Features & Benefits

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 saws.

The 4100-10 has a motor that spins at 3650 rpm and the SPT99T-01 has a motor that spins at 5300 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 products have a 5/8” arbor. The 4100-10 accepts 10” diameter blades. The SPT99T-01 takes 8 1/4” diameter saw blades. 10” is the most common diameter of table saw blade, so you’ll be able to find a huge assortment 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 Skilsaw takes dado blades up to 1/2” thick.

Size & Capacity

Both table saws can rip up to 25” of material on the right side of the blade. The Bosch has 8 1/2” of rip capacity on the left. The Skilsaw has 12” of rip capacity on the left side. In general, 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.

The 4100-10 can bevel the blade up to 47°, can cut up to 3 1/8” at a 90° angle, and can cut up to 2 1/2” deep at a 45° angle. The SPT99T-01 can bevel up to 46.5°, can cut up to 2 5/8” at a 90° angle, and can cut up to 1 7/8” deep at a 45° angle.

The tables on both saws are 21 1/2” deep. The table on the Bosch is 29” wide. The table on the Skilsaw is 23 1/2” wide.
