Dewalt Table SawsUnfortunately, in the tool industry, manufacturers tend to label anything that is not bolted down as portable, and many table saws that are sold on this premise end up being bulky, hard to handle, heavier-than-steel models that threaten to slip a disc in one’s back from the effort of moving them from place to place. Not so with the DeWalt DW745 – a great DeWalt table saw that weighs just around 45 pounds or so, much less of a strain than its 65-70 pound table saw competitors. Finally, a table saw even my grandmother can lift if she needed to. DeWalt Table Saw Features The DeWalt DW745 is loaded with features that make it look like the crazy popular DeWalt DW744 that went on a diet and came back slim and trim. With many of the DW744’s features intact, like the easy to adjust rack-and-pinion fence and hairline indicator for precise measurements, the DeWalt DW745 gives a lot of bang for your hard-earned dollar, with a price tag that dips just under $400. DeWalt went the extra mile with the DeWalt DW745 table saw, however, adding a bunch of bells and whistles its older counterparts were lacking, like a sturdy roll cage that protects the saw, just to mention one of the best improvements. Although the rip capacity is declined on the DeWalt DW745 to 16” from 24 ½” on the earlier version, this is a small trade off for the other enhancements. This DeWalt table saw has all of the features that any woodworker or carpenter would expect to find on a high quality DeWalt table saw – including standard-size meter slots that will fit most aftermarket accessories, easy depth adjustments, easy bevel adjustments, easy blade changes, and an easy to reach and easy to see power switch on the front of the saw. DeWalt Table Saw - Great Saw for the Money The DeWalt DW745 also includes a 2 ½ inch hookup for dust collection, has a blade tilt of up to 45 degrees, and a powerful 15 AMP motor that can power through nearly anything that you throw at it. With the purchase of your DeWalt DW745, you also get the peace of mind of a three year manufacturer’s warranty, as well as a miter gauge, push stick, and blade guard. Although there are more expensive table saws on the market, for the basic do-it-yourself carpenter with his own workshop, or for a woodworker who needs a portable table saw that can be easily carried back and forth to the job site, you cannot beat the price and features of this DeWalt table saw.
