Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
This weekend, I set up my new Bosch table saw. Its the 1031, the new kid on the block and a perfect replacement for my old Craftsman. The 'put-together' went very easily, simply followed the directions which were concise but thorough. Assembly involved positioning of the blade (I didn't bother with the one it came with, a .102" tooth kerf, just put a 10" blade on the arbor that I trusted from another machine), set up the riving knife, guards and anti-kickback prawl. They pretty much just screwed right into place, perfect placement on screw holes, etc. Setup was all of 10 minutes. I did not use the legs, I bolted the unit to my workbench, which was also very easy.
Adjusting the blade to the 0 degree stop went well, though the 45 degree stop didn't look quite right on the scale, the blade measured to 45 degrees. Then I reset to 0 degrees and remeasured and it was fine. That's important. For some saws, one the arbor is moved to an angled bevel, it never successfully gets back to alignment again. This one did just fine.
I have to admit, I was a little worried about it. The table saws that I've used in the past weight hundreds of pounds. At a mere 50-some pounds, I didn't know if a little pressure from a large board onto the fence might just cause the whole unit to flip over, blade still running.
But, my worries aside, I'm happy to say that the Bosch is a pretty sweet little piece of engineering. The construction for the saw makes it ideal for taking along with you, literally turned on its side and carried with one hand. The bevel swing is solid (where the arbor is rotated to provide bevel cuts), the blade was accurate to 90 degrees right out of the box and parallel to the miter slots. The guards tucked neatly over the blade and in test cuts rose as expected.
The fence needed some prodding to get it trued to the blade but I think I've had to do that with every saw I've ever futzed with. The guard and riving blade can be removed easily for thick stock, and clipped right onto the unit, so you don't wind up with a pile of parts later when you're moving the saw to your job site.
The enclosed miter gauge was a little chinsey, which is usually what happens with the 'enclosed miter.' It runs in a t track with a wheel at the front of the tongue. It seemed pretty good in movement, but I still put a coat of wax into the slot and then it really moved like greased lightning.
The saw cut beautifully. I used three difference kinds of wood, ripped them, resawed them, even did a little rabbet and the blade cut true and easy. It left no burn marks and did a good job.
Last, not least, this is the fifty some pounder that could. The saw is a solid performer that can go with you almost anywhere and do a lot of jobs. If you are considering, I would suggest that this saw is a good one and I recommend it to you.
I did not have an opportunity yet to try to use the dado functionality of the saw. With only 1/2" arbor, I'm not sure how much the dado set is going to help me but haven't tried it, so I can't really speak of it.
