Description of Bosch 4000 10-Inch Worksite Table Saw
10" Heavy Duty Table Saw,15A, 4.4 HP, 3500 RPM, Precision Rip Fence With Patented Square-Lock Technology Provides Accuracy With Every Cut, Advanced Electronic System Includes Soft Start Technology, Smoother Start Ups & Quieter Performance, Torque Response System, Constantly Senses Torque Demand & Instantly Delivers Additional Power, Integrated Cutting Rail System Extends To Full 25" Rip Cutting Capacity, Large, Machined Aluminum To - 29" x 21-1/2", Arbor Lock Allows Single Wrench Blade Change.Bosch's 10-inch Worksite table saw might just be the best of the current bunch. Benchtop table saws--which weigh 60 to 100 pounds and are light enough for one person to carry from the truck to the job site--have increased in popularity in recent years. They set up easily on a workbench or sawhorses and generally feature stable components that make them great for pros and serious hobbyists alike. Although at 60 pounds the Bosch is lighter than any other saw in its class, this saw is no lightweight. It sports a die-cast undercarriage and powerful 4.4-horsepower, 15 amp motor--burly components that make it a serious, albeit slight, contender. Conveniently, the Bosch comes ready to use right out of the box; we were making cuts about 10 minutes after the UPS delivery. Plus, it's the only benchtop table saw with an arbor lock, so mounting the blade is a one-wrench affair (less chance for busted knuckles). The wrench--like all those that come with Bosch tools--is forged, rather than stamped, and so there are no sharp edges that dig into your hand during blade changes. It's a small detail, but one that matters and one that's typical of the attention to detail paid by Bosch engineers.
A flip of the paddle-style on/off switch initiates the soft-start electronics, which ramp the blade up to speed quickly without any disturbing jolt. The electronic feedback, popular on many saws today, keeps the blade turning at a constant speed, no matter what the load. The fence is the heart of any table saw and we found Bosch's to be a beauty. It's well machined and locks securely and accurately to the table. The cam-lock handle is padded, seats flush, and feels good to use. Like the comparable DeWalt saw, the Bosch features an extendable fence that makes it easy to rip four-by-eight panel material. It feels solid and slides smoothly, and the scales are easy to read. (There's even a built-in magnifying glass to cut down on the squint factor.) As with all the new Bosch tools, wrenches and removable items store nicely onboard the saw. The fence snaps into a holder on the side of the saw and stays put, and the miter gauge slides into a slot on the front of the tool--yet another small detail that we appreciate. The bottom line? The Bosch is a powerful saw that handles big stock without bogging down. --Mark McDonald
Tools and Hardware Reviews of Bosch 4000 10-Inch Worksite Table Saw
Customer Review: Probably The Only Table Saw Many People Will Need
Summary: 5 Stars
Bosch has solved the problem with most portable table saws. Every other saw I've used is ok for ripping and non-precision work at the job site, but for quality work, I go to my larger shop saw. Many other bench saws feel like toys. This is a serious tool. Many would find it sufficient for all their table-sawing needs.When combined with the optional side and outfeed supports and the stable and secure stand, it has amazing capacity. It's possible to rip a full sheet of plywood lengthwise without feeling like a Chinese acrobat.
The fence system is excellent, and locks up square and secure. The miter gauge is of good quality, with positive stops at 90 and 45 degrees. Everything stores securely in the molded base, which includes a handy spare blade case built in. And it comes with a good 40 tooth carbide blade. Many bench saws come with a blade that seems to have some other purpose than cutting wood. The dust collection system actually works. There is a smoothness about the way everything functions that is very satisfying.
The only bad point I can find is it's weight. It's on the heavy side for a portable, and the stand is similarly hefty. With the supports and stand, it easily breaks the 100 pound mark. If you have a bad back, it could be a killer.
Yes, it's costly. You can get a nice shop saw for the price of the Bosch and its options. But if I had a choice of only one saw for all my projects, this would be it.
