If you need a great example, look no further than Bosch’s innovative “gravity rise” system. If you’re looking for a saw that can handle larger material, the DeWalt has the edge.īoth saws are equally powerful, but Bosch has a slight edge thanks to its soft-start feature. The Bosch unit comes in at 30” rip capacity on the right side, 8 ½” on the left. The DeWalt 7491RS offers a right-side rip of 32 ½”, and a left-side rip of 24”.
That fence design gives the DeWalt a clear advantage when it comes to rip capacity. This would give the Bosch 4100-10 a slight edge if it weren’t for DeWalt’s innovative fence design, which we’ll discuss later. The DeWalt has an overall work area of 26 ¼” x 22”, and the Bosch features a slightly larger workspace of 29” x 21 ½”. Table Dimensions and Rip Capacityīoth of these saws have a similar work area if you go by the numbers. When it comes to 45° cuts, the Bosch offers ¼” more depth, coming in at 2 ½” with the Dewalt trailing at 2 ¼”, meaning the Bosch will handle marginally thicker materials better. The saws are on equal footing for a 90° cut, each with a cutting depth of 3 ⅛”. Each of these saws comes complete with a 24-tooth ripping blade to get you on your way to completing your first project. The Dewalt weighs 90 pounds, making transportation a bit more complicated.īoth of these saws accommodate 10” blades and can be adapted to use dado blades with a special insert, purchased separately (for example these from Woodcraft). The DeWalt is still a highly portable saw, able to pack down and go relatively smoothly, just not as quickly as the Bosch. This saw is a third lighter than the DeWalt, weighing in at 60 pounds.
