The knob and fence move perfectly square along the blade plane because of the front and back rail. This was a drastic improvement over the clampdown and cross-your-fingers method I’ve been accustomed to. It allows an exact setting to 1/16” accuracy by turning a simple knob at the front of the table. It also has a fold-down support for wide rips that extend beyond the base of the saw.īut what immediately sets the fence off is this track feature. That’s a nice touch especially when you’re working with left- or right-handed cuts. The fence is attached with a simple push clamp and can be mounted to either side of the blade. The first and perhaps the most intelligent feature is the track system for setting the fence. There are a few distinct features on the DeWalt DWE7485 table saw that caught my eye right away. It is replacing a much older Craftsman version with similar but outdated, limited, or missing features. Once I had a few minutes to look it over, turn a few knobs and levers here and there, I got the gist of how things worked and how versatile this tool would be. I intended to do a test run to build a pair of cold frames out of a single 4-foot by 8-foot sheet of plywood and some scrap two-by-fours. The setup was dirt simple and after a few minutes of Styrofoam removal, I had the machine fully exposed and ready to rip. Naturally, once I had it in my hands, I opened the box, set aside the instructions and proceeded to dig in. We were sent the DeWalt DWE7485 to review – join us as we detail our experience with it.
#HOME DEPOT TABLE SAW PORTABLE#
Then DeWalt came out with the DWE7485 Table Saw – an attempt to combine the benefits of a high-quality shop saw with the portable site saw.

Right? Combining a quality shop saw with mobility seemed flat-out pointless as you’d need to completely redesign both to make one version that met the real demands in the field. So bring on the straightedge and hope for the best.

Portable versions often were too heavy and would get sidelined for the lighter, more versatile circular saw on the job site. To get a good cut you had to sacrifice a massive amount of space – which I don’t have. Good quality table saws require significant space in the shop. My past experience has been one of frustration and inconvenience. For the longest time, I’d held off on adding a table saw to the shop arsenal. This post is sponsored by The Home Depot.
