The blade spins at a no-load speed of 5,800 RPM and can cut 1-3/4 inches at 45° and 2-1/2 inches 90°. A standard 15-amp table saw is going to have a 10-inch blade, so this is clearly one area that DeWalt made a trade-off to run on one battery. The 8-1/4-inch blade on the DeWalt DCS7485 has a thin kerf and 5/8-inch arbor with a design specific to the FlexVolt line and cordless efficiency. It also includes things that even the corded saw doesn’t – a dust collection shroud below the blade that channels more waste toward the dust collector, a brushless motor, large rubber feet, Power Loss Reset that defaults to “off”, and of course, cordless technology. What’s even better is that it includes the same features as DeWalt’s full-sized saw – the telescoping, rack-and-pinion fence with swing arm for large material support, dust collector adapters on the saw and blade guard, tool-free adjustment for the guard and riving knife, table coating, and onboard storage for the blade guard, fence, wrenches, and miter gauge.
