Power & Motor
Both 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 4100XC-10 has a motor that spins at 3650 rpm and the GTS1031 has a motor that spins at 5000 rpm. 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 to suit your needs. Most 8-to-10” blades have a 5/8” arbor hole, so this size arbor maximizes blade compatibility.
The 4100XC-10 accepts dado blades up to 13/16” thick. The GTS1031 takes dado blades up to 5/8” thick.
Size & Capacity
The 4100XC-10 has 30” of rip capacity on the right side of the blade. The GTS1031 has 18” of rip capacity on the right and has 8 1/2” of rip capacity on the left side. 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 bevel the blade up to 47°, can cut up to 3 1/8” deep at a 90° angle, and can cut up to 2 1/4” at a 45° angle.
The table on the 4100XC-10 is 30” wide and 22 1/2” deep. The table on the GTS1031 is 22 1/2” wide and 20” deep.
