Dewalt 15 Amp Corded 8
I spent some time online researching what others thought about the DeWalt DWE7485. There were quite a few positive opinions expressed in places like the Reddit community threads. DeWalt also offers one year of free service on the product, but you will have to pay for shipping if that is needed.
And at these current levels on the 14AWG wire, the wire would be significantly warm and in some cases potentially hot. I have both the Delta and the SawStop, cut a piece of 1.5″ x 4″ Mahogany today to test and read 12.2 on the Delta and 12.9 on the SS. In my mind, the most important design feature of a table saw is that everything must lock down tight so you can get a good repeatable cut.

But the Sawstop is simply a superior machine, which is why it’s about $800 more than a lot of these saws. I’ve used a number of table saws over the years, all old style full sized saws, that were owned by employers usually, but never operated a small saw like the ones you are testing. I recently purchased an older poorly maintained brick building from around 1900 which I am planning to fix and build an apartment in for myself, nothing fancy. Also, you answered a guys question, who was new to woodworking, saying these are job site saws and not for woodworking, and to get a contractor saw. I am looking to use one for furniture, cabinets, shelving, etc., and want to be sure I make right choice as this will be my first table saw. Budget is not my BIGGEST concern versus getting what is best for what I want to do.
