Dewalt Dwe7491rs Table Saw Review
To ensure that our runout measurements were accurate, TBB used a Freud calibration plate. Freud manufactures this ground stainless steel plate to a tolerance of ± .0005 inches in flatness across the plate. In the commercial construction business, we typically buy a job site saw for each project and use it up during the course of an 18-month job.
I could not find one online, called Metabo, who referred me to the retailer, who in turn referred me back to the manufacturer. It has not been used yet, but I plan to return it because of that. Ridgid is correctly ranked last, dewalt tools bot for more reasons that is stated in this article. The motor in my Ridgid table saw burned up in less than a year, even though I “babied” the saw. The Home Depot refused to honor the Ridgid Lifetime Service Agreement.
I bought one as my first big power tool purchase about 5 years ago. It’s been fantastic, and the biggest thing about it for me had been the ease of keeping the fence parallel to the blade. It was square out of the box and it has remained so since. Only complaint was when I turned it on the first time the blade nicked the metal on the side of the throat plate causing one of the teeth to come flying off of the blade. Out of the box, anti-kickback pawls on my saw weren’t (aren’t) perfectly parallel with the blade.
Even the best miter saws are limited to the reach provided by their arm, while a circular saw will drift off the line without a guide. The DeWalt DWE7485 Jobsite table saw uses a smaller dewalt Hand tools 8.5-inch blade. A 24.5-inch rip capacity will let you break down four by eight plywood sheets. There are clear markings and easy to use controls, providing micro-adjustability.
In that case, saw accuracy is critical for that work. In this use case, if the saw is immediately put into use, success depends upon the out-of-the-box accuracy from the manufacturer. The quality of the cuts and more importantly the potential safety of the operator is going to be a function of the as-shipped accuracy of the saw from the manufacturer.
