Power & Motor

The 4100XC-10 is corded, runs on 120 V, and draws 15 amps. Standard U.S. residential circuits are 120 V, 15 A, which will support the.

The DCS7485 is cordless and runs on 60 V batteries.

The 4100XC-10 motor spins at 3650 rpm and the DCS7485 motor spins at 5800 rpm. Don’t get too caught up in these numbers, since the manufacturers measure them under ideal conditions, so they don’t have a meaningful impact on the saw’s real-world capability to handle different material.

Blade Compatibility

Both products have a 5/8” arbor. The 4100XC-10 takes 10” diameter blades. The DCS7485 accepts 8 1/4” diameter blades. 10” is the most common diameter for table saw blades, so you’ll be able to find a large variety of blades. Most 8-to-10” blades have a 5/8” arbor hole, so this size arbor gives you a lot of options.

The Bosch takes dado blades up to 13/16” thick. The DeWalt doesn’t accept dado blades. If you’re a woodworker, this might be a significant shortcoming. If you might want to use dado blades, you might want to look at a different model.

Size & Capacity

The Bosch has 30” of rip capacity to the right side of the blade. The DeWalt has 24” of rip capacity to the right and has 12” of rip capacity to the left side of the blade. Generally speaking, a 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.

The 4100XC-10 can bevel its blade up to 47°, can cut up to 3 1/8” deep at an angle of 90°, and is able to cut up to 2 1/4” at a 45° angle. The DCS7485 will cut up to 2 1/2” deep at 90° and can cut up to 1 3/4” at an angle of 45°.

The table on the Bosch has a width of 30” and a depth of 22 1/2”. The table on the DeWalt has a width of 22 3/4” and a depth of 22 3/4”.
