Power & Motor

The C10RJS is corded, runs on 120 V, and draws 15 amps. In the U.S., standard 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 C10RJS motor spins at 4500 rpm. Don’t get too caught up in these numbers, since the manufacturers measure them under ideal conditions, and they don’t have a direct impact on the saw’s real-world ability to handle different material.

Blade Compatibility

Both table saws have a 5/8” arbor. The DCS7485 takes 8 1/4” diameter blades. The C10RJS accepts 10” diameter blades. 10” is a very common diameter for table saw blades, which means it won’t be a problem to find a large variety of blades. Most 8-to-10” blades have a 5/8” arbor hole, so this size arbor maximizes blade compatibility.

The Metabo HPT takes dado blades up to 13/16” thick. The DeWalt can’t accept dado blades. For woodworkers, this might be a significant deficiency. If you might want to use dado blades, you may want to look at a different model.

Size & Capacity

The DeWalt has 24” of rip capacity to the right of the blade and has 12” of rip capacity to the left side. The Metabo HPT has 35” of rip capacity to the right and has 22” of rip capacity to the left side of the blade. In general, a larger rip capacity is better, but it typically also means a larger and heavier saw. Think about what types of rip cuts you’ll be making and choose the right size saw for you.

The DCS7485 is able to cut up to 2 1/2” deep at an angle of 90° and can cut up to 1 3/4” at 45°. The C10RJS can bevel the blade up to 45°, will cut up to 3 1/8” deep at a 90° angle, and is able to cut up to 2 1/4” at an angle of 45°.

The table on the DeWalt has a width of 22 3/4” and a depth of 22 3/4”. The table on the Metabo HPT has a width of 28 3/4” and a depth of 22”.
