Dewalt DW745 $225 at Home Depot

[rvieceli]

Home Depot just dropped the price on this job site saw from 299 to 225.

I know that some of you use or have looked at these.

Oh wow, wasn't planning on getting this for awhile, but this price is great. Maybe even take my father along for his veterans discount [wink] He always yells when I don't so why not, right

And I'm looking for a lugable saw.  Dang.  It's in stock at my Home Despot. 

Thanks for the heads up.  I really appreciate it. 

We know for sure now that the SawStop jobsite will be available in March.  But I can't see this saw dipping below $225 ever.

Just an FYI, this model is the 3,850 rpm model vs 4,800 one for $329. Not sure how the less RPM motor will do with hard woods.

Thoughts????

That relatively expensive Bosch is 3650 no load RPMs. 

If I did rip hardwood I'd assume the edge would need some work.  My need is strictly for jobsite work.  And what I"m looking for is light weight.  I will be lugging the saw, can't attach it permanently to anything.

I've been lugging this saw around jobsites for about 4 years now and I think its a great jobsite saw especially if you get the rolling stand for it , very easy to separate from the stand and load in the truck or lug up a flight of stairs, the rack and pinion fence is great for fast production cuts like hardwood flooring etc.

Dont mean to hijack your thread, but ugh that is a steep price difference with us over across the pond. The cheapest deal I can find over here in The Netherlands for the Dewalt DW745 is € 605, that's a whopping $736...for from what I understand identically the same saw...how is that possible? That's nearly triple the price!
