This is a technique I was thinking about doing (I didn't the other day as I was tuning my saw late the other night to be ready for work on Sat morning).

I'll give this a go and see how it turns...

Honestly, the fence is the best aspect of the saw. Strong, versatile and extremely easy to dial in.

The only negative I have about this saw is the noise, but you can't do much about that given...

Yeah, I see no gaps when using my square against the table and blade, but given it's so hard to set an accurate angle on this saw given the way you have to dial it in, I wasn't sure if I was being...

I've done this. I've used the square against the table and the face of the blade to reference a 90, but figured a digital gauge in addition to that would be more accurate.

My issue was I couldn't...

This sounds like it’s good so I’m going to assume I’m good.

I’ve done this to align my blade to the mitre slots as well as the fence to the mitre slots too. I used my square to reference square but assumed a digital gauge would be more accurate?

Im...

If you have any questions let me know and I’ll let you know how I’ve gone with it.

I think I get what you’re saying, but if I’m using one of these, doesn’t it avoid the issue?

I’m probably being pedantic, but chasing perfection is something I probably spend too much time on in the shop when it’s probably not always necessary. But as my shop space is tiny (it’s just my...

I’ve got my saw on my portable cart, which I doubt is a perfect flat bed, hence why I’ve got my gauge just on the blade and not touching the table in the chance the table isn’t flat.

My logic was...

Hi guys

Ive got myself a DeWalt DW745 tablesaw. I’m still fairly new to the whole game so forgive me if this is a dumb question, but how close is close enough when getting a table saw exactly 90...

Cool, I'll definitely look into this. Thanks for the info, mate.

Thanks for the info, mate. Might look at a similar setup.

I'm assuming this is the one from your picture?
...

Thanks for this post, Paul.

For a dummy like me, why do you still have the vacuum connected to the dust bin? Is it to draw the dust from the saw to the bucket? What piping do you have that...

I don't recall where the noise was coming from. I'll check next time I give it a run. As for the noise, to my ears at least, it didn't sound like it got any louder when cutting.

It was very loud,...

If you find a way to compress the noise via a method like this, I'm all ears. Would be huge.

The only thing to think about if you were to line the inner workings of your saw with foam is the heat of the motor against the foam, particularly if you encase the saw in a makeshift cabinet.

I'm not sure it's possible for a saw not to generate so much dust. It may just seem like so much dust given the ease you have when ripping through timber.

Previously, I was cutting everything by...

A quiet weekend with many hours planned in the garage quickly turned into a busy one with limited time to actually have a play with the saw.

I did give it a run though, just not as extensive as I...

So I picked up the DeWalt from Bunnings tonight. Didn't give it a run as it was past 7 when I got it home - will run it tomorrow.

From what I could see though, the table was level, the blade and...

My first ever cut on a table saw was on one of these. My mate has one.

The price point is definitely the major advantage to this saw, but it's actually quite big and takes up a bit of room. As...

Thanks Bohdan and Sam. Valuable information. Makes sense that it would be, as from what I've read, most Australian homes are fitted with 10amp outlets. Why sell a power tool that wouldn't cope with...

I've got a few electrician mates that could sort me out if it definitely requires a different outlet of sorts. Hopefully, as you say, a standard 10 amp socket can handle it. That would be ideal.

Possibly a dumb question, but how does one test this? The DeWalt is a 15 amp saw, compared to the Ryobi which is 10 amps, but I have no idea the amps of my circuit.

My first post on this site (page 1 of this thread), I said the DeWalt was too expensive and would get the Ryobi. After the last 2 posts, I now want to get the DeWalt, and will lol. Going to Bunnings...

Hey mate

Yeah, I’ve read some terrible reviews online about the Ozito models from Bunnings, so much so that I won’t be getting one of those.

Bunnings’ selection is big, but at least I can go...

I'd be interested to see the responses in this thread, as I plan on buying my first ever table saw this weekend (likely from Bunnings).

As I'm a beginner, I'd love the DeWalt, but can't justify...
