@doorpreppro: If your table saw lurches across the bench every time you flip the switch, that violent jump is the inrush current slamming the motor to full power instantly. The fix is an $11 soft starter — the XS-16/D3 module, rated for 16 amps. Wire it inline and the motor ramps up smooth instead of spiking: less strain on the motor and bearings, way less chance of tripping your breaker, and no more white-knuckle startups. #tablesaw #woodworking #powertools #dewalt #shopupgrade
does this work with Rigid wiring harnesses as well? assuming they're similar

I wonder if it makes it so you don't trip Arc fault breakers every single time you start it

could this be wired into an outlet so everything plugged there gets a soft start?

I didn't know that, thank you so much for responding and letting me know!! I'll do some research and see if I can find what kind of motor that Dewalt DWE7491RS has.
Would you happen to know which module/soft starter that saw would use, then??
Thanks. 😃

My Ryobi 10” sliding miter saw is almost unusable because it’s starting torque is so high that it moves the piece and I have to realign with the blade spinning. I wonder if I can add this in the limited space of a miter saw handle

You're supposed to secure it on a table either by clamps or screws. completely unsafe to operate otherwise.

This is great, I wouldn't mind putting this on my Dewalt Contractor Table Saw!! A detailed wiring video would be awesome, if possible. 😃👍
