Consistent, Powerful Performance
Thanks to a 15 amp, high-torque motor, this DEWALT table saw delivers the power you need for tough jobs like cutting hardwood and pressure-treated lumber. The saw's 10-inch blade spins at a no-load speed of 3,650 rpm for quick, clean cuts. Built-in electronic feedback helps the saw maintain consistent blade speeds, so cut quality remains consistently high--even when you're tackling the toughest applications.

To ensure accuracy and user comfort, this saw features a heavy-duty internal motor mechanism that stabilizes the arbor and keeps vibration to a minimum. In addition, the saw's soft-start feature allows for extended gear and motor life by reducing start-up torque.

Convenient Site-Pro Modular Guarding System
The DEWALT versatile Site-Pro Modular Guarding System makes it easy to set up for a variety of applications by allowing tool-free adjustment of application-specific guarding components.

The saw's exclusive fence configuration enables a huge 24-1/2-inch rip capacity. Rack and pinion fence rails make fence adjustments fast, smooth, and accurate. The fence's telescoping design allows the rails to move out to 24 inches to rip full sheets of materials or be retracted for a compact design that's easy to transport.

In addition to offering large rip capacity, this saw can cut dados up to 13/16-inch wide. It features a maximum cut depth of 3-1/8 inches at 90 degrees and 2-1/4 inches at 45 degrees. And a big 26-1/2 by 19-1/4-inch table surface provides the support you need when working with large applications.

Compact, Portable Design
This DEWALT table saw weighs just 57 pounds which, along with the folding table saw stand, makes for easy setup and tear down. You can move it from your workshop to the worksite with ease.

For added convenience, on-board storage provides easy access to the Site-Pro Guarding components and the push stick when they're not in use. A handy 2-inch dust collection port allows you to connect the saw to a Shop-Vac for efficient dust extraction and a cleaner work area.

This 10-inch jobsite table saw with 24 inch max rip capacity also comes with a DEWALT warranty package that includes a three-year limited warranty, a one-year free service contract, and a 90-day money-back guarantee.

Manufacturer's Notice

The pivot bracket on the saw can separate which can misalign the blade and the fence and cause kick back. This poses a laceration hazard to consumers. http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml08/08259.html

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor rack and pinion design December 28, 2010

By J. Hagen

Color Name:NA

I have owned this saw for 3 years and I have constantly had to make adjustments to the rack and pinion "pillow blocks" that hold the rod, they are nothing but plastic in thin sheet metal and are prone to bending to the point where the fence will be 1/8" off from one end to another. DeWalt went super cheap on materials when making this saw, they should have used a hardened rod (one that won't flex) to hold the gears and they should have used solid aluminum with bronze bushings for the pillow blocks. This saw is very frustrating to use every time I go out with it. I used to use an old Makita with the simple fence and as long as I have to check the blade every time with a tape on the DeWalt saw, it makes it no better than anything else out there. Good tools were once made in the USA, not anymore. :(

4.0 out of 5 stars Dewalt 744 recall February 22, 2008

By Ed Tidoz

Color Name:NA

I bought a 744 after trying out the 745 and decided I would like the larger fence. The 744 I received from an online source (Tyler Tools) had a serious blade wobble and when set at 45 deg. the blade would contact the plate. The box it was shipped in looked as if it been hit by a semi! I called the Dewalt center (Seattle for me) and they traded me for a brand new model which works flawlessly. They told me some versions of the 744x are on recall so watch out. I haven't found any information online about the recall except for a posting in Australia. Had I not been near a Dewalt center I would have been hit with some serious shipping costs so be careful before you order a 744x.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good but not brilliant. July 7, 2009

By Toolking

Color Name:NA

I bought this saw primarily as a job site saw but it has seen some service in the workshop as well. It is ideally a two man lift not so much because of the weight but because it's awkward to man handle on your own, owing to the large table. I also purchased the additional outfeed and side supports which are great but they also add weight to the saw which have made it even heavier. As i work on my own the additional 30 inches of outfeed support has to be balanced against the extra weight.

The saw sits securely on the stand and has all the power anyone should need in a contractor saw. The rack and pinion fence is excellent and the best on the market in my opinion. I place the fence on the right hand side of the blade so the rip scale is set for me, anyone who sets the fence on the left will have to use their tape measure. The rip scale was out by a 1/16 of an inch and the fence was a 1/32 of an inch out of parallel with the blade. The mitre gauge seems as on all contractor saws to have been a bit of an after thought, there is a 1/16 of an inch of slop between the gauge bar and the gauge slots. This is not a huge issue for me as i rarely use it, when i do use the mitre gauge i push against the side of the mitre slot nearest the blade when making a cut.

There is onboard storage for spare blades and blade spanners, it's a pity Dewalt couldn't have included a cord wrap and onboard storage for the mitre gauge. There is an aluminum shield with a rubber extension which covers the bottom of the blade underneath the saw, this seemed to be holding the sawdust and overheating the motor. I removed it, it might be intended to be left in place if a shop-vac were attached to the dust port. I also removed the blade guard and the riving knife, these imo are workshop acessories.

The threaded bar that is attached to the handle that raises and lowers the blade is exposed, hence the threads get clogged with saw dust. Making it almost impossible to raise and lower the blade, i modified a piece of plastic tubing with a slightly larger diametre than the threaded bar by slitting it down the middle and slipping it over the bar. This has kept the saw dust off.

In conclusion i would'nt advise someone working jobsites on their own to buy this saw, it's just a bit too heavy and awkward. Ideally i'd leave the DW744 in the workshop and buy the DW745 which has the same size motor but with a reduced rip capacity and hence smaller table.

Just a little update on the above, the fence on my saw has a tendancy to drift towards the back of the blade which burns my stock as it clears the blade. This always seems to happen no matter how many times i re-adjust the fence. There are two 10mm bolts under the fence at the back of the table which need to be loosened to adjust the fence for parrallel. I recently went to re-adjust the fence and ended up tightening the bolts when i should have been loosening them, this sometimes happens when the bolt heads are facing down rather than up. I stripped out the threads in the bolt housings which unfortunatly are part of the cast table. I took the saw to the service centre and they gave me three options, thread locking compound, a new table, or a new saw. I choose the tread locking compound as a temporary fix, a new table will cost me 250 Euro. Expensive mistake.
