Thanks for the video. The advertised height of the stand is low. But that is a compromise you knowingly make getting a small portable device. As opposed to the rolling stand or other options. Not meant for regular production. Just got this myself and love it. Appreciated your video detail for the accessories and tools. Best of luck.
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.
just bought this kit from Home Depot and looked up this video once i set the stand up because i thought I assembled it wrong because its so short... really annoying im a 6'6" dude and this stand is laughable. definitely going to shop for something taller maybe ill build a small platform out of 2x4s for now to get this thing higher...
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.
More videos please! Thanks for the set up got mine w a special - they included the table - doing some finishing on my wall I did w shiplap- can you please make a video on crown molding 😳
How tall are you? I just got the DWE7485 saw and am looking for a stand. This stand may be tall enough for me. But if not, I'm thinking how hard would it be to make up some longer legs?
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.
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.
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.
Nice video. I can see that the DW7451 stand is the right one for the DWE7485 table saw. They do not appear to sell the DW7451 in the U.K. but do in the U.S. In the UK they sell the DE7450 stand but that is not the right one for the DWE7485. Did you buy your DW7451 in the UK and if you did could you please let me have a link to where? Thanks.
Question. Where do the large washers (8) go? Did you use the larger bolts on the legs or to secure the saw to the stand? THe provided directions in the box are sketchy. Thanks in advance.
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.
Great video, which I appreciate. I do have one question. Did you ever attempt to fit the smaller bolts to secure the tablesaw down to the stand? It seems odd, but it appears to me that the bolts do fit on one side, but are off slightly for the other. The Dewalt website does not list the DWE7485 as a compatible model for the stand, but then the big box special gives you the DW 7451 with the DWE7485…
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.
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.
@@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.
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.

Thanks!!! This was really helpful for me on a Sunday evening, trying to finish this dang bathroom.
I'm glad my video helped you out. I definitely know the feeling, hope the rest of your bathroom build goes smoothly!
Thank you very much for your time and efforts, your video saved me tone of time.
Thanks Steven! I'm glad my video helped 😀
Thanks for your informarion. We are waiting a new review about the use of your saw. 👍🏼
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.
Thanks dude

Hey! Thank you for this video... I definitely needed it!
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
More videos please! Thanks for the set up got mine w a special - they included the table - doing some finishing on my wall I did w shiplap- can you please make a video on crown molding 😳
Good overview dude
Thank you John!
Are you considering purchasing this saw?
Very useful. THANKS!!
I'm glad you found benefit in the video. More to come soon.
The woodshop is coming together.
"that is really low" lol, not for short guys like me! Sometimes being short pays off.
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.

keep going...
I had to take some time away from the shop but recently started back at it. More videos to come soon 😃
Just got mine and the bolt holes don't line up. Apparently Dewalt has different flavors of the stand (or roll cage?) and some don't mate.
Ugh, that's frustrating!

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.

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

Thanks for your review! Is the stand sturdy, or it's wobbly?
As long as it's on a stable flat surface, it is sturdy.

Im tall I got the stand really shitty so low
Unfortunate for sure.
