DeWalt DW743N 250mm Flip Over Combination Saw

The DeWalt DW743N Flip Over Combination Saw changes from a table saw to a mitre saw with no tools. It suits site joiners and workshop users. Four detachable legs and carry handles make it easy to move from site to workshop.

It has a heavy duty induction motor. Power input is 2000W and output is 1550W. Blade speed is 2850 rpm. The blade is 250mm with a 30mm bore. Bevel capacity is 45 degrees. Mitre capacity is 45 degrees left and right.

The handle mechanism retracts the guard in mitre mode. That makes use safer and easier. A three way extractor connection helps with dust. Low noise running suits workshops. Sound power is 106.5dB(A) and sound pressure is 93.5dB(A).

The box holds a TCT blade, a parallel fence, a push stick, a blade guard, an assembly tool and a material clamp. Size is 700mm long and 750mm high. A tool-free flip over change suits mixed work, such as ripping boards and cross cutting trim.

An induction motor has no brushes. It is built for steady torque and long life with little upkeep. That helps when ripping hardwood on the table. In flip over designs one motor and blade serve both modes. Converting the saw swaps the table for the mitre arm. The handle mechanism moves the guard clear in mitre mode. Power input of 2000W against 1550W output shows the motor losses.

Check the saw is set for the right mode before starting. Use the push stick and parallel fence for table work. Keep the blade guard fitted. Clamp stock with the material clamp in mitre mode. Fit the legs firmly before use. Wear ear protection as sound power is 106.5dB(A). Connect an extractor. Unplug before blade changes.
