I wasn’t sure how much I cared that the built-in stand for this saw had wheels, but, boy, did I ever use them.
DeWalt sells a nearly identical saw with a less robust stand, and after viewing it in a big box store, I was glad to have this one. The built-in stand sets this saw apart from competitors since it is actually quite stable out of the box and doesn’t require a custom stand or supports to combat vibration, which are often necessary with cheaper and lighter units. The 15-amp motor is fairly standard for this contractor or job site level of table saw, and none of the boards I threw at it caused it to bind-good news, as binding is at best annoying and at worst dangerous.īasic ripping of 5/4 deck boards-this saw’s primary task in my project-was a breeze, though I did have to employ a rolling stand (sold separately) to “catch” the long deck boards as I cut further through them.
With a maximum cut depth of 3.125 inches and a 32.5-inch rip capacity, the 10-inch blade of this DeWalt table saw handled all the relatively light-duty board ripping I needed from it, but I also tested it against a variety of plywood and other board sizes to assess its capability.
