Rank #5 in Best Table Saw 2026: 10 Ranked, and Three Wattage Claims That Don't Add Up
DeWalt DWE7485 Compact Table Saw 250 mm
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The DeWalt DWE7485 is a compact job site table saw, and it takes #5 in this guide. At £429.95 it is the dearest saw here that does not come with a stand, and it is also the clearest case in the collection of a listing disagreeing with itself. The bullets give the wattage as 1,850 W; the specification table lower down the same Amazon page gives it as 1,700 watts. That is 150 W between the two, roughly 8% off the headline figure.
The wattage is not the only number that moves. The title calls it a 250 mm saw while the bullets put the blade length at 210 Millimetres, and a corded 240 V machine is listed as requiring 1 Lithium Ion battery. That is the job of this page: to report what the listing says, including the places where the listing contradicts itself. It holds 4.6 out of 5 from 98 ratings. Everything below comes from the Amazon product page for the DWE7485 — none of it from testing we carried out ourselves.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“A brilliant job site saw. Up to DeWalts usually build quality and a very strong quite motor. The smaller blade size doesn't bother me as I'm mainly using it for ripping up sheet materials and flooring. Will rip up 8x4 sheets, skirting, flooring all day long with no issues.”
Verified purchase“40 years in carpentry and joinery purchased this Dewalt bang on in every way power accuracy easy to use and so forth really you can't ask no more at this machine.”

Questions people ask
How much power does the DeWalt DWE7485 have?
The bullets on the listing say 1,850 W and the specification table on the same page says 1,700 watts. The two DeWalt figures differ by 150 W, so the higher one is a claim rather than a measured output.
What blade size does the DeWalt DWE7485 take?
The title says 250 mm and the bullets say the blade length is 210 Millimetres. The listing does not explain the 40 mm gap between those two numbers.
Is the DeWalt DWE7485 corded or battery powered?
The specification table lists the power source as Corded Electric, then adds that 1 Lithium Ion battery is required. The model is sold as a 240 V corded saw, so the battery line does not fit the rest of the entry.
How fast does the DeWalt DWE7485 spin?
The listing gives a speed of 5,800 RPM and a 60-tooth blade for the DWE7485.
What is the cutting angle on the DeWalt DWE7485?
The table gives a Cutting Angle of 90 Degrees while also listing Bevel Capability as a special feature. Those two entries do not sit comfortably together on a single saw.
What do buyers say about the DeWalt DWE7485?
It scores 4.6 out of 5 across 98 ratings, with the 5-star bar far taller than any other. Reviewers describe it as a job site saw with a strong motor that will rip sheet materials and flooring.
