DeWalt 10" Jobsite Table Saw w/ Rolling Stand DWE7491RS Reviews

Since a 2021 purchase the blade nut has loosened about four times, usually after the saw sat unused for days, though less severely than the original poster.

Heavy use, and while cutting trim the blade came loose for the first time; they tightened it hard and kept working.

About a decade in, a good portable jobsite saw with a really solid fence, used to build cabinets and picture frames.

Same model here: the special table coating resists corrosion and lets wood slide easily, but it scratches easily and is hard to maintain once worn.

Five years in, everything still works; holds true once squared and dialed in, good enough for cabinets and furniture, with the left and right slots slightly off parallel.

Worked it hard for 8 years, then passed it to a friend who still uses it for hobbies; had really good luck with it.

Paid $650 new for this exact saw and loves it.

On their second one after roughly 4-5 years; a daily workhorse for ripping framing lumber.

Going strong for 5 or 6 years and plenty accurate for their work, though not a cabinet saw.

A wonderful saw in their own use, and they consider the asking price a good deal.

Came new in a bundle with an XR drill/driver set, and they like it a lot.

Good for ripping trim, moldings and paneling, but large 3/4 inch sheets are awkward because the stand shifts when pushing them.

Talked a used one down to $475; after only brief use making a featherboard they are happy with how it feels.

Found odd wear marks on the stock blade at the first blade change on a saw bought new; unsure whether it is a blade defect or an arbor problem.

Fitted a soft start module to their saw following posted wiring details and reports it works great.

Two separate units developed a loose arbor nut after months of use, with the blade spinning on for a minute after shutoff; they want a refund and a different saw.

No loose-blade problem in a year of use and a great saw so far, though others' reports give them pause.

Seven years of dependable use with a dust collector, but the fence top has tilted out of square with no adjustment and a replacement costs about half the saw price, so they would not buy it again.

Ended up buying it as a first table saw; with one good planed side it is accurate enough to rip boards for glue-ups.

Second-hand purchase a few years ago shows noticeable blade misalignment that follows the arbor; they suspect a bent arbor from its past use.

Cuts thick stock and can be set up accurately without power issues, but it loses that accuracy quickly and is light enough that heavy boards push it around. Still fond of it.

Cutting thick cherry with a thin-kerf blade trips the breaker about four times, though they suspect old-house wiring is partly to blame.

Found the saw fine in general but did not trust it for ripping very thick stock, so used a circular saw and hand saw instead.

Easy to tuck into a shop corner, but they want a better fence with a way to attach featherboards for miter and strip cuts.

Spent four years with it believing their woodworking was off because cuts were never accurate, and the problems vanished on switching to a cabinet saw.

Cuts fine out of the box for cabinets and boxes in plywood, pine and 2x stock, but is not a precision machine and an upgrade to a cabinet saw is planned.

Previously owned it and found it very stable with no play in the housing, selling it only to get a stiffer top.

New saw had play in the motor housing and a blade off parallel after setup, fixed by shimming; support calls and a warranty claim went unanswered, though the saw still cuts well.

Went with it over a Bosch and reports zero regrets after a couple of years, saying it does everything needed and more.

Their saw has the same sagging throat plate lip that catches material; the only workaround found so far is blue tape, which does not always work.

Throat plate sags below the plastic lip and catches workpieces; also needed a warranty claim over the flip-down support, and for the price they expected more.

Saw itself is within tolerance and cuts straight after squaring the blade, but the rolling stand sits about one degree out of level.

Added a soft start module to their saw and says the wiring instructions worked perfectly; notes the module has an adjustment screw for the softest start.

The flip-down fence piece would not lay flat in either position despite adjustments; the maker sent a replacement fence under warranty after they sent photos.

Everyone who uses their saw loves it; they think the fence problem in the thread is a defective unit.

Four of these in use; the arbor that accepts a dado stack is the biggest perk.

Homeowner and amateur who uses the saw heavily and loves it.

About two years in after a discounted retaped-box purchase, very happy: good power, accurate adjustments and quick setup.

Installed a soft start module on their saw, correcting an earlier wiring guide; shortened the leads and used spade connectors for every connection.

Owner who likes it quite a bit; notes it takes a dado stack, which many small saws cannot, and likes the fence.

Really likes the saw overall, but warns the cast aluminum top is not perfectly flat; the waviness does not seem to matter much in use.

Returned within two weeks because the fence could not be squared to the table and there is no adjustment to make it perpendicular.

Beginner who bought it on sale and feels it was worth the price; praises the warranty, solid build and especially the easy, accurate rack and pinion fence.

Would have returned it after buying new over a year ago, citing a table top that sinks in the middle and a blade that wobbles when switched off; calls it the worst tool they own.

New saw arrived from the retailer with scratches and gouges across the work surface; accepted a partial refund and plans to file the table smooth.

Loves the rack and pinion fence on their own saw.

Owner complaining of a violent start-up where the blade flexes and chips out zero clearance inserts and crosscut sleds, which led them to attempt a soft start retrofit.

The rack and pinion fence is the best they have used, and it stayed dead on square six months after they set it.

Handles both job site work and finer work well; long boards and large flat sheets are a challenge because of the saw size.

A job site workhorse they would buy again, though they now use a cabinet saw for shop work; cuts are fine for plywood with a good feed setup.

After owning both a Ridgid jobsite saw and this one, this is much better, mainly for its fence, though the Ridgid stand is nicer.

Chosen for its dado capability with a highly rated fence; the first unit had a blade alignment defect and the maker replaced it under warranty.

Runs a dado stack on it regularly and rips plywood to full width; values the extra rip capacity and says it suits a cramped workshop.

Upgraded from the smaller 8-1/4 inch saw after a year and likes the 10 inch model more, mainly for sharing blades with a miter saw and wider blade choice. Notes both saws are very loud.

About six months of ownership with no regrets. Easy to move and load into a truck, and a dado stack works very well on it after replacing an older saw that died.

Finds the saw with its rolling stand pretty portable, loading it right into a Jeep.

Daily trim work for 13 years before any problem; the rack and pinion fence is top notch.

Nearly every day for six years, super accurate for its class; no upgrade planned until they can afford a cabinet saw.

Recently bought as a first table saw; likes the slick rack and pinion fence, adjustability, easy blade changes and dado capability, though not enough use for a strong opinion yet.

Fine for a small fold-away home workshop with the rolling cart; the fence is smooth and accurate but the 90 degree bevel stop is off, and a service visit did not fix it.

Worked on many job sites with units from brand new to heavily abused, and judged clearly better than a Bosch alternative, with a standout fence system.

Stable on grass, sand and concrete, with an easy fence; wishes for more rip capacity and a longer arbor, and plans to keep it even after buying a cabinet saw.

Recently bought after giving up on a sale, as an upgrade from an older 20 inch jobsite saw. Builds a few sets of kitchen cabinets a year, and calls the saw absolutely worth it, with dado ripping now possible.

A favorite that they love, crediting the rack and pinion fence and the weight; advises keeping the gearing clean since that wears first on jobsite saws.

Regrets choosing it and plans to move to a cabinet saw, saying jobsite saws lack accuracy and the small table makes crosscutting long boards a fight.
