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 GTS1031 motor spins at 5000 rpm and the DW745 motor spins at 3850 rpm. Don’t get too caught up in these numbers, since the manufacturers measure them under ideal conditions, and they don’t have a meaningful impact on the saw’s real-world ability to handle different material.

Blade Compatibility

Both saws take 10” diameter blades and have a 5/8” arbor. 10” is a very popular diameter for table saw blades, meaning you should be able to find a huge variety of blades. Most 8-to-10” blades have a 5/8” arbor hole, so this size of arbor gives you a lot of options.

The Bosch accepts dado blades up to 5/8” thick. The DeWalt can’t handle dado blades. If you’re a woodworker, this might be a significant shortcoming. If you anticipate wanting to use dado blades, consider loooking 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 20” of rip capacity to the right of the blade and has 12” of rip capacity to the left side. In general, 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.

Both products can cut up to 3 1/8” deep at 90° and will cut up to 2 1/4” at a 45° angle. The GTS1031 can bevel its blade up to 47°. The DW745 can bevel the blade up to 45°.

The table on the Bosch has a width of 22 1/2” and a depth of 20”. The table on the DeWalt has a width of 22” and a depth of 22”.
