The Best Portable Table Saws Tested in 2023

The DeWalt 10-inch Table Saw offers a combination of jobsite toughness, good capacity, and the potential for precise accuracy, all of which make it a popular choice with trade professionals. Like most table saws, it's fitted with a general-purpose 24-tooth carbide-tipped blade. The maximum depth of cut at 90 degrees is 3⅛ inches; at 45 degrees, it's 2¼ inches. Its ripping capability is 22 inches to the left of the blade and a class-leading 32½ inches to the right. The sturdy extending fence works on a precise rack-and-pinion track.

In testing, we found that this was the most stable saw in the bunch, with an aggressive leg flare that would make tipping this thing over while cutting long, heavy stock nearly impossible. But it didn't take up any more of a footprint than the other saws in the group. Thanks to the saw's folding legs and a modest wheel kit, we were able to break down and store this saw more easily than others. However, at 110 pounds, it was still heavy for one person to move.

The included construction-grade blade was terrific. The rack-and-pinion fence worked smoothly and it locked securely. The push-stick storage on the fence is a nice feature. Unlike some saws that sound like they are working hard, this saw displayed excellent power and smooth performance throughout testing on Eastern white fir 2-by, 2-by Hem-Fir framing, 5/4-pressure-treated Southern pine decking, and typical 1-by.

There's little to criticize about this table saw. However, while the wheeled cart provided very good stability, it makes it heavier than some. The miter guide is flimsy and small, and this less-than-great feature doesn't match the rest of the machine. Its price may also put it beyond the range of some DIY users.
