Power & Motor

The C10RJS is corded, requires 120 V, and draws 15 amps. In the U.S., standard residential circuits are 120 V, 15 A, which will support the.

The DCS7485T1 is cordless and runs on 60 V batteries.

The DCS7485T1 has a motor that spins at 5800 rpm and the C10RJS has a motor that spins at 4500 rpm. You shouldn’t get too caught up in the RPM numbers, since the manufacturers test them under ideal conditions, and they don’t have a direct correlation with the saw’s real-world ability to handle various types of material.

Blade Compatibility

Both table saws have a 5/8” arbor. The DCS7485T1 takes 8 1/4” diameter blades. The C10RJS accepts 10” diameter saw blades. 10” is a very common diameter of table saw blade, which means it shouldn’t be a problem to find a large assortment of blades to suit your needs. Most 8-to-10” blades have a 5/8” arbor hole, so this size of arbor maximizes blade compatibility.

The Metabo HPT takes dado blades up to 13/16” thick. The DCS7485T1 can’t accept dado blades. For woodworkers, this might be a major deficiency. If you might want to use dado blades, you may want to look at a different model.

Size & Capacity

The DeWalt can rip up to 24” of wood on the right of the blade and has 12” of rip capacity on the left side. The Metabo HPT has 35” of rip capacity on the right of the blade and has 22” of rip capacity on the left side. All else being equal, more 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 saws can bevel the blade up to 45°. The DCS7485T1 can cut up to 2 1/2” deep at 90° and will cut up to 1 3/4” at a 45° angle. The C10RJS is able to cut up to 3 1/8” deep at an angle of 90° and can cut up to 2 1/4” at 45°.

The table on the Metabo HPT is 28 3/4” wide and 22” deep.
