Power & Motor

The DWE7491RS is corded, runs on 120 V, and draws 15 amps. Standard U.S. residential circuits are 120 V, 15 A, which will support the.

The DCS7485 is cordless and runs on 60 V batteries.

The DCS7485 motor spins at 5800 rpm and the DWE7491RS motor spins at 4800 rpm. Dont get too caught up in these numbers, since the manufacturers measure them under ideal conditions, and they dont have a meaningful impact on the saws real-world ability to handle different material.

Blade Compatibility

Both saws have a 5/8 arbor. The DCS7485 accepts 8 1/4 diameter blades. The DWE7491RS takes 10 diameter blades. 10 is the most common diameter for table saw blades, so it shouldnt be a problem to find a huge variety of blades. Most 8-to-10blades have a 5/8arbor hole, so this size arbor maximizes blade compatibility.

The DWE7491RS accepts dado blades up to 13/16 thick. The DCS7485 doesnt accept dado blades. For woodworkers, this might be a significant deficiency. If you anticipate wanting to use dado blades, you might want to look at a different model.

Size & Capacity

The DCS7485 has 24 of rip capacity to the right side of the blade and has 12 of rip capacity to the left. The DWE7491RS has 32 1/2 of rip capacity to the right side of the blade and has 22 of rip capacity to the left. All else being equal, more rip capacity is better, but it typically also means a larger, heavier saw. Think about what types of rip cuts youll be making and choose the right size saw for you.

The DCS7485 can cut up to 2 1/2 at a 90° angle and can cut up to 1 3/4 deep at a 45° angle. The DWE7491RS can bevel the blade up to 45°, can cut up to 3 1/8 at a 90° angle, and can cut up to 2 1/4 deep at a 45° angle.

The table on the DCS7485 has a width of 22 3/4 and a depth of 22 3/4. The table on the DWE7491RS has a width of 26 3/8 and a depth of 21 7/8.
