But the Sawstop is simply a superior machine, which is why it’s about $800 more than a lot of these saws. I’ve used a number of table saws over the years, all old style full sized saws, that were owned by employers usually, but never operated a small saw like the ones you are testing. I recently purchased an older poorly maintained brick building from around 1900 which I am planning to fix and build an apartment in for myself, nothing fancy. Also, you answered a guys question, who was new to woodworking, saying these are job site saws and not for woodworking, and to get a contractor saw. I am looking to use one for furniture, cabinets, shelving, etc., and want to be sure I make right choice as this will be my first table saw. Budget is not my BIGGEST concern versus getting what is best for what I want to do.
Pairing either of these saws with an aftermarket miter gauge is a big plus. The DeWalt has a slightly larger ripping capacity, but both the Bosch and DeWalt are able rip 4 ft plywood sheets in half. So when it comes to portability, this saw is a winner. One of the lightest and smallest table saws around today. However, other blades are designed for a specific purpose.

This is something you should consider, especially if you are planning to use your table often. As previously mentioned, a cabinet table saw is a weighty piece of equipment. It isn’t likely that you are going to consider moving a cabinet table saw constantly. Once this piece of equipment is in, that’s the place it’s going to stay for a while. Purchasing a cabinet table saw should work fine if you have a dedicated space where you would like to keep the power tool.
Was just curious if you could shed some light on those two saws and what you would personally use over the other and why? Thank you again for all your hard work on this matter and I am looking forward to hearing back from you. Precision & Accuracy – In this category we evaluated the accuracy of the table saws straight out of the box, and how easy it is to make calibration adjustments.
Unfortunately, as it turned out, the gear teeth on the worm drive had worn down to the point where the saw started slip and whine. Now that Sears is defunct , I have no other option than to replace it due to no parts being available. I was wondering if there will be any followup now that you’ve had a chance to use the saws for a few months? Especially interested in how you’re finding the Hitachi is holding up.
And at these current levels on the 14AWG wire, the wire would be significantly warm and in some cases potentially hot. I have both the Delta and the SawStop, cut a piece of 1.5″ x 4″ Mahogany today to test and read 12.2 on the Delta and 12.9 on the SS. In my mind, the most important design feature of a table saw is that everything must lock down tight so you can get a good repeatable cut.
With a 10-inch table saw, you can make a maximum cut up to 3.5-inches deep, and with a 12-inch table saw, you can cut up to 4-inches deep. To cut to the chase I love these Dewalt table saws, I truly do, so much so I have purchased 3 of them in the past year alone. They cut perfect, have amazing options, have a great feel , are durable, and cuts accurate out of the box. But if you have the space for the DeWalt to sit upright at a work station or deep storage shelf, then it may be the better choice, thanks to its more comfortable adjustment controls.
In contrast, belt-drives are located in the stationary model. One feature about belt-drives is that these are more powerful than any table saw models that have direct-drives. The DWE7480 table saw that DeWalt is an excellent choice if you need to take your table saw with you or don’t have much space to put it somewhere permanently. The device is equipped with onboard storage features. This helps to keep together all of the separate parts.
