This dust feature works well, well done DEWALT!! So did we get this right – YEP we did! The shroud captures and directs dust toward the dust chute. The canvas is sized to follow the motor as it is raised/lowered or beveled. We liked the heavy-duty black canvas shroud that is mounted to the underside of the table to the motor. We felt that the DEWALT Cordless 8-1/4” Table Saw was durable for Jobsite use with its metal roll cage protecting the saw and convenient handle for carrying. The riving knife is also a nice feature and it mirrors the saw blade doing a nice job at keeping the saw kerf from closing behind the blade while ripping, it also helps prevent a bind between the blade and fence from getting caught by the saw teeth on the back of the blade.

The fence extends wide enough to allow a 24-inch rip capacity on the right side of the blade and will allow a 12-inch rip to the left of the blade. I told you back then that the fence was super smooth, and made easy micro-adjustments. It’s so nice that everyone else has copied it. This fence allows for two positions in order to rip up to 24” material. Probably one of the best features of this saw is the amazing rack and pinion fence design. While that’s still good advice – DEWALT now offers higher Ah batteries extending the saws runtime even more. Impressive right?īack then we told you that if you were serious about using a cordless table saw, we recommended a second battery. We did a runtime test using a 60V, 4 Ah battery pack at the time. We cut For the 256 lineal feet of IPE decking material, 264 lf of framing lumber, and 608 lf of ¾ plywood.

They also said they were currently working on an adapter but it was still about 9 months or more away.

I had also inquired whether an accessory power cord was in the making, so users could plug into a power outlet for AC current.ĭEWALT, told me back then that the cost for an AC adapter /cord similar to the miter saw accessory, would be substantial as the electrical current needs to be converted from 60v to 120V. So if you were already used to using a DEWALT table saw, there was NO learning curve.Īt that time I told you I was a fan of all DEWALT table saws, but the best feature of this saw is obviously that it’s cordless. Back then I told you that I was impressed with its portability, versatility, performance, and power.Īt that time the new table saw had all the same features as their corded sibling. DEWALT FlexVolt Cordless 8-1/4″ Table Saw – Model DCS7485T1Ĥ-1/2 years ago I tested the Flexvolt 8-1/4” table saw.
