Power & Motor
Both saws are corded, require 120 V, and draw 15 amps. Standard U.S. residential circuits are 120 V, 15 A, which will support either of the table saws.
The 4100-10 motor produces 3650 rpm and the TS6307-00 motor produces 4600 rpm. But don’t pay too much attention to these numbers, because the manufacturers measure them under no-load conditions, and they don’t have a strong impact on the saw’s real-world ability to handle different material.
Blade Compatibility
Both products take 10” diameter saw blades and have a 5/8” arbor. 10” is a very common diameter of table saw blade, which means it shouldn’t be a problem to find a huge assortment of blades to suit your needs. Most 8-to-10” blades have a 5/8” arbor hole, so this size of arbor won’t limit your choices.
The Bosch accepts dado blades up to 13/16” thick. The Skil takes dado blades up to 5/8” thick.
Size & Capacity
The Bosch has 25” of rip capacity on the right of the blade and has 8 1/2” of rip capacity on the left side. The Skil has 25 1/2” of rip capacity on the right of the blade and has 14” of rip capacity on the left side. In general, 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.
Both saws can bevel their blades up to 47° and can cut up to 2 1/2” at an angle of 45°. The 4100-10 is able to cut up to 3 1/8” deep at a 90° angle. The TS6307-00 will cut up to 3 1/2” at 90°.
The table on the Bosch is 29” wide and 21 1/2” deep. The table on the Skil is 24” wide and 25” deep.
