This saw will cut 4x4s I use this saw every day.
you can tell e please a code for riving knife?i bouth a second hand one doesn’t have riving knife
Thank you!!
I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESION, THAT WHEN YOU ARE CROSS CUTE, YOU CAN’T USE THE FENSE AT THE SAME TIME ??? THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO…😀
Still $299 At HD. Please don’t use the miter gage with a piece against the fence. It is an accident waiting to happen.
Excellent video–I just bought one of these to replace an old Delta portable saw that was old and in need of replacement. Thank you. New sub!
Pepsi Safe
50 cents too cheep lol
Great saw??? Try aligning the riving knife, garbage.
6 horsepower vaccum dust collector… really??
Good review, Brother.
Best explanation 👍👍👍👍👍
At $800 Australian ($1AU=$.7US) we are paying +$500US for this unit while you are paying $300-$399 (going by comments). As a result it is considered to be (here) at the top end of the DIY or job site line up over here with models such as Makita priced well below it. Regardless this is the one I purchased after watching many reviews like this. It did not disappoint. Mine came with a stand free but that stand lasted a week before I built a flip top bench and chucked it away. Low and unsteady it was dangerous. I’m very happy with this saw, it is accurate and a joy to use. Coupled with the Dewalt Airlock Y splitter hoses (another $149 spent) it barely leaves any mess after use.
Excellent pros and cons
I just got the dcs7485 8 1/4 inch with the dw7440rs stand 😎
Just bought one,
Lovely little table saw.
The throat fence isn’t as stable as I’d liked and there’s no lock on the rise and fall but the guide fence parallel adjustment and locking system is excellent.
So overall a well thought out
Versatile saw.
Nice review! However, your demonstration on sawdust emitting was downplayed by your ‘handling’ of cut stock.
Got the same table saw and the rolling stand for $359 total! 😂 Man I got a deal 😁
I loved mine. Until I bought a $100 dado stack to find out that the 7485 can’t take a dado stack. GRRRRR!
Can you change the shaft to accommodate dado blades?
"You have no reason not to use the push stick"
You just said that.Way to go.
Just bought it online from Home Depot when they had a special buy on it for 329$ with the stand or without the stand for the same price. Obviously got the one with the stand, and next day delivery for free. The special buys online at Home Depot go on a rotating cycle, just be patient and get a great deal.
softstart no
Since you changed the blade should you change the riving knife?
These are £580 in the UK with is $804 that’s ridiculous it’s the exact same saw
Appreciate the quick runthrough; just picked the 7480 and everything is pretty much the same One weird thing I encountered w it – and maybe I’m just a moron that doesn’t know how to seat the saw on the stand, but I ordered separately the Dewalt rolling stand and the mounting holes to the rails aren’t far enough apart to catch the front and rear slots! wth? It’s a dewalt stand for a dewalt saw??? So before I even used it, I had to fashion some sort of base that etended the reach to the slots. I settled on a tx4 of some hardwood – walnut? – made the hole measurements, then bolted the saw to the wood strips. Once the strips were in place, I bolted the saw to the metal arms and it’s as sturdy as a brick outhouse. One final thing about that rolling stand – and I apologize for focusing more on the stand than the saw, but although the stand is a great height for me, tilting the stand to vertical to roll and store w the saw attached feels sketchy as heck w those the aluminum legs and the snap lock system they use because you have to tilt it back on two legs as basically a fulcrum. it’s doable, but I think over time this is going to start some slop in the legs, which will be serious a problem. Not sure Dewalt thought this through very well, but overall, for my use it’s the most important tool in the shop…well, maybe tied w the router! Thanks so much for the tutorial brother, I’m ready to rip, no pun intended!
That crap machine is expensive!
Why do peoplel use the fence for crosscuts?
Thanks for the review and comments
Just bought the saw and that was extremely helpful
Just picked one of at my local Rona store. Love it. The cut is very clean even with the come with 24T blade, and plenty of power.
hey, thanks for the video. If you do a cross cut, what is the maximum width the board can be?
Just got mine today for $299 at Home Depot, priced matched from Lowe’s. My local Lowe’s didn’t have it in stock. My current zipcode 95677 showed it for $399 but my hometown zipcode 93906 showed it for $299, I’m in NorCal. Instead of getting it delivered from Lowe’s, I hit up HD just to see if they would price match it and after a lot of scepticism I got it dropped to the $299. They wanted to argue about the difference in locations but I called BS and they eventually gave in.
Dude! Excellent comprehensive view! Subbed
Best price in UK now is £400.
I have a small job now that requires a table saw. Just discovered that this saw is on sale at HD for $300. I’m sold on Diablo blades…they last me years. Nice review.
12:08 "I don’t use the plastic piece overhead because I frankly don’t have any use for it." Translated = I don’t value having fingers.
As usual the same story for us in the UK. This saw at the moment costs between £450 and £500 over here, that`s between $600 to $670. Would anyone in the U.S. still buy it at that price? I truly wonder about that.
Good info but is he saying SAWL?
$299 at my Lowes right now. Worth buying? Other comparable options?
I have enjoyed watching this tutorial and learning something new before buying my own table saw. Thanks, bro for the demo.
I was waiting for the negatives, but only got mostly positives, so my wife did a great Job on this Christmas gift. Thanks for the video.
good god I hope noone does it like this idiot and runs his hand so close to a non protected blade, DO NOT DO THAT, EVER
My wife surprised me with this very table saw today for Christmas… I am very pleased🤘🏻
11:18 please dont cut things that are wider than they are long. A square maximum. it can rotate and fly backwards with extremly high speed. And never use 2 fences. More about "Kickback " here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8f8VWwtaudU&ab_channel=StumpyNubs
Well… Amazon delivered my new saw & Diablo blade today! I’d like to brag that the saw was perfectly aligned right out of box, but no such luck!
1) Saw blade found to be parallel to miter slots and perpendicular to front and back table edges (thankfully)
2) Removal and replacement of riving blade found to be easy / straightforward (Thanks DeWalt). Removed it while making alignment tweaks
3) Table insert NOT level with table top… all four screws had to be adjusted to achieve planarity
4) Saw blade NOT 90 deg to table top, and found that adjustment of stop to be a bit tricky… but finally tweaked it in OK
5) Fence in both position 1 and 2 was NOT parallel with saw blade (nor perpendicular to table edges). Was able to tweak alignment per manual directions
6) Removal / replacement of saw blade using supplied wrenches proved easy / straightforward
7) Sample cut of short 1×6 board showed cut to be square in both directions… Viola!
Think I’m really going to enjoy using this saw. Your review helped me gain confidence in the purchase, so thanks again!
Table saw newbie here, and this video gave me the confidence to take my new Dewalt out the box and crank it up! Thanks for the guidance.
How about using an 8" Freud thin kerf combination blade in it? doable or crazy dangerous?
A pretty good rundown on the saw. As mentioned below, using the fence AND the miter gauge together is a major no-no. Some other things, I believe the miter gauge slot on the table is the standard width and depth. While the miter gauge seems like an after thought, replacing it would be easy enough. I also believe this saw uses the same 15 amp motor as the 10" saw, which is a very good thing since the DeWalt motor has been one of it’s strong suits. Makita is oddly way behind DeWalt in the jobsite table-saw category. After all these years, that one is a real head-scratcher. There isn’t a great selection out there for 8 1/4" thin kerf ATB blades, but there are some. In short, this is an even more affordable and compact version of DeWalt’s excellent jobsite table saws, that can still do a sheet of plywood in a pinch with it’s 24.5 inch capacity. personally speaking, I use a track saw for sheet goods, rather than a small table saw…easier, safer and more accurate.
What model number stand is that one?
Great review. What is the size of the miter slot? 5/8 or 3/4?
Semper Fi, thanks for the review I just picked this up through work award points. Can’t wait to use it.
