Thread: DEWALT DW745 table saw

The sheets I cut are not very big and I use recycle wood from different factories. That is why I do not need a large and heavy table saw.

Yesterday I bought that little Dewalt from Bunnings. Actually it is not little at all. I found both 1850W and 2000W Dewalt saws at Just Tools and compared them in the shop. I found that 2000W saw is too big for my garage and my particular task. They had 1850W saw for $790 plus a bonus blade.
Then I traveled to Bunnings and talked to the tool section manager. I asked him what was the reason they increased the cost of that saw from $745 to $845 just overnight. By the way there was a man from Dewalt at Bunnings and I asked him as well about that saw. He stated that Dewalt didn't increase any price at all.
Then I showed to the manager of Bunnings the cost of that saw at Just Tools. He called to another boss and they bit Just Tolls price by 10%. So, I had that saw for around $710.

I took it home and unpacked. I watched a few U tube videos before, so it took me no more then 15-20 minutes to assemble everything. The main question was about the noise. I plugged it in and switched on. The noise was absolutely terrible and even louder then I expected. But I will use it maximum of up to 1 hour a day, so I hope my neighbors wouldn't kill me.
Tomorrow I will need to buy an adapter to connect this saw to the dust extractor. Also I need to find a good blade as this saw comes with a basic D254 mm X 24T ripping blade. Probably I need a blade with 60-80T or maybe even 100. I will need to cut double sided laminated 15-20mm MDF or chipboard. Any suggestions ?
That's my first table saw, so I need to learn and learn.
