DEWALT DW745 10-Inch Compact Job-Site Table Saw with 16-Inch Max Rip Capacity Overview

A 15 Amp motor lets the DeWalt DW745 heavy-duty 10-inch compact job site table saw make quick work of everything from bevel cuts in hard woods to resizing sheet materials. Featuring a 16-inch maximum rip capacity, a patented rack and pinion fence that telescopes to deliver incredibly fast adjustments and improved accuracy, while also sliding into a compact position for transport, this saw is packed with thoughtful features that make it an easy choice. Bevel applications are easy to tackle with the ability to adjust the blade from 0 to 45 degrees, while the included 24T carbide blade provides improved cut quality and offers an extended life to save you money. Other unique design elements include a metal roll-bar base that provides durability on the job, adjustable rear feet that make it easy to steady the saw on uneven ground, a special coating on the table surface that reduces friction for smoother cutting with less effort, and a dust port that allows you to connect a 2-1/2-inch shop vac and keep your work area clean. Kit includes saw, miter gauge, push stick, carbide blade, and blade guard.

I have owned the DeWalt DW745 for over 3 years now. Before purchasing this saw I did extensive research to determine which portable table saw would be the best for me. To give you a little background I worked myself through college as a salesmen in Sears tool department and as a residential finish/trim carpenter. During the course of my carpentry work I never owned my own table saw and the subcontractor who employed me went through several different portable table saws. The saw I used most during that time was the slightly larger DeWalt DW744. The DW744 is a fantastic saw primarily because of its rack and pinion fence design. I also used a Bosch 4100, which was a great saw but doesn't have a rack and pinion fence and I do not like how bulky the saw is in storage or transportation with the attached wheel based stand. The only other saw that I used during that time was a much smaller and cheaper Skill brand table saw, which I don't even know the model of. That saw was truly a nightmare. The distinction was that it probably cost around 0 while the Bosch and DW744 where in a higher class of "contractor portables" costing around 0.

After graduating from college I quit working as a carpenter, however I was frequently being asked to do side jobs trimming so I needed my own table saw. I also make a great deal of furniture. Because I was no longer working full time as a carpenter I had a more narrow focus in finding "the best saw for me." I had three primary criteria in a saw. First I was on a budget, I was looking for a table saw that was more in the 0 to 0. Second I was also looking for a saw that was relatively light (doing side jobs I didn't want to haul around a bulky/awkward or heavy saw.) Finally the most important thing to me was finding a saw with a good fence design preferably rack and pinion. Mind you I understand that this is not what everyone else is looking for and as such you should get the saw that will fit your own criteria. My needs ruled out the DW744 as well as the Bosch 4100. They are both great saws but cost about twice as much as I wanted spend and they are just a little larger than what I was looking for. In my search this was the only saw that met every single need I had. most other portable table saws fit into the really cheap 0 to 0 range and preform much like the Skill table saw that I mentioned above. The Craftsman Professional (contractor series) seemed to be the only other saw in the size and price range that I was looking for only it lacked the rack and pinion fence. However after working as a salesmen at sears and seeing just how often Craftsman power tools were returned I decided that saw was not the design that I was looking for. The DW745 was really the exact size/cost/design that I was looking for.

The best selling point of this saw is the fence. If you haven't ever used a rack and pinion fence you need to. It is absolutely the very best design that I have used. To cut the cost a little lower, I found a DeWalt certified refurbished dealer and purchased it from them for about 30% less than the new price was. Also when I purchased mine the stand was included so it actually probably saved me closer to 40% considering that you will spend another or so for the stand. And the stand is a great design, folds up so to store very well and holds the saw perfectly. For me this wasn't really a risk because it still had a 3 year warranty and I have had no problem with it in the 3 years that I have had it. After doing many trim jobs with this saw and building a large amount of furniture with it, I can without hesitation say this was one of the best tool purchases that I have ever made. If you have similar needs to the ones that I described you won't regret purchasing this saw. If you need to make cuts larger than 16 inches and you are using the saw everyday you may want to go with the DW744 or Bosch 4100. But if you aren't and you are looking for something that is little smaller, a lot less money and still as high of quality you can't go wrong with this saw.

• Support bar hardware holes for secure fastening of saw to the stand
• Designed for use with the DW745 Compact Job Site Table Saw

DEWALT DW7450 Table Saw Stand for DW745 10-Inch Compact Job Site Table Saw Overview

The DeWalt DW7450 table saw stand delivers the best of both worlds: solid construction for a safe work environment and a compact, folding design for easy transport and storage. Featuring heavy-duty tube steel construction that can support the stress of tough saw jobs, this stand is designed for use with the DeWalt DW745 10-inch compact job site table saw. Integrated support bar hardware holes make it easy to secure the saw to the stand for confident operation.

I found the same issues with height and folding away that others did. It needs to be a quick release system of some type. Going to try the cotterless pins instead of the bolts that came with it. I can't imagine being on a site and unbolting everytime I had to move it or take it with me. The whole idea is portability. Being 6'4" I found the stand too short. Would have been nice to have it adjustable for height. Easily done with longer legs and a few holes drilled along too choose the proper height for the consumer.

DEWALT DW744X 10-Inch Job Site Table Saw with 24-1/2-Inch Max Rip Capacity Overview

Use the DEWALT DW744X table saw for professional cutting versatility on the jobsite or in your workshop. This portable table saw features an exclusive telescoping fence which delivers 24-1/2-inch rip capacity and speedy, smooth, and skillful adjustments. It’s crafted with a heavy duty, high-torque motor and an efficient dust collection port and includes an electronic feedback control and soft start for easier startup and cutting performance. Included with the DEWALT DW744X is: 10-inch, 24-tooth carbide blades; a folding table saw stand (DW7440); and a miter gauge.

I bought this saw primarily as a job site saw but it has seen some service in the workshop as well. It is ideally a two man lift not so much because of the weight but because it's awkward to man handle on your own, owing to the large table. I also purchased the additional outfeed and side supports which are great but they also add weight to the saw which have made it even heavier. As i work on my own the additional 30 inches of outfeed support has to be balanced against the extra weight.

The saw sits securely on the stand and has all the power anyone should need in a contractor saw. The rack and pinion fence is excellent and the best on the market in my opinion. I place the fence on the right hand side of the blade so the rip scale is set for me, anyone who sets the fence on the left will have to use their tape measure. The rip scale was out by a 1/16 of an inch and the fence was a 1/32 of an inch out of parallel with the blade. The mitre gauge seems as on all contractor saws to have been a bit of an after thought, there is a 1/16 of an inch of slop between the gauge bar and the gauge slots. This is not a huge issue for me as i rarely use it, when i do use the mitre gauge i push against the side of the mitre slot nearest the blade when making a cut.

There is onboard storage for spare blades and blade spanners, it's a pity Dewalt couldn't have included a cord wrap and onboard storage for the mitre gauge. There is an aluminum shield with a rubber extension which covers the bottom of the blade underneath the saw, this seemed to be holding the sawdust and overheating the motor. I removed it, it might be intended to be left in place if a shop-vac were attached to the dust port. I also removed the blade guard and the riving knife, these imo are workshop acessories.

The threaded bar that is attached to the handle that raises and lowers the blade is exposed, hence the threads get clogged with saw dust. Making it almost impossible to raise and lower the blade, i modified a piece of plastic tubing with a slightly larger diametre than the threaded bar by slitting it down the middle and slipping it over the bar. This has kept the saw dust off.

In conclusion i would'nt advise someone working jobsites on their own to buy this saw, it's just a bit too heavy and awkward. Ideally i'd leave the DW744 in the workshop and buy the DW745 which has the same size motor but with a reduced rip capacity and hence smaller table.

Just a little update on the above, the fence on my saw has a tendancy to drift towards the back of the blade which burns my stock as it clears the blade. This always seems to happen no matter how many times i re-adjust the fence. There are two 10mm bolts under the fence at the back of the table which need to be loosened to adjust the fence for parrallel. I recently went to re-adjust the fence and ended up tightening the bolts when i should have been loosening them, this sometimes happens when the bolt heads are facing down rather than up. I stripped out the threads in the bolt housings which unfortunatly are part of the cast table. I took the saw to the service centre and they gave me three options, thread locking compound, a new table, or a new saw. I choose the tread locking compound as a temporary fix, a new table will cost me 250 Euro. Expensive mistake.

DEWALT DW744XRS 10-inch Job Site Table Saw with Rolling Stand Overview

Enjoy the stability and functionality of a bench-top table saw on the jobsite with the DeWalt DW744XRS 10-Inch Compact Jobsite Table Saw with Rolling Stand. The lightest portable table saw/stand in its class, this easy-to-maneuver combo kit is ideal for general contractors, framers, remodelers, custom carpenters, cabinet installers, window and door installers, and more.

The DeWalt DW744XRS 10-Inch Compact Table Saw At a Glance: 15-Amp high-torque motor Exclusive, telescoping rack-and-pinion fence Electronic feedback and soft start Rolling stand with wheels and folding legs

Wheels, folding legs, and a rectractable handle allow for easy portability.

The generous 26-1/2 x 19-1/4-inch table surface provides superior material support.

Everything You Need in One Package
The DeWalt DW744XRS is a complete package that has a combined weight of only 90 pounds, which means it's the lightest portable table saw/stand in its class. This combo kit includes the DW744X 10-inch compact table saw and the DW7440RS saw stand, two professional-grade tools that will be the envy of any jobsite.

The DeWalt DW744XRS kit is backed by a three-year warranty and is ready to go right out of the box.

Powerful Saw is the Lightest in Its Class
Weighing just 75 pounds, the table saw is the lightest jobsite saw in its class. Yet, the DW744X table saw is equipped with a powerful, 15-amp, 2,600 MWO motor that allows the 10-inch blade to reach speeds of 3,650 RPM for cutting hardwood and pressure-treated lumber.

While you're working, the saw's electronic feedback helps maintain blade speed and torque even in tough applications, and panel perforations improve the air flow to the motor to allow for better cooling during strenuous cuts.

At the same time, soft start lets the blade come up to speed without jumping, and a heavy-duty internal motor mechanism stabilizes the arbor, keeping vibration to a minimum. Additionally, telescoping rails retract within the saw top for easy portability, and the two-inch dust collection port connects to a vacuum for efficient dust extraction, resulting in better visibility and a cleaner work area.

Exclusive, Telescoping Fence
And without sacrificing portability, the table saw includes a patented telescoping Rack & Pinion fence system that delivers 24-1/2-inch rip capacity, and which maintains blade-to-fence parallelism within 1/64 inch for fast, smooth, and accurate cuts. Also, a generously sized, 26-1/2 x 19-1/4-inch table surface provides superior material support (maximum depths of 3-1/8 inches at 90 degrees and 2-1/4 inches at 45 degrees).

One-of-a-Kind Rolling Stand for Easy Mobility
The DW7440RS saw stand is equipped with large rubber wheels and a heavy-duty kickstand that allows the unit to balance upright for easy mobility and storage. The stand is the only one of its kind to offer a wide base and offset rear legs that provide stability and support for optimum control of material feed. The stand's folding legs are designed with quick-release levers that allow you to easily tuck the legs under the stand for easy transport.

For versatility, easily detachable brackets on the stand allow for quick disconnect of the table saw for loading and unloading. The rolling stand also has a retractable soft-grip handle that slides out, which means you can comfortably pull the saw behind you with the weight of the saw near the ground.

What's in the Box
DW744X table saw; DW7440RS saw stand; 10-inch, 24-tooth carbide blades; miter gauge; push stick; and manual.

I have several DeWalt tools because of their quality. This was my latest addition because of the rack and pinion fence, mobile base and available outfeeds (DW7441) making it a great job site tool.

I do however concur with one previous rater, you MUST check the accuracy of the gauge. Though it says it's calibrated at the factory, mine was off. Minor and easily adjusted.

It's not a light saw, but the mobile base rolls great once you have the saw mounted to the base.

Highly recommend it!

Kit includes saw, miter gauge, push stick, carbide blade, and blade guard.

I needed a table saw to make some replacement kitchen drawer fronts. I didn't really want to spend a lot of money buying a saw to use only a few times - so I figured I would buy one of the many cheap 0 table saws that are available.

Unfortunately, every one of those saws was pure junk - cheap, wavy plastic tables, insufficient (and frequently broken) motor mounts, inaccurate, loose and useless measuring devices. I couldn't bring myself to waste 0 on one of those pieces of garbage.

I went back to my old standby, Dewalt. I own quite a few Dewalt power tools, and while, in my opinion, the quality of their products has slipped a bit in the last few years, they are still far better than a lot of the competitors' tools - you can be assured that it will do what you need, and won't break easily.

I ordered this saw online here at Amazon, using the free shipping (7-10 days, it said) - and to my surprise, the saw arrived at my door the next morning! Sure glad I didn't waste money paying for overnight shipping!

First off, I will admit I am not a carpenter. I'm a DIY'er who has above-average experience building and fixing things. I've built furniture, and can fix just about anything. That said, I was a little taken aback by the manual. It made quite a few references to parts of the saw using technical terms, without really describing what those parts were. It took me about half an hour to figure out how all the guards, fences and so on all fit together. I'm sure a professional contractor who is more familiar with the terms used in the manual could do it much faster.

The saw is SOLID. I mean, rock solid. The table is a very solid, flat, precise slab of aluminum. The bottom of the saw is surrounded by a tubular steel frame, and the remainder is tough yellow plastic. It's not light, at around 70 lbs, but it's certainly not impossible to heft around, and weighs far less than my compound miter saw. It has two well-placed handles right under the table top that make it easy to move around.

The guards are very good - using them correctly, it would be very tough to injure yourself. Unfortunately, for cutting larger pieces, they have to be removed entirely - which is the case for most saws. That said, for ripping boards and so on, they would remain in place and do their job admirably. Removing or installing the guards takes seconds, and does not require tools.

Everything is adjustable and all measurements can be calibrated - everything from the blade angle, rip fence, blade parallax - it's all adjustable. Fortunately, the saw came out of the box perfectly calibrated, so I didn't have to change a thing.

The saw is very loud - but then, most table saws are. I recommend using hearing protection as well as eye protection while using it.

Many people in their reviews bemoan the fact that it cannot accept dado blades. I couldn't care less, I have no need of dados, and the saw works perfectly for what I need it to do.

Overall I'm very glad I spent the extra money to buy this saw, and I expect it to last basically forever, just like most of my Dewalt tools.

DEWALT DW7450 Table Saw Stand for DW745 10-Inch Compact Job Site Table Saw Overview

The DeWalt DW7450 table saw stand delivers the best of both worlds: solid construction for a safe work environment and a compact, folding design for easy transport and storage.

Integrated support bar hardware holes make it easy to secure the saw to the stand for confident operation.

I used this stand with my saw while putting down about 700 sq ft of laminate flooring. Our house has lots of odd angles, so there were plenty of long angled rips of the flooring. The saw was rock solid on this stand, I never felt it move, tip, shake, etc. The bolts they give you to attach the saw to the stand are a bit ridiculous, I don't see most folks taking the time to fiddle with them. I used some cotterless hitch pins based on the suggestion of one of the other reviewers, but I don't feel like they really added anything. I might try longer ones or something else, but you probably don't really need anything, the weight of the saw and the design of the stand seem sufficient to keep things in place.

I'm a carpenter by trade and do everything from frame to finish. I've had experience with the Dewalt, Bosch, and Rigid portable table saws.

The dewalt I've used (dont remember the model number) had a small table and an archaic fence adjustment that required you to turn a knob that moved the fence by way of a gear on a track (hard to even explain). It was prone to the opposide side of the fence skipping a toothe and becoming misaligned. Plus it was slow to do.

The Bosch was a good saw, had a great stand, and overall was well thought out. It's only downfall is that it is bit light. I know, I know, light weight should be a plus right!? Well we all like our shop table saws because mass makes accuracy eaiser. I'm still (kinda) young so I don't mind a bit of extra weight if it means a better cut.

The Rigid saw is every bit as good as the Bosch, with a slightly larger table and consequently a bit more mass to boot. Also, at least from HD, it's cheaper too.

One thing I have not tried on the others but I know is a problem on the Rigid is, If you are making your own throat plate, the saw blade will not recess deep enough into the body. (this is hard for me to explain..) After you've cut your plate so that it fits in it's place on the saw, you want to bring the blade all the way down, turn on the saw, and let the blade cut the slot as you raise it back up... make sense? OK. You can't quite do that with a 10" blade on this saw. You'll have to put on an 8" blade, make the cut, then switch back or whathaveyou.

Oh, it's also annoying that none of the stands these saws come with have 10" or 12" wheels. The stock wheels won't roll over stairs. So unless you modify your stand you should use two people to safely carry it over finished stair treads. I have managed to awkwardly pull it up stairs without scraping the frame on them, but on some jobs it's far to risky.

Ultimately, if the Bosch and Rigid saws were the same price I'd still go Rigid (no pun intended). If the Bosch were less, then I'd really have to think about it...
