Power & Motor
The GTS1031 is corded, runs on 120 V, and draws 15 amps. Standard U.S. residential circuits are 120 V, 15 A, which will support the.
The DCS7485T1 is cordless and runs on 60 V batteries.
The GTS1031 motor spins at 5000 rpm and the DCS7485T1 motor spins at 5800 rpm. But don’t get too caught up in these numbers, since the manufacturers measure them under ideal conditions, so they don’t have a direct impact on the saw’s real-world capability to handle different material.
Blade Compatibility
Both table saws have a 5/8” arbor. The GTS1031 takes 10” diameter blades. The DCS7485T1 accepts 8 1/4” diameter blades. 10” is the most common diameter for table saw blades, so it shouldn’t be a problem to find a large variety of blades for any purpose. Most 8-to-10” blades have a 5/8” arbor hole, so this size arbor gives you a lot of options.
The Bosch takes dado blades up to 5/8” thick. The DeWalt doesn’t accept dado blades. If you’re a woodworker, this might be a significant shortcoming. If you might want to use dado blades, you might want to look at a different model.
Size & Capacity
The Bosch has 18” of rip capacity to the right of the blade and has 8 1/2” of rip capacity to the left side. The DeWalt has 24” of rip capacity to the right and has 12” of rip capacity to the left side of the blade. 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 GTS1031 can bevel its blade up to 47°, is able to cut up to 3 1/8” at a 90° angle, and will cut up to 2 1/4” deep at 45°. The DCS7485T1 can bevel up to 45°, can cut up to 2 1/2” at an angle of 90°, and is able to cut up to 1 3/4” deep at a 45° angle.
The table on the Bosch has a width of 22 1/2” and a depth of 20”.
