Power & Motor

Both products 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 saws.

The 4100-10 has a motor that spins at 3650 rpm and the DWE7491RS has a motor that spins at 4800 rpm. But you shouldn’t get too caught up in the RPM numbers, since the manufacturers test them under ideal conditions, and they don’t have a meaningful correlation with the saw’s real-world ability to handle various types of material.

Blade Compatibility

Both table saws take 10” diameter blades and have a 5/8” arbor. Ten inches is the most common size for table saw blades, so it won’t be a problem to find a huge 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.

Both products accept dado blades up to 13/16” thick.

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 32 1/2” of rip capacity on the right side and has 22” of rip capacity on the left of the blade. Generally speaking, more rip capacity is better, but it often also means a larger, heavier saw. Think about how big of rip cuts you’ll be making to help choose the right size saw for you.

Both saws can cut up to 3 1/8” deep at a 90° angle. The 4100-10 can bevel its blade up to 47° and can cut up to 2 1/2” at a 45° angle. The DWE7491RS can bevel up to 45° and can cut up to 2 1/4” deep at a 45° angle.

The table on the Bosch is 29” wide and 21 1/2” deep. The table on the DeWalt is 26 3/8” wide and 21 7/8” deep.
