Cheers! I can t remember but I can measure it for you tomorrow. Height doesn’t really matter I would say in this case. Just needs to support itself and that depends a bit on how long you make it. Hope this helps :)

Fennah Woodworking thanks that’s very kind of you. ☺️

chevyimp thanks for watching, hope it helps. I haven’t seen a price for this new saw you mention yet, but if the dimension specs are the same as the flex volt model then the blade will be quite a bit smaller so cutting depth will be not nearly as good. 77mm vs 61 on the Flex I believe. This may not sound like much of a difference but especially when the blade is tilted you’ll see this cause issues with thicker stock. The body is only a little bit smaller and actually there is a point where the table on a saw can be too small, it’s actually good and safer to have a bit of surface area around the blade so material is supported as you put it through the saw. I’ve since moved to the garage with this and frequently use other table etc to support as a temporary outfeed table with things that are longer than say 50cm or so. I guess it’s also a price question: this DW745 will be an investment, and if the price for the compact model is comparable but you don’t gain much, it’s maybe not worth it. Flex models are very expensive to run not least due to the batteries, so maybe it won’t be as pricey as the flex version. There are other brands and models out there now so if you can try them out even better - the size is one thing but you’ll have a subjective response to them too. It also depends on what it is you need the saw for, and how much accuracy you need (the DeWalt fence system is very very good). There are other things about these little saws that are annoying (noise levels for example, and the throat plate that comes with it is not ideal for accurate cuts on very small stock, so I made some zero clearance inserts). So it’s a matter of weighing up these pros and cons, and what’s in the budget. Good luck and let me know what you end up with, and how you like it!

Peter Haughton it’s a good Allrounder saw Peter. Depending on your projects you might want to consider a better blade (I have a 60 tooth one for ready-to-glue finishing cuts, and a flat-tooth-blade for flat-bottomed trench cuts (“dadoes” and “rabets” to some). The top will scuff and wear off (it’s a coating of some kind) over time but the important things all work. Once it’s set up right that fence is absolutely excellent.

Adkiz69 Ta very much mate- I think I’d do the video differently these days but I’m glad some people find it useful- still aiming to do a review style video on it at some point as it’s been a while and I’ve learnt a lot about that saw. Have you got it too? Anything that bothers you or you find particularly positive about it? Cheers

Peter Haughton Hi Peter thanks for your comment. Regards to Stirling- you live in a beautiful array of the world

some people are like children .your an Adult or you look like one so be one Peter fae stirling Scotland

Peter Haughton ok I will try

michael kilner sorry I only just saw your comment. Hope the new one is working fine- perhaps the table was not even?

quebraho hi, thanks for watching the video! Height: 33cm / 13 inches foot to table top. I don’t currently have the Irving knife installed, but I will take a look and reply here to let you know. You may well need to make some “fine adjustments” (read: use brute force) in case the Irving knife is bent- it’s pretty stout material. Hope this helps!

@@alexnosheds Thanks again for the help. My new DeWalt 745 just deliverd. Riving knife and blade dead accurate. Fence rock solid. Lots of power. Very happy. One more question please. I saw that you upgraded your blade to a Freud one. Can you give me the link ? Did you notice any impovement ? Worth the cost ? I'm thinking between those two, www.amazon.de/gp/product/B0013LL88I/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?smid=A3JWKAKR8XB7XF&psc=1 www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00XEUB8B8/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=AGNPVGSVH02IW&psc=1 But the question again is, worth the cost ? thanks in advanced !

quebraho hi again, and thanks for letting me know, and congrats to the purchase, hope it works out well. It all depends on what you are planning to do in terms of projects and cutting work. If you are cutting across the grain, or need very fine (ready for gluing) cuts, I would definitely recommend getting a good quality blade like that. If you’re cutting rough timbers for framing houses, perhaps the one that came with the saw might be ok. I have been using that Freud blade for almost everything since I got it and it has held up really well, even with acrylic sheets, very resinous wood, reclaimed wood, man-made woods like hardwood ply, MDF, hardwoods like beech, oak, walnut, it’s always great. The cheapest one I could find that delivers to Germany is this one at screwfix (i recommend ordering before Brexit happens, it could get bumpy!): www.screwfix.eu/freud-lp40m-025-tct-circular-saw-blade-60-tooth-250mm-x-30mm-bore.html The other blade I have is a flat tooth blade with I think 28 teeth, it will leave a flat bottom cut which is good for box / finger joints or trenching cuts. The more teeth the blade has the slower you can cut, so if you are cutting with the grain (rip cuts) a lot, maybe a combination blade with 40 teeth from Freud might be a good idea and also possibly a touch cheeped to buy. I think the finish will be almost as good as 60 tooth but I haven’t tried it- I just take very slow and gentle cuts using the 60. Let the saw do the work - don’t force it). Let me know if this helps and alles Gute nach Deutschland! 😊🍻

Ps a shorter answer: yes, it’s worth it (I haven’t tried the dewalt 60 tooth though) 👍

​@@alexnosheds Hi again. I'II go for Freud 40 teeth, as I do rip and cross cuts (no space for mitter saw). Thanks again for helping me, selecting my new table saw and blade.

Thanks for your note John, I appreciate it. By the way it’s been a while since I got the saw, would people be interested in a follow-up vid? Curious. Thanks!

Alex No Sheds Yes Alex. I would be interested in a follow up vid. I’m interested in getting this saw.

John Saunders Do you have any particular points you’d like me to cover that will help with the decision making? Cheers

@@alexnosheds More about how it's stood up to usage and any thing that you find annoying about it.

MrKfq269 Thanks for your comment. I did wear eye and ear and dust protection. Masked up like a regular Darth Vader. The freezer unit is fine so far. Only run the saw every so often (the rubber feet of the saw absorb most of the vibration- they are nice and soft).

James O'sullivan Hi James thank you for commenting. There are differences between the US and the UK version of this saw which is why the power switches are different. I agree with you though, it’s quite fiddly, not least because of the awkward placement of the switch. I had a quick look and if you are not willing to modify your saw (and therefore potentially void your warranty with DeWalt which I strongly suggest to register online by the way) you could invest in a power switch into which you plug this saw (or any other machine for that matter). There’s one called AUKtools NVR Switch on woodowrkersworkshop.co.uk (just the first thing that came up) but there will be other models and other sellers, worth a google anyhow. Hope this gets you started. All the best - Alex

I preach you preach not at the moment, I play it once in a while but I will let the concept marinade in my mind for a bit before I take it further. Might do a video on the sounds though if that interests you, it’s fairly boring to watch for most people but I can tell you’re into the guitars so maybe you’d enjoy it :-D

No Sheds what inspired you to want to do this ? I was always intrigued about the different angles or positions of the bridge pickup (like jimi Hendrix strat where it’s angled the opposite way moving the thin e string pole magnet closer to the neck) I have seen a video of a guy do a 5 pickup strat with all the possible parallel tones (but not series or combinations of series and parallel , never mind all the phasing , tone cap possibilities etc)

I preach you preach ok maybe I’ll do a follow-up video but I have pondered the multiple pickup question for quite some time. The available space doesn’t really allow that much room for multiple pickups, and in the end this was me trying to prove that change in tone is mostly about where on the string the magnets grab the vibration. I originally began working on this a while back after experimenting with microphones and acoustic guitars, and then I read somewhere that Leo Fender couldn’t play the guitar but spent hours plucking open strings and moving pickups back and forth minuscule amounts. Then I held one guitar face to face to another electric guitar and played the one but let the pickups of the other pick up the sound, and moving that around to achieve different voicings. Then I wired up a pickup to a cable and held it freehand in front of a normal electric guitar, strummed it, and moved the pickup around. It was fascinating to hear the difference. Then one day my toaster died and that shaft was just the right length and smoothness. That was the beginning :-)

No Sheds very interesting. Yeah it’s fascinating stuff. I have always been a fender stratocaster fan/user. Or any single coil pickup guitar. As you will probably know how much talk there is over pickups and pickup selection etc. Lots of money in guitar parts. There were forums /pages called “guitar nuts” and “guitar nuts 2” that were full of different wiring diagrams /ideas etc. I did attempt a multiple sound wiring with a few switches but failed miserably as I didn’t know what I was doing at the time but wanted to revisit it . I’m not sure if you have seen “the answer” guitar which uses the same sliding pickup idea. I would love to do a few guitar, maybe a one pickup guitar (less magnetic pull on the strings ) A two pickup (like the answer which has a video on UA-cam with 2 single coils which switch between series and parallel giving you a humbucker or single coils) And well, maybe I would keep going up to 3 or 4. There’s a few 4 pickup guitars out there with interesting tones

stuart gibson hahaha it’s a mystery part from Dewalt, mainly to confuse us :) Actually those are shims for adjusting the diving knife/blade cover. I don’t think you’ll ever need them but I have kept mine just in case.

No Sheds ahh! Cheers mate

stuart gibson no probs! Happy cutting

No Sheds cringing watching. you really need a lesson in safety

Biggsy1970 hiya! This one came from FFX in Folkestone. To my knowledge the fence is the same to the US version- it works really really well so far, and very simple to set up. I think in this video I didn’t show the “fold over” part of the fence very well. Hope this helps! :)

No Sheds yeah I thought it might be the US version, you did show the flip over in your video. I've got an Elektra Beckum table saw but as its so bulky it has only left the workshop twice. Hoping this Dewalt is a lot easier to load up and take to jobs. Toolstop seem to be the cheapest at the moment.

Biggsy1970 yes it fluctuates a bit each week. You might also find reconditioned ones on EBay (from reputable sellers obviously) if you’re not fussy about the finish. I think this one is manoeuvrable enough yet accurate enough to be a great option in your case. It’s got some drawbacks (not as quiet as an induction motor, for example), but overall I’m very impressed.

No Sheds I'm used to the noise my EB one is very noisy. I was going to buy the package with the stand but it looks easier to just carry it.

Biggsy1970 the handles are quite good, sort of inset into the bottom of the table top. Only thing to watch out for is setting it down on the rear side if you’re storing or transporting it upright, as the known to move the rack - and - pinion fence would suffer if it had to bear the weight of the saw. I think people get the stand also because it adds protection for transport, but (as you can see) my tiny shop is too small for the stand :)

No Sheds I work as a guitar teacher up in Scotland, I have about 3 Yamaha Pacifica’s. Great guitars

I preach you preach they are insane value for money. That one in this video is around 18 years old.

No Sheds I have one that same colour , had it at work in about 2005, was sitting on a cheap swivel chair that I bought from Argos , leaned back the chair snapped, I went flying backwards onto the floor (in front of a student I was teaching) and the guitar hit the radiator , which left a few ripple marks in the wood, and I still use it to this day, still going strong haha

I preach you preach indestructible :-) this one was originally black, I stripped it many years ago and put some clear wax on it. It lost about two pounds of weight that way ;-)

No Sheds ah.., there is a black one I have too, and a silver . You can pick em dirt cheap used, great for modding or adapting
