Power & Motor

Both products are corded, require 120 V, and draw 15 amps. Standard U.S. residential circuits are 120 V, 15 A, which will support either of the saws.

The GTS1031 motor produces 5000 rpm and the DWE7485 motor produces 5800 rpm. But don’t pay too much attention to these numbers, because the manufacturers measure them under no-load conditions, and they don’t have a strong impact on the saw’s real-world ability to handle different material.

Blade Compatibility

Both table saws have a 5/8” arbor. The GTS1031 accepts 10” diameter saw blades. The DWE7485 takes 8 1/4” diameter blades. Ten inches is a very popular size for table saw blades, meaning you should be able 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 5/8” thick. The DeWalt can’t handle dado blades. For woodworkers, this could be a significant deficiency. If you’ll want to use dado blades, consider loooking at a different model.

Size & Capacity

The Bosch has 18” of rip capacity on the right of the blade and has 8 1/2” of rip capacity on the left side. The DeWalt has 24 1/2” of rip capacity on the right of the blade and has 12” of rip capacity on the left side. All else being equal, larger rip capacity is better, but it often also means a larger, heavier saw. Think about how big of rip cuts you’ll be making to help choose the right size saw for you.

The GTS1031 can bevel the 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 DWE7485 can bevel up to 45°, can cut up to 2 9/16” 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 is 22 1/2” wide and 20” deep. The table on the DeWalt is 22 3/4” wide and 22 3/4” deep.
