DEWALT DWE7485 15 Amp 8-1/4 in. Compact Portable Jobsite Table Saw

Rack-and-pinion telescoping fence rails help make fence adjustments smooth and precise, so you can set up cuts with control as you work through a project. The DEWALT DWE7485 pairs this adjustment system with a compact, portable design for jobsite and home use.

Its 24.5 in. rip capacity is designed for ripping 4x8 sheets of plywood or OSB. A 15 Amp motor and 8-1/4 in. blade make it a practical format for a range of common table-saw tasks.

Need a saw that can move between work areas without giving up sheet-ripping capacity? The DWE7485 combines transport-friendly size with features that keep key accessories close at hand.

Quick overview

The telescoping fence rails extend and retract to support quick fence positioning, while the Site-Pro Modular Guarding System allows tool-free adjustments to the guarding. That makes it easier to adapt the setup to the cut at hand. The included components are geared toward getting started with the saw: a fence, miter gauge, push stick, anti-kickback pawls, blade guard system, non-through-cut riving knife, blade, and blade-change wrenches.

A metal roll cage base is built for jobsite use, and onboard storage keeps the fence, guard, wrenches, and miter gauge with the saw between tasks. Its compact size also makes it easier to transport and store than a stationary shop setup. A power-loss reset helps prevent an accidental restart after a power interruption if the saw has been left switched on.

Customers often praise the saw’s accuracy, ease of use, and usefulness for home projects and smaller tasks. Their feedback also highlights its ability to handle sheet goods, including 4x8 material—work supported by the stated 24.5 in. rip capacity.

Tips for day-to-day use

For repeat cuts, position the rack-and-pinion fence to the desired width and use the miter gauge for guided crosscuts. Keep the push stick and guarding components accessible in their onboard storage so they are close by when needed. Before cutting, set up the included guarding components for the task and follow the saw’s operating instructions.

The compact format can suit a shared workspace: bring the saw out for a project, use the fence and storage features to keep the setup organized, then put it away when the work is done. Its capacity also gives you a way to rip plywood or OSB sheets without choosing a larger, stationary saw solely for that task.

Best use cases

This table saw suits jobsite work and home projects that call for controlled rip cuts, including breaking down 4x8 plywood or OSB sheets. The 24.5 in. rip capacity addresses sheet-material cuts, while the adjustable fence supports setting up cuts at different widths. For smaller projects, the included miter gauge and push stick add useful tools for guided cutting and material control.

It’s a great fit if you want a portable saw with sheet-ripping capacity and onboard storage, rather than a dedicated stationary setup. The metal roll cage base and compact design support moving it between work areas and storing it when the job is finished.

Final verdict

Choose the DEWALT DWE7485 for a practical combination of portability, 24.5 in. rip capacity, and straightforward fence adjustment. It is well suited to users who need a jobsite table saw for sheet goods and everyday project cuts, with key accessories stored on the saw and a guarding system designed for tool-free adjustment.
