Bosch 4100-10 review, 10-inch perfect table saw

This is where you need to keep your complete focus on because we will be talking about everything this saw provides.

We did hours of research and compiled all the information that you will need in order to judge this table saw. 

Motor

Let’s get started with the motor. As we all know how important a motor is for a table saw. Let us still tell you because just in case if you don’t know how important a motor is. 

A motor will be responsible for giving you a good experience of using a table saw. If a saw ticks all the boxes of features the best way possible and doesn’t have a good motor. Then I am afraid you won’t be satisfied.

There are a few factors that prove that Bosch 4100-10 has ticked the box of the motor. The horsepower and the amperage are pretty impressive of this table saw.

This saw has a horsepower of 4 HP which allows the users to cut through the tough woods without any issue. Furthermore, this tool has 15 amps motor so you can work for hours after hours because this tool will be able to keep itself cool. As soon as the 15 amps motor combines with no-load RPM of 3650 then you’re dream project will be done in no time!

The motor is very powerful but it is not loud which is a significant advantage because I’m sure none of us want to bear the pain of having a noisy motor.

Blade

Blades are very important in any saw because a proper blade will ensure accuracy. And accuracy is the main reason why we use a table saw, ISN’T IT? 

It’s as simple as this the stronger and sharper your blades are, the higher the chances of making very fewer mistakes. This tool provides a great blade that is capable of making those precise cuts we all admire!

The arbor lock is designed in such a way that it helps to change your blades in no time!

This tool has many advanced featured than the older version which was the Bosch 4100-09. One of the most eye-catching change was the 40 tooth blade. 

The new version has a 24 tooth blade which means there was an omission of 16 tooth. The reason for this was due to cutting quality and portability. Both these features play a vital role in choosing how good a table saw is.

Moreover, we can use dado blades her hence make dado cuts which are very important for many projects. Saws that give the option of dado blades always stand above then the saw that doesn’t.

Fence

A fence will maintain control in your cutting and without one your wood will be in a mess.

Not only that! A bad fence can also cause injuries which might turn out to be fatal. A fence is an important factor to look out for when it comes to buying a table saw. 

With that being said, you don’t need to worry about this saw’s fence much because the Square lock rip ensures precision when cutting.

But to be very honest, the fence could have been better but hey! It’s not the worst in the market keeping the price in mind.

Weight

Not all us buy a table saw for working in one place, some of us work at home or wherever we

feel comfortable. This is why we look for a saw that is light-weight because a light-weight saw will have better portability.

Not all table saw can be built light-weight. Because each table saw has its own specialty. But a big table saw have higher accuracy and they aren’t lightweight because the instrument attached to the saw is pretty heavy and it’s the complete for a lighter saw.

This saw, however, is very light. It weighs only 60 pounds! Which means this saw is very portable and you don’t need to worry about working in one place.

Cutting capacity

Next up is the cutting capacity of the saw. This will prove to you how effective this saw can be while cutting your woods!

The maximum cutting depth at 45° is 2-1/2 and the maximum cutting depth at 90° is 3-1/8 and these values speak for themselves. They are just the way any user wants them to be whether the user is a beginner or professional.

It has a huge 25 inches of ripping capacity and if I was a potential buyer then I would be a fan of this tool already. The maximum width you can cut your wood or metal is 25 inches which makes the saw more versatile and you can also handle medium-sized projects.

Besides, the Square Lock rip fence will allow one thing and that is PRECISION!!! You don’t need to worry about how your project might end up.

Structure

Look at the picture, I am sure you noticed the wheels present at the bottom. As I mentioned before about the portability of saw, the wheels just take this to a whole new level. The wheels make mobility very easy and we user need to spend less time on transporting the saw.

In addition, there is an arbor lock present which makes changing of blades consume very little time. The soft-start circuitry makes it possible to start the motor with less intensity and it also prevents the circuit breaker from getting triggered.

Did you check out the base of the saw?

The base of the saw is made up of iron which makes it durable, so you don’t to even plan on buying a saw for a long time. One problem that annoys users is rust but when it comes to this saw you can be free from STRESS!

Safety

Now we move on to safety. This should be your first priority, and there are many reasons for that. Table saws are fatal, one small mistake here and there can be the reason for your death. 

And if you are a beginner then you should think twice as well as judge your decision before making a move. 

Not all table saws that are there in the market can please you. But Bosch 4100-10 might! 

The blade of the saw has a guard which makes the use of the blade easy as well as safe, the guard is also transparent which allows you to judge your cuts precisely.

Furthermore, let’s not forget about the riving knife and anti-kick pawls which will save you from INSANE kickback!
