Power & Motor

Both products 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 DWE7480 has a motor that spins at 4800 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 saws accept 10” diameter blades and have a 5/8” arbor. Ten inches is the most common size for table saw blades, so it shouldn’t be a problem to find a huge variety of blades. Most 8-to-10” blades have a 5/8” arbor hole, so this size of arbor maximizes blade compatibility.

The Bosch takes dado blades up to 13/16” thick. The DeWalt doesn’t accept dado blades. For woodworkers, this could be a significant deficiency. If you anticipate wanting to use dado blades, you might want to look at a different model.

Size & Capacity

The Bosch has 30” of rip capacity on the right of the blade. The DeWalt has 24 1/2” of rip capacity on the right side and has 12” of rip capacity on the left. 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 products can cut up to 3 1/8” at a 90° angle and can cut up to 2 1/4” deep at a 45° angle. The 4100XC-10 can bevel up to 47°. The DWE7480 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 23 1/2” wide and 23 3/4” deep.
