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 DCS7485T1 is cordless and requires 60 V batteries.

The DCS7485T1 motor produces 5800 rpm and the DWE7491RS motor produces 4800 rpm. But don’t pay too much attention to these numbers, because the manufacturers measure them under no-load conditions, so they don’t have a strong impact on the saw’s real-world capability to handle different material.

Blade Compatibility

Both saws have a 5/8” arbor. The DCS7485T1 takes 8 1/4” diameter saw blades. The DWE7491RS accepts 10” diameter blades. Ten inches is the most common size for table saw blades, so you’ll be able to find a large variety of blades. Most 8-to-10” blades have a 5/8” arbor hole, so this size of arbor gives you a variety of options.

The DWE7491RS takes dado blades up to 13/16” thick. The DCS7485T1 doesn’t accept dado blades. If you’re a woodworker, this might be a major shortcoming. If you might want to use dado blades, you might want to look at a different model.

Size & Capacity

The DCS7485T1 can rip up to 24” of material on the right of the blade and has 12” of rip capacity on the left side. The DWE7491RS has 32 1/2” of rip capacity on the right and has 22” of rip capacity on the left side of the blade. Generally speaking, a larger rip capacity is better, but it often also means a larger (and heavier) saw. Think about how big of rip cuts you’ll be making to help choose the right size saw for you.

Both table saws can bevel up to 45°. The DCS7485T1 will cut up to 2 1/2” at 90° and can cut up to 1 3/4” deep at an angle of 45°. The DWE7491RS is able to cut up to 3 1/8” at a 90° angle and will cut up to 2 1/4” deep at 45°.

The table on the DWE7491RS is 26 3/8” wide and 21 7/8” deep.
