Our take on the DeWALT 8-1/4" Compact Jobsite 15-Amp Table Saw w/ Stand
The DeWalt 8-1/4" Compact Jobsite Table Saw is a 15-amp benchtop saw built to be carried to and from job sites on its folding stand. Its smaller blade keeps the unit lighter than 10-inch contractor saws, and the rack-and-pinion fence stays square when adjusted. It suits trim carpenters, remodelers and garage woodworkers who cut dimensional lumber and sheet goods and need a saw that travels. Against 10-inch jobsite saws it trades some depth of cut for portability, and owners say the fence and stand are the parts that set it apart.
- 15-amp motor handles rip cuts in dimensional lumber
- Rack-and-pinion fence adjusts and stays square
- Folding stand is part of the package
- Lighter and easier to carry than 10-inch contractor saws
- Blade guard and riving knife for safer ripping

What reviewers say
Owners generally rate this saw highly for its fence, its portability and its power for an 8-1/4-inch model. Common complaints center on the smaller blade's cut depth and on the stand's stability with large panels.
- FencePraisedOwners say the rack-and-pinion fence moves easily and holds its setting.
- PortabilityPraisedReviewers like that the saw and stand fold up and can be moved by one person.
- Cut depthCriticisedThe 8-1/4-inch blade cannot cut as deep as 10-inch saws, which limits thick stock.
Questions and answers
- Is this saw good for cutting 2x4s and plywood?
- Yes. The 15-amp motor rips dimensional lumber and cuts plywood, though the smaller blade limits how thick a board you can cut in one pass.
- How does it compare with a 10-inch jobsite table saw?
- It is lighter and easier to carry, but a 10-inch saw cuts deeper and usually has a larger table and rip capacity.
- Does it come with a stand?
- Yes. The saw is sold with a folding jobsite stand.
- Can it take a dado stack?
- The arbor and throat plate limit dado use; check the manual for the maximum width DeWalt allows before fitting one.
- What is the rip capacity?
- Rip capacity is modest compared with full-size contractor saws, so plan on breaking down wide sheet goods with a circular saw first.
- Who is it for?
- Trim carpenters, remodelers and small-shop woodworkers who need a saw that travels and still cuts accurately.
