Improving Dewalt Jobsite Table Saw With 3 Crucial Upgrades 

the newer version (like my 7492) has all that except for softstart. I would say the top 3 upgrades are: 1 throw away the mitre guage and replace with something decent or at least use a bit of tape, to minimize rattle. 2 make a zero clearance insert or crosscut sled 3 get something like a flat but wide aluminum extrusion for m8 that can simply be attached to the fence, e.g. for resawing. 🙋🏻‍♀️Anna

You do have to spend some time setting the saw up... blade, fence, etc. But once done, the saw is great. Fairly compact which is Nice ru-vid.comUgkxXh-4_3-ZT1fFWP91ZV7iVqzElr0lEb-a I did get an Incra Miter Gauge which takes some setup as well. The stock miter gauge can be adjusted in the miter slot with a little painter's tape... this tightens up the side to side play a lot.

That soft start module blew my mind!

That’s brilliant. My saw is arriving today and I’ll do all the mods thank you.

Pretty interesting process, dude! Great work! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Okay now I know what to do with the last bit of my red roll of filament! It felt like a shame to throw it away so I was hanging onto it. Thanks!

This is a great video! I love the soft start!

Thanks for sharing those tips and the make!

Really simple, yet very useful

the soft start sure is a nice feature to have.

Those are some great mods! Thanks for sharing.

Great useful information.

Super presentation 👍

Brilliant! Awesome tip.

This video is so super helpful! Thank you so much :)

awesome upgrades

My DWE7485 already has all of those features, including the soft start feature, and the standard riving knife, but the start button also has a safety lock to lock the saw from being able to start. And it has an additional pin feature to be able to lock the lock self into that same position to keep the Saul from being able to be unlocked.

Besides being jarring, loud and annoying, the 'Hard Start' on the Dewalt can chew up the kerfs on tablesaw sleds, bounce the workpiece off the table, etc. Thanks so much for showing the addition of a soft start in such detail - I'm definitely going to do this!

REAlly nice soft start.

You should use boots for that soft start wiring. It will short out with jostling.

This is a awesome tip! Will this work with this Model DWE74858-1/4 IN. COMPACT JOBSITE TABLE SAW? Thanks for the info! 👍👍

Brilliant …. Thx

Interesting. The UK (DeWalt) version of this table saw - & I include mine - purchased from new five years ago, has a low profile Riving knife, soft start module in-situ, & an overlaid kill-switch plate; unsure as to where precisely you are on the globe, but I find these three essential components should be standard, worldwide. That said, your tutorial for upgrading was excellent.

Hi, really helpful video but could you help? I really like the soft start but in the UK we use 110v on-site, which is the saw I have, do you know if there is that a module for that?

love it when woodworking and 3D printing come together

Could you tell me the gauge or mm squared area of the wire on this module? It looks too small to carry 16A

Wonderful video thanks a lot. Please can you tell me where you bought soft start module and stop switch?

Thank you for the tips. I have dwe7492 and the start annoys me a lot and I was looking for a solution. 🙏🙏

Be sure to check the specs on any soft start module you buy. Dewalt job site saws are rates at 20 amps as are many other saws. Even my Dewalt circular saw is rated 20 amps. It's difficult to find a soft start module rated at 20 amps.

Really useful video... I bought the one on the Amazon link with all the adaptor... Cheers TaylorMadeByPaul if you want to purchase a hardwood Flappy Paddle

No 2 and 3 already done, never mind no 1.

Good video, that hard start is very annoying!! But I have a key question - that fence of aluminium extrusion is not standard - where did you get it from? Is it a standard extrusion profile or did you get it made custom? And how did you attach it? That for me is one of the weaknesses of the standard saw that it looks like you have fixed really well, but strangely not shared! I have seen huge plywood or MDF fences built over the DeWalt fence, but they are way too big, heavy and ugly for me! Were you able to build any adjustment into it? That is, some of these fences are not 100% vertical, but there is no adjustability - were you able to make any fine adjustments using threads, shims or such like? Would be really curious to know! (thanks)

Where did you get the soft start module? Could you poste a link please. thanks for the video!

Do these mods void your warranty?

Good

2:30 name of this thing? link on amzon?

...First Thing I Always Do When I Unbox A New Table Saw! ...!!

Very 👍🏻

Already I’m not a good woodworker…. You scared me with my Dewalt table saw. . I wish I had your intelligence because I am scared of my table saw… But nonetheless a good video for much more experienced hands on workers. Cheers.

5:14 BIG MISTAKE!

Where can we find the spade adapters?

That wiring is different than mine

I only have 2 white and 2 black

Nic

Cuanto cuesta??

I was hoping for fence post upgrades or accuracy improvements. Etc..

super mais introuvable en france

how can you make this saw less noisy?

Build a tree 🏠

First for the fist time ever 🥳🎉

In reality Dewalt is not concerned with supplying a TOP bench saw: -The internal dust insulation has been changed, even so the machine releases a lot of dust. - It's a noisy machine. - The consumer does not have the option to buy this machine at 127 volts. - No disc brake - Goniometer with clearance. - There is no flange size option, plastering the consumer to buy cutting discs of another size (should come shaft hole flanges of other disc sizes as an accessory). - The cutting edge is out of adjustment. - The angle adjustment knob is too hard as well as unreliable. - Does not fit 254 mm disc, only 250 mm. When starting and stopping the engine, strangely "spark". DISAPPOINTMENT! The industries, such as Bosch, Makita, Dewalt etc. it is the same disrespect towards the consumer. Adilson you're right! Enough of watching videos from RU-vidrs running their hands over the heads of the saw manufacturers just to beg and beg a shut up and in favor of GARBAGE!!!!!!! People who keep selling themselves to the manufacturers of saws and tools in exchange for "jabá". The reality is one, for tool manufacturers, we are considered third class consumers, not to mention the lack of safety and quality! We cannot and must not accept these equipment and tools without quality, safety and respect for others, it is the lack of maturity prevailing at the expense of reasonableness, common sense, ethics, safety and respect! We cannot accept that we Brazilians are treated as third-class consumers, denying us and making us have to consume products without quality. We don't have to accept what the manufacturers want to sell us and push down our throats, precarious, limited machines, which fall short of our needs. Today, the market has a lack and need for portable saws with better quality, as well as features and safety. This "little chat" and the justification of the industries that these machines are for construction sites only serves to relieve them of launching better saws. Year after year the so-called "releases" and or "new" do not have effective advances and improvements. It is the same as always, the accommodation of industries. What really changes is just price, always more expensive, without significant effective improvements for the consumer!
