The 4100 features the industry?s first-ever Modular Smart Guard System. Innovations include a super-durable sub-base with carry handles, Bosch-exclusive SquareLock Rip Fence with auxiliary fence slots and a t-slot miter gauge. With all these features, the new 4100-Series 10-inch Portable Table Saw will keep Bosch at the top of the category.
The Bosch Modular Smart Guard System is a ground-breaking new design for portable table saws that includes a blade guard, riving knife and anti-kickback pawls. All three elements are modular and tool free, so users can quickly and easily remove or add each component independently based on the task. The blade guard is particularly user-friendly with a new split-guarding innovation that offers optimal line of sight and maximum protection. The riving knife prevents material from pinching the blade and offers positions for: full upright, "splitting" and "non-thru" cutting. This system is the easiest and most convenient table saw guarding solution on the market.
For professional tools, durability is an essential component of jobsite value. The 4100 is jobsite proven with a super-durable sub-base complete with integrated carrying handles for quick and easy transport. Other improvements include a single-point bevel movement for consistent accuracy, t-slot miter system and enhanced dust collection.
The 4100 also offers Constant Response Circuitry with Soft Start for smooth ramp up speed and to maintain speed under load. At 29 by 21-1/2-inches square, the table saw provides the most usable tabletop space available with a 25-inch rip capacity that can easily handle sheet goods or larger stock. The arbor lock system makes blade changes quick and easy. On-board storage for accessories and the Smart Guard System makes it easier to move between jobs.
Tools and Hardware Reviews of Bosch 4100 10-Inch Worksite Table Saw
Customer Review: A wonderful saw for someone tight on space
Summary: 5 Stars
As someone who makes exacting cuts, has very little space, and demands high quality tools, I have been happy with the Bosch 4100 table saw so far. I did a lot of research before making a decision.
First I wanted a compact saw, but still wanted to stay within the contractor grade saw & motor rather than the typical compact=cheap saw. Next, my saw absolutely had to have a fence that didn't move 1/16" to 1/4" as it was tightening. This saw accomplishes all of this.
In my experience, saws didn't get beyond the fence problem until they passed the $300-$400 mark.
I am happy that Bosch paid attention to a lot of little things about this product. The fence, blade guard, anti-kickback pawls, and miter guage all stow pretty neatly under the saw's table. The cord wraps up nicely around the provided pegs. The fence tightening handle is out of the way and doesn't catch the operator in the stomach as one walks around it.
I wanted a saw that included modern safety mechanisms and whose safety features were such that I wouldn't be bothered by them and tempted to remove them all the time. I have gotten along well with all of these attachments and feel a lot better having the riving knife behind the blade to prevent it from grabbing a hold of a board and throwing it at me. Only for narrow cuts, 1/2" or less do I find myself needing to remove the pawl and frequently the guard can remain in place with one side lifted to its high position thereby clearing the fence altogether and leaving the other side of the blade covered.
Having previously *always* measured from the blade, I wasn't expecting much from the onboard ruler. To my surprise, this is very accurate and reliable. I still measure from the blade for very exacting cuts (less than 1/10th of an inch precision) but normally a cut like that goes to the jointer to bring it to spec.
I am impressed with the "backwards" ruler that you use when you are extending the table. For those who haven't see this, it is a different scale that gives you a reading as the fence is in the proper place and you are sliding out the right side extension.
I like the soft start motor. It doesn't dim the lights and pull maximum amps when it is powered on. Instead, it spins up a little more gently. The motor has good power. An 8 foot rip cut on a 2" walnut piece went without much effort. It makes very smooth cuts for me most of the time. I am able to cut much closer to the final size than with my previous setup; thereby wasting less.
There are a few things that I would like to improve about this saw:
I think it would be a bit safer if the power switch were slightly easier to turn off. It looked to me like one that you could bump and accidentally shut off (a feature I expect of machinery with large switches.) It isn't quite the case. Although the switch is large and pivots on a fairly large radius, it takes a reasonably deliberate motion to turn it off. I find myself turning it off with a push stick most of the time. I have to hit it a little bit to do that.
I have a little bit of trouble with the black part of fence assembly at the ruler hanging up my piece or push stick a little bit. I think it might be about 1/32" higher than the table.
It is a tiny bit inconvenient to get the fence into its storage position beneath the table. It can usually be guided into place only one way from front to back that is a little awkward.
If the fence had a thumb roller wheel on it for really fine adjustments, that would be more direct than tapping it left and tapping it right until it's just right.
At times it would be nice if there were a little bit of additional space to the left side of the blade, but what can I say, I wanted a compact saw!
Beyond those things, I give thumbs up for this saw. I opted for the sawdust bag and use it a lot of the time. Without the bag, it shoots a stream of sawdust out the chute about 5 feet. It has great power, and the stock blade has been nice enough that I haven't even tried the Freud blade yet.
The provision for extra side support and outfeed support addons is appreciated and something I may consider for the future, although I haven't the room to leave those on there permanently. This saw cut pine like it was butter and cut hard woods as easily as my old setup cut pine.
