The DWE7491X combines a 15 amp motor and a 10 inch blade with a 32-1/2 inch rip capacity, a rack and pinion telescoping fence and a two position flip-over rip fence that supports narrow cuts. A dust collector helps capture sawdust. A scissor stand unfolds quickly and holds the saw at working height.
Compared with the DeWalt DWE7491RS it uses a scissor stand instead of a wheeled stand, which is more compact and faster to deploy. Against the Delta 36-6023 it has the same rip capacity and a more established fence. It is the best all around jobsite saw.
Check the fence parallel to the blade after transport. Keep the scissor stand hardware tight, and empty the dust collector often. Add an outfeed support for long boards, since the table is short.
