DeWalt DWE7491RS Table Saw vs Metabo HPT C3610DRJQ4 Table Saw

The DeWalt DWE7491RS is the safer pick for most shoppers. It is a proven corded saw with a 32-1/2 inch rip capacity, a folding rolling stand and onboard storage, and owners consistently praise how easily it moves and sets up. The Metabo HPT C3610DRJQ4 is lighter, has a slightly larger 35 inch rip, a brushless motor, soft start and an electric brake, and it runs on battery or AC through the MultiVolt platform. That flexibility matters only if you already own MultiVolt batteries, because the saw ships bare. Reviewers of the DeWalt report some shipping damage and a few faulty parts, so inspect it on arrival.

• Choose the DeWalt DWE7491RS if you want a corded saw with a stand included, strong rip capacity and a long track record on jobsites and in home shops.
• Choose the Metabo HPT C3610DRJQ4 if you already use the MultiVolt battery platform and want a lighter saw that can run cordless, with an electric brake and soft start.
