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 table saws.

The 4100XC-10 has a motor that spins at 3650 rpm and the DW745 has a motor that spins at 3850 rpm. You shouldnt get too caught up in the RPM numbers, since the manufacturers test them under ideal conditions, and they dont have a meaningful correlation with the saws real-world ability to handle various types of material.

Blade Compatibility

Both products take 10 diameter blades and have a 5/8 arbor. Ten inches is a very popular size for table saw blades, meaning it shouldnt be a problem to find a huge variety of blades to suit your needs. Most 8-to-10blades have a 5/8arbor hole, so this size of arbor gives you a variety of options.

The Bosch accepts dado blades up to 13/16 thick. The DW745 cant handle dado blades. If youre a woodworker, this might be a major shortcoming. If you anticipate wanting to use dado blades, consider loooking at a different model.

Size & Capacity

The Bosch can rip up to 30 on the right of the blade. The DeWalt has 20 of rip capacity on the right side of the blade and has 12 of rip capacity on the left. In general, more rip capacity is better, but it often also means a larger (and heavier) saw. Think about how big of rip cuts youll be making to help choose the right size saw for you.

Both saws can cut up to 3 1/8 deep at 90° and will cut up to 2 1/4 at a 45° angle. The 4100XC-10 can bevel its blade up to 47°. The DW745 can bevel the blade up to 45°.

The table on the Bosch is 30 wide and 22 1/2 deep. The table on the DeWalt is 22 wide and 22 deep.
