Which Should You Buy?

Bosch 4100-10

A strong DeWALT alternative with the best stand in the business. The gravity-rise wheeled stand is incredibly easy to set up and transport.

Pros

  • + Gravity-rise stand is best in class
  • + Smart Guard system for safety
  • + Good dust collection
  • + Solid 25" rip capacity

Cons

  • Rip capacity smaller than DeWALT
  • Fence not as smooth as rack-and-pinion
  • Heavier than some competitors

Makita 2705

Built like a tank. The Makita 2705 is heavier but more rigid than jobsite saws, making it ideal for a permanent shop setup. Excellent cut quality.

Pros

  • + Extremely rigid cast aluminum table
  • + Very smooth, precise cuts
  • + Electric brake stops blade in seconds
  • + Wide miter gauge slots

Cons

  • No stand included
  • Heavy — not truly portable
  • Fence could be improved
  • Higher price for features offered
