Power & Motor

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

The 4100-10 motor spins at 3650 rpm and the DWE7480 motor spins at 4800 rpm. But don’t get too caught up in these numbers, since the manufacturers measure them under ideal conditions, so they don’t have a direct impact on the saw’s real-world capability to handle different material.

Blade Compatibility

Both saws accept 10” diameter blades and have a 5/8” arbor. 10” is a very popular diameter for table saw blades, meaning it won’t be a problem to find a wide variety of blades for any purpose. Most 8-to-10” blades have a 5/8” arbor hole, so this size of arbor maximizes blade compatibility.

The Bosch takes dado blades up to 13/16” thick. The DeWalt can’t handle dado blades. For woodworkers, this might be a significant deficiency. If you’ll want 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. The DeWalt has 24 1/2” of rip capacity to the right and has 12” of rip capacity to the left side. In general, 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.

Both table saws will cut up to 3 1/8” at 90°. The 4100-10 can bevel up to 47° and can cut up to 2 1/2” deep at an angle of 45°. The DWE7480 can bevel the blade up to 45° and is able to cut up to 2 1/4” 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 23 1/2” and a depth of 23 3/4”.
