The DWE7491RS has a 15 amp motor turning at 4,800 rpm, a 10 inch blade and a 32-1/2 inch rip capacity, enough to rip full sheets of plywood in half. A rack and pinion telescoping fence makes adjustments fast, smooth and accurate. A foldable rolling stand makes it easy to move between a shop and a site.
Its patented material support helps with narrow rips, and a two position flip-over fence handles different thicknesses. Compared with the Bosch GTS15-10 at 32-1/8 inches it has slightly more capacity and a longer track record. Against the Skil SPT99-11 it is lighter and less heavy duty.
A portable saw like this needs regular fence checks, because transport can shift the alignment. Keep the table waxed and the rack clean, and use a push stick. Use a 24 tooth ripping blade for hardwood and a 40 tooth combination blade for plywood.
