DEWALT Table Saw for Jobsite, Compact, 8-1/4-Inch (DWE7485)

After retiring, I decided to revisit my passion for woodworking and DIY projects. Purchasing the DEWALT 10-Inch Table Saw has proven invaluable not only for my hobby but also in my role as a caregiver for my elderly father. I initially bought it intending to create smaller woodworking projects, but quickly realized how useful it could be for making our home more accessible for Dad. The saw itself is excellent—powerful, precise, and sturdy. With its solid rolling stand and precise rack-and-pinion fence, I felt confident and safe as a hobbyist woodworker. I managed to construct a wheelchair ramp for our front porch and even modified furniture to accommodate Dad’s limited mobility. The ease of setup and operation allowed me to complete these projects efficiently and accurately, significantly enhancing our living environment. Beyond just the practical benefits, the DEWALT table saw has provided personal satisfaction and enjoyment. Engaging in these DIY projects not only improved my father’s quality of life but also gave me a fulfilling and productive outlet during retirement. This saw has been worth every penny, enhancing my caregiving experience and reigniting my enthusiasm for woodworking.

Excelente sierra, la verdad es lo que esperaba, solida, de buen tamaño (comparada a la DW745), muy buena precisión (una vez que la ajustas), velocidad, etc. en general muy versátil. Pros: - Base solida: no se mueve ni vibra cuando cortas un pliego grande de triplay, las ruedas no quedan tocando el piso lo que evita que se mueva en caso de que tengas mas peso de un lado de la sierra que del otro. - Superficie amplia - Barrera exacta y versátil (diferentes posiciones y funciones) - Sistema de seguridad de encendido (no vuelve a encender en caso de que se vaya la energía) - Fácil y de solida movilidad - No ocupa mucho espacio en su posición vertical - Fácil intercambio de las cuchillas divisorias - Acepta cuchillas tipo 'dado' Cons: - Alineación: recién armada, prácticamente todo venia desalineado a las guías de la mesa, desde la cuchilla, la barrera (en sus diferentes posiciones: izq., der.-corto y der.-largo), el angulo, la cinta para medir la barrera y la del angulo. Una vez alineado todo se queda en su lugar, pero si le tienes que invertir un buen tiempo en dejar todo alineado. - La guía para cortes transversales hace juego con la guía de la mesa de 1mm aprox., esto se arregla fácilmente con cinta azul de pintor y los cortes los hace precisos. - Precio alto - Pesada (~50Kg)

La sierra es sin duda muy confiable y capaz. Excelente compra

Bought this table saw in 2021, still going strong zero issues.

Having bought myself a fixer upper of a house, and also wanting to get back into some basic cabinet\furniture making I decided that I needed to buy a table saw. I don't have the room for a full size cabinet saw (or the budget) and I wanted something that I could fold up and store easily out of the way in my basement as well as pull up my basement stairs out into the yard. After doing a lot of research I settled on this saw, and I'm really glad I did. It's clearly been engineered my people have used saws before and have put some thought into it. From the location of the push stick storage, which is easy to grab when needed, to the fence mechanism, as well as the easy set up and fine tuning instructions it comes with. Construction wise, its very well built but also light enough that one person can easily manoeuvre it around. The stand is sturdy and easily folds up when not in use. There os no flex in the fence when locked in place, and the table is more than sold as well. The dust collection is adequate, however as I mention below the extra dust port on the blade guard assembly requires a different size hose so I don't use that one. If you did use the guard port, it would probably be near 100% collection. With a shop vac hooked up it collects over 95% of the dust, with no fine dust getting into the air at all. Very nice for indoor use. After about 6 months of regular use I've really only come up with a couple faults, which in themselves are definitely not enough to make me not want to buy this saw again. my only complaints are follows: 1) I wish the saw included a hose to go between the guard dust collection port, and the main under table one 2) I wish dewalt sold a table extension for it. As much as I love the fence mechanism, it makes it tricky to build your own table for it. So if they made one it's be awesome. This isn't a huge issue, as there are other ways around it
