DeWALT 10" 15A Corded Jobsite Table Saw w/ Rolling Stand

If you want to get a table saw with very similar features but $300, I've been happy with the Skil 10" table saw. The stand is very sturdy.

Not mobile, can't compare

How would this compare to the Kobalt one at Lowes also posted here on SD

Usage for the table saw will be mainly for just home DIY - likely used mainly during basement finish / renovation projects and then sit collecting dust.

I think for more serious users (enthusiasts, day to day usage professionals etc.) the Dewalt might make sense. Just wondering if the more than double cost of Dewalt is worth it. Biggest knock against the Kobalt is the fence needs bit more fiddling to align it properly and some feedback from owners of the Kobalt (e.g. this guitar manufacturer [youtube.com] seem to indicate adjusting the fence is not too bad once you figure it out especially for the price difference. (Yes, I know the rack and pinion fence adjustment on Dewalt is pretty neat but is it worth more than twice as much?).

Not trying to thread crap but just honestly trying to understand if the Dewalt might be worth the extra money for limited use case as mine.

Thanks for any feedback,

Sounds like you know the kobalt weak points. The fence is a pain for sure. The stand is kinda sketchy and wobbly or at least the one I used was. Likely doesn't accept a dado stack either. I own the DeWalt and must say I would buy it again if it quit. The cost per use gets less and less each time I hit the power button. And after 5yrs it still runs great. Life's too short for subpar tools and the frustration they can cause, at least imo. Best of luck with your decision and tool journey!

PS Hitachi had one that was similar to DeWalt and went on sale often, perhaps there is a metabo version now? Definitely a better product than the kobalt, with rack and pinion like DeWalt and went on sale quite often in the $300ish price point if I recall. Best wishes

Not the lowest price, but still good 👍

I got this exact saw about 6 months ago for $500.54 tax included from CPO outlets.

I really enjoy it, it cuts like butter. It doesn't take long at all to set up either.

I would recommend calibrating it, making sure the saw blade is truly 45 degrees from the table, leveling the throat plate, etc.

The biggest thing I had to adjust was the distance between the blade and the rip fence. But it's very easy to just adjust the measurement/marker for it.

That's all stuff you should do with any saw out of the box though to make sure all of your cuts are accurate, and you only have to do it once. I recommend watching a video on everything you need to adjust to get accurate cuts.

The only con to this tablesaw is that the miter gauge is kind of crap, but that's par for the course with virtually all tablesaws no matter the price.

What I did was just attach a straight peice of wood to the miter gauge with screws. There's open slots in the gauge for that purpose.

If you've never owned a tablesaw before, I hugely recommend watching a bunch of safety videos because a tablesaw is easily the scariest thing in most people's garages/shops. It has one of, if not the highest potential to injure/maime out of all your tools. You shouldn't be scared of it, but you should always respect it.
