![DEWALT DWE7491RS Table Saw Review [2023 Update]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41qG6fwKc8L.jpg)
The powerful 15-amp motor and 4,800 RPM provides more speed and flexibility for ripping materials. The DEWALT DWE7491RS can handle ¾” plywood as well as 2x framing material and 1x maple.
Rack and Pinion Telescoping Rail System allows for fast, smooth and accurate adjustments. It also serves as a support for ripping wider materials.
32 1/2” Rip capacity means you can handle bigger cuts and large shelving materials. This number is for the right side. On the left, the max is 22 inches. For a portable jobsite saw, this rip capacity is excellent.
The patented material support systems and flip over ripping fence allow for narrow rip cuts.
New safety features, including a power reset, a better riving knife and a protected on/off switch.
The DEWALT DWE7491RS has something for everyone. It’s ideal for owners of companies who need advanced safety features on job sites, and it’s perfect for anyone looking to upgrade or acquire a bigger saw. This model, with its recent upgrades, provides users with the “Cadillac” of jobsite table saws but without an unnecessarily high price tag.
One thing to keep in mind that this saw is designed for users who are interested in its portability. While it is generally accurate and has excellent controls, it’s not realistic to expect the precision that comes with a shop saw. Instead, the goal of the DEWALT jobsite saws is to provide rugged durability. If that’s what you’re looking for, then this model should be at the top of your shopping list.
Yes, this model is ideal for beginners and advanced users alike. It’s easy to use and set up, making it more than suitable for the novice woodworker. The safety features also help add some security for beginners who are still gaining skill and confidence. The advanced functionality and precision controls also make it a top choice among advanced users as well.
When lying flat, the dimensions are 27 1/2" wide, 46" long (43" if you use the shorter handle length slots), and 25" high with the rail on (21 1/2" with it off). It’s worth noting that it can be stored standing up or lying down.
Yes, it will accept a 13/16” dado, and an 8” diameter blade, but it doesn’t come with a dado plate.
It’s an aluminum metal with a non-stick coating.
Yes, if needed, you can remove the saw from the base. However, it’s a compact enough unit that you most likely won’t have to, especially once you fold the legs.
The included miter gauge is considered average to below average for quality and performance. It’s small, short, and has some play to it when you put it in the slot. If you’re a casual, occasional user, it may serve its purpose, but if you’re an intermediate to an advanced woodworker, we suggest purchasing a better one separately.
