- I think it's a good table saw for the price considering size, weight and portability.
- Weight isn't too bad for a saw of this size, and the handle is well placed.
- It's surprisingly stable for it's weight and size.
- I like the small size and the weight is such that I can carry it to where I need it.
- The weight of the saw is manageable, and I have no issues carrying it around as needed.
- Weight of this unit isn't bad but the overall size make it a little bit more difficult to move around than say a table top saw.
- Very portable and light weight. Accurate fence.
- Works great. Light weight. Sometimes it rocks some when trying to rip a 4x8 sheet of plywood yourself
- It's light weight and plastic base allow for much easier transportation (my 64b takes two strong backs to even pick up and move...the Bosch takes one hand).
- The thing is HUGE so the Bosch had to win the remaining three by far for me to afford not only the price difference but the outside US shipping cost difference. This is by far bigger than the Dewalt
- Cuts are fast and accurate and the rack and pinion fence is smooth and right on the money with any adjustments. Nice.
- It cuts very accurately and has great adjustment points to fine tune the rip fence.
- The riving knife keeps cuts straight and prevents wood separating from the fence like some other saws I have used.
- Pretty easy to make adjustments on depth and cutting angle.
- Awesome saw. Very easy to change settings like blade depth, angle, and rip dimension. Really a great addition to my shop.
- The safety guard is a little bulky and cumbersome. It makes cutting a little more tedious. I decided to remove mine and store it ...
- The Bosch blade that it comes with was removed and replaced with a Freud. The saw cut like a hot knife through butter and I am very pleased with the overall performance. The miter gauge is a little sloppy in the miter tracks.
- The fence is square to the blade, and is rock solid, as long as you make sure the nut at the back of the fence is set right.
- t comes with a 40-tooth blade which is fine for ripping; if you plan to do woodworking that requires a cleaner cut be sure to buy an appropriate blade. Blade installation is simple.
- Fence is extremely accurate. I usually verify with a tape to ensure cut is square from front to back of fence, but more often than not this step is unnecessary.
- Con....the table is a bit small giving you roughly 8" from the edge to the blade to work with. I made a crosscut jig for it for my box joints. but could realistically only make it 6" wide.
- One of the great features is the thoughtfulness of the design to store all the components. The guard, push, and guide all are stored on the saw so that there is little chance of losing them.
- The rack and pinion adjustment on the fence is a really nice feature that makes setup really fast. Good jobsite saw.
- The instructions and safety features make it a stable tool and easy to use.
- The rip fence adjustment and lock. It works so smoothly. I've used fences where they can wiggle out of place as you're locking them; the dw745 does not.
- The surface coating isn't very durable (seems only cosmetic).
- The instructions for the saw are pretty vague on how to place all the accessories in the saw when finished.
- Very good dust collection. A Craftsman shop vac is all I have connected to the dust port and I'm fairly happy with this saw's ability NOT to kick wood dust back up into the air.
- I also love all the safety features - riving knife, anti-kickback pawls, large easy-to-reach power button, nice push stick, and a dust collection port that is positioned out of the user's way.
- Features are clever including the fence measurement gage when the right table is extended.
- The safety features are so easy to install on and off, there is no reason not to keep them in place.
- The features for the rip fence are good; the registration and accuracy is completely acceptable for my work. Paired with the Bosch miter saw that I own, I have no excuse for not getting the job done - well.
