Power & Motor
The 4100-10 is corded, runs on 120 V, and draws 15 amps. Standard U.S. residential circuits are 120 V, 15 A, which will support the.
The DCS7485T1 is cordless and runs on 60 V batteries.
The 4100-10 motor spins at 3650 rpm and the DCS7485T1 motor spins at 5800 rpm. Don’t get too caught up in these numbers, since the manufacturers measure them under ideal conditions, meaning they don’t have a direct impact on the saw’s real-world capacity to handle different material.
Blade Compatibility
Both saws have a 5/8” arbor. The 4100-10 takes 10” diameter blades. The DCS7485T1 accepts 8 1/4” diameter blades. 10” is the most common diameter for table saw blades, so it should be no problem to find a wide variety of blades to suit your needs. Most 8-to-10” blades have a 5/8” arbor hole, so this size arbor won’t limit your options.
The Bosch takes dado blades up to 13/16” thick. The DeWalt can’t handle dado blades. If you’re a woodworker, this might be a significant shortcoming. If you anticipate wanting to use dado blades, consider loooking at a different model.
Size & Capacity
The Bosch has 25” of rip capacity to the right of the blade and has 8 1/2” of rip capacity to the left side of the blade. The DeWalt has 24” of rip capacity to the right and has 12” of rip capacity to the left side. All else being equal, larger rip capacity is better, but it typically also means a larger (and heavier) saw. Think about what types of rip cuts you’ll be making and choose the right size saw for you.
The 4100-10 can bevel its blade up to 47°, can cut up to 3 1/8” at 90°, and will cut up to 2 1/2” deep at a 45° angle. The DCS7485T1 can bevel up to 45°, is able to cut up to 2 1/2” at an angle of 90°, and can cut up to 1 3/4” deep at 45°.
The table on the Bosch has a width of 29” and a depth of 21 1/2”.
