Mr. Yellow Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 TOWSON, Md. – April 28, 2014 – DEWALT® introduces the new DWE7499GD jobsite table saw with the Guard Detect™ feature. The DWE7499GD is the fourth model in DEWALT’s new line of jobsite table saws. The guard on the DWE7499GD table saw must be installed in its proper position for the unit to be turned on, or the user must activate an override switch to use the unit without the guard installed. When the guard is not in its proper position, an LED light flashes to warn the user of that condition. “DEWALT developed the Guard Detect feature to further enhance our safety warnings to use the guard whenever it can be used,” says Jason Ducker, Product Manager, DEWALT. “Guard Detect requires user interaction with the tool and the user’s awareness of the guard position before they perform cutting applications.” The DWE7499GD also includes a no-volt switch which maintains the unit in the off condition, when power is lost, until the user activates the switch. Also included is a 2 ¼” dust collection port on the table saw that can connect to a shop vacuum for efficient dust collection*. The rolling stand on the DWE7499GD allows it to be easily stored and transported on and off the jobsite, and the innovative fence design provides 32 ½” rip capacity that allows a variety of wide shelving and trim materials to be easily cut. This table saw also includes a 15-Amp motor capable of the cutting performance that professional users need and demand. The DWE7499GD weighs 90 lbs. with the stand. The DWE7449GD jobsite table saw will retail for $749.00, will come standard with a three-year limited warranty, one-year free service contract, and 90-day money-back guarantee, and will be available in April wherever DEWALT products are sold. *An adaptor and shop vacuum (sold separately) may be required.

ChrisK Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 It does look nice. I just can't past that color though..... Just kidding! Looks pretty slick Mr. yellow. By chance do you have any experience with their new dual bevel miter? I'm in the market for one and Bosch has been a real contender....not so sure I can afford Kapex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regopit Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 I'm glad that I have and older model, That guard detect crap would drive me crazy. If I want to put my fingers in danger dam it that's what I'm going to do.I'm responsible for my safety not DeWalt. When they do something like this it just makes me want to pick up one Mother Fer and beat another Mother Fer with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 Don't worry they have the same model of saw without the guard detect feature. I wonder if its for large contractors worried about safety except if that was the issue why wouldn't you go all out and get a saw stop saw. It's kind of a lame feature as it can be bypassed anyways from what I read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
