Whether you're a DIY enthusiast, home woodworker, or jobsite contractor, DeWalt table saws are ideal for cutting sheet materials, commonly used 2x4 lumber, and a variety of other stock sizes. However, since DeWalt makes a range of excellent models, choosing just one of these useful [power tools]() can be challenging. To aid your decision, we tested two popular DeWalt table saws, ultimately selecting the [DeWalt 10-Inch Jobsite Table Saw With Rolling Stand]() as our top pick. This DIY-friendly yet professional-grade model is not only easy to use but also delivers ample power and exceptional accuracy. Read on to see what else we loved about this option and learn which features matter most when choosing one of the best DeWalt table saws. ![Measuring cutting blade Dewalt 10-inch table saw]() *Photo: Glenda Taylor for BobVila.com* **Our Ratings:** Ease of Use **4/5**; Power **5/5**; Accuracy **5/5**; Portability **5/5**; Value **5/5** The DeWalt 10-inch table saw is a top-tier tool that delivers power and precision in a relatively portable package. Designed for professionals and serious DIYers, it has a 15-amp motor that cut easily through hardwood, pressure-treated lumber, and plywood in our tests. With an impressive 32.5-inch rip capacity, it even handled large sheets of plywood with ease. Compared to the other portable table saws we tested, this was the most stable of the bunch due to its aggressive leg flares. Still, the 90-pound unit didn't take up more space than any other model and was easy to move and store thanks to its folding, rolling stand. As impressed as we were with the performance of this DeWalt portable table saw, so much so that it also earned the top award in our review of the [best table saws]() from any brand, setting it up proved a bit tedious. It took one set of testers (who hadn't used a table saw in many years and needed to reacquaint themselves with its components and operation) nearly 2 hours, while a contractor duo on our team did it in about 45 minutes. Both teams found assembling the collapsible rolling stand especially time-consuming, while attaching the blade, riving knife, and blade guard was quick and easy. Once each piece was installed, each team noted that the rack and pinion [fence system]() delivered smooth, square, and accurate cuts right away. Unlike cheaper models with flimsy fences that require repeated realignment, this folding table saw stayed true, even after rolling the saw across varied terrain and relocating and reattaching the fence for storage. In addition to providing precision and portability, this DeWalt stand table saw does an excellent job addressing safety via its blade guard, shark fin-style riving knife, anti-kickback pawls, flip-cover power button, and included push stick. Its on/off switch and depth, bevel, and fence adjustments are conveniently located on the front for easy operation, and the 2.5-inch dust port helps keep the workspace clean. Those looking for a reliable, well-designed tool for a jobsite or home woodworking shop won't be disappointed. **What our tester says:** "Since neither of us has used a table saw since we had our dads by our sides for help, we were a bit intimidated during initial setup and testing. Once we got going, though, we found it was actually quite easy to use—even with our limited experience. Given that the contractors who tested it felt the same, we're confident that this unit's design and accuracy make one of the [best table saws for beginners]() as well as professionals." —Michelle Larson, Product Reviews tester and writer ***Read our full review:*** [**DeWalt 10-Inch Jobsite Table Saw With Rolling Stand**]() **Get the DeWalt 10-inch table saw at** [**Amazon**]()**,** [**Lowe's**]()**,** [**Ace Hardware**]()**, or** [**The Home Depot**]()**.

After evaluating the available options based on capacity, size, portability, and power, we chose two models and began the assembly process. Once each saw was ready, we evaluated their alignment and ability to produce accurate cuts in hardwood, softwood, and plywood. We ran the boards lengthwise to test the motors while noting the security of the fence, riving knife, and blade guard. We made straight and angled cuts, tested extra features like dust ports and onboard storage for included DeWalt [table saw accessories​](), and changed their blades. We collapsed the unit with the rolling stand before wheeling it around our property and carried the compact model across the jobsite to see how portable its 54 pounds felt. After our tests were complete, we scored the saws on assembly, ease of use, performance, power, portability, accuracy, and value. | **Product Name** | **Ease of Use** | **Power** | **Accuracy** | **Portability** | **Value** | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [DeWalt 10-Inch Jobsite Table Saw With Rolling Stand]() | 4 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | | [DeWalt 8¼-Inch Compact Jobsite Table Saw]() | 4.5 | 4 | 4.5 | 5 | 4 | ## FAQs ## Meet the Tester As a writer and editor for over 10 years, Michelle Larson is experienced in testing tools, cleaning products, and lawn and garden equipment.
