After owner a Delta 10” table saw since 1989, I just bought this saw. My impression upon completing a twelve foot farm table and small bath vanity is that this saw is wonderful. 10/10.
Just brought home this DeWalt Saw yesterday, of all the Utude's I found, this is clearly the most helpful and most helpful. I'm sold, subscribed for more helpful instruction when I need it.
Great review. My old Porter Cable saw is about ready for the scrap yard, so I've watched several reviews to help me pick a replacement. Some of the "TH-cam star wannabees" are so in love with hearing themselves talk, and some are so distracting with the overdubbed music. What a relief to find a straight to the point and real review. Thank you sir, I am a new subscriber and fan.
Thanks brother, stay safe while cutting and fabricating. I always start every project with a prayer, I always pay attention to safety and tool restrictions and when I’m tired of frustrated I stop and call it a night! Stay safe J
Thank you Harry F The saw does everything I need it to do. I make sure I clean it, and all my tools after every use. This will ensure that the saw works flawlessly every time. I was also looking at the Skill - worm drive saw. But I decided not to go with that one due to the fact that you have to add oil to it on occasion. The Saw Stop was looked at momentarily, but I just couldn’t see myself dropping $1500 on a saw just for the name. I’ve used Dewalt tools for 20 years and they’ve always held up. Stay Safe Brother! J
Good luck on that saw. It’s been a good saw you me, didn’t want to spend $1900000000000 on a machine to cut wood. Also, I was CMT saw blades in the saw, good blades and affordable! Check out the dewalt track saw as well! Stay safe J
Good review, Mr. Shavers! The little flip-over auxiliary fence is mounted on a sliding bracket, and it supports wide panels when you have the fence way out to the right or left. Flip that little fence over and it drops down to serve as a table extension to keep the panel edge at the same height as the saw table. It's an ingenious little add-on; the DeWalt engineer that came up with this feature should get raise. I've had the Ver 1 of this saw for more than five years and it is a real peach of a shop tool. Also, make yourself a small crosscut sled; the miter gauge the saw comes with is the weakest component in the package. It's easy to make your own throat plates (see Matthew Wandel's channel for a how-to).
Amen and Amen. That comment was very informative and scholarly. I made myself a cross cut sled as well and I am also eyeing the small parts sled from Rockler. This saw works every time. Thanks for the insight Sir!!!! J
Are you really able to put the square (or something flat) on the fully extended fence with thin fence set as a support/extension? Does it look leveled with the surface of the table? On mine, rails are sagging and that results in a dip. Especially when the fence is on the left hand side. Even moving the fence itself (left hand side) on the table's surface feels like dragging. Are you btw aware of a fix for that? Thanks
Great review. I've had this saw for 3 months on a great deal for £475 inc stand. I've seen lots of tutorials, and the saw is very intuitive, everything has its place. It's accurate and cuts well. Dust extraction is a must. Rack and pinion adjustment is excellent. Reduces my job sime significantly.
Correction. 5:04 That flip over piece is made to support the material being ripped when the fence is adjusted out past the table surface as it is at 4:34. When you have it adjusted out that far you are supposed to flip this piece over and it supports the plywood so it doesn't try to flop down into that open space between the fence and the table.
Thanks James! Mine arrives in 4 days. It will replace my extremely large Rigid. The Incra arrives in 7 days. I'm looking forward to tuning it up both and getting to work.
Ive had the DW745 10 inched for almost 3 months. I think Im going to return within the 90 days for this. I think Ill have more of a need for dado blades. Love the rip capacity on this as well. Thanks for the video!
Great video, and review. I laughed when you said that a Sawstop costs 23 grand! I don't think they cost that much but I remember seeing a review by a Sawstop owner being pretty upset because he felt like the company nickel and dimes you for every accessory from the moveable wheel base to the overhead dust extractor. BTW I just purchased this saw on Amazon because it is on sale at a great price. If there ever comes a day when I feel that I really need to upgrade this table saw I am pretty sure I will invest in a Laguna Fusion F2 table saw. It has a nice cast iron table, heavy duty fence, moveable base and all the bells and whistles for less than 2 grand. Hey we can all dream, right? Thanks again.
Yearns, how are you liking the dewalt so far? The rack pinion fence setup is what really catches my eye and with how smooth and quick it is to adjust.. (dude was sayin the little flip down fence is to get it close, Im sure it could be used like that but also is used for longer pieces to stay level so it doesn’t sink down in between the blade and guard..
Looking at getting this one. Nice looking shop you have there and a good explanation. One question...any special atachments needed to hook the shop vac hose to the port ?
Good morning Sir, I use a dust right hose, I believe it ( the saw ) has a 2.5 inch diameter. If you have a smaller shop vac or vac system, you can always get an attachment! B3D Table Saw Vacuum Adapter Dust Collection Shop Vac Attachment Construction a.co/d/iaVNLzU
Excellent video? Can you do 45 degree cuts on this? Can you cut Douglas fir 2x4, 2x6? Can you cut cedar wood, oak, and certain hardwoods like Cherry Wood?
I have 6.5 " makita it's a good saw cuts pressure treated without a problem. Only faults is the knob to raise/lower the blade, limited cutting capacity and small blade. It has ability to mount jigsaw and router,i use the router aspect to make cabinet doors. I will keep the saw. After your demonstration will purchase the Dewalt. I was debating another Makita though 10" or Dewalt 10"? You made my choice easier, Dewalt it will be, nice video.
Yes Sir, I looked at the Saw Stop and various other saws, I just couldn’t justify spending $200000000 on a saw, on the other hand, I did purchase a Festool Domino, I guess I yielded to temptation. Either way, the Dewalt is a solid saw - stay safe and God Bless! J
Love the saw having wheels and handle, assuming that saw weighs what 70-75lbs? Could be loaded by myself or would I want someone to help, and where did you get this bad boy at? I’ve been lookin around and all the big box and amazon have the 8.5” saw itself. The rack and pinion looks super easy to use and make accurate cuts.. good review my friend, I’ll be looking for one of these to add to my dewalt tool collection!
@@jamesshaverswoodworks3697 It is an anti kickback piece that I figured out, it attaches to the guard by pushing in a button on the side. It was attached below the table and the instructions didn't mention it. It has teeth to dig into the wood if the wood wants to come back at you.
@@jamesshaverswoodworks3697 no, I know what the splitter is and its called a riving knife. There is also an anti kickback that fastens to the gaurd to keep wood from kicking back at you.
The small fence actually has 2 positions, 1 for support when making a wider rip, and 2 to give you clearance for push blocks when ripping narrower materials
Hey, at 5:06 you are demonstrating the thin fence. Are you able to put the square (or something flat) on the fully extended fence with thin fence set as a support/extension? Does it look leveled with the surface of the table? On mine, rails are sagging and that results in a dip. Especially when the fence is on the left hand side. Even moving the fence itself (left hand side) on the table's surface feels like dragging. Are you btw aware of a fix for that? Thanks
You may have gotten a bad fence. I haven’t had any type of issue with mine. I know there are a few adjustment screws on each side of the fence. You may want to try adjusting the fence by tightening or loosing the screws for square. If this doesn’t work - you probably got a bad fence! Good Luck J
@@jamesshaverswoodworks3697 Just to double check: when you extend the fence all the way out, you are not able to slightly lift the fence upward or downward? There is no play at all, right? I am debating if I should exchange the saw or not. Btw I was able to adjust the thin fence, so it works as a support now. There is this pivoting screw on the hinges, which is also working as a locking pin. Just loosen it and adjust to correct the issue. Thanks
@@luktish When you extend the fence all the way out, there are 2 levers that lock the fence into place. Once you lock the fence into place it should be secure and sturdy…
The saw stands about 36 inches tall when the legs are folded out. When the legs are retracted the saw folds and the top from the floor is 47 inches tall by 2 ft front yo back and about 27 inches side to side. If you can go to Home-depot, often times they have the floor models out. Good luck J www.jamesshavers.com
Good evening, what is this model? I am considering buying DEWALT DWE7485, for the installation of doors, stairs. I look at the small wheels on the saw stand, can't I carry it up the steps? How is it accurate, a large deviation of the parallel stop relative to the disk? They say that a thin table, over time, due to the severity of the engine, a hole appears in the middle of the table.
The model Number for this saw is DWE79491RS. You can roll it up the steps, If you're looking for something more portable, check out the Dewalt portable table saw, Model # DWE7485. It's smaller but packs the same punch as its larger brother. The accuracy is what you make of it, you may need to check the levels once you set it up, but that's on any saw. From the Saw stop, Powermatic, Grizzle, or the Felder sliding saws. I've seen guys use cheap saws and get accurate cuts and I've seen guys use expensive saws and get horrible cuts. Either way, I use Dewalt tools daily - They hold up, they are strong and the warranty is solid. Stay safe J
@@jamesshaverswoodworks3697 I have a DEWALT DW713 miter saw and I'm not happy with it. I had to fix a lot, not accurate. Both vertical and tilted table. The clamping washer is minus 2 mm. The disc was jumping, plus it was bent with a plate. At a friend Makita's, she just sawed from the box. There is a fear to buy again DIY
You can Dado with it. You have to buy the Dado insert, it's a Dewalt insert. You can get it from here. www.toolnut.com/dewalt-dwe7402di-dado-throat-plate.html?
@@zloungeact it should do pretty well. (I usually use up the factory blade and then switch to Diablo blades.) Depends on the wood and which direction you’re cutting. I do some cabinets on my mine and do have a decent amount of sanding to do on the edges. If you’re worried about splintering, you can always tape the cuts before you put it though the saw.
Tim, I went with this 10 inch because before I retired, we used the older model of the Dewalt 10 inch table saw. Dewalt seems to hold up, I have Dewalt drills, sanders, planners and by thing else Dewalt makes. They provide power, durability and have been proven reliable. Don’t get m wrong Sir. I own Festool, Rigid, and any other tool brand known to man. I looked at the Saw Stop but I just didn’t want to drop the $$$$ on a saw. My neighbor across the street has an Industrial Saw Stop, so if I need to use it - I’ll use his. This Dewalt saw has done everything I’ve asked it to do! Stay Safe Brother J www.jamesshavers.com
Yes Sir, still working great. Any time I have an issue, it’s not with the saw it’s with me. Before I retired, I was a 9-5 carpenter and the company I worked for supplied is Dewalt tools. We beat them up, dropped them and abused them fir years. They kept functioning. I own a few Festool products, Rigid, Ryobe, Craftsman, Milwaukee and anything else that functions. Either way, I didn’t want to spend $1000.0000 on a saw just for the break. Either way, This saw works great! Stay Safe J www.jamesshavers.com
The riving knife/splitter is mounted to the motor's trunion. When used with a 10" blade, it is always at the correct height because it raises and lowers with the blade itself.
Mateo, thanks for the comment Sir, I have cut through oak, maple, cherry, walnut all the hard woods. One thing though. I would probably invest in another blade, a better blade other than the factory one. Try a Forrest blade. Or a CMT blade, orange blade. They are cheaper than the Forrest but they cut great. Also, another great saw with lots of power that is not as expensive as the SawStop but had a bit more power than the Dewalt is the Skill - Work Drive Blade. The only draw back with that saw is that you must keep it filled with Oil, either way both saws will do what you are needing! Stay safe and God Bless J www.cmtorangetools.com/na-en/industrial-saw-blades www.sliversmill.com/category_3_DADO_KING_SETS.html
You are so right Sir. Slipped my mind completely, not only will I make sure I address this safety reminder moving forward corporately but I will also adhere to this reminder Personally as well!!!!!!!!!’ Thank you for the reminder Sir. J
your setup is nice but could be better lol you need to get a electric on/off foot pedal for that vaccum and put it right under the table saw and after ever cut just step on the foot pedal to turn of vaccum ....simple and they cost nomore than 20$........i use a foot pedal attached to my vaccum for my miter saw and table saw lol i cringed seeing you have to walk around to keep hittin the on/off switch on the vaccum
Thanks for the advise. That saw is usually rolled away. I use my Dewalt track saw to cut down sheets to size. When I do pull it out, I have it dedicated to a Dust right vac.
I like how you say DeWalt. It has never sounded so cool. And please, use the push stick on the wood by the fence. Nobody want to see you, or something around you get hurt. 🍻
If you are going to review this shouldn't you check that it comes square out of the box? I never once saw you with a tape measure or any form of measuring tool to check that this thing was worth top dollar. I want to support you but this is lazy.
@@jamesshaverswoodworks3697 No hate, I like your style. Just pointing out that yes, this is an awesome setup, but just check it and make sure things are on the up and up. Keep producing content and I hope the best for you.

Thanks for the review. A lot of guys seem to like to hear themselves talk, but you get right to the point. Cameraman was pretty good too! Nice job.

Yes Sir - I would agree. I added a Incra 1000 Miter gauge to mine and I run it through a Rockler dust right system.
That fence that flips over is to support the timber when cutting wide pieces
I was hoping somebody was gonna let him know.

You had me at “get busy with it” 😂 good job
The small fence can also be used to support the work piece with the fence moved all the way out.
Great review. I was already leaning towards this one, but your review just cemented it more in my mind. Thanks.
Awesome! Thanks for taking time to put this together. I'm getting one.
I came here to find where the wrenches and miter gauge storage is. I can’t see those little pictures in the manual. Thanks !

Kinda been on the fence about this saw, but after your review I'm going to pull the trigger on one..
good job man, call 'em like you saw 'em, thanks

Does it have a safety switch? The one that automatically turns off when the power is cut?
Yes Sir, it does have a power shut off.
Solid review, thanks
What made you decide on this 10 inch version vs the 8-1/4 inch version?
Tim, I went with this 10 inch because before I retired, we used the older model of the Dewalt 10 inch table saw. Dewalt seems to hold up, I have Dewalt drills, sanders, planners and by thing else Dewalt makes. They provide power, durability and have been proven reliable.
Don’t get m wrong Sir. I own Festool, Rigid, and any other tool brand known to man. I looked at the Saw Stop but I just didn’t want to drop the $$$$ on a saw. My neighbor across the street has an Industrial Saw Stop, so if I need to use it - I’ll use his.
This Dewalt saw has done everything I’ve asked it to do!
Stay Safe

Great review James.
Is it still working well after six months?
Is the riving knife/splitter adjustable ?
Thanks, you got a Sub from me
Yes Sir, still working great. Any time I have an issue, it’s not with the saw it’s with me. Before I retired, I was a 9-5 carpenter and the company I worked for supplied is Dewalt tools. We beat them up, dropped them and abused them fir years. They kept functioning. I own a few Festool products, Rigid, Ryobe, Craftsman, Milwaukee and anything else that functions. Either way, I didn’t want to spend $1000.0000 on a saw just for the break. Either way, This saw works great!

I do not think the riving knife is adjustable. But I do know that SHARK GUARD makes them. They sell a lot of cool items.
The riving knife/splitter is mounted to the motor's trunion. When used with a 10" blade, it is always at the correct height because it raises and lowers with the blade itself.
Best review out there ! Do you think it could cut off 8/4 oak or maple ?
Mateo, thanks for the comment Sir, I have cut through oak, maple, cherry, walnut all the hard woods. One thing though. I would probably invest in another blade, a better blade other than the factory one. Try a Forrest blade. Or a CMT blade, orange blade. They are cheaper than the Forrest but they cut great. Also, another great saw with lots of power that is not as expensive as the SawStop but had a bit more power than the Dewalt is the Skill - Work Drive Blade. The only draw back with that saw is that you must keep it filled with Oil, either way both saws will do what you are needing!
Stay safe and God Bless

Good Review, but safety first, wearing safety glasses is the first thing you grab before pressing that switch button for all power tools.
You are so right Sir. Slipped my mind completely, not only will I make sure I address this safety reminder moving forward corporately but I will also adhere to this reminder Personally as well!!!!!!!!!’
Thank you for the reminder Sir.
J
Thanks . I'll go with Dewalt
You should put the model number (dw7491rs) in your title. Not a lot of review on this saw out there. Yours should habe more view
Dw7491rs
Thx for the video
fine boots... safety first...
O yeah, Thanks for the compliment Sir!
your setup is nice but could be better lol you need to get a electric on/off foot pedal for that vaccum and put it right under the table saw and after ever cut just step on the foot pedal to turn of vaccum ....simple and they cost nomore than 20$........i use a foot pedal attached to my vaccum for my miter saw and table saw lol i cringed seeing you have to walk around to keep hittin the on/off switch on the vaccum
Thanks for the advise. That saw is usually rolled away. I use my Dewalt track saw to cut down sheets to size. When I do pull it out, I have it dedicated to a Dust right vac.
I’m on board with this just dubbed
I like how you say DeWalt. It has never sounded so cool.
And please, use the push stick on the wood by the fence. Nobody want to see you, or something around you get hurt. 🍻
What is the model number?
Pual C, below is the information on the table saw.
Model# DWE7491RS
Internet# 204512007
Store SKU# 1002278867
Comes with free push stick, doesn't use it..
Yes Sir, thanks for the oversight. I will make haste to comply with that directive Sir.
Stay safe

If you are going to review this shouldn't you check that it comes square out of the box? I never once saw you with a tape measure or any form of measuring tool to check that this thing was worth top dollar.
I want to support you but this is lazy.
Thank you for reminding me how slothful i am. Moving forward I will make haste to include your kind suggestions Sir.
Thanks again
J
@@jamesshaverswoodworks3697 No hate, I like your style. Just pointing out that yes, this is an awesome setup, but just check it and make sure things are on the up and up.
Keep producing content and I hope the best for you.
Mine was perfect out of the box
