In fact, this saw is loaded with great, user-friendly features. There's an oversize, left-side on/off switch that lets you bump the saw off with your knee if you run into trouble while making a cut. It's exactly this sort of attention to detail that wins a lot of people over to DeWalt products. The blade-elevation crank is also set lower on this saw than most, so there's plenty of hand clearance for making blade-height adjustments. Again, this might seem like a minor touch, but think about how frustrating it is to bang your knuckles on a table bottom every time you want to change the blade height. This table's sturdy metal bevel scale is nice, too; it's easy to read and much burlier than the mere stickers found on a lot of other saws.
The saw's inboard 1-3/4-horsepower induction motor is quiet, cuts down on vibration, and makes this saw considerably more space-efficient than outboard motor saws, a feature you'll appreciate if you work in a small shop or have to take your saw through doorways. And, at 254 pounds, this saw has plenty of heft, a big cast-iron trunnion, and a sturdy steel base. There's also an integrated dust port if you want to hook the saw up to a dust collector. Available in a few different configurations, this model--the DW746KB, with its 52-inch fence, table board, sliding table and miter attachment, and free mobile base--is really the top of the line. --Jon Groebner

This review is from: DEWALT DW746KB 10-Inch Woodworkers Table Saw with 52-Inch Fence, Table Board, Sliding Table, Miter Attachment, and Free Mobile Base (Tools & Home Improvement) I'll start with what's really important to me, and then I'll talk about the detractors. I bought this saw five months ago, but before I wrote a review I wanted to get some sawdust on the floor first. Bottom line this table saw cuts wood -- and does it very well. That's why I gave it a five star rating. I suppose a 3hp cabinet saw does a better job, but for a guy cutting wood in his garage that¡¦s a bit of overkill. But hey, if you got the money, go for it.What do I like about this saw: -- It's heavy. It doesn't move a bit when you rip a big board. 11 of 11 people found the following review helpful:  Quality saw, By "1bmwbiker" (Media, PA USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: DEWALT DW746KB 10-Inch Woodworkers Table Saw with 52-Inch Fence, Table Board, Sliding Table, Miter Attachment, and Free Mobile Base (Tools & Home Improvement) I have owned this saw, with the 52" table, sliding left wing and outfeed table for 4 years. The saw is single belt driven, with the motor directly under the table. Main table and table extension legs are well made (painted cast iron). The extension table top as well as the outfeed table top are made of MDF. This is a problem since I now need to replace the MDF with something more durable.The cutting quality of the saw and the rip fence system is high. I recommend using a blade stabilizer to minimize motor vibration transfer to the blade. Blade changes are easy and the blade shroud allows for easy addition of a dust collection hose. Set up took approx. 3 hours but the instructions were clear and easy to follow. I am running the saw at 220 volt for added power. The electrical conversion was a breeze. The ovesized precision miter fence that comes with the expanded version of the saw is a great addition to the workshop.

Let me tell you about it. First the main table saw cast iron surface is not flat, there is a bow making it hard to align the blade at 90 degree. The blade insert is of thin cast aluminum and is bowed as well, not a surprise when you cast something with a long slot in it but inadequate for this use. The dust removal through is inefficient, you'll get dust inside and under the table. The miter saw extension is next to useless. It is also bowed from bad machining process (again a cast iron piece that has not been stress relieved before machining). The result is that it is impossible to align with the main table. The alignment system for the miter saw table is a four point system which means there is one redundant degree of liberty adding more difficulty. The miter attachement is also flimsy and deflects under load, it is very difficult to make straight cuts.
The fence is excellent with its tubular sliding mechanism. The power...Read more |
