Dewalt 15 Amps Corded 8
The saws/stands range from 80 lbs with the Ridgid up to 114 lbs for the Makita. Another really nice value is the Ridgid that’s currently selling for $399 including the stand. Lastly, it’s hard to ignore the $499 price tag on the DEWALT which is a great contractor grade saw dewalt Hand tools with great features, a great fence, and a really good stand. Pricing includes the cost of the stand and ranges from a low of $349 for the Hitachi to a high of $1,299 for the SawStop. The lowest price isn’t always the best in our opinion, we’re looking for the best value.
Using a saw blade that has any warping will not give a clear indication of blade runout. The results for the blade parallel to the miter slot are shown below. Again the SawStop had a perfect reading right out of the box and the Ridgid needs some extra calibration in order to get the blade more parallel to the miter slot.
However, the miter gauge is described, again, as being very flimsy and not particularly reliable. It’s also on the larger side, so you’ll need a little more space to work with. The arbor is the shaft that the blade is mounted to.
The main reason for buying one, is I am looking to build some SUP’s. I will be ripping 10-12′ 1/4″ strips that maybe in the 3/8″ up to 3″ range, along with re-sawing some wider planks into the 1/4″ thick, 5-6″ wide plank’s. I have been going back and forth on dewalt accessories the Dewalt dwe7491rs vs the Delta t2 vs the comparable Ridgid. the Dewalt would be nice as it packs away in a smaller space, but the delta/ridgid would also be easily moved out of the way. with the Dewalt, I would probably end up making an outfeed bench.
Reviewers of the DW745 praised how sturdy and well-built it is – it’s great for the price, as other similarly priced models can be a little flimsy. It’s lightweight, which is great if you need to move it around – and it should handle most beginner jobs. Like the others, it comes with a 10-inch 24-tooth carbide blade. The cast-iron tabletop is sturdy, enabling you to make precise cuts. The steel roll cage helps to prevent damage from impact, for example, if it is dropped – this makes it great for a Jobsite.
Remove the zero clearance inserts on both saws, and then tilt the blade back and forth. It’s immeadiately obvious that the Sawstop’s construction is far superior to the Dewalt. The Dewalt seems fine for rough work, and the Hitachi seems like a great option for the homeowner on a budget.
The safety value of the sawstop is worth the price difference. A friend’s daughter cut of half her hand in a shop accident in her highschool last year. I really enjoyed your review and appreciate the significant time and effort put into it.
Also, you can easily flip the fence over to allow you to make narrower cuts. We got to experience the 60V Dewalt table saw ripping through some 3/4-inch lumber, and the saw felt smooth. It delivers an accurate cut, but the feed speed needs to be maintained since you can overdrive it if you push too hard . We mentally compared it to theDeWalt DWE7480 job site table sawwe reviewed, but it’s actually based on the DW745 portable job site saw and it lacks the tool-free blade guard release. The real trick will be to get it into the shop and test the run-time and cutting power for ourselves. We also want to see how the DeWalt cordless table saw holds up under different types of cuts and with different stock.
