of a house, and also wanting to get back into some basic cabinet\furniture making I decided that I needed to buy a table saw. I don't have the room for a full size cabinet saw (or the budget) and I wanted something that I could fold up and store easily out of the way in my basement as well as pull up my basement stairs out into the yard. After doing a lot of research I settled on this saw, and I'm really glad I did. It's clearly been engineered my people have used saws before and have put some thought into it. From the location of the push stick storage, which is easy to grab when needed, to the fence mechanism, as well as the easy set up and fine tuning instructions it comes with. Construction wise, its very well built but also light enough that one person can easily manoeuvre it around. The stand is sturdy and easily folds up when not in use. There os no flex in the fence when locked in place, and the table is more than sold as well. The dust collection is adequate, however as I mention below the extra dust port on the blade guard assembly requires a different size hose so I don't use that one. If you did use the guard port, it would probably be near 100% collection. With a shop vac hooked up it collects over 95% of the dust, with no fine dust getting into the air at all. Very nice for indoor use. After about 6 months of regular use I've really only come up with a couple faults, which in themselves are definitely not enough to make me not want to buy this saw again. my only complaints are follows: 1) I wish the saw included a hose to go between the guard dust collection port, and the main under table one 2) I wish dewalt sold a table extension for it. As much as I love the fence mechanism, it makes it tricky to build your own table for it. So if they made one it's be awesome. This isn't a huge issue, as there are other ways around it

Great price , delivery was very fast

La sierra tardó en llegar un poco más de los esperado. Todo en regla. Hubo que hacer los ajustes de paralelismo de la hoja a la guía, ajuste de 90 y 45 grados. Después de ello, quedó totalmente funcional, cortes realmente buenos, es muy sencilla de operar, los ajustes por medio de piñón y cremallera facilitan la operación. Es un poco ruidosa, pero no se espera que sea silencioso un equipo de esta potencia, al igual resultó muy buena, corta el triplay de 19mm y madera de pino tan suavemente que no te das cuenta. La recomiendo ampliamente.

Thoughtful design. A lot of this saw’s features are already covered in other reviews, but a couple things to add: -bottom dust port works extremely well and fits my large shop vac hose perfectly. -Other reviewers complained about the need for a separate hose for the blade guard’s collection port but I was able to just use the dust bag that came with my dewalt 779 mitre saw. -the controls for everything are extremely simple and reliable. Simple mechanisms unlock the stand, the legs, the blade guard and fence. -The rack and pinion fence markings are accurate to 1/16th inch and negate the need for a tape measure on hand for cuts. -blade is very easy to change and the wrenches have their own onboard storage. -everything has a home. There is excellent storage for every accessory. Those complaining in other comments haven’t looked hard enough. -this is my favorite tool. rock solid.
