I love that you use an affordable jobsite table saw, unlike other channels that use expensive cabinet saws. Using the more affordable tools makes videos more relatable to newer woodworkers.

I used a cheap, crappy saw for years. When I finally got the current version of this saw, I was almost brought to tears by how awesome the rack and pinion fence system is.

You are a fantastic presenter. Plenty of detail. No waffling. Natural delivery… I don't know how much scripting you do beforehand or if you're just especially gifted, but your delivery is top notch.

while watching this i am thinking of all the skills i’ve gained thanks to the youtube community.

as cynical as i have become to how frustrating the internet can be now with the over-saturation of marketing- it’s not lost on me you don’t have to make these videos, and that certain creators like yourself have become one of the few trusted spaces i can come for information i need.

i mean to say; thank you for the time you put into this.

One of the best reviews I ever watched. No nonsense or music. Straight to the point, thorough and very informative. Thank you.

This saw is exactly what need! I'm 82 years old and getting ready to downsize to a condo which means my shop will have to be in the garage. My powermatic table saw will just about fill the garage up so I'll need to go to smaller portable machines. Thank you for your great videos especially the luthery videos. If I wasn't a subscriber I would have missed this saw.

I recently purchased today's version of your 10" DeWalt saw (they say imitation is the sincerest form of flatter) and, using your plans, built the miter sled. Next project is to build the outfeed table presented in one of your earlier videos. Huge recommend your videos to my fellow woodworker students...even us petite women can build great things!

[ISKLEMMI]

I absolutely love how thoroughly you've addressed practical issues people will run into when using this class of table saw. Thank you!

[rapa]

Thanks for addressing all the “under-gunned” issues all of us working with jobsite saws run up against, and most importantly, showing us how to conquer them successfully. The details and tips really make possible to punch above our weight level.

Started woodworking on a budget two years ago with this same saw, and it was your videos that showed me how I could really expand what I could do with just a jobsite saw. Managed to build an built-in 8ft x 12ft cabinet/bookshelf/media center with this little guy. I'd been eyeing the upgraded version since a dado stack and more than 20" rip width would certainly speed up and increase safety on my next project building closet and pantry organization. Thanks for all the great tips, project ideas, and hopefully $1000 HD card!

Wow, this is an amazingly great video. In 21 minutes, you have covered almost every quirk and detail that it took me 18 months to figure out about my DWE7491RS. Yes, with some careful setup, these Dewalts can cut straight and square and be used for a small shop to make nice cabinetry and furniture. The only thing you haven't done that might make things even better is zero clearance insert. And thumbs up to the Katz-Moses stop!

My cross cut sled is having binding issues on my brand new table saw. I began sanding the slots but stopped because I wasn't sure it it was the right thing to do. After having watched this vid I now am confident that it IS the right thing to do so thankyou for the useful information. 😃

Tamar, this video is so full of handy tips for those of us with such small, limited table saws. Thank you!

I have a 1998 DW744, which is a struggle to use for fine woodworking and justifying a nice upgrade is just not possible. I have a wonderful daughter, Emma, in college. Since becoming a teenager, I have such a hard time connecting with her and am always looking for ways to strengthen our bond. Last December, she was home on break and told me that she wanted to make five wooden gifts for family members and. Armed with only the most basic tool knowledge and zero woodworking experience, she asked for my help. Needless to say, I was overwhelmed with joy from her request. She described the items that she wanted to make, made some sketches, we discussed each item, and we finally started. The items were fairly simple for me, but my goal was to teach her on every tool she would need to accomplish her goal.

Skipping ahead, I instructed her to use an impressively wide variety of power and hand tools, how to plan such projects, and how to reason through and solve issues. After dozens of hours over the course of the next two weeks, she completed all of her projects under my supervision. She and I were so proud of her accomplishment. Because I needed to supervise her along they way, mostly to keep her safe and on track, she did not make a wooden gift for me, which was understandable. She did, however, knit an awesome scarf for me. I also received the best gift of all, a strengthened bond with my amazing daughter.

That was such a wonderful experience for the two of us that I now want to work with her to build a beautiful dining room table and kitchen cabinets for her mother. Upgrading to a proper table saw or purchasing a jointer and thickness planer would greatly simplify and improve the quality of our projects.

Regardless of new tools, we’re building loving experiences that will last a lifetime.

You are doing a better job selling that saw than Dewalt ever could. I like your setup.

[kenw]

Within a matter of days, you have become one of my go-to channels for woodworking know-how. I’m a DIY weekend woodworker and I love how you explain things in a way that anyone can understand and how well you know your audience. I can’t afford or even justify all the gadgets thrown at me on a daily basis and you help me with tips and tricks to do the most with what I have. Keep up the great work. I’ll be an avid follower.

Tamar, I’ve been watching as many videos as I can to try and figure out what portable saw to buy! You are the ONLY ONE to say the using a sled or jig on a 8 1/4 saw is going cut the cut depth by the thickness of the sled. The thought of the sled thickness never crossed my mind! I’ve been trying to justify getting the Dewalt 10” with stand, but was having issues justifying the extra cost! Having watched your video really blew my mind that nobody else that I’ve watched mentioned things that you did! Every talks about making sure the blade is at 90, but most used a digital gauge which is great, but doesn’t tell you the relation to the actual table! Thank you again, and I sub’d today because of your knowledge!

Great video as usual Tamar. I wanted to thank you for you clear, concise, and down to earth delivery with all that you do. While I enjoy watching the proverbial "heavy hitters" of the trade, I do so mostly with the mindset of "someday". It is a huge relief and quite inspiring to watch someone who reassures me it can be "today". As someone who has been at the craft for awhile and built my skillset on used, rebuilt, broken and repaired, only-good-for-the-dumpster tools, it is certainly a breath of fresh-air to see someone who isn't pushing the $5k tablesaw or $1.2k joiner ect. But instead, someone who is skilled enough to show you what can be done with reasonable equipment and determination. I thank you and much respect. My next project is a complete kitchen cabinet build for our new kitchen remodel. It is a daunting project for me, but it is the only way to make the budget work to give my wife her dream kitchen. $1k could certainly go a long way in achieving that for her. Thank you for your generosity, and keep being who you are, and I will for sure keep watching amd learning.

I've had this exact saw for a long time, and didn't know about squaring up the fence using those set screws. Thank you so much for sharing your insights on this amazing Dewalt tool! 😊

I've had many different table saws over the years, even a Swiss made Inca saw, but now in my retirement I'm happy to use this same saw that you've featured here. It really does everything I need it too and watching your video, I've learned a few tweaks that will make it even more useful. The best thing I like about this saw is it's portability. I do all my power tool cutting outside and have a mobile workbench that the saw fits into. Moving it in and out of my workspace is easy. Ultimately, that means I'm a fair weather woodworker now, but it also means that all the sawdust stays out of my indoor space. I have many projects on the go, but my next one will be re-building a side yard gate. Great video quality btw. Keep up the good work!
