DEWALT DWE7480 Table Saw:

The DEWALT DWE7480 is the ideal table saw for anyone looking for portability without compromising on the power needed to handle even the toughest tasks. Despite its light weight and small stature, the DWE7480 packs more than enough punch thanks to its powerful motor and 10-inch cutting blade, while the saw’s extendable 24-inch rip capacity allows you to cut larger sheets just as readily as smaller items.

The DWE7480 is one of the most simple yet effective and well-made table saws on the market, and it’s ideally suited to anyone from beginner hobbyists to professional tradespeople as a result.

The primary source of the DEWALT DWE7480’s superior cutting capabilities is its powerful 15-amp, 4800 RPM motor, and this helps the table saw pack cut through even the toughest of hardwoods despite its small size. The cutting blade itself also plays a crucial part, and this is a 10-inch, 24-tooth carbide blade in the case of the DWE7480.

Carbide is becoming an increasingly popular choice thanks to its ability to provide more precise cuts versus steel blades, and given that it benefits from better long-term durability meaning you’ll save money from replacing blades less often. Carbide blades can also cut through more robust materials that would usually destroy conventional cutting blades, giving you the peace of mind that the DWE7480 will be able to handle whatever you throw at it.

Power is just one aspect of a useful table saw, however. Just as necessary is the flexibility to handle a variety of cuts, and the DWE7480 makes this possible thanks to the fact that the blade can be adjusted between 0-45 degrees to handle more complex cutting requirements (see image below).

The DWE7480 table saw’s surface also features a reduced-friction coating to help ensure whatever woodworking material you’re cutting can glide smoothly across the surface, helping improve the accuracy and quality of your cuts.

There are several features which help make the DEWALT DWE7480 as simple to use as possible. The first is the innovative Site-Pro Modular Guarding System which allows for tool-free adjustment of the guarding components depending on what is most appropriate for each type of cut. Not only does this ensure that the table saw is as safe as possible to use, but it allows for quick and convenient modifications to the saw to reduce preparation time between cuts.

The DWE7480’s fencing rails also pay a significant part in reducing preparation time. The fence sits on a rack and pinion telescoping system (see image below), allowing for quick adjustments on the fly while still helping you to achieve as accurate a cut as possible.

Want to save even more time and effort? Don’t worry; the DEWALT DWE7480 has got you covered. Thanks to the table saw’s built-in dust port, you can maintain a clean worksite/workshop while you cut – simply attach a 2-1/2″ vacuum hook up and all of that messy sawdust will be taken care of mid-operation without any fuss or hassle.

The DWE7480 table saw feels all the more sturdy thanks to its metal sub-section frame, which helps it retain structural rigidity while also helping to fend off damage from any bumps, scrapes, or knocks that it experiences on the job site or in the workshop. The metal frame is a welcome addition versus other table saws that feature plastic frames, and it’s just one more way that the DEWALT DWE7480 offers exceptional value for money. Don’t worry about this having a knock-on effect on weight either, as the unit still only weighs 48 lbs overall.

While the rip may be smaller than other table saws, this is a sacrifice that’s well worth making when you consider just how compact and portable the table saw is (a 24″ rip capacity isn’t exactly small though, and you’ll be able to make large enough cuts to ensure that this table saw is a welcome addition to your tool arsenal!).

Overall, the DWE7480’s small size means that you can easily store it while not in use, or you could choose to leave it out continuously given that it won’t take up much space on a workshop countertop. Need to transport it to a job? No problem. The compact size of the table saw will allow it to fit into the majority of vehicles without issue, and its light weight makes carrying it much more manageable.

There’s no need to worry about less than perfect site conditions either, as the DWE7480 features adjustable feet on the rear of the unit to help ensure it sits level even on uneven surfaces. Simple!

The DEWALT DWE7480 provides the ideal mix of convenience, power, and affordability.

It’s simple enough that beginners won’t be intimidated or put-off, yet powerful enough and packed with enough impressive features to make it a serious contender as one of the go-to power tools for a professional tradesperson. Throw in DEWALT’s stellar reputation for designing and manufacturing quality, affordable power tools, and you certainly can’t go wrong with the DWE7480 table saw.
