How to use a JOBSITE Table Saw for FINE WOODWORKING Projects

UPDATE! A winner has been chosen and notified! Congrats! Thanks again to The Home Depot for making this possible!

I love that you use an affordable jobsite table saw, unlike other channels that use expensive cabinet saws. Using the more affordable tools makes videos more relatable to newer woodworkers.

I used a cheap, crappy saw for years. When I finally got the current version of this saw, I was almost brought to tears by how awesome the rack and pinion fence system is.

You are a fantastic presenter. Plenty of detail. No waffling. Natural delivery… I don't know how much scripting you do beforehand or if you're just especially gifted, but your delivery is top notch.

I have the DWE7491 and I love It! My shop isn't very big and the ability to fold it up and roll it in a corner is a plus. I too have a problem with my crosscut sled binding and the sandpaper trick will be a big help. So far I have found no limitations on what I can build with this saw vs a more expensive shop saw.

Thanks for addressing all the “under-gunned” issues all of us working with jobsite saws run up against, and most importantly, showing us how to conquer them successfully. The details and tips really make possible to punch above our weight level.

Started woodworking on a budget two years ago with this same saw, and it was your videos that showed me how I could really expand what I could do with just a jobsite saw. Managed to build an built-in 8ft x 12ft cabinet/bookshelf/media center with this little guy. I'd been eyeing the upgraded version since a dado stack and more than 20" rip width would certainly speed up and increase safety on my next project building closet and pantry organization. Thanks for all the great tips, project ideas, and hopefully $1000 HD card!

This is the most informative and educationally sound video for woodworking I have seen in a loooong time. No fluff, no filler. You really know that table saw. Great tips and so helpful to tight budgets. Thank you!

You do have to spend some time setting the saw up... blade, fence, etc. But once done, the saw is great. Fairly compact which is Nice youtube.com/post/UgkxXh-4_3-ZT1fFWP91ZV7iVqzElr0lE… I did get an Incra Miter Gauge which takes some setup as well. The stock miter gauge can be adjusted in the miter slot with a little painter's tape... this tightens up the side to side play a lot.

One of the best reviews I ever watched. No nonsense or music. Straight to the point, thorough and very informative. Thank you.

I've had many different table saws over the years, even a Swiss made Inca saw, but now in my retirement I'm happy to use this same saw that you've featured here. It really does everything I need it too and watching your video, I've learned a few tweaks that will make it even more useful. The best thing I like about this saw is it's portability. I do all my power tool cutting outside and have a mobile workbench that the saw fits into. Moving it in and out of my workspace is easy. Ultimately, that means I'm a fair weather woodworker now, but it also means that all the sawdust stays out of my indoor space. I have many projects on the go, but my next one will be re-building a side yard gate. Great video quality btw. Keep up the good work!

I know this video has been up for a while but just wanted to thank you as this answers pretty much all my questions being completely new to woodworking but looking to get into making furniture. I picked up a used Dewalt 745 earlier this week and will definitely get way better results with it thanks to you.

while watching this i am thinking of all the skills i’ve gained thanks to the youtube community. as cynical as i have become to how frustrating the internet can be now with the over-saturation of marketing- it’s not lost on me you don’t have to make these videos, and that certain creators like yourself have become one of the few trusted spaces i can come for information i need. i mean to say; thank you for the time you put into this.

I've had this exact saw for a long time, and didn't know about squaring up the fence using those set screws. Thank you so much for sharing your insights on this amazing Dewalt tool! 😊

I recently purchased today's version of your 10" DeWalt saw (they say imitation is the sincerest form of flatter) and, using your plans, built the miter sled. Next project is to build the outfeed table presented in one of your earlier videos. Huge fan.....I recommend your videos to my fellow woodworker students...even us petite women can build great things!

As I started out my new hobby, I bought the very same saw based on your success with it and noticed the same issue with the miter slots--I chalked it up to bad luck on my part in getting a wonky tabletop and worked my way through it with tricks similar to what you did. It's so relieving to know I wasn't cursed! Thanks for all your inspiring content!

I've had this saw for four years, and I learned things I didn't know - the adjustable 90 deg and 45 degree stops for example. Thanks! Great video.

Great video as usual Tamar. I wanted to thank you for you clear, concise, and down to earth delivery with all that you do. While I enjoy watching the proverbial "heavy hitters" of the trade, I do so mostly with the mindset of "someday". It is a huge relief and quite inspiring to watch someone who reassures me it can be "today". As someone who has been at the craft for awhile and built my skillset on used, rebuilt, broken and repaired, only-good-for-the-dumpster tools, it is certainly a breath of fresh-air to see someone who isn't pushing the $5k tablesaw or $1.2k joiner ect. But instead, someone who is skilled enough to show you what can be done with reasonable equipment and determination. I thank you and much respect. My next project is a complete kitchen cabinet build for our new kitchen remodel. It is a daunting project for me, but it is the only way to make the budget work to give my wife her dream kitchen. $1k could certainly go a long way in achieving that for her. Thank you for your generosity, and keep being who you are, and I will for sure keep watching amd learning.

I just started getting into woodworking when I moved into my new house in October. Your videos have been a huge inspiration as I've started learning and growing in this awesome hobby! My next project is to build a custom standup desk for my office, to match my own unique stature. I've been frustrated in this project because the joinery needed has seemed beyond my limited tools. In particular a decent table or track saw has seemed beyond my reach. This video has shown me that not only do I not need a super expensive table saw to get the effects I'm looking for (something your videos have shown again and again), but how to get a contractor jobsite saw to do the job right! Thank you So much!! The giftcard would really come in handy! I'd plan on buying a table saw (like the one you've been using and demonstrating in this video) and the rest of the materials for this project.

I have owned this saw for about 4 years and love it. I have used it a lot but when I just watched this video you taught me half a dozen things that I didn’t know and which will enhance my use of the saw enormously. Love your work. Thanks.
