More about Dewalt Table Saws

DeWalt is a world-wide brand of power tools for the construction and woodworking industries. DeWalt main focus is on high-end branding, and consistently is identified as the most preferred brand of woodworking tools in recent surveys. From the line of various Table Saws manufactured by DeWalt the DeWalt DW746 is considered to be one of the best.

DeWalt's DW746

The Dewalt DW746 model has a 1-3/4hp (15amp) motor that's mounted inboard to give the saw a small footprint. The two heavy-gauge stamped steel extension wings give the saw a table surface of 40-3/4"x 27". The standard model has a rip capacity to the right of the blade and a 16" capacity to the left. Also included in the base model is a clever dust shroud that surrounds the underside of the blade assembly.

The easy-to-use oversized switch lets you turn off the saw with your knee in case you're in an awkward situation. And the beveling and height adjustment wheels are located far enough away from the table to keep your knuckles safe. The overall fit and finish of the saw is excellent, with attention to details that are often missed.

Also included is a smooth-operating rip fence with good accuracy and repeatability. The fence facing can be slid forward and back (much like Delta's Unifence) to improve stability for unusual cuts and set-ups.
