The original company was started in 1923 by Raymond E. DeWalt, the inventor of the radial arm saw.
There’s a blower port on the side, onboard cord storage, and an accessory storage bag for keeping all of the included accessories within reach. The two saws sport 15-Amp (~1800W at 120V) motors, with the Dewalt having a slightly higher top speed of 4,800 RPMs. The Bosch is a bit slower, but I have to say I’m a big fan of Bosch’s “soft start” feature. This smart circuitry manages the power load into a more gradual startup curve, meaning it won’t trip a circuit breaker in your home or worksite. This is especially helpful if you’re running a shop vac at the same time.
After that, it really comes down to doing some of your own research in terms of who you want to get behind with your hard-earned dollars. From our perspective, however, we see two companies helping to make the industry a better place to work. Competition breeds tool innovation—and that almost always helps make things better for consumers. Between the two, we have to say that both do an excellent job of providing speed modes, tool control, and protection.
With the included remote I could realistically put this up almost to the ceiling and put the wall-mount dust deputy underneath of it. I do find it odd, hearing that any kind of light, laser, or stationary unmanned tool doesn’t come with some sort of remote operation method. That kind of oversight would be one of my first design thoughts, if I were to design the electronics… Bluetooth remote operation, or some sort of universal light/laser/on-off RF remote for these kinds of tools. If you can get a remote shutter button for your phone, it shouldn’t be a terribly difficult, or expensive, thing to add to the operation. Looks like a nice tool, though there’s obviously some funny business going on with the specifications.
Since its beginning in 1924, dewalt accessories tools has been creating and manufacturing quality, durable tools. Dewalt manufactured its first power tool nearly 90 years ago–an electric universal woodworking machine–and it has since become a power tool manufacturing leader well known to both professionals and laymen. Whether you’re a construction professional, woodworker, mechanic, plumber, carpenter, electrician, HVAC specialist or DIYer, chances are you will find a Dewalt tool that meets your needs. Here at Toolbarn, we carry more than 200 electric and cordless Dewalt products. Everything from drills, impact wrenches and saws to planers, routers and joiners, we’ve got.
Both of these saws accommodate 10” blades and can be adapted to use dado blades with a special insert, purchased separately . Each of these saws comes complete with a 24-tooth ripping blade to get you on your way to completing your first project. Their portability makes them great for moving from job site to job site, and they store easily for those needing a minimalist table saw for a home woodshop. Whether you’re a contractor or a hobbyist, a jobsite table saw is an excellent tool to have in your arsenal. We help you create solutions utilizing web, email, mobile, print, mail, and more.
When you realize the volume of very trade-specific tools, the pricing skews upward a bit. DeWalt may provide just a bit more options for tools falling into those lower price points. That’s not to say that both companies don’t make high-end tools, nor does it imply that you can’t find entry-level tools for budget-minded users. Overall, we don’t see enough of a difference here as to really draw a major distinction. Clearly, both brands have a large commitment to making tools for professional contractors, tradesmen, and serious DIYers.
