DEWALT DW745 610MM Table Saw (240V)

I Love this saw. I'd been looking for a while and almost talked myself out of getting one based on cost. Then one of these popped up on an Amazon Warehouse deal. Bargain, I'll take that one please. There was some damage to the saw, possibly damaged in transit but Amazon were great at dealing with this.I've had it a while now and used this way more than I ever through I would. The accuracy out of the box was almost spot on. Only a minor tweak required which was a breeze. The fence really makes this saw for me. It's quick to adjust and spot on. The mitre gauge could be better but it's not really something I use. It's far more likely that I would us a sled with an adjustable mitre angle if I ever get time to build one that is! I mainly use it to rip large sheets and I will get round to making a crosscut sled. Sometimes I don't have space to use two saws so would be nice to just use the one.It's been put through it's paces and answered every question I've asked of it so far. The blade it comes with was okay. Solid all round blade that produced a good cut. Though the blade got a little hot during one job and started vibrating a lot on the next. Regardless of how easy I took it on the saw it would cut perfectly, then vibrate and ruin a lovely cut. Blade replaced and it's back to doing what it's great at, being a cracking table saw.

What a machine. Love it. Bought it to start making some home hobby furniture and used it to trim down some decor ends when fitting my kitchen. The cuts were accurate and pin sharp and clean.Portable and accurate. The fence is solid and accurate with the locking mechanism and width adjust having a smooth operation and accurate measure.It kicks out some sawdust so I would expect to buy a vacuum if working indoors. The only negative I can say is it's noisy. Without comparing this to other machines it's hard to gauge competition but I would expect them to be the same. A brake would have been one way of reducing the noise after cutting.All in all a great price of kit and I am extremely happy with my purchase.

Top notch job site saw, great build quality, my fence was spot on out of the box, purchased on eBay uk as I couldn't get one shipped from Amazon UK, and double the price here in Spain. Mine came with the US style flip over fence, for small cuts and extending cut shelf, although the one I ordered was exactly the same as the one pictured above. see YouTube for the difference. A few pointers the blade insert plate has 4 screws to set its height, they do not attach it to the table, I removed all 4 and then the locking screw to instal the guard and riving knife, just turn the screw nearest to you to remove the plate. The riving blade slots in, undo the nut a few turns push the riving blade part way in then push the spring loaded nut in, this will allow the bade to click into place, then tighten the nut.The mitre slide has some play and would be adequate for general site joinery, if you are using this as a shop saw make a cross cut sled. The only niggle is the riving blade sits well above the blade making rebate cuts impossible with the blade attached (possible mod to mine as I prefer it attached at all times to stop binding and kick backs.) this saw will replace a site saw I have had for a good few years. I will update this when I have put it through its paces. I would probably recommend the trolley accessory, the saw is not overly heavy but needs a good stand and the trolley seems a good solution to moving and working from.

The unit is solid and stable, and has easily dealt with the (relatively) light duty jobs I've used it for so far (ripping engineered wood flooring). The cuts are straight, without any chipping of the oak surface sheet, and no burning of the material with the supplied standard blade.The controls are clear and intuitively located; I wouldn't have needed to read the instruction manual if it wasn't for the fact I had to in order to assemble it! The guide fence is solid when locked, no fear of it veering off- which was something that worried me from the reviews of some of the cheaper options out there. I've not tried cutting any angles yet, either using the mitre fence or by altering the cutting angle of the blade, but the saw seems to lock very securely using either, so I imagine the only problems are going to be user error rather than with the tool.The only frustration I've had so far is that it does not mount all that easily onto my workmate; The "roll cage" does have fixing points, but they require I fix it to an MDF sheet or similar with screws before then attaching it to the work mate (I have no intention of running screws directly into it). For the amount that I need it, this is a bit excessive and so I have it rested on top- which is in fact more than sufficient due to the weight of the saw (probably wouldn't pass HSE on a job site though). Having some clamps on the roll cage or similar would be handy.To be honest, I could probably have bought a cheaper unit for my needs, but I was concerned by the reviews of wobbly guide fences - so went with the DeWalt. I've no doubt it's worth the money if you have it available; No one wants their work ruined by problems with the tools, and this is pretty much the cheapest around with no reports of dodgy guide fences. The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is because it hasn't done anything amazingly good- it does exactly what I expected it to do very well.

Very pleased, only used cheaper, diy saws before. Very accurate, & has the extra width facility, which is great for cutting boards. Have mainly used it for making cupboards, including one to stand the tablesaw itself on. The saw is quite noisey, but not as much as I expected from reading other reviews, & certainly quieter than previous saws I have used. I won"t be moving it about from job to job, it will be in my workshop, but I can see it would be very handy for a jobbing joiner. Have also found it very handy for making smaller pieces of wood which are not standard size. I can see this saw being really useful, and wish I had bought one earlier.
