Power & Motor

The 4100-10 is corded, requires 120 V, and draws 15 amps. Standard U.S. residential circuits are 120 V, 15 A, which will support the.

The DCS7485 is cordless and runs on 60 V batteries.

The 4100-10 has a motor that spins at 3650 rpm and the DCS7485 has a motor that spins at 5800 rpm. But you shouldn’t get too caught up in the RPM numbers, since the manufacturers test them under ideal conditions, so they don’t have a meaningful correlation with the saw’s real-world capability to handle various types of material.

Blade Compatibility

Both saws have a 5/8” arbor. The 4100-10 accepts 10” diameter blades. The DCS7485 takes 8 1/4” diameter saw blades. 10” is the most common diameter of table saw blade, so you should be able to find a large assortment of blades for any purpose. Most 8-to-10” blades have a 5/8” arbor hole, so this size arbor provides a lot of choices.

The Bosch accepts dado blades up to 13/16” thick. The DeWalt doesn’t accept dado blades. If you’re a woodworker, this could be a significant shortcoming. If you might want to use dado blades, you might want to look at a different model.

Size & Capacity

The Bosch has 25” of rip capacity on the right side of the blade and has 8 1/2” of rip capacity on the left. The DeWalt has 24” of rip capacity on the right side and has 12” of rip capacity on the left of the blade. All else being equal, more rip capacity is better, but it often also means a larger and heavier saw. Think about how big of rip cuts you’ll be making to help choose the right size saw for you.

The 4100-10 can bevel the blade up to 47°, can cut up to 3 1/8” deep at an angle of 90°, and is able to cut up to 2 1/2” at a 45° angle. The DCS7485 will cut up to 2 1/2” deep at 90° and can cut up to 1 3/4” at an angle of 45°.

The table on the Bosch is 29” wide and 21 1/2” deep. The table on the DeWalt is 22 3/4” wide and 22 3/4” deep.
