Read detailed article here: https://www.toolboxbuzz.com/head-to-h... We recently tested portable jobsite table saws in our Head-T0-Head to determine the Best Portable Jobsite Table Saw, however we excluded the cordless saws. In this head-to-head we’re pitting the two current cordless table saws against each other. The DEWALT 60V FlexVolt DCS7485T1 8-1/4″ against the Milwaukee M18 2736-21HD 8-1/4″. While these two saws look pretty similar they certainly are powered using very different voltages with the DEWALT using a 60V MAX (54 volt) battery pack and motor and the Milwaukee using an 18 volt pack and motor. While they use different voltages, they were both tested with the same total battery pack energy of 216 watt-hours.

Table Saw Evaluation Format Just like our previous corded table saw head to head we’re testing the cordless table saws in the same format. For this evaluation, we broke things into several categories including: Precision & Accuracy, Performance (power), Price, and Ergonomics. Precision & Accuracy – In this category we evaluated the accuracy of the table saws straight out of the box, and how easy it is to make calibration adjustments. We also discuss the quality of the fence system as it relates to ripping accurate cuts. Performance – The performance evaluation took a very deep dive into the power of the saw motors and how well the saws managed different ripping materials including plywood, pressure treated Southern Yellow Pine 5/4 decking and IPE 3/4 decking. We measured saw RPM’s and Amps for each of the cutting materials under constant feed rates. Price – Price is always an important factor in determining which saw is best for a user. We’ve included the current pricing found online for each of the saws at the time of publication. Ergonomics – Ergonomics are really important to users and an important category to consider when purchasing any power tool. In addition to traditional ergonomics, we also included functionality in this category.
