Hi Jacob, when i re checked last night it was over 1.5mm higher on the right side. The problem is i just dont know what to buy, the dewalt seem to be the right choice after the Festool issues. I like the rack and pinion fence and i did have a Dw745 before that was great and it was flat, wish i...

I hear what you are saying but i just dont have the need for such a large tablesaw, i really need something that i can move around and is not to big. I like the idea that i can always take it on a job if required, the festool was pretty much on the limit as it was quite bulky.

I have just re checked and its over 1.5mm higher on the right side in parts.

Thanks for the replies, i spoke to the company i purchased it from and they were happy to swap it, i wish i hadn't bothered. The new one arrived tonight and the right side of there top is about 0.8 mm higher when checked with feeler gauge, might be time to give up on Dewalt.

Yes i understand what you are saying and you could say its exposing double the end grain but its not that much really and i would treat all end grain anyway that is used for exterior and use treated wood. I suppose in part its also what look you are trying to achieve, if its a rustic gate look...

You could also use half lap joints for your frame.

Ok, thanks. i will keep my little saw then lol

Sorry if this has been asked many many times. I have just purchased a new Dewalt table saw DWE7492, i know its a site saw with an aluminium top but when i have checked for flatness i can get a .30mm feeler gauge under my straight edge around the centre of the table, it looks like the high spots...

That is not the problem the op is having. When you add the side attachment the fence slides between the two, so it should be flush, otherwise it catches.

Cheers, thanks for the help.

Are all caster wheels pretty much the same or is their a couple of brands that are well made and not too expensive? I am building a mitre saw station and it needs to be wheeled around to keep it out of the way when not in use, would need to be swivel, non marking and braked. Cheers Mark

Looks like its going back and being replaced, thanks for you help. Tbh though i am actually considering cancelling the replacement and buying something else like the Dewalt, purely because i am not convinced it is actually much better. Cheers

Thanks 👍🏻

Thats very possible and that would probably mean they are all the same.

It says its made in the Czech Republic. I have tried to adjust the throat plate again today, my understanding is it should be flush with the table because if its not then it might nudge the workpiece as you are pushing it through, this would apply if its raised above or slightly below. Does...

Yes but the thought of speaking to them is making me nervous, i arm just hoping they don't tell me its a site saw, it will do what its supposed to. The thing is, why would it have fine adjustments if it was not meant for some precision?

It only arrived on friday and tbh the company i purchased from seem really good, this could be the big test for them.

You are right, the throat plate is too high but when i do manage to get it (nearly level) the other end lifts up. I checked the throat plate and its is nearly flat, still not good enough though for such a costly tool. I have also put my straight edge on the actual table and i can get...

some more pics i took. Looks like a dip in the table, not good Festool.
