The retained reference is $349 current independent U.S. DWE7485 reference. Add a stable compatible stand, extraction and material support; do not compare a bundled stand price. Confirm the current configuration, included parts, support path, return terms and the work that must be preserved before ordering.
Current market
Each line carries its own check date because price, software, specifications, and product cycle do not age at the same speed.
Add a stable compatible stand, extraction and material support; do not compare a bundled stand price. Confirm the checkout price and package before paying.
Choose the DWE7485 when low carry weight and a familiar rack-and-pinion fence matter more than dado capability, a rolling stand or a brake system.

What changed
Older observations stay in the ledger when the current view changes. That lets a buyer tell the difference between an old complaint, an active issue, and a problem that was corrected.
8-1/4-Inch Compact Jobsite Table Saw was checked against its manufacturer record, the current category collection and the nearest ownership alternatives.
Each amount stays tied to its source and capture date. Conflicting prices remain visible until the seller resolves them.

Owner experience
Owner discussion repeatedly returns to stand selection, no-dado constraint, fence checks, dust adapters and compact transport rather than specifications alone.
These are self-reported experiences from a changing mix of owners, conditions and software versions. They identify questions to test, not a failure rate. Blade, fence alignment, stock, cut, stand, circuit, extraction, maintenance, battery and operator practice vary materially.A current owner thread distinguishes the base saw from retailer packages and surfaces practical setup questions. It is not a quality rate.
Use bounded reports for setup questions, not universal precision, power or failure conclusions.

DEWALT identifies 8-1/4-Inch Compact Jobsite Table Saw as a 53-pound 8-1/4-inch corded saw with a 24-1/2-inch rack-and-pinion rip fence and no supplied stand
Home Depot lists the stand-not-included DWE7485 at $349 and separately identifies stand and battery-platform alternatives.
DEWALT publishes setup, compatibility or service material that makes this purchase boundary explicit: DWE7485 is the stand-not-included base saw, not DWE7485WS or another stand bundle, and dado stacks are not permitted. A table saw can cause amputation, laceration, impact, entanglement, electric-shock, fire, noise and wood-dust injury. Read the exact saw and blade manuals. Verify blade diameter, arbor or bore, plate thickness, kerf, maximum RPM, rotation and riving-knife and guard compatibility; a blade fitting the arbor alone is not compatible. Use a dado only when the exact manual permits the exact diameter and maximum width, with the required insert, riving-knife or guarding procedure and, for SawStop, the correct dado cartridge. Disconnect mains power or remove the battery and follow the manual before blade, insert, fence, alignment, clearing or service work, and wait for the blade to stop. Lock the saw on a stable level stand or base, support long and wide stock, keep people out of the line of fire, inspect stock for metal and instability, and never cut freehand. Use the rip fence, miter gauge, push stick, push block, featherboard and other fixtures exactly as the cut and manual require; never combine the fence and miter gauge in a binding setup. A guard, riving knife or anti-kickback pawl reduces some risks only when correctly aligned and used and does not prevent kickback. An ordinary electric brake or CutSense stops or coasts the blade after switch-off or cut completion and is not skin sensing. SawStop's conductivity-based Active Injury Mitigation has material, bypass, blade, cartridge, gap and operating conditions and does not prevent contact, every injury or kickback. Wood dust varies by species, coating, cut and collector; connect the documented port and effective extraction, and select eye, hearing and respiratory controls from the actual exposure assessment. A qualified person must verify the exact 120 V circuit, grounding or GFCI conditions and extension-cord limits; cordless systems require the exact compatible battery and charger and damaged-lithium handling. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.213 is a workplace rule, not proof that a product complies for a particular workplace. No catalog fact promises accuracy, cut quality, kickback prevention, injury prevention or regulatory compliance.
The current U.S. dealer market separates saw-only, battery kit, folding-stand, rolling-stand and accessory SKUs. Prices cannot be compared without retaining those contents.
The independent review examines the exact compact saw's capacity, fence and portability; manual limitations remain controlling.
NIOSH identifies substantial table-saw wood-dust generation and limitations of lower collection alone; actual controls depend on machine, hood, airflow, material and exposure.
A current owner thread distinguishes the base saw from retailer packages and surfaces practical setup questions. It is not a quality rate.
8-1/4-Inch Portable Worm Drive Table Saw represents the compact worm-drive carry saw branch at $429 current independent U.S. SPT99T-01 reference.
Compact Table Saw represents the compact carry saw with skin-contact brake branch at $899 current independent U.S. CTS-120A60 reference.
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.213 sets workplace woodworking-machinery guarding and operating requirements. It does not certify this saw, a particular cut or a particular workplace as compliant.
The manufacturer record, current market collection, support material and independent category evidence were checked on August 17, 2026. The checkout package and regional support path still need verification. Owner reports are retained as bounded experience, not a reliability rate.
