Power & Motor

Both 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 table saws.

The GTS1031 motor spins at 5000 rpm and the DWE7480 motor spins at 4800 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 accept 10” diameter blades and have a 5/8” arbor. 10” is a very popular diameter for table saw blades, meaning it won’t be a problem to find a huge variety of blades for any purpose. Most 8-to-10” blades have a 5/8” arbor hole, so this size of arbor gives you a lot of options.

The Bosch takes 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 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. Generally speaking, 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 saws can cut up to 3 1/8” at 90° and will cut up to 2 1/4” deep at a 45° angle. The GTS1031 can bevel the blade up to 47°. The DWE7480 can bevel 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 23 1/2” and a depth of 23 3/4”.
