ETAF Posted October 16, 2020 Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 I'm thinking of getting the DWE7845 240V in November, when back in stock , seems some new regulation (UL (safety standards org)) from 2019 ratio of blade v table means that more 210mm models will appear and less 10" 250mm , most of the cheaper dewalt 10" models seem to have been discontinued, as a DIYer the DWE7491/2 are just out of my budget at almost twice the price of the DWE7485 model , even though a 250mm blade would be useful as i have that on my Mitre saw and various Freud blades. I wondered how people are getting on with the machine, a lot of reviews / youtube, look good. I wondered about the riving knife which is 1.6mm Thickness and how people worked with other makes of blade like saxton or freud/diablo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
framer Posted October 16, 2020 Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 well, i have the cordless version of that saw with the 8.25 blade. perhaps a very minor complaint would be the smaller blades are harder to find, but the oem blade has been good.

ETAF Posted October 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 Thanks for that info, Glad its worked ok for you, and you have found the saw to be good, and only have an issue with availability of blades I was looking at the cordless, BUT as a diyer, I don't think i need this advantage nor the cost of flexvolt batteries, i only have 18V batteries, The saw I think is the same 240V v 54V apart from Motor Yes i noticed the smaller 210mm blade are not available everywhere, not sure what country you are in but in UK i find Saxton blades to be good and affordable. However the riving tool on the dewalt DWE7845 is 1.6mm thick and my understanding is that the riving tool needs to be smaller then kerf but larger than body of blade. I only see the Dewalt Extreme blades to be this thin and expensive 1.3mm blade 1.8mm Kerf on the 24T supplied with the machine. Saxton do a professional range 210mm 30mm 1.5mm blade 2.3mm Kerf 40T & 80T on my mitre saw using a 250mm blade, i saw a big difference between the dewalt OEM 40T blade and the Freud 60T & 80T blades Also I have Saxton blades for the dewalt cordless Circular saw , Saxton Specialist Blade 48T 1.5mm Kerf 165mm is very very good. I also have the Freud blade less teeth needed as diameter is smaller, 165mm 40T is about the same as a 250mm 60T 13mm/T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
