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
Makita MLT100N
Built like a tank. The Makita 2705 is heavier but more rigid than jobsite saws, making it ideal for a permanent shop setup. Excellent cut quality.
Pros
- + Extremely rigid cast aluminum table
- + Very smooth, precise cuts
- + Electric brake stops blade in seconds
- + Wide miter gauge slots
Cons
- − No stand included
- − Heavy — not truly portable
- − Fence could be improved
- − Higher price for features offered
