DWE7491RS
Background
The DeWalt DWE7491RS is a 10-inch table saw equipped with a 15-amp motor and designed with a rolling stand for transport and setup. This table saw features a fence with gears and lock mechanisms called the rack and pinion. The product also attributes a 32-1/2" rip capacity, which powers up to 4,800 RPM, to allow cutting of large hardwood materials and storage for accessories. The DeWalt DWE7491RS table saw includes a 2-1/2" dust collection port that connects to a vacuum for dust extraction and components such as a blade guard and push stick. The DeWalt DWE749IRS is commonly used for cutting wood and sheet goods for carpentry and construction. It is a part of DeWalt's portable table saw family and is referred to by DWE7491 and DWE7491X. This product replaced the model DW744X and others like it.
The typical retail price ranges from $550 to $650 USD, and is widely available in North America and other global markets. Common maintenance issues include fence alignment and motor wear. This model is followed by the DWE7492, which introduced minor updates in the dust collector and safety features.
Identification
To identify the DeWalt DWE7491RS, the table has a rectangular metal base mounted on a foldable rolling stand with two large wheels and two additional support legs. The saw's tabletop is a silver aluminum with a place rim, and the fence system includes yellow adjustment knobs and a black measuring rail. There is a transparent blade guard, and the riving knife sits behind the blade kickback protection. The saw's body is the classic DeWalt yellow and black color scheme, with the DeWalt logo above the kill switch.
The saw measures approximately 26.25 inches high, 22 inches wide, and 30 inches deep when set up, with the stand adding height. It weighs around 90 pounds, including the stand. Users can primarily distinguish the DWE7491RS from similar models by its 32-1/2 inch rip capacity, rack and pinion fence system, and the inclusion of the rolling stand. The model number is printed on a label affixed to the motor housing or side panel near the power switch.
