Well yeah, it's the corded version.
I'm not saying brushless is impossible for an AC product, but brushless motors run on DC so you'd need some sort of rectifier in order to achieve that.

For a tool like this, I'll take corded.

I believe this is the table saw the home depot rents out for 50 dollars a day, with a rolling folding stand. I loved it, made me want to buy it. The rack and pinion fence is a no brainer compared to the compression style

I am getting into woodworking, and want to get a table saw - these smaller units are reasonably priced, but is there any reason to skip this and purchase a larger unit?

Also, been looking at those sawstops. Is that worth the extra $$ or just a gimmick? Seems to me the extra $1k is worth not losing a finger.

Great saw. Fence is amazing. Only downside is no dado. Put this on a custom 8' work table and has been awesome.

Tamar at 3x3Custom does some pretty cool stuff using just a job site table saw:

I think it depends on how "into it" you plan to be, too. Most people don't start with a SawStop, but if you're planning to do a LOT of woodworking for years to come, or plan to make a living from it and have the space for it, they're worth the money from the safety aspect because you'll keep your fingers/hands/arms in one piece and so will everyone else you let
use it. Cabinet saws are also quieter, if that's a concern.

That said, most beginners/dabblers like myself start with a decent job site saw. I bought a SKIL TS6307-00 as it was the best bang for the buck at $299

This doesn't do dado, which may be pretty important depending on what woodworking you are getting into.

I think the dewalt 10" version would be better choice for a buy once option.

I've been watching and researching. I may just pull the trigger on the HF hurricane table saw if I can't find a deal on the dewalt. Reviews comparing it to the dewalt are very favorable. If I was a pro, I'd probably opt for dewalt, but I really haven't seen much critical about the HF one.

I just picked mine up and squared up and ripped a few 2x4s for a project I'm doing.
I'm very impressed with it, especially for the price. I will definitely be changing out the blade for a Diablo and see if that helps cut a little smoother.
I also have very little experience with table saws so I'm sure it's a little user error.

I'm not sure how much better you can do at this price. The 10" is obviously a better saw but it's also twice as expensive

The 10-inch that is twice the price is saw and stand? The seemingly equivalent 10-inch (DW745) is $360. It also cannot use dado either though.

I'm hoping for a holiday sale of the DWE7491RS. I've not used a rack and pinion fence tablesaw, and was looking at the Ridgid saw (goes $300 on sale the last few years...and lists used for $300+, so no go there) for some diy cabinets in a few months, but that Dewalt fence seems like it'd be amazing on a rollaway saw.

No dado is probably the biggest catch 22 if you want to get into woodworking. However you could still do dados by moving the fence over and rerunning the board or using a router.

I have this saw and it's been great. Make sure you use hearing protection.

This could potentially work instead of dado stacks but I have no experience. https://a.co/d/eCY8YBi
