The DeWalt DWE7485 Review 

You won’t regret. In my own opinion, it’s the best portable tablesaw money can buy.

yeah. after using this saw for awhile now i have gotten used to the switch. I really like how portable this saw is.

No problem! Both my parents were born in Holland.

Thanks!

Good to hear! I have used it on one hardwood job so far and it performed great!

Ffftttf

Similarly price in Australia; A$800 cheapest I can find.

Please use the top guard, it protects your fingers and you wont get showered with sawdust.

Just about to buy one . Found one for £445 😊. Brand new at Lawson h.i.s 😊

DW7491 is out of stock everywhere.

@user-ww2lc1yo9c Not in England. Try Lawson H.I.S

Hahaha. Never heard that one. It’s just a pellet gun.

Thanks!

Your very welcome Wes! Have a great Sunday!😎

Thanks for the 'Aussie' input!

Why $800???? That's what the did to you after they got yer guns????? I'm NEVER giving mine up!!!!

DeWalt have to drop in a 240V motor for us blokes. Adds to the price but still hurts.

Thanks. It’s just an air rifle. I am not allowed to have a real gun. Here in Canada you need a license to own a firearm.

PLUMBUS!!

Thanks! It is aluminum. Very durable.

@@WesHamstra Glad to hear this I went to the local CT store and when I cranked their brand to 45 the table bowed and it was aluminum as well, didn't buy it real crap ended up with Ridgid

That’s very true. I have noticed that Milwaukee’s job site saw has a shockingly similar fence to the dewalt. Almost identical. Makes me wonder if they both come from the same factory and paint one red and the other yellow

@@WesHamstra Yeah the Bosch GTS 10 XC on paper seems more refined, until you start looking at RU-vid reviews from people that own that saw and there are some glaring quality issues. Soft start is nice, solvable with a cheap soft start mod sold on Amazon for the Dewalt. The gimmick of a mitre gauge that comes with the Dewalt can be upgraded using a product sold from Banggood which fits the track and has stops for common angles. Another thing is dust collection, the Dewalt is seriously much better than the Bosch in this regard. For all the talk about not being able to fit a router table to the Dewalt, there are people on RU-vid who've done just this or build custom extensions and workbenches that support the rack n pinion fence. Slightly more complicated but at the end of the day if you can work with wood should be no problem. Let's also not forget the quick release for blade guard or riving knife. That's so much better than having to open up the saw each time you want to swap them out. I just have a generally good feeling from the Dewalt, sure it's not a Sawstop or a Festool, but in the price range, it's not easy to beat.

Never have much thought about the height. Now that you mentioned it. It’s a lot higher then the fence on my cabinet saw.

If you cross Öresund you can find it for 600 USD in Sweden 😀

Good to hear. You will enjoy it!

NO PUEDE USAR UN JUEGO DE DADO :(

I'm not exactly a pro although I have been using a 3 phase saw for many many hours. The riving knife is to help prevent kickback by helping keep the material perpendicular to the fence. If the riving knife was not there and you accidentally twist the material as you push it past the blade it could jam between the fence and the blade and then there is only one way out... i.e launching it out the front of the saw like a missile. It's no joke if this happens, people often loose a finger of two in this situation or break a rib, or worse. It's well worth learning how to use a table saw properly, there are many bad demos on YT of people doing very risky stuff (like cross cutting against the fence or pulling the material back towards you after the cut is made) However, if you respect it and know what you're doing, there is no need to be scared of it, just as the guy that made this video demonstrated very well.

@@wongowonga Thank you! I appreciate your response.

Hi Rock, when you rip cut (cut solid wood along the grain) one of three things can happen: 1) The kerf (the gap cut by the saw blade) can open up. 2) The kerf can stay the same if the wood stays straight. 3) The kerf can close up behind the saw blade causing it to bind or pinch the blade. If it pinches the blade, the wood will "kickback" (be thrown back) towards the machinist - YOU! This can cause injury to the operator and damage the work. The riving knife keeps the kerf from closing up behind the saw blade. In Great Briton, if you remove the riving knife and have an accident, you will be fired, and be prosecuted as it's illegal. The only time I remove the riving knife is to create grooves - no kickback!

That’s correct. This saw is the baby brother.

I check Amazon and there are a few 60 tooth blades

You can also fit a 7-1/4” blade if you can’t find what you need in a 8-1/4”

It also says this is a 8 1/2” saw. Will this accept the Diablo 8 1/2” 60 tooth blade?

Yes I am. I will have a follow up video on it

Yes it can. That’s how I store it

@@WesHamstra thank you!!

Thanks! Sometimes I can be funny.

I have no idea. Dewalt does make a cordless version of this saw. you may want to look into that one.

You want to return it now?

@@WesHamstra ill just trade it with yours

No, Thank You

Hmm. I haven’t had a problem yet finding blades.

I just bought one yesterday. But it was the only model the store carried (40-tooth Diablo), and it was $30. They had a much wider selection of 10s, some as cheap as $10.

I have both. I don't have any complaints with the smaller saw. Thought at first that I would have an issue with the smaller blade, but nope. This review is spot on.

Under the table there is a lever. If you flick that down it locks the fence.

@@WesHamstra found it - TY!

Thanks man!

Yep. You can easily build furniture with this.

Thanks. The ad revenue I made on this video has paid for the saw. Would have been nice for dw to have given it to me

I have been using it for about 8 months now and it is working fabulous. I have no complaints

I was in the uk 10yrs ago and I remember being blow away how expensive everything there is. I feel for you. With prices like that it makes it hard to get into the hobby.

@@WesHamstra If it wasn't for the voltage difference it'd be cheaper to buy it from a retail store in Canada/ or the US & pay for it to be shipped to the UK, including taxes it'd still be far cheaper :) Thanks for a good review of the Dewalt

I just bought this saw a few days ago....The manual says NOT to use dado or stacked blades. That being said it is a great saw for the price $299 at the big orange box store

I think it can do 1/4" inch, no more

No, it cannot accept a dado stack

@@WesHamstra Thank you! I'm still going to get it tomorrow...on sale for $299 including the stand.

It’s great! Very accurate

Because I don’t want it

I believe the Cdn ones are also made in China, like most pier tools🥴

I would saw no. You could try

yes it does

Thanks!

I hear the prices of tools are double in AU

I think you will like it. I enjoy useing it.

Good tip. I was just talking to a guy about the possibilities of that. He told me a story how a piece of wood kicked back on him and went through the grill of his truck.

It’s a good little saw. I use it every day on the job ( I am a hardwood floor installer). The only thing a found is if the blade gets dull there is some blade deflection. That’s mainly because the blades I use are a thin kerf

@@WesHamstra sweet, Thanks for the vid mate!

$349 at Home Depot

No

@WesHamstra Cheers for that Wes 👍. Watched a few reviews and I think will buy one still .

yes, its been great!

120

Same in the UK. And it's hard to find it much cheaper than £500.
