Bosch 4100-09 10-Inch Worksite Table Saw with Gravity-Rise Stand Reviews
The saw was ALMOST totally square, true and ready to go out of the box (I had only to make a simple adjustment to the splitter, which was not properly aligned with the blade). I have only good things to say about this saw. Even the included 40-tooth combo blade stood up really well. The table expands to about 40" wide, which is very large for a portable saw (although you might want to make a sled so you can accomodate larger materials for crosscutting, as the table isn't very deep in front of the blade). The blade guard, pawls and splitter are easy to install and remove when necessary.
The fence is solid and stable during use, but very easy to adjust. I purchased this table saw about four months ago, and I have found it to be absolutely outstanding in every way. Delivery was fast and free, and set-up was simple, straightforward and well-documented. If you have only a small garage workspace like I do, but you want a fully-functional saw, look no further. The only thing that wasn't up to snuff was a kind of wobbly miter gauge, but a lot of saws don't include any miter gauge, so I can't complain (but I replaced it with an Incra anyway).
Blade changes are easy.
I even laughed at myself on that part. Easy to move, accurate, clean cuts for the price, I am impressed. The blade that came on the saw is pretty smooth, but I still finish it off with the planer. I've been using the new saw everyday after I get home from work for the last three weeks and have built a ash dresser and pine kitchen isle. Because I'm older it was getting harder to lift and move the old saw, so the "stand-on-wheels" was one feature I really needed. My last table saw I bought in the early 70's.
A friend purchased his Bosch 4100 and I tried it out and was amazed at its features. You might want to read the directions on putting the stand together rather than trying to "macho wing-it". The magnified ruler on the saw is very accurate and easy to use don't need to re-check with the folding ruler.
I'd sacrifice the mitre guage and riffin attachment for decent dust control. Sure that projection helps with stability.but its in the way. No Problem on a rough frame job site; but do a high end remodel where compact size and fine dust containment is essential and the crew hooking cords, huffin dust and shop-vac'n nooks and crannies. But you see the way the gravity base projects off the left side about 12" at foot hieght.Thats a great foot tripper, hose and cord grabber. Forget about left side walk by feeding close to the table.a very common practice. almost enjoyable. A clean work environment is more productive, safe and appreciated. What about dust collection.
It's great that the accessories store right on the sides of the saw. The saw and stand are of excellent quality, the saw works perfectly, the safety features work easily and well - and it's easy to store it in the upright position in front of the garage.
It took us a couple of hours to put it all together - and even *I* can work the gravity-rise stand. and knew what he wanted in a portable table saw - and was not disappointed with this Bosch saw.
My husband and I bought this saw after a lot of online research. He used to be a carpenter (in another lifetime).
Great work, Bosch. There is even a spot for the Allen wrench.
;-) We spent some more time making sure everything was set up perfectly before using it for the first time.
