New Dewalt table saw / Woodworker question
1 Attachment(s)
So, I just bought a new Dewalt DWE7485 8-1/4 inch Table Saw. It has two dust collection ports; the lower (primary) and upper (secondary). Would you just connect a good vacuum to the lower port, or get a Y fitting and use them both?
I bought mine with the stand pictured below. https://www.toolup.com/product-image...10&resizew=510 https://www.audioaficionado.org/atta...1&d=1609034310 |
If your shop vac can move enough air for both connections, use both. If it doesn't do a good job, then just use the lower port. On my European combo machine, I hardly notice when I forget to open the blast gate for the blade guard, but if I forget to open the lower port blast gate, I can see the difference immediately.

Thanks Mike :ok:

While I don't have the table saw, I have many other DeWalt tools that I am extremely happy with. Most are hand tools, but the DWS779 12 IN. DOUBLE-BEVEL SLIDING COMPOUND MITER SAW gets a lot of use.
If you are going to do ripping, make sure you get some good featherboards to make a snug fit and to keep your fingers away from the blade. |

Will fire these and a DW biscuit jointer up shortly to build an oak equipment rack for the bedroom system. Glad it's all stand-up work...my 81-year-old knees would never survive. :D

Y’all are more brave than I.
I opted to go with the Festool ts55 track saw to break down sheet goods. Bringing the tool to the material is more comfortable for me. |
Nice saw Ivan!
Very similar to one I bought 4 or 5 years ago. That stand is great. Easy to move around for use and storage. I did purchase a larger, more accurate miter gauge that works well for cross cuts and dado cutting. Harbor Freight has an inexpensive roller stand that's nice for longer rips. Remember the safety glasses and face shield. Use those push sticks! |
