Power & Motor

Both table 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 saws.

The 4100XC-10 motor spins at 3650 rpm and the DWE7485 motor spins at 5800 rpm. Don’t get too caught up in these numbers, since the manufacturers measure them under ideal conditions, and they don’t have a direct impact on the saw’s real-world ability to handle different material.

Blade Compatibility

Both products have a 5/8” arbor. The 4100XC-10 takes 10” diameter blades. The DWE7485 accepts 8 1/4” diameter blades. 10” is a very popular diameter for table saw blades, meaning it won’t be a problem to find a wide variety of blades for any purpose. 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 can’t handle dado blades. For woodworkers, this might be a significant deficiency. If you’ll want to use dado blades, consider loooking at a different model.

Size & Capacity

The Bosch has 30” of rip capacity to the right side of the blade. The DeWalt has 24 1/2” of rip capacity to the right and has 12” of rip capacity to the left side. In general, more rip capacity is better, but it typically also means a larger, 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°, 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 DWE7485 can bevel up to 45°, can cut up to 2 9/16” 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 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”.
