Review on πŸ”ͺ Enhance Precision with DEWALT DWE7402DI Dado Throatplate for 10-Inch Portable Table Saw by Mike Starling

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Waste of money - poor quality

Conclusion You will buy this item because it is Dewalt and you expect it to fit your Dewalt table saw. Then buy another needle plate from another manufacturer to correct your mistake! It's made of very flexible plastic and is a piece of junk. It flexes a lot and doesn't properly support the workpiece as you work, resulting in very uneven cuts. I've tested this thing on a pry bar and tried changing the pressure etc to get good cuts but it was an unsuccessful effort. On large pieces where most of the piece does not extend beyond the needle plate you can get decent cuts, but when cutting small or narrow pieces forget it, the bend is too severe. Just buy a good solid zero gap insole and avoid disappointment. Dewalt should be ashamed of such a weak product. I would be willing to pay more for a good all metal but do they offer that? Save yourself from grief. I hope this helps you with your purchase decision.

Pros
  • Lots of good vibes
Cons
