Includes DW7440 Table Saw Stand. One year warranty, One year service contract, 30 day no-risk trial Amazon.com The first thing we look
for in a table saw--portable or otherwise--is an accurate, smooth-working
fence, and the telescoping fence on DeWalt's 10-inch portable table saw
impressed us immediately. Fully extended, the fence delivers a 24-1/2-inch
rip capacity, letting you cut to the center of a 4-by-8-foot sheet, while
the rack-and-pinion design lets you make microadjustments fast and
accurately. We also liked how the fence rides on both the front and back
rails so that it's parallel to the blade at all times. The telescoping
rails retract, too--when the job's done, the saw is easy and safe to
transport.
Like most 10-inch
portable saws, DeWalt's has a 3-1/8-inch depth capacity at 90 degrees and
a 2-1/4-inch capacity at 45. The 13 amp motor cranks plenty of torque and
doesn't lag when cutting hardwood or pressure-treated stock. Performance
aside, DeWalt clearly also kept safety in mind when designing this saw.
Its oversize on/off switch is positioned so you can easily bump it off
with your knee if you get into trouble making a cut. The arbor on Dewalt's
saw also has the capacity for a full dado stack. Add to that the saw's
dust-collection hookup and sturdy steel stand, and you've got a portable
table saw that can hold its own in the shop. --Jon Groebner |
