Just scored a DeWalt DWE7491RS for $350 - too good to be true?

Seen a DeWalt DWE7491RS at a pawn shop for $350. Looks barely used, blade still sharp. Pulled the trigger, but now I'm second-guessing. Anyone else grabbed one of these? Any known issues?

Dude, that's a steal! I've had mine for 3 years, built cabinets, decks, you name it. Rack-and-pinion fence is money. Just check the arbor for wobble and make sure the dust port isn't cracked. You won't regret it.

Congrats! I'm still saving up for one. I've heard some complaints about the blade guard assembly being flimsy, but for that price, even if you have to replace a part, you're ahead. Does it come with the stand?

Thanks guys! Yeah, it's got the folding stand with wheels. I already took it apart to check - no wobble, ports look good. Going to run some test cuts tomorrow. Any tips on setting up the fence perfectly square?

Easy peasy. Use a combination square against the blade teeth (not the body) and adjust the two bolts on the back of the fence. Watch a YouTube vid if you get stuck. Also, lube the rails with paste wax - keeps it smooth.
