Best Dewalt Table Saws

Beating heart of home woodshop – Note: item pictured at top of reviews shows a trolley stand which is not included with the saw. Being a hobbyist DIYer who likes to make things… Read more

about the house, I put off getting a table saw for a long timel they're just so expensive. Now I feel like an idiot for doing so. The DWE7491 has become the most used tool in the shop.

This thing isn't cheap. Weighing in at nearly $1300 it was a cause for anxiety when I pulled the trigger. But I am so glad I did.

Here are the things I love: - The fence is dreamy, with a wonderful rack and pinion adjustment. Keeps it true. - Rip capacity is well over 800mm - Powerful motor cuts everything with ease - Onboard storage of fence and other tooling (but not blade changing spanners) - Includes blade changing spanners that work

Here are the things I'm not so fond of: - It is LOUD! The motor is not built in to cabinetry so it is free to yell at you. Wear ear protection. - The motor sparks when stopping - The tracks are non-standard size - The arbor is 16mm, making it difficult to find suitable blades (use a reducer) - The fence is a little short for longer cuts. - Dust collection isn't perfect, but show me a saw that is

This tool opens up so many opportunities for new projects. It has been used to build shelves, shop tools (e.g. drill press table), cabinets, cutlery drawer inserts, ripped down panels and ply, and much more. I haven't touched my circular saws or mitre saw since I bought it several months ago.

I also received the DWE74912-XJ scissor stand as a bonus and the saw fitted on to it with no problems. The stand is stable and I've had no issues with balance or tipping. I also use roller stands from Bunnings for longer workpieces to ensure they remain level at the ends of the cuts.

It isn't a match for a cabinet saw, but it is more affordable, transportable and smaller, which is great for the hobbyist on a money and space budget.

Good value but understand it's limitations – This is not a tool designed for fine wood working. It has many shortcomings, but some can be overcome with a little bit of effort. Some very good… Read more

I got mine for about 580 on clearance and it was pretty square right out of the box.

I made a cross cut sled and found that using two runners caused the sled to bind. The runners on their own slid smoothly, so I can only assume that the mitre slots are not 100% parallel which is a shame but not a huge deal. I just use one runner now. The blade is close enough to parallel with the slots that the cuts are good enough for my work.

It makes a ton of dust so use it outside or with dust collection.

Cuts well, plenty of power, the rack and pinion fence is easy to dial in accurate cuts. It does a good job for the price.

I do wish it was more precise but this tool is compact and portable which for me is more important.

The power switch makes perfect sense to me. Easy to turn off, hard to start. If you read the manual you'd know how it works.

Very said service purchased the table saw and I got a redemption for a scissor saw stand when contacting DeWALT they told me will be up to 60 day… Read more
