Power & Motor

Both products are corded, run on 120 V, and draw 15 amps. In the U.S., standard residential circuits are 120 V, 15 A, which will support either of the table saws.

The DWE7491RS motor spins at 4800 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, so they don’t have a direct impact on the saw’s real-world capability to handle different material.

Blade Compatibility

Both saws take 10” diameter blades and have a 5/8” arbor. 10” is the most common diameter for table saw blades, so it should be no problem to find a wide variety of blades. Most 8-to-10” blades have a 5/8” arbor hole, so this size of arbor won’t limit your options.

Both products accept dado blades up to 13/16” thick.

Size & Capacity

Both table saws have 22” of rip capacity to the left of the blade. The DeWalt has 32 1/2” of rip capacity to the right side. The Metabo HPT has 35” of rip capacity to the right. Generally speaking, more rip capacity is better, but it typically also means a larger, heavier saw. Think about what types of rip cuts you’ll be making and choose the right size saw for you.

Both saws can bevel up to 45°, will cut up to 3 1/8” deep at a 90° angle, and are able to cut up to 2 1/4” at an angle of 45°.

The table on the DeWalt has a width of 26 3/8” and a depth of 21 7/8”. The table on the Metabo HPT has a width of 28 3/4” and a depth of 22”.
