Power & Motor
Both products are corded, run on 120 V, and draw 15 amps. In the U.S., standard residential circuits are 120 V, 15 A, which will support either of the saws.
The 4100XC-10 motor spins at 3650 rpm and the TS6307-00 motor spins at 4600 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 table saws take 10” diameter blades and have a 5/8” arbor. 10” is the most common diameter for table saw blades, so 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 won’t limit your options.
The Bosch accepts dado blades up to 13/16” thick. The Skil takes dado blades up to 5/8” thick.
Size & Capacity
The Bosch has 30” of rip capacity to the right of the blade. The Skil has 25 1/2” of rip capacity to the right side of the blade and has 14” of rip capacity to the left. Generally speaking, 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.
Both products can bevel up to 47°. The 4100XC-10 will cut up to 3 1/8” at a 90° angle and is able to cut up to 2 1/4” deep at an angle of 45°. The TS6307-00 can cut up to 3 1/2” at 90° and will cut up to 2 1/2” deep 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 Skil has a width of 24” and a depth of 25”.
