If you have just purchased the DW746, you are just now realizing that the stamped wings that come with he saw are flimsy and useless. The heavy-duty cast iron extension wing is you best solution, unless you are going to purchase the sliding table or other aftermarket table extension. The wing comes coated with some anti-rust coating that was fairly easy to remove with mineral spirits and some rubbing. You should remove the anti-rust coating prior to installation, because the wing may not install properly. Installation was easy, three bolts included with the wing. I found the wing to be very flat 1/64-1/100, front to back and side-to-side deviation. It has a much more solid feel and no play or give like the stamped wings.

I recommend the cast wing upgrade to the saw completely.

This review is from: DEWALT DW7462 Table Saw Cast-Iron Extension Wing (Tools & Home Improvement)

I've had my DW746 saw for a month and used it pretty heavily. I bought one extension wing when I got the saw and installed it on the left side fo the blade (the extension wing can fit on either side). I used the stamped steel wing on the right side. The extension wing set fairly easily. It took me about 30 minutes to level everything to less than 0.005 inches. I did have to use a shim for one of the three bolt holes, but it was not hard to do. The instructions recommend two people do the installation becaue the wing is heavy, but I was able to do it myself without too much trouble. The extension wing is very solid and I've noticed no movement relative to the main table in a month of heavy use. I have only two gripes. First, I wish I'd bought two wings, instead of one. Second, I do not know what to do with the stamped steel wing it replaced. The stamped steel wing is a big piece of metal and probably weighs ten pounds. I hate to see it wasted.

Since I don't have the need for the sliding table accessory, I bought a couple of these for my saw. The added weight of the two cast iron wings really dampen any vibration that it may have had with the stamped steel wings. Add to this a segmented drive belt and it definitely passes the standing nickel test!
Although it takes patience to level them, it's time well spent and you have a first-rate table saw that rivals most cabinet saws and for a lot less.
