Safety on Heavy Duty

Dewalt DW744X Table Saw: Unlike the DW745, the DW744X has a larger frame. But nevertheless it is a Portable Table Saw with a stand that can be folded. The best thing about the Dw744X is that it has been built with the same standard and excellent features that Dewalt usually provides to its larger and stationary Table Saws.

The DW744X is powerful. That is not exaggeration. It has a 15 ampere motor which runs the blade at 3,650 RPM. Unless the blade is withered, this Saw will cut through any wood that you feed it. The fence and pinion rails are the “best” quality. That is not just me saying, many users alike consider the DW744X to have the fencing system. There is also a modular guard system that both protects the user and maintains a smooth and easy operation of the Table Saw. The DW744X does not compromise with safety in any way. And like most top Table Saws, this machine has a dust port collection system.

Now the portability aspect of the DW744X is arguable. Yes it is a portable Table Saw, but it is relatively heavy. It has been already mentioned that it is the larger version of the DW745.

Petitely Startling

Ryobi 10” Portable Table Saw: Ryobi’s Table Saw is ultra portable. The most important reason for that is because it is small.

The Ryobi boasts a powerful 15 ampere motor that moves the Saw Blade at 5,000 RPM. Yes that certainly would cut almost anything.

The table of the Ryobi is strong and durable. It is small, but here is the best part: It can be extended to have a 30” rip capacity. That is indeed impressive.

The Saw has an efficient Dust Collection system that removes dust accumulation on the blade or on the table.

The machine is also lightweight which is to the user’s advantage because the machine serves the purpose of complete portability. In fact, the Ryobi is very much suited for homeowners interested in woodwork and carpentry.

Other specs of the saw include a 3” depth cut at 0 degrees and a 2 ½” depth cut at 45 degrees, a direct drive system, a 10” inch blade, Rip fence, Blade Guard Assembly, and a Miter Gauge.

A Gentle Beast

Jet JBTS-10MJS Table Saw: Heavy duty and Portable is what the Jet JBTS really is. Had it not been for the wheels, it would’ve been called a completely stationary and powerful high end Table Saw. It is built to produce results that can satisfy even the most demanding professionals. And despite its beastly power, it is a completely safe and easy machine to operate. Jet is loaded this Table Saw with a variety of features.

This Table Saw has a 15 Ampere motor with a blade run fast enough to make accurate cuts. Another good thing about the motor is that it does not make noise. In other words, the soft start feature of the Motor saves the users from any annoying noise and vibrations. The Anti-Kickback precautions are up to date with the European standards and hence provide full satisfaction to the user. The Quick Lock Fence system makes it easy to slide the fence allowing more precise and smooth cuts of wood. The Table is extendable with a maximum rip capacity of 25 inch width.

The controls of the machine are easy. Blade changes can be made using the arbor lock. The dust is collected in the dust collection port and does not affect the work of the user.
