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 DW746XB, with its 30-inch fence and free mobile base--is a smart buy for a woodworker with a small shop. --Jon Groebner

This review is from: DEWALT DW746XB 10-Inch Woodworkers Table Saw with 30-Inch Fence (Tools & Home Improvement) My woodworking hobby outgrew my starter saw a few years ago, but circumstances did not allow me to buy a new saw until this year. Since I really wanted to take my time with this decision, I studied the market, put my hands on every saw I could, and read everything I could find on the web about table saw features. Since I work in a library, I also had access to every table saw review in most of the woodworking magazines. Eventually I came up with the following criteria: - I have a one car garage for a workshop, so space was a big issue. I was only looking at saws with 30" capacity to the right of the blade. I also limited my search to saws that could be pushed flat against a wall if need be. This left only hybrids and cabinet saws to consider. - I wanted the most powerful motor I could get without having to switch to 240 volts, yet have the option to rewire the saw for 240v later if I so choose (thus eliminating 3hp saws). -...Read more 19 of 19 people found the following review helpful: Excellent Saw, By This review is from: DEWALT DW746XB 10-Inch Woodworkers Table Saw with 30-Inch Fence (Tools & Home Improvement) Overall this saw is an excellent saw.. there are a few minor things that could have been improved, but every saw is going to have SOMETHING that could be better.
Setup was fairly easy, but still time consuming. A couple of tips on setup: 1.) setup the mobile base first, then the saw on top of that. This is because you have to lift the saw to get it on the mobile base. It's a very heavy saw that only gets heavier when you add the fence rails,etc... 2.) Extension wing setup. The extension wings are bolted to the main table in 3 places. Hand tighten all the nuts, then level the extension to the main table and fully lock down the nuts. If you try and tighten one side first, it will goof up the other side. This saw is fairly quiet and vibration free, and the motor delivers enough horsepower for anything I have to give it. Do yourself a favor and upgrade the blade though. The stock blade is a general purpose blade that doesn't seem to cut as well as the...Read more 19 of 22 people found the following review helpful:  DeWalt 746...the good, the bad and the ugly, By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: DEWALT DW746XB 10-Inch Woodworkers Table Saw with 30-Inch Fence (Tools & Home Improvement) I have owned this table saw for just over a year. Recently I replaced the fence with an Accusquare. I also have the mobile base.The Good. 1) Can be run on both 120 and 240V. 2) Once tuned up properly, can cut accurately 3) Easily moved around with a mobile base for cramped quarters. The Bad 1) Underpowered....this saw has bogged down and overheated the startup and run capacitors three times....with 4/4 figured maple and with 8/4 purple heart. After the breakers engage you have to wait a bit before it will run again. 2) The fence is really not that well made. After ordering a shim kit from DeWalt, I was able to square it up somewhat but it was still bowed. 3) At the price, it should come standard with cast iron wings. The Ugly 1) Adjusting the squareness of the table top to the blade was extremely frustrating....and the use of Torx...Read more |
