Power
It is a powerful machine, and you have to use all the precautions while using it. It comes with a 15amp motor and can go up to 4800RPM in a no-load condition. Its good rip capacity allows you are cutting at your disposal. Its rip capacity is up to 24 1/2 inches which are decent enough. If you are a beginner and looking for a machine with some decent features, you can surely go for this one without thinking too much about it.

Portability
This is one of the most important features of the machine as it is very lightweight and portable as well. It weighs around 45lbs; you can easily carry it in one hand. It is suitable for working on job sites. It doesn’t have a stand, so you need to have a proper solid base to use it. Its assembly and setup process is also very straight forward. For more information, you can download the user manual from here.

Dust Collection
Dust collection is a very important feature that you should look for before you choose a table saw. It has aluminum dust port with two and a half inches hose outlet. You can use the vacuum or go for dust bag. It covers around 60-70% of the dust, which is not very good but decent enough.

RIP Capacity
It has a good rip capacity. If you consider its capability with other Dewalt Models, then it is the best one. You get an adjustable rip fence with the machine. You don’t get the extension for the outfeed which limits the size of the wood that you can use with it.

Fence
It has a conventional fence system that you can adjust at your disposal and have a very precise and accurate cut. It has a mechanical runner and plastic teeth. Movement is very smooth, and you can easily control it.

Build Quality & Ease of Use
It is a very sturdy table saw made up of steel tubes. It is also very stable, as well. Accuracy and precision of the work also depend on your skills as well. If you are working on an uneven surface, you can use the rear feet for the adjustment. The user manual is informative, and all the instructions are very clear. I would highly recommend you to go through it once before you start using it. For more information, you can download the user manual from the link that we mentioned above.
