Fantastic review. As a floor guy myself, I got all the info I needed about this saw. You even run few hardwood boards, which I liked.
It's so hard to find a none bs table saw review and someone who doesn't bang on about rubbish.
This was so helpful and very useful 👍🏻
I now have one coming tomorrow .
Great review, rarely do you see a solid 5 star review on Amazon...Great subject matter. Getting into a speaker baffle build and assessment, this review this is awesome!! ... thanks Wes.
Great review, I just ordered this saw due to a great deal on Amazon Prime day. Looking forward to using it. I have never owned a DeWalt table saw, but they have a great reputation. I have the Ridgid table saw with the folding legs which I really like, but sometimes I don't want to roll out that big saw. I think that DeWalt may have been forced to change their power switch due to OSHA regulations, just like they had to change to stance on the "feet" to make it more stable. Can't wait for the price of wood to get to an affordable place so I can start working on some new projects. Thanks again.
Good review, thanks! You covered the areas of concern for me with a saw this cheap. Since I have good experience with DeWalt, I feel safe buying this saw.
Great review Wes & good luck with the new saw!
Great review and this has convinced me that buying this saw is a good idea. A very thorough and detailed review!
You won’t regret. In my own opinion, it’s the best portable tablesaw money can buy.
Thanks for the review. I just pickup the DeWalt DWE7485, I look forward to your other reviews
Great review! I just bought the same saw and have been very pleased with it so far.
Thank you - I'm thinking about buying this table saw, so it is really helpful to watch your review :)
Thanks for the cool review. I'm trying to decide what saw to get and you did a great job reviewing this one.
-your newest subscriber 👍🏾
Awesome review, I appreciate you used real wood such as 2 inches Ash and Maple! :) Tired of seeing reviews of people slicing thorough cheap soft 2x4s and plywood.
Hi Wes, good review - very informative and helpful. Thanks for taking the time and effort to make and upload!! Question - is there the facility of being able to lock down the blade height adjustment? I don't mean the bevel angle, I mean the height adjustment. And is there a way of locking the fence in position after moving? Keep up great videos!!
I own a woodworking buissness and initally bought this saw when my other died as it had great reviews and I needed a table saw asap at the time. Personally I think the on/off buttons are perfect , the button to turn it on is a good size and better yet the tun off button is super easy to click when you reaching down and cant see. The only thing i don't like about the saw, is that the actual table on the top is quite small, even compared to the old 10" model its quite a difference
Great review. I just got one yesterday after a couple of weeks doing research as to what to get. Used it today to make a base for it and I think it's great. You are right about the on and off button but I guess will have to deal with it. But overall it is a great little saw.
yeah. after using this saw for awhile now i have gotten used to the switch. I really like how portable this saw is.
Thanks for such a great review. This was really helpful.
Recently bought one and delighted with it
Great review! I borrowed a DW745 yesterday and was so impressed with the rack and pinion fence adjustment I decided that this DeWalt is the table saw for me. Went to order one then find it has been superceded by the DWE7485. You told me everything I wanted to know in under 10 mins without any unnecessary waffling so I shall be ordering one of these. Cheers dude. £480 in the UK though🙄
Similarly price in Australia; A$800 cheapest I can find.
Please use the top guard, it protects your fingers and you wont get showered with sawdust.
Just about to buy one . Found one for £445 😊. Brand new at Lawson h.i.s 😊
DW7491 is out of stock everywhere.
@user-ww2lc1yo9c Not in England. Try Lawson H.I.S
Good review Wes! I bought one of these last month and have been really impressed with the quality and accuracy. Excellent features as you have mentioned in your review. No regrets at all with this saw - its a real workhorse.
Good to hear! I have used it on one hardwood job so far and it performed great!
Ffftttf
Owned for a week , great saw for the money, no complaints $250 cheaper than the 10 " model they offer
Great review and great clamp rack on the right 👍
Close to $800 in Australia this was still a good buy and well worth it. No regret, I simply love the ease of setup and accuracy not to mention the small form. No adjustments were needed. Add $149 for the dual Airlock system and it gathers up the dust very well from top and bottom simultaneously. I have yet to try the 60T blade I bought for it because the standard blade cuts just fine with minimal chipping.
Thanks for the 'Aussie' input!
Why $800???? That's what the did to you after they got yer guns????? I'm NEVER giving mine up!!!!
DeWalt have to drop in a 240V motor for us blokes. Adds to the price but still hurts.
Great review Wes, thanks from Holland.
No problem! Both my parents were born in Holland.
Thanks for help 😎 definitely order now . Thanks
Thanks for your review. I am going to wait until Christmas sales and get one with the wheels . My 30 year old Delta motor is finally burning out. :-)
Perfect review. its cuts 2 inch hardwood, im getting it !
I have a 7492 and when you switched on your saw I just thought „yeah, it is a Dewalt“ just because of the sound it makes 😂 Interesting remote hole drilling tool hanging over your door :)🙋🏻♀️Anna
Hahaha. Never heard that one. It’s just a pellet gun.
Very useful review, thank you!
As someone from the UK, I find the rifle above the door very cool
Thanks. It’s just an air rifle. I am not allowed to have a real gun. Here in Canada you need a license to own a firearm.
Good review, very thorough.
Thanks!
Perfect, as I was looking at at 745 (used) and one of these (new).
Just a few days back I bought a table saw DWE7492😊😍
Hi .I have the DW 745 site saw and the cutting capacity width is 24 inch’s not 16 ? .The 745 is identical to the one you r reviewing albeit starter button safety cut out which I find awkward when trying to stop the saw mid cut sometimes .L shaped cuts .The review on this saws vacuum riving knife anti kickback was not available on my uk version but all all things equal still a great saw for the hobbyist /diy enthusiast or on-site woodworkers . Thanks
Nice review Wes! Thank you for sharing the video with us!💖👍👌😎JP
Thanks!
Your very welcome Wes! Have a great Sunday!😎
This is by far the best review that I've seen on this table saw one question what is that deck made of it looks like plastic like Motomaster
Thanks! It is aluminum. Very durable.
@@WesHamstra Glad to hear this I went to the local CT store and when I cranked their brand to 45 the table bowed and it was aluminum as well, didn't buy it real crap ended up with Ridgid
Very good saw with a few minor issues, that can even be solved with aftermarket products.
However in this price range, the key here is that fence, nothing is better. Even on more expensive saws I've yet to see such a great fence.
That’s very true. I have noticed that Milwaukee’s job site saw has a shockingly similar fence to the dewalt. Almost identical. Makes me wonder if they both come from the same factory and paint one red and the other yellow
@@WesHamstra Yeah the Bosch GTS 10 XC on paper seems more refined, until you start looking at RUclips reviews from people that own that saw and there are some glaring quality issues.
Soft start is nice, solvable with a cheap soft start mod sold on Amazon for the Dewalt.
The gimmick of a mitre gauge that comes with the Dewalt can be upgraded using a product sold from Banggood which fits the track and has stops for common angles.
Another thing is dust collection, the Dewalt is seriously much better than the Bosch in this regard.
For all the talk about not being able to fit a router table to the Dewalt, there are people on RUclips who've done just this or build custom extensions and workbenches that support the rack n pinion fence. Slightly more complicated but at the end of the day if you can work with wood should be no problem.
Let's also not forget the quick release for blade guard or riving knife. That's so much better than having to open up the saw each time you want to swap them out.
I just have a generally good feeling from the Dewalt, sure it's not a Sawstop or a Festool, but in the price range, it's not easy to beat.
I appreciate your review
great job! i've been eyeing this and the 10 inch but im just beginner and cant really spend $700 right off. There is no chance it could take dado blades,isi there?
very very nice and clear review, like it alot👍👍
The price you pay is really good. Here in Denmark this saw costs around 800 USD
If you cross Öresund you can find it for 600 USD in Sweden 😀
This or the DW7491RS? Besides the blade height, is there really much of a difference between the two?
Bought 1 today. No complaints. This review reminds me of an infomercial from Rick and Morty universal cable TV whatever it's called. This is good.
PLUMBUS!!
Thanks very much for the video! Going to get one now...new sub! thanks again!
Is the riving knife exchange mechanism the same as the DWE7492? Thanks.
Thank you for the information. I recently purchased this saw and have never had a table saw before. After going through the instructions, I see that you didn't add the anti-kickback piece and left the riving knife on. I also noticed you didn't add the blade guard assembly, which is a must have for me. My question is why did you leave the riving knife on and not add the anti-kickback piece and what is the purpose of the riving knife? I obviously have a lot to learn as there are many terms in the manual that don't mean a thing to me, however, hopefully over time and use I will learn. Thank you in advance.
I'm not exactly a pro although I have been using a 3 phase saw for many many hours. The riving knife is to help prevent kickback by helping keep the material perpendicular to the fence. If the riving knife was not there and you accidentally twist the material as you push it past the blade it could jam between the fence and the blade and then there is only one way out... i.e launching it out the front of the saw like a missile. It's no joke if this happens, people often loose a finger of two in this situation or break a rib, or worse. It's well worth learning how to use a table saw properly, there are many bad demos on YT of people doing very risky stuff (like cross cutting against the fence or pulling the material back towards you after the cut is made)
However, if you respect it and know what you're doing, there is no need to be scared of it, just as the guy that made this video demonstrated very well.
@@wongowonga Thank you! I appreciate your response.
Hi Rock, when you rip cut (cut solid wood along the grain) one of three things can happen: 1) The kerf (the gap cut by the saw blade) can open up. 2) The kerf can stay the same if the wood stays straight. 3) The kerf can close up behind the saw blade causing it to bind or pinch the blade. If it pinches the blade, the wood will "kickback" (be thrown back) towards the machinist - YOU! This can cause injury to the operator and damage the work. The riving knife keeps the kerf from closing up behind the saw blade. In Great Briton, if you remove the riving knife and have an accident, you will be fired, and be prosecuted as it's illegal. The only time I remove the riving knife is to create grooves - no kickback!
just bought one in ireland..bloody fantastic machine ..its soo much better than the evoultion rage 5s which is a bit ok..but a bit crap too...i just cut a 0.5 mm thick veneer as a test..its totaly ace
Good to hear. You will enjoy it!
Man I busted out laughing when you dropped the S bomb after all the nice things you had to say in such a soft spoken voice. Caught me totally off guard. 😂
I heard this is one of the only "portable" saw units that can use a Dado Set. I'm seriously thinking of buying this.
NO PUEDE USAR UN JUEGO DE DADO :(
Nice review! Thanks! Am I right that the DWE 7492 is the same saw just bigger?
That’s correct. This saw is the baby brother.
I just got mine. On the right hand side there is a piece of plastic attached to the frame. Any idea what it is for?
What are the dimensions of the DWE7485? the max width, depth, and the height of the table top?
£500 in the UK.....damn. Great review man!
Hi, can you use dado stack on that table saw?
6:34
into the video is the best part 😁"I mean you just never know, It could be a piece of shit", hahahaha 😂 Thanks for the review!!
Thanks! Sometimes I can be funny.
DeWalt is always developing or improving something. Congrats on your purchase. Not keen on how tall the fence is. Like most manufactures they like them taller for some reason. The fence I built is only 44mm (about 1 3/4") tall and I love it.
Never have much thought about the height. Now that you mentioned it. It’s a lot higher then the fence on my cabinet saw.
Can it do Dado blades? If not do you know which DeWalts that do?
I love mine it does the job i dont like the switch but other than am fine with it
Great review! Thank you. Can this saw be stored standing on its side?
Yes it can. That’s how I store it
@@WesHamstra thank you!!
Canada sure sounds nice.
I am a new De Walt Saw owner. I have never learned how to use the plastic attachment that goes on the blade? Can you help.
0:47 - 8.25" blades are harder to find than 10" blades. While the smaller blades may be cheaper than a larger blade in the same range of the same brand, only a handful of higher-end companies even offer the 8.25.
Hmm. I haven’t had a problem yet finding blades.
I just bought one yesterday. But it was the only model the store carried (40-tooth Diablo), and it was $30. They had a much wider selection of 10s, some as cheap as $10.
Can you use a 7.25" blade with no problems
Just bought mine😎
Thank you for a great review! My question is, are you still satisfied with
your DWE7485?
Yes I am. I will have a follow up video on it
Hi, I have a few questions. I need advice. I am considering the purchase of Dewalt DW733 (power 1800W) and DWE7485 (power 1850W). I have a Fieldmann 4020Bi generator available (max power 2000W, constant power 1600W). Will it be up and running and work with that generator? Nothing from Dewalt has a softstart. Thank you very much
I have no idea. Dewalt does make a cordless version of this saw. you may want to look into that one.
Any opinions on a 8.5” vs getting a 10”? Do you find yourself glad you got the 10” or annoyed you didn’t? Thanks for the help.
I have both. I don't have any complaints with the smaller saw. Thought at first that I would have an issue with the smaller blade, but nope. This review is spot on.
Thank you for the nice review :) Do you know any blades with more teeth suitable for dwe 7485? Cheers!
I check Amazon and there are a few 60 tooth blades
You can also fit a 7-1/4” blade if you can’t find what you need in a 8-1/4”
It also says this is a 8 1/2” saw. Will this accept the Diablo 8 1/2” 60 tooth blade?
$329 Canadian was a great price. Now it's $499 CAD. Granted, that's regular price, but I haven't seen it come on sale for months now.
Good review ,bought this saw dont use alot but very comfortable using it
Never seen an indent on a miter guide. If it had an indent for 90 degrees, if you wanted 89.5 degrees it might be difficult to avoid the 90 degree indent.
My Chinese bought version (all metal) has adjustable rail guide width so I have it snug but easy to move along the slots. The on button needs to be small to meet OH&S rules. Similarly the off button needs to be BIG.
Thanks!
No, Thank You
i have this model. How do you prevent the fence from sliding? Is there a "brake" that holds the fece in place?
Under the table there is a lever. If you flick that down it locks the fence.
@@WesHamstra found it - TY!
Like he said the 7485 has great power for a smaller saw....great bang for the buck....
Can I use this saw to build furniture? Is it accurate enough for such kind of job? Unfortunately I can't pay more. Dewalt DWE 7492 is my maximum.
Yep. You can easily build furniture with this.
Boy i wished this review came out before I bought mine
You want to return it now?
@@WesHamstra ill just trade it with yours
Where is the saw made?
I laughed so hard at 6:32! “Never know, this thing could be a piece of shit!” Haha Great review!
Thanks man!
i want to know how good it is after a few years. nearly everything works good the day it's taken out of the box.
I have been using it for about 8 months now and it is working fabulous. I have no complaints
$329 Canadian = c £195gbp. Cheapest in the UK for this saw is £430 = $740 Canadian. We do get stiffed on prices for some tools over here :)
I was in the uk 10yrs ago and I remember being blow away how expensive everything there is. I feel for you. With prices like that it makes it hard to get into the hobby.
@@WesHamstra If it wasn't for the voltage difference it'd be cheaper to buy it from a retail store in Canada/ or the US & pay for it to be shipped to the UK, including taxes it'd still be far cheaper :) Thanks for a good review of the Dewalt
I know that it's for a job site saw but can it accept a dado stack? do they even make 8 1/4 inch stack?
No, it cannot accept a dado stack
@@WesHamstra Thank you! I'm still going to get it tomorrow...on sale for $299 including the stand.
Awesome coverage! DW should reimburse you for the purchase I’m about to make & others like me. I mean isn’t that the point of helping another person out?
Thanks. The ad revenue I made on this video has paid for the saw. Would have been nice for dw to have given it to me
Can you use dado blades with this saw. If so up to what size dado cut
I just bought this saw a few days ago....The manual says NOT to use dado or stacked blades. That being said it is a great saw for the price $299 at the big orange box store
I think it can do 1/4" inch, no more
“But you never know, it could be a piece of shit” gold!
Favorite line in the whole video: "I think it will do just fine... but you never know... it could be a piece of shit!" :)
Why did you take off the blade guard?
Because I don’t want it
How accurate is the fence in your experience?
It’s great! Very accurate
Right, so this saw is HALF PRICE compared to its sale price in Australia
I hear the prices of tools are double in AU
I am looking to buy this saw $899 here in Australia and it's made in China , May I ask where your saw is made ?
I believe the Cdn ones are also made in China, like most pier tools🥴
Is this saw dado compatible?
I would saw no. You could try
Just bought one hope is better then my last one evolution rage5 pice of s....
I think you will like it. I enjoy useing it.
I wish I could get one of those for 300 and something dollars, they're double that here
$349 at Home Depot
Does it have a handle to carry it?
yes it does
Careful, thats a bad habit using the push stick to knock away the cut off piece. Its rare but I've seen that piece angle back into the front of the blade and catch a tooth and send it flying across the room like a shuriken!
Good tip. I was just talking to a guy about the possibilities of that. He told me a story how a piece of wood kicked back on him and went through the grill of his truck.
Thumbs up for the “who knows it could be a piece of shit.” Amen my brother.
Thanks!
3yrs on, how you liking it?
It’s a good little saw. I use it every day on the job ( I am a hardwood floor installer). The only thing a found is if the blade gets dull there is some blade deflection. That’s mainly because the blades I use are a thin kerf
@@WesHamstra sweet, Thanks for the vid mate!
The German version is slightly different in design. For example, there is no kickback knife.
Same in the UK. And it's hard to find it much cheaper than £500.
Will it take a dado blade?
No
@WesHamstra Cheers for that Wes 👍. Watched a few reviews and I think will buy one still .
Do you still like this saw?
yes, its been great!
"But you never know, it could be a piece of $h!+." Now that's how you know the review is honest. LOL.
120v or 240v?
120
