Delta ShopMaster S36-295 Table Saw vs DeWalt DWE7491RS Table Saw
The DeWalt DWE7491RS is the better saw for most shoppers. Its rack-and-pinion fence, 32-1/2 in rip capacity, 13/16 in dado capacity and integrated rolling stand beat the Delta on capability and portability. The Delta ShopMaster is lighter at 61 lbs and simpler to set up, but its 16 in right rip and aluminum table limit it to trim and flooring work. Owners rate the DeWalt much higher, though some report shipping damage and a faulty angle-lock lever.
- Choose the Delta ShopMaster if you want a light, simple saw for flooring, trim and pressure-treated lumber and you rarely rip wide stock.
- Choose the DeWalt DWE7491RS if you need wide rips, dado cuts and a stand that folds and rolls, and you want the saw most owners rate highly.
