In September of 2016, DeWalt released an updated version of their popular compact job-site table saw. The new model, the DW745, replaced the original DW744 model that had been on the market for 11 years. The most notable difference between the two models is that the DW745 has a slightly more powerful motor, 15 amp vs 14 amp on the DW744. Other than that, they are very similar saws with a 20 rip capacity and weighing in at 45 lbs.
