This was the best review I have seen for this saw. Short, to the point and you covered every detail about the saw including equipment storage and the rolling cart. I just bought one. I found Amazon had the best price of $529.00 with free shipping for Prime members. Thank you for taking the time to make such a great review!

Very comprehensive. Just bought one of these and you went over all of the features perfectly!

So helpful! The instructions to this saw I found confusing and definitely not reader friendly. This helped 400%! Excellent and many thanks.

Thanks for the review, I just purchased this table saw today and will put it to work tomorrow. I needed a portable one to work in my house as we are remodeling it ourself and the 300+ contactor saw i have its way too heavy and decided to go with this one. Will see how it works but im sure it will perform very well. I also bought it for $529 at my local HD. Thanks again for taking the time.

I've never been a fan of these smaller (portable) saws, but that one is just impressive! On several levels!

[oseaghin]

Whoa, the best review of this (or just about any) table saw I've seen! Much appreciated!

[gordonbartel]

Thank you for showing all of the design features of this saw, great overview. Also, that you have owned the saw for some time, and you would buy it again is good to know.

Like the rolling stand you made for it, undersaw storage is a nice use of usable space

Very even handed review and critique. Good features were pointed out as well as features that have room for improvement. I have a ShopSmith that I have owned for about 40 years. I have never used my ShopSmith very much because I have the greatest need for a table saw in which mode it is terrible. I wish I would have purchased this Dewalt table saw years ago.

I have the 745, but I assume that these Dewalt saws are all the same platform. For the money, there’s much to be appreciated about them. I don’t believe their principal purpose is fine woodworking, but I’ve made projects of white oak and hard maple that have had precise joints.

However care has to be taken. I have gotten pretty good truing boards up with hand planes after cuts and will change saw blades for specific to the cut (ie. a 50 tooth cross cut blade with a zero insert if I’m cutting 1.75” hard maple against the grain).

Cuts are consistent with this saw but Eork has to be done before joints are “glue ready”.

I agree that the miter slots are not accurate—I tried sanding them and still could get my Rockler taper jig to go smoothly through. Same with crosscut dled I made. Therefore I use miter saw pretty heavily and hand plane some of my tapers.

Still, all in all, one can do great things in one’s driveway with these saws. A great way to start out in woodworking.

Years ago we used the big delta in the job site as our main saw to build cabinets and we had a second dewalt table saw (one of the first table saw) . I personally liked that I purchased 24 in max rip, now I just bought the one with the rolling stand for the max rip cut and also to use a full size dado. I took it off the stand = less heavier and easy to fit in tight spaces. I cut outdoor so we don't care about the dust. Dewalt makes good miter & table saws.

Great review. I'm buying this saw and I've been doing my research. Seems like everything I need. Thanks

[IvanRamirez-fssf]

Great video, I’m not familiar with table saw work yet I’m looking into buying this specific model or the smaller DWE7485.
I really appreciate your time for putting up this video with the very honest review (You should be sponsored by Dewalt)

I read multiple reviews about the table not being flat. That seems to be a known issue with this model. I'm concerned about ordering it online and the table not being flat. Did you hear about that and if dewalt fixed this problem?

[operatingengineer]

So how do you typically use the dust collection? Would you use both ports to vacuum from, the lower and hook a hose to the upper as well? I do like the review, it’ll help guide me towards my potential purchase.

How secure is the motor mount? Have you noticed any blade wobble? Can it make multiple repeated cuts consistently without having to readjust? Thanks! Reason I ask is because I don't have a dedicated shop. I'll be needing a portable table saw but I also don't want the blade wobble and inconsistent cuts that other contractor table saws have. I heard really good things about this one but, I wanted to hear it from someone who has had one for some time like you have. It would have been nice to see the motor mounts in this video as the local lowes were I live does not have one on display. Anyways an honest answer as to any wobble or inconsistent cuts would be appreciated! Thanks again 😀

[Eigencreatie]

Thank you for your review.
What I miss in the video is how straight is the top?
Cheers Daan

[guydupont]

Thanks for your video !! For what kind of cuts (or piece's size) does the not flat table top create an issue...?
