 Great Saw! January 2, 2009
I love this saw. The rack and pinion fence system is great, and easily calibrated. Powerful motor. This new version is considerably lighter, hopefully this doesn't mean less durable. I guess time will tell. A co-worker of mine complains that the blade and motor elevator gums up easily, but I don't know of a portable table saw that doesn't have that problem, and the easy solution to that is: keep it clean!
Watch the blade alignment December 3, 2008

I've liked it for the month I've had it, but the blade went out of alignment and caused a serious kick-back issue. I followed the (very skimpy) directions for adjustment but wasn't able to fix it.
I went on-line and found a recall for saws made in 2007 with the identical symptoms. My saw doesn't fall under the recall, but since it's only a month old the warranty covers it.
One other issue. Is it just me or are the holes for bolting the saw to the stand too close to the legs to allow a secure attachment?
Those issues aside, it's a handy easy saw for what I want to do right now, but when moving up to a more exacting type of work I may well trade up. A manual adjustment of the blade angle doesn't encourage precision.
Update 12.08- adjustment went fine- problem solved.

I have had one of these for years and the only complaint I have is that the fence will not stay even with the blade. I swapped it out for a new one and it has the same problem.
Good saw, unresolved problem March 19, 2008

I spent considerable time researching job-site table saws and concluded that the DeWalt DW744X was the best fit for my work. The 24" rip capacity was a major consideration along with the need for an overall top-quality tool.
However, some of these saws have a manufacturing defect as noted by others on this forum. Yesterday [17 March 2008] I spoke with a Black & Decker representative who told me they were presently considering what action to take on this issue. It has been resolved on saws of very recent manufacture but potentially defective saws are still out there on the market. Once a decision on a recall or other corrective action is made, I expect B&D will have a range of serial numbers that could be defective. No such information is presently available. Though I need to get a saw on site soon, I am going to wait a couple of weeks to see what B&D is going to do about this. The 744X remains my saw of choice but I am not going to risk buying one that has a known defect.
I gave it three stars because I had to fill in something. I expect that without the defect it would be a four or five-star product. With the defect it would rate zero stars. Let's hope for quick action by B&D.
