Deal Details
Amazon and Home Depot has the DEWALT Table Saw for Jobsite, Compact, 8-1/4-Inch (DWE7485) with DEWALT Table Saw Stand, Mobile/Rolling (DW7440RS) for $359 for Amazon Prime members.

This basically matches the Frontpage Home Depot father's day deal from last week. It's $5 more, but Amazon Visa cardholders can get 6% cash back on it for a net of $15 cheaper.

Amazon lists the price to buy the two pieces separately as $490 ($329 for the saw, $161 for the stand). Those prices are comparable to what they're going for elsewhere, too.

Key Features:
  • 15 Amp motor with 8-1/4" blade diameter
  • MAX rip cut right of blade 24.5 in.
  • The rack and pinion fence allows for fast, easy adjustment and provides the capacity to rip 4x8 sheet goods
  • Easily store guard, fence, wrenches and miter gauge.
  • Power-loss reset helps prevent accidental restarts following a power disruption when the tool is left in the on position.
  • Includes 3-Year limited warranty and 1 year free service
  • Portability: Compact size for ease of transportation and storage
  • Lightweight design weighs only 33lbs. delivers 20% less weight to carry than other competitive mobile stands
  • Heavy-duty kickstand allows the stand to balance upright for mobility and storage
  • Quick connect stand brackets attach to saw for easy detachment from stand for loading and unloading

Just FYI that Chase Freedom has 5% back for home improvement stores this quarter. If you have CSP or CSR, then it's 5% UR points, which arguably is better than Amazon's offer.

Was tempted to purchase, but as a weekend home fixerupper, decided a table saw was too powerful/dangerous for occasional use by an inexperienced person. Saw too many videos about kickbacks and missing fingers... Seems like a jigsaw, regular circular saw plus a mitre saw and router can do almost anything a table saw can do and are safer, albeit slower.

I'd argue that the risk with a table saw is only modestly greater than the others, but I do agree that there is some additional a risk there. And, for most DIYers, I'd recommend that they purchase power saws in the order of: circular saw, jigsaw, miter saw, and then table saw.

However, I will note that there are things you can do with a table saw that you cannot do (or cannot do nearly as accurately) without a table saw. The most common example is ripping down larger pieces of wood like a 4'x8' sheet of plywood or OSB. You can try to setup a guide and cut it with a circular saw, but you will never get the reliable and consistent accuracy that a table saw will get you, especially over a long cut.

Additionally, I'd even go so far as to say that ripping long pieces of wood without a table saw can potentially become more dangerous than using a table saw. Trying to cut a 4'x8' piece of plywood in half with a circular saw is not just awkward, it can get dangerous.

I spent months waiting for that, too. Eventually, I started reviewing the things I use a table saw for. . . and realized that 99% of it can be done with the 8 1/4" saw. I love the idea of "going big", especially when it comes to tools (there's a reason basically all of my cordless tools are Dewalt, and not Ryobi or Craftsman), but there's also a place where you hit the point of diminishing returns and the extra money isn't getting you enough benefit to justify it.

That's a great point! I'm waiting for the 10in basically because I went for a smaller miter saw, so I feel I need something that can take two 2x4 stacked together. It's very probably stupid, but at this point, I have been writing scripts to check the price of the 10in table saw for so many websites, I just want to justify this time investment Big Grin

I definitely understand that situation! 😉

Thanks, I'd already started updating the posting to mention that Home Depot had them in stock again. I've added a comment that Amazon is out on it.

I routinely rip or cross cut sheet goods on the ground, supported by a few bricks and with a straightedge. To me muscling 4x8 sheets onto a table saw is more risky, and even more so without infeed/outfeed tables

Writing scripts huh. That sounds interesting. Any advice or direction where a noob like me could learn do something like this? Would have saved me a ton of time for past purchases.

I am with you. A table saw is no more dangerous than any other tool. Any power tool can cut off a finger. I am in my 40s and I have been using a table saw for 30 years. Fun fact, use a push stick when you need to push the wood past the blade. If you are pushing the wood past the blade and your finger is in the way you are not paying attention. Mistakes happen but this is zero percent more dangerous than any other real power tool. Don't fear table saws.
