DEWALT15 Amp 8-1/4 in. Compact Portable Jobsite Table Saw (DWE7485)

This is easily the best table saw I’ve ever owned. Powerful, compact, and built like a tank — DEWALT absolutely nailed it with this one.The 15-amp motor cuts through hardwood like butter, and the compact size makes it perfect for job sites or small shops. The rack and pinion fence adjustment is buttery smooth and incredibly accurate, which is rare at this price point.I’ve been using it nonstop and never once thought about needing to return it — the return window closed weeks ago, but this saw isn’t going anywhere.If you need a reliable, portable table saw with serious performance, this is the one to get. Best ever, no question.

It's a great DIY table saw. Quick high-precision cuts using the rack and pinion fence. Relatively lightweight and portable. Quality build. I built a simple wheeled table to set it on. The 8 1/4" blade will cut a depth of 2 5/8". In my work, I seldom cut anything more than 1 1/2" deep, so it works well for me and lowers the cost of the same basic DeWalt with a 10" blade. On rare occasions, I cut 3 1/2" deep, cutting twice. Well-designed.

The DeWalt DWE7485 table saw is an outstanding tool that has exceeded my expectations. With its 8 1/4 inch blade and 15 amp motor, it offers impressive cutting power and accuracy. The build quality is exceptional, with a sturdy and durable design that ensures long-lasting performance.One of the standout features of this table saw is its portability. It is lightweight and compact, making it easy to transport and store. Despite its smaller size, it doesn't compromise on performance or functionality. The rip capacity is excellent, allowing me to handle a wide range of materials and cuts.The DWE7485 is also equipped with a smooth and precise fence system that ensures accurate and consistent cuts. The adjustable bevel and depth settings provide versatility in cutting angles and depths, allowing me to tackle various projects with ease.Overall, the DeWalt DWE7485 table saw is a top-notch tool that delivers exceptional performance and versatility. Whether you are a professional woodworker or a DIY enthusiast, this table saw is a worthy investment that will get the job done efficiently and accurately.

I absolutely love this saw. I bought it because we really lack any space for any more tools. Our shed is already packed as it is, and even though my wife is always approving of most tool purchases (she is a contractor herself, and understands the value of good tools), she wasn't about to let me shove a big 'ol wheeled table saw in there without having to get rid of something else. So when I saw this smaller version of Dewalt's dependable table saw line, it was a compromise I'd been waiting for.My favorite thing about this saw is the fence. It appears to be identical to the fence they use on their 10" models. It is super easy to set up, and the index pins they use helps ensure your fence is truly parallel to the blade. The adjustment dial is quick and easy, and the measurement guide is pretty accurate. It is one of the best fences I've seen on a portable saw.The way the whole thing packs up into a compact footprint is another feature I like, and it barely takes up any more room than any of my wife's tools. You can pretty much pack up the whole saw at the end of the day in about 2 minutes.Despite it's size, you can still rip a 4x8 sheet fairly easily, assuming it isn't super heavy (like melamine). But for most types of plywood and other sheet goods, this thing's got you covered.I would highly recommend that you always use a vacuum attached to the saw when doing any sizable cuts. I pretty much always use the vacuum when I run this saw, for it really doesn't eject the sawdust on it's own out of the rear port very well. It's got a standard 2" port on the back that fit's most larger wet/dry vacs.Changing the blade and riving knives is also super quick and easy.If you don't need a super powerful saw, and need something versatile and portable, this is an excellent choice. If you're cutting a lot of hardwoods and thicker materials, or if you need to use a dado blade, you'll want to consider their larger 10" version.

Mobile accessibility excellent, cuts neatly and made of great material

I have been eyeing this saw for some time. I have a full sized Bosch 10 inch saw with stand that is 20 years old but works really well. Problem is that it’s too heavy to lug around on job sites on a regular basis. I thought this little guy would be perfect for that. First day today and I put it to a lot of tests ripping down 2 1/4 oak boards to 1.5 inches for floor board repairs.Power was excellent, not super light, but much lighter than my Bosch, and well designed with a nice metal handle so you can carry with one hand and walk down halls and up stairs. I also love the heavy duty rubber feet so I can leave it in the floor and not worry about it moving around while cutting. On off switch is nice and safe. My only real issue is with the fence….I has to be clipped in place on both sides and it’s not super easy to keep it straight, or worse, to scoot it over a 1/8 inch to make a smaller or bigger cut. When you unclip it’s all loose and you need to spend time getting it just right. Not a good design. The Bosch is far superior. It catches in back and has a nice lace snapping mechanism in front that is really easy to operate and you can easily loosen it and just scoot a touch. I may try to see if I can find an after market fence to replace this one. Worst case, it’ll be fine. Just slows you down a bit if you have to do a lot of ripping of different sizes. It does snap under the saw when I’m transit which is a great feature and push stick, comes with it, snaps in there too. Overall, I’m happy. Reasonable price for sure for what you get. Even the blade that comes with it is nice

Powerful, compact, and well made table saw. Looking forward to years of projects with this thing. Spot on Dewalt quality as usual.
