- Is the DWE7485 good for cutting plywood?
- It can cut sheet goods, but the short rip capacity and small table make wide panels awkward. A track saw or a larger saw handles full sheets better.
- How does it compare with a 10-inch table saw?
- It is lighter and easier to move, but the 8-1/4 inch blade gives less depth of cut and the table is smaller. Choose it for portability, not for thick stock.
- Does it come with a stand?
- No. The saw ships with the blade, blade guard, riving knife and miter gauge; a stand is sold separately.
- What is the rip capacity?
- The fence rips to the right of the blade across most of the table width, which is enough for trim and narrow stock but not for wide panels.
- Can it cut hardwood?
- Yes, with a sharp blade and a slow feed. The 15-amp motor handles hardwood in modest thicknesses; deep cuts in thick stock are where the smaller blade shows.
- Is the fence accurate out of the box?
- Owners generally report the rack-and-pinion fence stays square, though checking it against a square after setup is wise.
- Where is the DEWALT DWE7485 Jobsite Table Saw 8-1/4 Compact Design for Portability & Precision cheapest?
- At Ma boutique, for $49.99, as of our latest check.
