Just grabbed a Dewalt DWE7491XE and have been looking at heaps of out feed table set ups to instal in my workshop. Some are mind blowing, with a finish looking like a dinning room table. This table is pretty close to exactly what I was wanting to build with, size, vice etc. I'll additionally run a power system around the bench. Thanks Terry for a great job and build.
Thanks Craig, you will love that saw, DEWALT really know how to make a table saw, especially with the rack and pinion system, they are so accurate. Enjoy making you bench, I really enjoyed making mine, just take your time and enjoy the build 👍🏼
@@Terrythemaker Terry why didn't you match the indent in the saw table on the right hand side of the Dewalt as you did on the left? It looks good on left. What is the outside width of the lower shelf?
@@cratra Hi Craig, that’s a really good question, I honestly can’t remember why I didn’t do the same on the right hand side. As for the measurements I’m not at home so I’ll have to measure later 👍🏼
Nice one just bought the 7492 over here in Barcelona , I went for that to allow more blade height on a cross cut sledI am planning to build, the old Einhell saw is now up for retirement to the garage for cutting up the kindling for the woodburner. 😄
My wife bought me this table to saw for my birthday. I’ll be doing the same by mounting the saw in an existing bench. I will definitely use some of your features when I re-design my bench. 😊👍🏻
This is what I will build for my skil 10 inch table saw. After watching many videos this is just what I'm looking for, right down to the measurements for my small workshop. I also really like your miter saw station and will take a look at your build video on that. Thank you for posting this video, it helped me narrow down what I want to build for my shop. I think the one addition I will make is incorporate a router at the other end from the saw....Well done sir.... Cheers from Utah.
Hi 👋 that’s great to hear, I must admit I really enjoyed making that bench, it gets a lot of use. I’m really glad you enjoyed watching the video and I appreciate you watching, cheers from the UK 🇬🇧
I made your workbench about a year ago. A little tweaking for my size and I LOVE it. I am thinking of making your cross cut sled next. I'll try to get pictures.
I'm in the process of using most of your design for my very first project ever. I did change a tiny bit so far but it was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
Great job on building the table around the Dewalt saw! I have the same saw and built a small mobile cart for it. Now I’m thinking of building an out feed/ assembly table for it. Wish I would have seen yours first, it would have solved both issues for me. I may still copy your design if you don’t mind. Once again, great job! 👏
Nice build and nothing wrong with making it a mix of a video and a montage talk-over. That worked really well in conveying the thoughts that went into this build 👍 My first impression was that you were lacking to extend the miter slots into the outfeed table… But when you pulled out your sled it dawned on me that by not extending the miter slots you can design the sled to naturally stop exactly before the blade exists the front of the sled (where your hands are in danger). I don’t know why I never thought of that, but it looks like you did and that is darn clever. Thanks for the inspirations!
Hi Dennis, thanks for watching and your kind comments, it’s funny you mention the runners because I was tempted only this week to router out two slots for the runners for the occasions that I could do with them, but to be fair I only cut small pieces on the sled, so I decided it against it. 👍🏼
This is a wonderful build!! Absolutely inspiring! There’s nothing you can’t build with your saw that someone with a 3 hp behemoth can do! Trust me, I have the largest Dewalt jobsite saw here in America and I can saw through pretty much anything…made of wood. 😉
This is great, thanks for sharing! I have only a 3x3m shed so I'll be doing something similar soon so my table saw can be setup and ready permanently instead of being packed away (standing on its edge) against the wall as it currently is! :D
I’m glad you like it, I have to say it works really well like this. I too can’t be bothered having to keep getting tools out and setting them up each time. I have most of my tools mounted on benches, at least I did until we recently moved house. I’m currently setting up a new workshop. thanks for watching 😊
I am the same. Very similar size shed and built a similar size one to this. Managed to get a router table in as well at the other end and put on wheels so could be moved around. Would like a bigger space but have to work with what we have !
You do have to spend some time setting the saw up... blade, fence, etc. But once done, the saw is great. Fairly compact which is Nice ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxXh-4_3-ZT1fFWP91ZV7iVqzElr0lEb-a I did get an Incra Miter Gauge which takes some setup as well. The stock miter gauge can be adjusted in the miter slot with a little painter's tape... this tightens up the side to side play a lot.
As a newby to table saws, can you tell me why some have the saws mounted North to South (along the longest side) versus some that are mounted East to West
Hi Mark, do you mean the direction they are mounted into peoples benches? If so, I think it’s personal preference. For me, I like it mounted this way so that I have support behind the blade if Im cutting sheet goods. I hope that's what you mean?
Hello, my compliments for the explanations about the DeWalt saw bench. I would like to ask a question: is there a system or a product to protect the "work surface" (gray in color) from scratches and wear?
@@Terrythemaker I ask you for advice. When checking my 7492 (purchased a few days ago) I detected a difference in level on the work surface (basically by placing the level or a precision square used for mechanics and pressing with one finger on the end of it, with the other finger pushing on the opposite side I have the "Telegraph" effect - that is, I see that it "taps" on the bench and you notice a difference in level of about 1.5 mm over a distance of 15 cm!) What do you advise me to do? Should I ask for a return? Should I return everything and exchange it for another? .... 😭😵💫
Hi That's a tough one because I had a similar problem when I bought mine, when I called the store they said don’t worry we will send you a new one, which they did, the customer service from DEWALT was excellent. But I’ve since noticed lots are like it in this price bracket. Only really expensive table saws with solid cast tops will be 100% flat. I know that’s probably not much help.
Nice work brother I happened to all the same saw that happen to be building a bench as we speak. I’d love what you’ve done just have one question on the right hand side of your saw is opened and not Boxed in like the left any particular reason. Please keep up the good work you have explained everything beautifully.
Hi Mark, I’m going to honest because I can’t actually remember why I cut that side straigh, I think at the time I thought I had to be able to access the side of the saw but it tops up I don’t . If I was to make it again I would have both sides matching, thanks for watching 👍🏼
This is so great. I like hoe clean this is. Im working on putting something like this together. Is the table saw in line with top ply wood? It looks like the top of the saw is not in line. How much higher should the top of the table saw be in line with the plywood?
Great design. I have same table saw with the pesky wings. I'm trying to make a scaled down version (not as long) of your great bench, trying to follow your design and comments. Could you clarify how you got the template so accurate -- not sure what you mean by: "cut out the hole at the narrowest point of the tabletop... drop the table into the hole, and the outer wings acted as a template". Did you use the L and R sides of the rectangular hole to prop up the saw using the wings when you part dropped it in, and then draw the template, remove the saw, cut out the template, drop the saw all the way in? Really, really appreciate your feedback. Thanks! And, thanks for the great vids!
Hi, thank you for your comments. Just to clarify I cut the first hole at approximately 19 inches or 485 mm, I then slid the saw in from the front of the bench and let the wings sit on top of the plywood. I then drew around the wings as a template, and then removed the saw and cut out the wings and dropped the saw back in. I do hope this makes sense. I might have some pics on my Instagram, regards Terry
Is it possible to flip the fence to the other side of the blade with this design or would one need a larger opening behind the saw to allow the fence locking system to be actuated?
How did you figured out the height for the ''shelf'' for the saw to rest on ? can you adjust it if need be ? I was looking if anyone had made a ''pannel saw'' out of theuir saw. Like with a shelf/table on the side that slide.
Hi, I must admit it was trial and error. I started off with the shelf held in by clamps either side and I moved it up a little bit at a time with a spirit level resting across the saw and the bench, once it was in place and both were flush I then fixed the screws in place
Nice.... I tend to think everyones first bench is made out of necessity so we usually get the meat and potatoes. Haven't made my first bench yet but I feel that I want to plan it and it will take a lot of time to fine tune it whereas I can build one to get something to use in my workspace.... and then I'm stuck because of the effort put into this one... Do you suggest rushing and getting a workbench up or is it worth it in the long run to simply wait it out which can hold back projects that are not shop projects?
Now that’s a tough one, I must admit I made my bench twice, Well almost, This bench started off a lot more basic than what you see in this video, but then when I bought my Dewalt tablesaw, I decided to fine tune it, I put a new top on it and spend a lot of time getting it just right with the trim around the sides etc. A lot depends on what you plan to do. I’m just a weekend woodworker and I don’t really have that many projects on the go so I was able to take my time on this and get it exactly as I wanted. I would say take your time and enjoy the build.
@@Terrythemaker Thanks a bunch. I am a weekender myself ;) I want to build a desk for my studio but I also want to build a workbench. Thanks!!! I know I may be able to build the desk without the workbench so maybe its just my ego that wants to have the workbench first.... lol
Hi Russel, no, basically I undid the screws along the front support and raised up each side, with a long spirit level across the top so I could see when it was flush and once I was happy I drove a screw in on one side then the other, it was a bit tricky and time consuming. But I got there eventually. Then the same with the back. I needed about 4 pairs of hands at the time 😂
Wow, I love it! Great work! It sounds like your rack and pinion fence is a little stiff. . . Would some paste wax make that move a little more freely? I've thought about getting that same table saw too. Your input would be appreciated. Also, since you use your saw often, do you ever wish you had a slightly bigger saw with a large cast iron table and a bigger electric motor for sawing extra thick material? Cheers. :-)
Thanks Justin, you’re probably right it might need a bit of grease or paste wax, but no, the saw is perfect for me it’s the right size, of course we all like something a bit bigger, but I analysed this for ages before buying the DeWalt and this came out tops every single time, no matter which saw I looked at this saw always won. You won’t regret buying it.
Sagging in the middle of the bench or the table saw ? The bench is reinforced underneath so all good so far 👍🏼 no dips in the table saw either but job site saws are never 100% flat, probably 99.9 % 😂
It a very nice bench but you could have saved time and effort and had more real estate on the bench. I don't know if you're familiar with Ron Paulk. I built his original workbench and made wood adaptors so my Dewalt would sit nicely on the 19mm pipes that mounted to the bench. This meant that my saw was clear of the main bench so there was no need to rout slots for the mechanism. It also gives you the ability to take the saw off if you're not using it so you have a full worksurface. I still like you bench though and if it suits you, that's all that matters.
Hi Patrick, thanks for taking the time to comment, as always it’s good to hear what others have built, I hadn’t heard of Ron Paulk but I’m going to check him out now, thanks for that 👍🏼
Hi, do you mean the table saw top itself ? If so I would say no, it’s not perfectly flat, this is my second saw and it’s much better than the first one, the first one was slightly lower in the middle but dewalt replaced it without any fuss at all. This second one is much better but not 100% flat, But almost. You have to spend thousands of pounds on a cabinet saw for 100% perfection and flatness. But for everyday jobs this saw is amazing and I highly recommend it to anyone 👍🏼
Hi Paul Thanks for your lovely comments, the vice came from Amazon, it’s the “Irwin Record V175b Woodcraft Vice” I hope you enjoy making yours, I really enjoyed making mine, challenging, but I just take my time👍🏼
@@MrPaullight1963 I’ve always been interested in woodwork, but only as an hobby, but started to get really into it about 5 years ago. I’m still only a weekend hobbyist
@@FatNormanCoathanger thanks for your comments, I used to have another one that was on a much lighter frame and the saw never felt solid in it. You’d get vibration and movement and the top would flex, so this time I wasn’t taking any chances I wanted something that felt nice and solid and flat, plus I had lots of 4x4 off cuts I needed to use. thanks for watching 👍🏼
In reality Dewalt is not concerned with supplying a TOP bench saw: -The internal dust insulation has been changed, even so the machine releases a lot of dust. - It's a noisy machine. - The consumer does not have the option to buy this machine at 127 volts. - No disc brake - Goniometer with clearance. - There is no flange size option, plastering the consumer to buy cutting discs of another size (should come shaft hole flanges of other disc sizes as an accessory). - The cutting edge is out of adjustment. - The angle adjustment knob is too hard as well as unreliable. - Does not fit 254 mm disc, only 250 mm. When starting and stopping the engine, strangely "spark". DISAPPOINTMENT! The industries, such as Bosch, Makita, Dewalt etc. it is the same disrespect towards the consumer. Adilson you're right! Enough of watching videos from UA-camrs running their hands over the heads of the saw manufacturers just to beg and beg a shut up and in favor of GARBAGE!!!!!!! People who keep selling themselves to the manufacturers of saws and tools in exchange for "jabá". The reality is one, for tool manufacturers, we are considered third class consumers, not to mention the lack of safety and quality! We cannot and must not accept these equipment and tools without quality, safety and respect for others, it is the lack of maturity prevailing at the expense of reasonableness, common sense, ethics, safety and respect! We cannot accept that we Brazilians are treated as third-class consumers, denying us and making us have to consume products without quality. We don't have to accept what the manufacturers want to sell us and push down our throats, precarious, limited machines, which fall short of our needs. Today, the market has a lack and need for portable saws with better quality, as well as features and safety. This "little chat" and the justification of the industries that these machines are for construction sites only serves to relieve them of launching better saws. Year after year the so-called "releases" and or "new" do not have effective advances and improvements. It is the same as always, the accommodation of industries. What really changes is just price, always more expensive, without significant effective improvements for the consumer!

But I got there eventually. Then the same with the back. I needed about 4 pairs of hands at the time 😂
Please. What is the wood type and his tickness on the top of table ? I want to make a same things but low coast for my second workspace.
Hi Richard, its 18mm plywood, but I doubled it by gluing one sheet on top of the other 👍🏼
@@Terrythemaker Thanks a lot for your answer. May be I buy 22mm for my work table because its not for heavy things.
Great bench , do you have any building plans available?
Hi Stavros, I’m afraid not, I don’t really use plans, I sort of know roughly what I’m aiming for, and make it up as I go along 😊
@@Terrythemaker Thank you Terry
Do you remember which bit you used in your router to make way for the table saw?
I didn’t I cut it by hand, with a handsaw
You can see it a 5.10 in the video 😊
Why is my workshop always dirty, the workbench worn out, the tools not in their place?
Are there plans available?
Hi Matthew, I’m afraid I don’t have any plans, I don’t really do plans. I have an idea in my head and just go for it 👍🏼
Ate there plans available for this please?
No sorry, I never have a plan, I sort of make it up as I go along, I normally have a rough idea in my head and just go for it 👍🏼
Hi Terry, what router do you use for this project?
Hi Paul, I use the Makita RT0700 trimmer router but don’t think I used it on this build. 👍🏼
Wow, I love it! Great work! It sounds like your rack and pinion fence is a little stiff. . . Would some paste wax make that move a little more freely? I've thought about getting that same table saw too. Your input would be appreciated. Also, since you use your saw often, do you ever wish you had a slightly bigger saw with a large cast iron table and a bigger electric motor for sawing extra thick material? Cheers. :-)
Thanks Justin, you’re probably right it might need a bit of grease or paste wax, but no, the saw is perfect for me it’s the right size, of course we all like something a bit bigger, but I analysed this for ages before buying the DeWalt and this came out tops every single time, no matter which saw I looked at this saw always won. You won’t regret buying it.
@@Terrythemaker Thanks so much. I'm glad to hear it!
Amazing! It’s beautiful and a beast! I have to get you a cup of coffee. Have you noticed any sagging in the middle?
Sagging in the middle of the bench or the table saw ? The bench is reinforced underneath so all good so far 👍🏼 no dips in the table saw either but job site saws are never 100% flat, probably 99.9 % 😂
It a very nice bench but you could have saved time and effort and had more real estate on the bench.
I don't know if you're familiar with Ron Paulk.
I built his original workbench and made wood adaptors so my Dewalt would sit nicely on the 19mm pipes that mounted to the bench. This meant that my saw was clear of the main bench so there was no need to rout slots for the mechanism. It also gives you the ability to take the saw off if you're not using it so you have a full worksurface.
I still like you bench though and if it suits you, that's all that matters.
Hi Patrick, thanks for taking the time to comment, as always it’s good to hear what others have built, I hadn’t heard of Ron Paulk but I’m going to check him out now, thanks for that 👍🏼
I have question. Is IT Your table is perfectly flat? Do you know how adjust table curvature.?i mean table of dewalt not Your bench.
Hi, do you mean the table saw top itself ? If so I would say no, it’s not perfectly flat, this is my second saw and it’s much better than the first one, the first one was slightly lower in the middle but dewalt replaced it without any fuss at all. This second one is much better but not 100% flat, But almost. You have to spend thousands of pounds on a cabinet saw for 100% perfection and flatness. But for everyday jobs this saw is amazing and I highly recommend it to anyone 👍🏼
@@Terrythemaker maybe better is do home made table saw using circular saw? Own table made From playwood?
Hi Terry, brilliant video. Will use it a lot when I build my table saw table. Could you give me the model number details of your vice please?
Hi Paul
Thanks for your lovely comments, the vice came from Amazon, it’s the
“Irwin Record V175b Woodcraft Vice” I hope you enjoy making yours, I really enjoyed making mine, challenging, but I just take my time👍🏼
@@Terrythemaker Thanks for your reply Terry, you have some nice gear there. How many years have you been woodworking?
@@MrPaullight1963 I’ve always been interested in woodwork, but only as an hobby, but started to get really into it about 5 years ago. I’m still only a weekend hobbyist
brilliant as is the norm Terry, ( is this the tidiest workshop in the world)
Thanks Paul, it’s not that tidy, is it ? 😂😂
👏👏👏
10 my friend
Thanks 😊
Top😊👍👍👍
I have noticed that in Europe y'all say "4 x 2's" In America we say "2 x 4's" And in Texas they say Toobafur.
This most be the world record for saying "As you can see".
It looks brilliant, but the sound is bad.
Thanks Kevin, you are right about the sound, I need to get better at this editing game, thanks for watching 👍🏼
4x4 legs , 4x2 framing and another sheet of 3/4 ply on top of original 3/4 ply.!!!
.......a tad overly engineered don't you think.
@@FatNormanCoathanger thanks for your comments, I used to have another one that was on a much lighter frame and the saw never felt solid in it. You’d get vibration and movement and the top would flex, so this time I wasn’t taking any chances I wanted something that felt nice and solid and flat, plus I had lots of 4x4 off cuts I needed to use. thanks for watching 👍🏼
would be a better video without the photos constantly panning up and down
Agreed, I need to work out how to stop that. Thanks 😊
Tiêu chuẩn Mỹ nhưng thực tế nó đang được sản xuất vào tháng 05/2024 tại Việt Nam do những người Trung Quốc quản lý.Chất lượng thực sự tồi tệ.
feel sea sick watching the video
Thanks for the feedback, all feedback welcome, it’s a learning curve for me 😊
Друг привет. Сделай пожалуйста перевод на русский
In reality Dewalt is not concerned with supplying a TOP bench saw: -The internal dust insulation has been changed, even so the machine releases a lot of dust. - It's a noisy machine. - The consumer does not have the option to buy this machine at 127 volts. - No disc brake - Goniometer with clearance. - There is no flange size option, plastering the consumer to buy cutting discs of another size (should come shaft hole flanges of other disc sizes as an accessory). - The cutting edge is out of adjustment. - The angle adjustment knob is too hard as well as unreliable. - Does not fit 254 mm disc, only 250 mm. When starting and stopping the engine, strangely "spark". DISAPPOINTMENT! The industries, such as Bosch, Makita, Dewalt etc. it is the same disrespect towards the consumer. Adilson you're right! Enough of watching videos from UA-camrs running their hands over the heads of the saw manufacturers just to beg and beg a shut up and in favor of GARBAGE!!!!!!! People who keep selling themselves to the manufacturers of saws and tools in exchange for "jabá". The reality is one, for tool manufacturers, we are considered third class consumers, not to mention the lack of safety and quality! We cannot and must not accept these equipment and tools without quality, safety and respect for others, it is the lack of maturity prevailing at the expense of reasonableness, common sense, ethics, safety and respect! We cannot accept that we Brazilians are treated as third-class consumers, denying us and making us have to consume products without quality. We don't have to accept what the manufacturers want to sell us and push down our throats, precarious, limited machines, which fall short of our needs. Today, the market has a lack and need for portable saws with better quality, as well as features and safety. This "little chat" and the justification of the industries that these machines are for construction sites only serves to relieve them of launching better saws. Year after year the so-called "releases" and or "new" do not have effective advances and improvements. It is the same as always, the accommodation of industries. What really changes is just price, always more expensive, without significant effective improvements for the consumer!
What on earth are you blathering on about?
@@dxs2007 Don't really understand what Luiz is trying to say but it sounds very deep!
@@dxs2007 I read his original very long single paragraph. Then I read your 8 word response and spat my coffee. I just love that word 'blathering'. Punctures so many baloons. 👍
Do you fake channels really think that your real and not in a studio? no saw dust everything it spotless. ??? really ?>?? >ahh duhh
Bad audio. Turned up 100% but can't understand anything. No plans. Sorry found another.
Hi James thanks for the feedback, I’m still learning to edit as you can see, as for plans I design as I go along., it works well for me 👍🏼
