DEWALT DW745

What size timber can it handle? - The Dewalt DW745 can rip up to 16 inches of timber quickly and cleanly. It can also angle cut from 0 to 45 degrees with the easily adjustable blade.


How stable is it? The rear feet on the Dewalt DW745 are fully adjustable which makes this saw extremely stable even on rough ground, and it has a metal roll cage so it is very durable. It also has a coating on the surface of the table to allow the timber to slide freely.

Is the fence easy to adjust? The rack and pinion fence on this table saw allows for fast and reliable adjustments that will last for the entire job run. The fence will also telescope out to give room for larger pieces.

It's extremely important that you get some feedback from people who have bought a saw before you go out and buy one yourself. I never buy anything unless I see that there are more good reviews than bad reviews.

Here are some of the best reviews from Amazon.com that show you what people really think of the Dewalt table saw.

I've always bought and had good success w/ the cheap delta table saw,they generaly last about three years and most of the more expensive saws have the same features. The reason I bought the Dewalt dw745 was for the rack and pinion fence and for the metal roll cage both great features only found w/ this saw at any price that set this saw apart. So far runs very quite and smooth for a commpact saw and powerfull, ripped 26 pt 2x4 s the other day preformed well.only drawback miter gauge doesn't lock in like the delta did and no where on the saw to store it but thats what my chop saw is for. Overall love it.

...This new DeWalt is the best. Best fence- I love the rack and pinion. No more tapping the fence over with my tape or my hand. Roll bars on the bottom are ideal for pushing the saw into the back of a truck. Portable- it's not too heavy or bulky and still seems not to compromise on quality. I simply screw through the available holes to secure the saw to some sturdy sawhorses for an easy stand. My shop vac hose fits right over the dust chute and the entire motor is housed to channel the sawdust into the chute....

I needed a small table saw for home remodeling that could easily be stored and take a minimal amount of storage space. I needed a lightweight saw so that I could easily move it around and set it up by myself with minimal effort. I wanted a fairly inexpensive saw that had a quality easy to use fence. I have found that the Dewalt DW745 has met all of those conditions and has exceeded my expectations. I have owned the saw for 8 months now and have used it on numerous remodeling projects and am still very pleased with this saw. I really like the rack and pinion fence system, this is very easy to use and very convenient opposed to the traditional screw post fence. The DW745 fence locks down with a simple lever, yet another nice feature. Perhaps one of the more overlooked features that I find extremely important is that the DW745 contains storage compartments for the accessory saw tools such as the blade wrenches and push stick. In the past, with other table saws, I have always struggled with keeping up with the blade wrenches, especially for a portable saw.
