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 C10RJS motor produces 4500 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 useful impact on the saw’s real-world ability to handle different material.

Blade Compatibility

Both table saws accept 10” diameter saw blades and have a 5/8” arbor. 10” is a very common diameter of table saw blade, which means it shouldn’t be a problem to find a huge assortment of blades for any purpose. Most 8-to-10” blades have a 5/8” arbor hole, so this size arbor won’t limit your choices.

The Bosch takes dado blades up to 5/8” thick. The Metabo HPT accepts dado blades up to 13/16” thick.

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 of the blade. The Metabo HPT has 35” of rip capacity on the right and has 22” of rip capacity on the left side. In general, more rip capacity is better, but it often also means a larger and heavier saw. Think about how big of rip cuts you’ll be making to help choose the right size saw for you.

Both products can cut up to 3 1/8” at an angle of 90° and are able to cut up to 2 1/4” deep at a 45° angle. The GTS1031 can bevel its blade up to 47°. The C10RJS can bevel up to 45°.

The table on the Bosch is 22 1/2” wide and 20” deep. The table on the Metabo HPT is 28 3/4” wide and 22” deep.
