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 DCS7485T1 is cordless and requires 60 V batteries.
The 4100XC-10 motor produces 3650 rpm and the DCS7485T1 motor produces 5800 rpm. But don’t pay too much attention to these numbers, because the manufacturers measure them under no-load conditions, so they don’t have a useful impact on the saw’s real-world capability to handle different material.
Blade Compatibility
Both table saws have a 5/8” arbor. The 4100XC-10 takes 10” diameter saw blades. The DCS7485T1 accepts 8 1/4” diameter blades. Ten inches is the most common size for table saw blades, so you’ll be able to find a large variety of blades for any purpose. Most 8-to-10” blades have a 5/8” arbor hole, so this size of arbor gives you a variety of options.
The Bosch takes dado blades up to 13/16” thick. The DCS7485T1 doesn’t accept dado blades. If you’re a woodworker, this might be a major shortcoming. If you might want to use dado blades, you might want to look at a different model.
Size & Capacity
The Bosch can rip up to 30” of material on the right of the blade. The DeWalt has 24” of rip capacity on the right side of the blade and has 12” of rip capacity on the left. As a rule, larger 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 4100XC-10 can bevel its blade up to 47°, is able to cut up to 3 1/8” deep at a 90° angle, and will cut up to 2 1/4” at 45°. The DCS7485T1 can bevel up to 45°, can cut up to 2 1/2” deep at an angle of 90°, and is able to cut up to 1 3/4” at a 45° angle.
The table on the Bosch is 30” wide and 22 1/2” deep.
