BOSCH 4100XC-10 10 In. Worksite Table Saw with Gravity-Rise Wheeled Stand

My Bosch 4000 finally gave up after about 20 years. So I bought the current iteration of the same saw. Very accurate, plenty of power. 2 complaints. #1) I had to buy the gravity rise stand - something I have no use for since I don't move the saw around the shop or take it out of the shop. The design of the stand (which works great - if you want to roll the saw around - I don't) makes it 'jiggle' when you use the saw. I will be building a solid stand in the future - so what do I do with the roll around stand? You see the issue there. #2) Lousy dust collection even when hooked up to a shop vac. The 'dust bag' accessory is pathetic - don't buy it. Just hook up to a shop-vac - that helps a great deal. However - even when hooked to the Vac - I still, often, get a stream of saw dust rising up out of the slot at the back of the blade where the plate opens to allow passage for the riving knife. A strip of blue tape will help with that but it's not always practical. Otherwise - I like the saw. It came out of the box VERY accurate, the fence is great, the accessories work well (except the dust bag) and the price seems reasonable to me. If it lasts as long as it's predecessor - I will count myself well satisfied.

This saw shipped free and arrived very quickly. I looked at every comparative product review and video; as well as countless vendors, including the big box stores before placing my order with Amazon. I considered the Skilsaw as an alternative but shied away from it because of poor alignment and calibration reviews. The saw and stand were very well protected in manufacturer's packaging. I have calibrated and used table saws and taught table saw/shop safety since 1980 with an excellent safety record. Out of the box setup had this saw in perfect alignment. The safety features: riving knife, anti kick back dogs, double sided guard/shield are quick and easy to deploy and are well designed. Miter gauge stops are inaccurate but I have never relied on them without double checking with a reliable machinist's square. Blade height at 3.124" will not rip 4x dimensional material. I generally do crosscutting with a chop saw. Fence gauge is confusing but I have never relied on that anyway and always double check using a reliable rule at front and back of blade measuring to teeth on same side. 3,650 rpm is not as optimal as 5,000 rpm delivered by other manufacturers, but seems adequate for most tasks. 4.0 hp motor delivers more torque than many other manufacturers models so bogs down less under load. On board storage of accessories is cleverly designed. The Gravity Rise stand/cart went together easily in 20 minutes using a crescent wrench and the Allen key supplied. Important to note: follow sequential setup photos carefully noting proper component positioning at each step. The stand/cart is easy to operate/collapse/erect/maneuver. It easily rolls through a 30" doorway. These saws hold their value and are rare finds on the used market, usually selling soon after listing, but then you'll never know if it was abused or how heavily it was used. If you need a portable jobsite saw, this is a great buy. If you're doing fine woodworking like making furniture, get a stationary cabinet model.

I have had many job site table saws over the years and I am just totally satisfied with this one. The stand works great, it folds up and down easily the nice sized wheels make it easy to move around. The saw does every thing that I expect of a job site saw and then some. The only thing that I would have differently on it would be a rack and pinion fence. The fence that's on it is a good fence but the rack and pinion controlled fence like the one on the DeWalt is a little more easier to set. Other than that though this is an excellent saw.

This thing is super accurate and easy to store away... but MAN is this thing a pain in the rear to assemble... I had to disassemble it and reassemble it at least once before I can get on my way of getting it done. Don't forget to get that dust collector bag... this saw leaves almost no sawdust behind with something simple like that... it's amazing how clean it gets the job done.

Purchased this table saw for a kitchen remodel. I have moderate table saw experience mostly with larger non mobile saw stop brand saws. This saw is easy to store and convenient on a cramped garage. Decent build quality for a premium price. My main complaint, as with many others related to this saw, is that the fence isn’t made very well and there’s too much play making it hard to be sure it’s square. It works but I wouldn’t use it expecting precise cuts.

Elegant is a term I rarely apply to a power tool. My old Unisaw was nice, but it had many shortcomings. This Bosch saw is all a table saw should be. It is truly elegant. Smooth running. Quiet. Almost vibration free. My only gripe is the advertising. Un announced details that made me happy with my purchase, came as a complete surprise. They got ignored in the ad. Table saws accumulate many spare parts, storing them is always a burden. Incorporated into this unit, are built-in storage places for everything. A work piece for making thin cuts, though not mentioned in the ad, is included with the rip fence. I also got a blade wrench, a recess for storing spare blades, and a pre-cut blade locator for critical cuts. The power cord storage area makes folding and storing much easier. At first I thought there was grease on the table surface, but I was wrong. A teflon like coating makes ripping sticky lumber, pressure treated, green pine, and other hard to feed lumber, a breeze. Bosch could and should do a much better job of selling this tool. I am a happy buyer.

While I’m a novice, primarily using it for weekend projects around the house, this is by far the best table saw I’ve worked with. I really appreciated the ease of setup as well as the easy start, relatively quiet operation, table adjustments, and the ability to easily fold it up and store it out of the way when not in use. Highly recommended!

It’s a beauty

Saw works perfectly. Quality product. Worth the price. I recommend this product.

I prefer to do my finishing cuts with an 80 tooth blade. Good power, and accuracy.

Une scie avec pleins d'options, un charme à travailler, j'aime le support sur roues.

Very good
