Wow, your table sounds awesome! I couldn't even think of cutting down a 4x8 sheet on my setup, let alone have the space in my shop to do so. Happy to hear it's serving you well 👍🏽

Wow, first off, thank you for taking the time to share all that! -How did flattening the table with the tile work out? If you had to do it again, would you? -Great idea to mill out the miter slots and add your own t-track. Did you screw it to the table or used epoxy? -I appreciate the recommendation for the blades, I will look into them. -Keep us posted if you come up with a way to add a more accurate tilt adjustment mechanism.

@@onehandydude4380 -How did flattening the table with the tile work out? If you had to do it again, would you? it worked out well but was a lot more work than i was expecting. if i had to do it again, and i will setup my flattening jig for the router and skim the top flat with that so i can control the plane of flatness. my jig is pretty rigid on linear rails. i've used it to flatten aluminum before. lots of passes at 1/64" cuts or less. then i'll epoxy down some 1/4" aluminum plate. but using good quality wet/dry sandpaper on a dead flat granite tile worked and made the saw feel like a whole new machine. you could also do it with a dead flat piece of melamine, a friend of mine did it and it worked fine, but you can't put much pressure or it will flex. the granite provides the weight, you just slide it around. -Great idea to mill out the miter slots and add your own t-track. Did you screw it to the table or used epoxy? i epoxied it in. when you epoxy to aluminum you need to get some epoxy on the clean surface and sand it in a bit because aluminum instantly oxidizes when exposed to air and that oxide layer can come lose under stress. all that said, i think drilling and tapping the slots for machine screws is probably fine, but i put some leverage on mine that is unhealthy so i wanted some extra security. i can always mill them back out again if i need to fix something. the adjustment mechanism is hard because of what is available underneath the saw. not a lot to mount to easily that doesn't get in the way of something else. I am thinking of just going with electronic control at this point. wires are easier than linkages. just gonna move the tilt with controls, not full DRO or anything yet. if it works out maybe i'll post something about it. on the subject of blades, i really like makita 7-1/4" blades for ripping straight grained lumber. the diablo 7-1/4" blade is also good. those blades have a much smaller kerf than any 8-1/4" blade though so get a thin kerf riving knife. i know amazon has ones that fit the saw, that's where i got mine. look for one with something like 2mm max kerf.

@@onehandydude4380 after saying all of that, i forgot to mention that just putting a piece of good quality and flat plywood on top will really help for finer work. cut a kerf into it and hold it to the t-slots with a some countersunk screws and t-nuts. i did that for a while and it worked pretty well. i used 12mm baltic birch, but melamine should also work just fine.

Thank you! The carbon media should be replaced after 5 years or after "1,301,770 gallons of water". Not sure exactly how you'd be able to track that aside from having recorded your water meter reading at time of install. The sediment filter should be changed out every 6-9 months depending on your water quality.

Yikes! That doesn't seem normal, I would reach out to Dewalt. Has the noise changed over time?

it is brand new. It was like that from the start. I am taking it back to the shop. It must be faulty.

Yeah, I'd be doing the same. Hopefully the replacement is better 🤞🏽

Ugh, that's frustrating! Are you sure the stand is oriented the right way? If possible, please update once you have a solution, I'll pin your comment so future viewers can be aware.

@@onehandydude4380 I verified the orientation. The 1-page manual shows a different design for the stand's rear rail. The features and angle are wrong. I decided to notch out the inside edge of the rear holes to allow the bolts to find daylight. Hard to explain but I can't load a pic here.

Glad you enjoyed it, thank you!

Thank you John! Are you considering purchasing this saw?

I wasn't aware of the 7480. Does your saw accept a dado stack?

I look forward to it. Let me know when you post it

@@onehandydude4380 will do and I appreciate you doing that video....

Hey bro....my video is about to be set to premiere....it should be loaded in just a few minutes.

Thank you

What is the purpose of the soft start module? Is it to minimize the inrush current draw when starting the saw?

I'm sorry to hear that. Do you recall what disappointed you about the Dewalt? What do you like about the Skil?

I'll get working on that one soon 👌🏽

New video of my dust filtration system is up. I hope you like it 😃

Thank you!

Thank you! Lots more to come! 😃

Being short definitely has its advantages 👍🏽 How are you liking your saw?

@@onehandydude4380 No complaints here! I would definitely recommend it. I used it for years in finish carpentry and it always performed top-notch.

Great question! I had actually tried this approach before settling on this method. The problem I was finding with this was it left a splintered surface full of tear out. I was also having difficulty holding the drill and moving the sled consistently, so I was leaving areas untouched and having to go back over again. In retrospect, I think if I had positioned the router bit to cut on the side rather than on top, I may have gotten a better result.

Unfortunate for sure. I ended up building an outfeed table that houses the saw. I'll be releasing a video soon with my review of the saw now that I've had it for a few years.

Haha great timing 👍🏽

That's a great idea! I'll have to try that next time.

I'll work on getting my review of the saw out soon. Thank you for the reminder!

I wanted to let you know, I just published my 3 year review of the tablesaw.

I'm glad my video helped you out. I definitely know the feeling, hope the rest of your bathroom build goes smoothly!

Thanks so much! 😊

Oh man, sorry to hear that! This planer is newer to me, I got it this past spring and did a full tear down and rebuild of it. I'm quite pleased with it. I'm surprised you weren't able to find replacement gears for it. We're they the ones driven by link chain for the rollers or the gears in the box that drove the planer head? I hear the 735 is 👌🏽 Glad you're enjoying it! Thanks for the support!

The ability to adjust as needed was something I definitely wanted to include. I try to incorporate this into all my shop pieces. An added benefit with this has also been having the ability to take a whole shelf with me to the bench when using my hand drill.

Thank you! I assume, as a fellow woodworker, you can relate to the problem of having an abundance of scraps you just can't stomach to toss 😄

@@onehandydude4380 oh yes. I am not spending as much time as i want on my hobby but most of the time i am trying use of off cuts to use them.

Thanks! Looking forward to filling it up 😁

I'm glad you enjoyed the content. Stay tuned for more 🙂

I'm 5 ft 10. I guess you could fashion up some legs to extend the stand, or even use something like bed risers. I ended up building an assembly/ outfeed table as I also needed additional support when ripping longer materials.

@@OneHandyDude Thanks. I'm 5'10" too.

And my new DW7451 has arrived. Sure enough, it only raises the saw 20 inches. I'm 5'10", so not that tall, but 20" is not enough. Thirty inches would be about right. I am now grappling with my previous question "How hard would it be to make up some longer legs?" Well, it's harder than I thought. The weird design of the DW7451 makes it a challenge. It's good points: sturdy enough, folds flat, no fussy connector arms; unfold and it's ready. Bad points: too low, hard to mod.

Haha I can only imagine how short it looks with you standing next to it. I'm 5' 9" and I struggled with the height. I just finished building an assembly/outfeed table, I built a removable extension on the end for my table saw. It's so much more comfortable to use now and I can easily remove it when not needed.

Hi @JLAnt, I never tried bolting the stand to the saw, you're lucky though, I still have the bolts (that never happens) and tried installing them. I found the ones towards the front of the saw went in fine, however the fitment of the washer was not great, the edge was getting caught on the yellow plastic and causing it to sit at an angle, if I were to install the bolts I'd probably trim that edge so it didn't catch or bent the wash a bit. For the back two bolts, I was able to get them in although the holes were slightly off center. I hope that answered your question.

I just got the DW7451 stand. On the box it says "for use with DWE7485 and DCS7485 table saws."

Thanks, just got this saw + stand on sale from Amazon Prime Day. This clears up the upper bolts don't fit the holes mystery. The instructions that came with the stand lack sufficient detail. I'm thinking about using zip ties or hose clamps to secure the saw to the stand when I get around to using the saw. @@onehandydude4380

I had the same issue plus the washers for one side are too big to use. Wound up putting one on one side and diagonally on the other side. Allows for quick break down and transport in having to two separate.

I'm glad you found this helpful! Thanks for your kind words

I had to take some time away from the shop but recently started back at it. More videos to come soon 😃

Sorry for the super late response, I purchased my stand in the states, unfortunately I don't have any info for what's available in the UK.

As long as it's on a stable flat surface, it is sturdy.

@@onehandydude4380 Thank you! The reason I asked, is that there are no diagonal bars in the stand frame. Of course they can be easily added for more stability if needed.

Hi Ray, you want to use the bolts with the nylon nuts to secure the legs. The bolts with the washers and non-nylon nuts are used to secure the saw to the base.

You're absolutely right, I made the mistake of not verifying what the height of the saw would be with this stand. I've used it with the stand a handful of times and it wasn't terrible, in my eyes it's just not sustainable for long periods of use. The saw has been a gem to use otherwise.

I'm glad you found benefit in the video. More to come soon. The woodshop is coming together.

Hi Michael, Thank you for the comment. I'm based in New Jersey. Please feel free to direct message me on IG @ OneHandyDude.

I like the lower maintenance of this system for sure. Combine that with the added benefit of not adding sodium into the drinking water and its a win in my book.

Hi Brian, I would absolutely recommend this product. I found it to be well designed and engineered. The water no longer leaves mineral deposits on the faucets and shower doors. I think you will be very happy with it.

Absolutely 👍🏽 Glad it helped

Thanks Steven! I'm glad my video helped 😀
