Which Should You Buy?

DeWALT DWE7485RS-QS

The most compact full-featured table saw on the market. The 210mm blade and 1850W motor deliver serious cutting power in a package that's 30% smaller and lighter than 10" saws. The rack-and-pinion fence and rolling stand make it the ideal jobsite companion.

Pros

  • + Extremely compact and portable at 22 kg
  • + Rack & pinion telescoping fence
  • + Rolling stand included
  • + Powerful 1850W motor despite compact size

Cons

  • Smaller 210mm blade limits max cut depth
  • 24.5" rip capacity vs 32.5" on larger models
  • Not ideal for ripping thick hardwood stock

SawStop CTS-120A60

The safest table saw you can buy. SawStop's flesh-detection system stops the blade in milliseconds on contact. Premium build quality justifies the premium price.

Pros

  • + Flesh-detection safety system — truly life-saving
  • + Excellent build quality and precision
  • + Compact and relatively portable
  • + Quiet operation

Cons

  • Expensive — nearly double the price of competitors
  • Replacement cartridge costs ~$100 after activation
  • Smaller rip capacity than DeWALT
  • No stand included
