Compare Sawstop’s Jobsite Saw Pro With Bosch® 4100
It’s always hard at the time of the test, it takes SO long to go through all the tests and saws that it’s hard to do everything. These guys are all volunteers so we try to pack in what we can in the time we have with everyone. Im interested in why the the Hitachi did so well in the motor power testing. The slots in the hooks are quite dewalt tools a bit bigger than the pin diameters, so there’s nothing keeping the fence from rattling around loose. I know it’s been a while since the review was done, but thought I’d add my comments in case they might help someone else who’s considering buying the Hitachi saw. I just bought this saw based mostly on its #1 overall ranking.
Knowing the size will help you to buy the correct blades for your model of the table saw. A cabinet table saw is a pretty hefty piece of equipment – once it’s in, it may need to stay there! If you have a dedicated space for it, like a workshop or a garage, then that will work out fine. However, if you need to be able to move your equipment around, it probably isn’t the best choice. Check out the weight of your table saw and see if it fits your needs.
The only reason the included miter gauge slides is because it is drastically undersized and sloppy. I am building a crosscut sled now and need to decide if I will make undersized bars for it, or else try to take a file and smooth the burrs out of the slots. I haven’t tried yet on the 7480 but I am pretty sure it will work fine. While the use of power tools is never completely risk-free, Dewalt has made the guards and safety accessories quick and easy to use. That’s something I always like to see with power tools, and especially table saws. While not as small as the Dewalt FlexVolt table saw , it’s definitely one of the more compact portable table saws I have used.
They’re more accurate than the other types of models – but they’re also more expensive, and they take up a lot of space. If you’re serious about woodwork, have both space and money, and you think you will get a lot of use out of it, it could be a good investment. You may be asking yourself, why do you even need a table saw in the first place?
Optional portable table saw stands are available for both saws. Overall, the Dewalt’s combination blade leaves a slightly smoother finish, but both brands’ general purpose construction blades are good enough to start off with. Cross and rip-cut edges were fairly smooth, but users who plan to cut down a lot of plywood will definitely want to invest in a more suitable saw blade. Both saws provided ample cutting power without a noticeable difference in cutting speeds, so we’re calling this one a tie.
I’ve seen a few of those on YouTube, some even for the DW745 specifically, and I have that on my to-build list. Sounds like I might want to bump it up in priority since straighter cuts on my table saw will surely help my projects all around. The 745 dewalt accessories worked perfectly and had plenty of power, but without the infeed/outfeed supports…would’ve been a nightmare. I’m sure that experience is a major part of it, but it sounds like some infeed support could also help a lot for a beginner like myself.
It was still loud, but not quite as loud as my Bosch. The Bosch screams, and it is almost scary to stand in front of it when its running. November 24, 2011I have the new Bosch 1031 and think it is pretty lousy.
The stand can be fitted to the different DEWALT saw models like DW745, DWE7490X, DWE7480, DWE7499GD, DWE7491RS and others. This uniquely structured moving stand limits the exertion of transportation of it. And to do as such there you can discover elastic wheels under the edge.
Many of the DeWalt Table Saw reviews have stated that this is one heavy device stand. For this reason, this model wouldn’t have a table saw a review stating that it’s lightweight. Upon unboxing, I wasn’t sure how much I cared that the built-in stand for this saw had wheels, but, boy, did I ever use them. If weather rolled in, the saw folded up and rolled to shelter in the garage. This was extremely convenient since I did my cutting in the driveway and stored the saw in the garage overnight.
