Editorial Review:
The DeWalt DW744X is a 10-Inch Job Site Table Saw with Stand. It has the capacity to rip full sheets of plywood or the power to cross-cut 2 maple at a 45° bevel. It offers the serious professional the features and versatility for the job site or in the work shop. The saw is loaded with the features professionals demand like 24-1/2 rip capacity, telescoping rails and the patented rack-and-pinion fence system which ensures parallel cuts every time. Includes: 10" Job Site Table Saw, 10" 24-tooth Carbide Blade, Portable table saw stand and Miter gauge.
The first thing we look for in a table saw--portable or otherwise--is an accurate, smooth-working fence, and the telescoping fence on DeWalt's 10-inch portable table saw impressed us immediately. Fully extended, the fence delivers a 24-1/2-inch rip capacity, letting you cut to the center of a 4-by-8-foot sheet, while the rack-and-pinion design lets you make microadjustments fast and accurately. We also liked how the fence rides on both the front and back rails so that it's parallel to the blade at all times. The telescoping rails retract, too--when the job's done, the saw is easy and safe to transport.
Like most 10-inch portable saws, DeWalt's has a 3-1/8-inch depth capacity at 90 degrees and a 2-1/4-inch capacity at 45. The 15 amp motor cranks plenty of torque and doesn't lag when cutting hardwood or pressure-treated stock. Performance aside, DeWalt clearly also kept safety in mind when designing this saw. Its oversize on/off switch is positioned so you can easily bump it off with your knee if you get into trouble making a cut. The arbor on Dewalt's saw also has the capacity for a full dado stack. Add to that the saw's dust-collection hookup and sturdy steel stand, and you've got a portable table saw that can hold its own in the shop. --Jon Groebner

burned out motor costs $290:
I had this for a little while. Sold it to my brother who then proceeded
to burn the motor while ripping 3/4" boards within 6 months. A replacement motor is $290 + replacement labor costs (either Dewalt's or mine), which means this is a useless piece of scrap. Come on Dewalt, why do you have to make more of a contribution to the
throwaway society. The review would be 4star otherwise. The outriggers on both sides are a worthwhile purchase. Pro's Really well designed fence. I... more info
benchtop DeWalt table saw:
The product worked excellently at the job site. It ripped and crosscut with ease and the stand holds it firmly in place. The only issue I had was it was very difficult to raise and lower the saw blade.
Great all around saw so far....:
On site carpenter's table saw: easy to move, very accurate fence and easily adjustable. The fence is probably it's nicest feature, Accurate and easily adjusted...just occasionally blow off the wood dust that will clog the gears after a while. I am a Bosch tool guy usually but I found the Bosch equivalent to be even larger, with a flimsier fence but without a larger capacity of table top nor with as much cutting power. I also prefer Dewalt's chop saws too. Any downsides? The motor is somewhat... more info
A fine tool, especially when space is limited:
This is an excellent tool. It is well made, stable, accurate and lightweight. The motor is powerful enough for most tasks. The fence is excellent and the miter gauge is ok. (I replaced the miter gauge with a $60 miter gauge from Incra.) I have a small workshop, made from a one-car garage, and a table saw that can be easily moved out of the way is the only one I could accommodate. If you buy this tool you really should buy the table extensions (DW7441). They make it easier to handle large boards and... more info
