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 has a motor that spins at 5000 rpm and the DWE7491RS has a motor that spins at 4800 rpm. You shouldnt get too caught up in the RPM numbers, since the manufacturers test them under ideal conditions, and they dont have a meaningful correlation with the saws real-world ability to handle various types of material.

Blade Compatibility

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

The Bosch accepts dado blades up to 5/8 thick. The DeWalt takes dado blades up to 13/16 thick.

Size & Capacity

The Bosch can rip up to 18 of material on the right of the blade and has 8 1/2 of rip capacity on the left side of the blade. The DeWalt has 32 1/2 of rip capacity on the right and has 22 of rip capacity on the left side. As a rule, more rip capacity is better, but it often also means a larger (and heavier) saw. Think about how big of rip cuts youll be making to help choose the right size saw for you.

Both saws 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 up to 47°. The DWE7491RS can bevel the blade up to 45°.

The table on the Bosch is 22 1/2 wide and 20 deep. The table on the DeWalt is 26 3/8 wide and 21 7/8 deep.
