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 products.

The 4100XC-10 motor spins at 3650 rpm and the SPT99T-01 motor spins at 5300 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 saws have a 5/8” arbor. The 4100XC-10 accepts 10” diameter blades. The SPT99T-01 takes 8 1/4” diameter blades. 10” is a very popular diameter for table saw blades, meaning it shouldn’t be a problem to find a wide variety of blades. Most 8-to-10” blades have a 5/8” arbor hole, so this size of arbor maximizes blade compatibility.

The Bosch accepts dado blades up to 13/16” thick. The Skilsaw takes dado blades up to 1/2” thick.

Size & Capacity

The Bosch has 30” of rip capacity to the right side of the blade. The Skilsaw has 25” of rip capacity to the right and has 12” of rip capacity to the left side. All else being equal, a larger rip capacity is better, but it typically also means a larger and 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°, can cut up to 3 1/8” deep at an angle of 90°, and is able to cut up to 2 1/4” at a 45° angle. The SPT99T-01 can bevel the blade up to 46.5°, will cut up to 2 5/8” deep at 90°, and can cut up to 1 7/8” at an angle of 45°.

The table on the Bosch has a width of 30” and a depth of 22 1/2”. The table on the Skilsaw has a width of 23 1/2” and a depth of 21 1/2”.
