Wish the table was machined, but the coating that they applied works well. Great saw for contractors and home woodworkers.
Lee, and on. I noticed that the blade would rub, and that everything adjustable was out. Amazon was exceptional and stood to make this sale a great one. I really like the DW744 table saw. Thanks Amazon. The saw was missing the screws and shims that hold the saw blade guard. Rick Brown
Dewalt was my number 2 choice. This saw should rate 4.5 to 5, but due to complications and Dewalts lack of technical help, I rate it at 3. The reconditioning was a joke but the saw is very good. Price made the differance. Now the saw cuts great, is light weight, Powerful, and accurate.
I compared the major brands, Makita, Dewalt, Hitachi, Craftsman, Delta, I compared price at Lowe's, Home Depot, Guy C. Adjustments made were to rip fence, rack and pinion gears and rails, motor, and angle. I ordered the Dewalt744r, delivery was quick and free. My top choice is always Makita. Amazon is my favorite vendor.
I think Dewalt needs alittle better quality control. I own many reconditioned Dewalt tools that I use on a daily basis and have never thought twice about purchasing another reconditioned tool until I recived this saw. Every adjustment possible was out, the fence was not even close to being parallel, the pinion gear had to be removed and rotated three teeth, the blade wouldn't spin, it was hitting the table insert.
It only does this when I cause it to happen. It works well but will sometimes slip a gear notch on one side and have to be lined up again. Diducted one star because of the fince being a little less than I usually expect from Dewalt.
I went with the 744R (reconditioned $299) and glad I did. Added the bosch protable stand, almost a necessity. I was debating the smaller protable saw 50 lbs but noticed that it was not set up for the fence to cut 24 inches for a plywood sheet.
I take it where I want by myself. In fact now that I know what not to do it doesnt happen. Came like new.This is a great saw.
No lightweight 70lbs.
