Power & Motor

The DW745 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 DCS7485T1 is cordless and runs on 60 V batteries.

The DCS7485T1 motor spins at 5800 rpm and the DW745 motor spins at 3850 rpm. Dont get too caught up in these numbers, since the manufacturers measure them under ideal conditions, meaning they dont have a direct impact on the saws real-world capacity to handle different material.

Blade Compatibility

Both products have a 5/8 arbor. The DCS7485T1 takes 8 1/4 diameter blades. The DW745 accepts 10 diameter blades. 10 is the most common diameter for table saw blades, so it shouldnt be a problem to find a wide variety of blades for any purpose. Most 8-to-10blades have a 5/8arbor hole, so this size arbor wont limit your options.

Neither product can handle dado blades. If youre a woodworker, this might be a significant shortcoming. If you anticipate wanting to use dado blades, consider loooking at a different model.

Size & Capacity

Both table saws have 12 of rip capacity to the left of the blade. The DCS7485T1 has 24 of rip capacity to the right side. The DW745 has 20 of rip capacity to the right. All else being equal, a larger rip capacity is better, but it typically also means a larger and heavier saw. Think about what types of rip cuts youll be making and choose the right size saw for you.

Both saws can bevel up to 45°. The DCS7485T1 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 DW745 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°.
