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

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 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.

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 love my table saw and wouldn't be without one. Regarding safety, I consider it one of the safest tools I own - certainly safer than a circulaw saw. Stay to the left of the blade, use push sticks/jigs to guide your work rather than your hand and wear eye protection. The odds of serious injury when you adhere strictly to standard safety measures is extremely low. All of those table saw horror stories are the result of people getting lax about safety and can happen with any tool.

I mostly agree with you. The only thing I disagree with is ripping sheet goods. Unless you have 2 or 3 people, putting a big sheet on a rather small saw can be very dangerous. Much easier and safer doing solo with a circular saw.
But ripping floor boards or any other board, is easier and imo safer on a table saw.

At under $400, you could buy everyone of these in America and it would still cost less than a single sheet of plywood

That should be changing soon. Futures of lumber went from $350 to $1600 in a little over a year. Now it is back down to $900. How long will the big box stores gouge consumers before they lower the price? That is a different story.

Check out Distill Web Monitor. You can do something similar without needing any technical knowledge.

If you know a bit of Python, Selenium is the way. For instance, a distilled but hopefully useful bit of my script fetches the price of the tablesaw at Max Tool. This reads:

Code:
import time, re
import sys
import xml.dom.minidom
from selenium import webdriver

options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument('headless')
options.add_argument("user-agent=Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/90.0.4430.93 Safari/537.36")

browser = webdriver.Chrome(options=options)

keep_lines = '.*\$.*'

def print_clean (s):
    l = s.split ('\n')
    title = l[0]
    del l[0]
    l = [ e for e in l if re.match (keep_lines, e) ]
    print (title + ':\t' + '/'.join (l))

def print_matching(name, url, xpath, all_items = False):
    browser.get (url)
    time.sleep (5)
    elts = browser.find_elements_by_xpath (xpath)
    if all_items:
        for elt in elts:
            print_clean (name + ': ' + elt.text)
    else:
        if elts:
            print_clean (name + ': ' + elts[0].text)


print_matching ('Table saw max tool',
                'https://www.maxtool.com/products/dewalt-dwe7491rs-10-inch-jobsite-table-saw-with-32-1-2-inch-rip-w-rolling-stand',
                "//p[@class='modal_price']")

Its not the bigbox stores. Its the spawn of Satan that own all the mills. Anyway...i wouldnt count on it dropping much more. Id say that after Biden and Trump inflation the dollar isnt going to be worth toilet paper...but we all know a roll of toilet paper is worth more than a college eduction these days...time to buy a portable saw mill. Of course, good luck getting parts...

I can take a guess, but there are actually a handful of companies making high quality options these days. I'm assuming you're looking for a "good" quality option (something that is at the upper end of the DIY level, or lower end of the contractor level, as opposed to a basic entry-level saw). Based on that, you can get excellent smaller/portable table saws from Dewalt, Bosch, Rigid, and Metabo (Hitachi). To that, if you look at their higher-end options, Skil and Makita have some great saws, too.

Just look for something with good reviews and a minimum of a 24" rip capacity. If you do that, chances are you're going to end up with something pretty solid. The cheaper (lower quality) ones will typically be weeded out due to a lesser rip capacity.

Quote from cpc13 :
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.
The one counterpoint I'd make is that you're thinking of what you do with a table saw now, but with enhanced capability, that may change. I ended up getting a 10" for the greater cutting capacity certainly, but also because it was generally easier and cheaper to find alternate blades at reasonable prices. I feel like because 8 1/4" blades are less common, there's generally a premium that you end up paying, or at least there was last time I looked.

I feel like because 8 1/4" blades are less common, there's generally a premium that you end up paying, or at least there was last time I looked.
The difference in cutting depth just isn't that great, though, and I'm honestly having trouble coming up with many scenarios where I actually need it. I'm not saying it can't (or won't) happen, but no project I've done in the last few years (or that I have planned for the next few) seems like it's going to be a problem. If it does become that big of an issue, then I expect I'll be upgrading to a cabinet saw anyway.

It is true that 8 1/4" blades are less common, although I haven't found them to be less expensive. It's just that there are (currently) fewer options. With more manufacturers releasing 8 1/4" table saws on their portable/jobsite lines (due to recent UL regulation changes that require smaller blades depending on the size of the table), it's becoming a more common size. I expect that will only increase over the next couple of years.

As a small time fixer upper/hobbyist I think you should reconsider, this is an awesome deal, especially for one with a stand. Just make sure you do everything safely and you'll be fine.
