<p>I am leaning toward the Dewalt. While the P+C has the rolling stand already I can wait for that as an upgrade and purchase the Dewalt. Yes it was the fence adjustment after a quick trip to HD and Lowes to check them out. Probably be bringing one home next weekend. </p>

<p>I prefer the rack and pinion "fence adjusting" feature on the Dewalt, over the Bosch.</p>
<p>I've learned other methods to "fine-tune", to make "<strong>accurate</strong>" setting on the Bosch fence.</p>

<p>Rick I have the dewalt 745 table saw its a great saw ,nice and robust .The rack and pinion fence system is very good ,but the saw is fairly noisey in use hope that helps .The dewalt sells in the uk for £400 = $ 600 .</p>
