Power & Motor

Both table saws are corded, run on 120 V, and draw 15 amps. Standard U.S. residential circuits are 120 V, 15 A, which will support either of the products.

The 4100-10 motor spins at 3650 rpm and the DW745 motor spins at 3850 rpm. Don’t get too caught up in these numbers, since the manufacturers measure them under ideal conditions, and they don’t have a direct impact on the saw’s real-world ability to handle different material.

Blade Compatibility

Both saws take 10” diameter blades and have a 5/8” arbor. 10” is the most common diameter for table saw blades, so you should be able to find a huge variety of blades. Most 8-to-10” blades have a 5/8” arbor hole, so this size arbor maximizes blade compatibility.

The Bosch accepts dado blades up to 13/16” thick. The DeWalt doesn’t accept dado blades. For woodworkers, this might be a significant deficiency. If you anticipate wanting to use dado blades, you might want to look 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 20” of rip capacity to the right and has 12” of rip capacity to the left side. In general, more rip capacity is better, but it typically also means a larger, heavier saw. Think about what types of rip cuts you’ll be making and choose the right size saw for you.

Both table saws can cut up to 3 1/8” deep at a 90° angle. The 4100-10 can bevel the blade up to 47° and can cut up to 2 1/2” at a 45° angle. The DW745 can bevel its blade up to 45° and can cut up to 2 1/4” deep at a 45° angle.

The table on the Bosch has a width of 29” and a depth of 21 1/2”. The table on the DeWalt has a width of 22” and a depth of 22”.
