DeWalt DWE7491RS Dimensions: Folded, Set Up and on Its Stand

Here are the DeWalt DWE7491RS dimensions that matter for a small shop. The saw’s table is 21-7/8 x 26-3/8 in (556 x 669 mm). Folded on its rolling stand, a DeWalt representative gives the package as about 46 in long, 28 in wide and 29 in high (117 x 71 x 74 cm) with the blade guard on, or 22 in (56 cm) high with the guard removed, the blade lowered and the fence stowed. Set up, it needs about 8 ft (2.4 m) in front of the blade and 8 ft behind to rip an 8-ft board, roughly 18 ft (5.5 m) end to end including the saw, plus room beside it for the fence and for you.

The DWE74911 rolling stand

The “RS” in DWE7491RS is the rolling stand, which DeWalt also sells separately as the DWE74911. DeWalt’s manual for the stand lists:

Source: DeWalt DWE74911 manual (European edition). DeWalt’s UK product page notes a kickstand that lets the stand balance upright for mobility and storage (DeWalt UK).

On its own, with the legs folded and the handle in its compact position, a DeWalt representative gives the stand as about 25.5 in wide, 48 in high and 9 in deep (65 x 122 x 23 cm), in the same Lowe’s answer.

Where the sources disagree

• Weight. DeWalt’s manual says only “more than 55.2 lb” for the saw. Retailers list about 90 lb “tool weight” and 110 lb shipping, and some list 110 lb as the weight with the stand. The stand itself is 15 kg (33 lb) per the European manual; Home Depot’s listing title says 31.5 lb. Expect about 90 lb or more for the saw on its stand, and weigh yours if it matters.
• Stand load rating. DeWalt’s manual says 68 kg (150 lb). At least one retailer lists 200 lb. Use DeWalt’s figure.
• Folded size. The DeWalt representative’s 46 x 28 x 29 in is the most specific figure. A review site gives about 46 x 27-1/2 x 25 in, and one retailer lists a “fold down height” of 23 in. The differences come down to whether the guard and fence are on and how it’s measured. Measure yours folded the way you’ll store it.
• Working table height. DeWalt doesn’t publish the table height on the stand. A DeWalt product expert on Home Depot gives the stand’s mounting surface as 24 in (61 cm), and the table sits above that by the saw’s own base-to-table height. Measure your saw on its stand before you build matching outfeed support.

Storage footprint vs. working footprint

Storage: folded on the stand, the saw takes about 46 x 28 in (117 x 71 cm) of floor if left horizontal. Stood upright on its kickstand, it takes less floor but stands roughly 4 ft (1.2 m) tall, so park it where it can’t tip and where the car door can’t hit it. Removing the guard, lowering the blade and stowing the fence takes the height from 29 in to 22 in, which can be the difference between fitting under a shelf and not.

Working: the saw needs:

• Length: for an 8-ft (244 cm) rip, about 8 ft in front of the blade and about 8 ft behind. With the saw’s depth, that’s roughly 18 ft (5.5 m) end to end.
• Width: the saw, plus the fence at full extension on the right (up to 32-1/2 in of rip), plus room to stand on the left. For full-width plywood rips, the panel extends past the left side of the saw too.
• Support: DeWalt’s manual says to use a work support for long material or panels, at the same height as the saw table or slightly lower. A sawhorse, rollers or an outfeed table can do the job.

Our guide to measuring equipment walks through recording both footprints, and the garage workshop planner lets you check them against your garage and car.

Mounting it without the stand

The manual says the saw must be mounted firmly, and recommends using the four holes in its base to anchor it to a workbench or other rigid frame. It also describes mounting the saw to a square of 1/2 in (12.7 mm) plywood with a 15 x 15 in (38 x 38 cm) opening for dust to escape, then clamping the plywood to a bench whenever you use it. That’s an option if you’d rather store the saw on a shelf than keep the stand.

Will it fit in a one-car garage?

Yes, with the car out. A 12 x 20 ft (144 x 240 in) one-car garage gives about 240 in along the long axis, enough for an 8-ft rip with roughly 22 in to spare if nothing else is in the lane. With the car parked, the folded saw needs a spot about 46 x 28 in along a wall or at the back of the bay. See one-car garage woodshop layouts and track saw vs. table saw if you’re still deciding.

Who this saw suits in a small shop

The DWE7491RS is a jobsite saw: it’s built to be moved, set up and folded away, which is exactly what a shared garage needs. Its 32-1/2 in rip capacity cuts to the middle of a 4 x 8 ft plywood sheet and a little more, which covers most cabinet and shelf parts. What it can’t do is make an 8-ft rip without the full working lane. If you mostly break down plywood, a track saw or guided circular saw may suit your space better; if you make lots of narrow, repeated rips from solid wood, a saw like this earns its spot. Our portable vs. stationary tools guide compares it with a cabinet saw.

Planning checklist

1. Measure your saw folded exactly as you’ll store it, guard on or off.
2. Pick a storage spot that’s clear of the car’s door zone and won’t let the saw tip.
3. Measure the working lane: about 18 ft end to end for 8-ft stock.
4. Measure the table height on your stand and build or set outfeed support at that height or slightly lower.
5. Plan dust collection for the 2-1/2 in port.
6. Use the padlock point on the switch cover if children can reach the saw. The manual recommends a padlock with a shackle up to 1/4 in (6.35 mm) in diameter and at least 3 in (76 mm) of clearance.
