    This portable jobsite table saw head-to-head includes 8 saws from; Bosch, Delta, DEWALT, Hitachi, Makita, Ridgid, SawStop and Skilsaw. Originally, we had also to include Ryobi as a budget friendly option for DIY’ers or guys just starting in the trades. However, we were not able to adapt that saw to our testing rigs so we pulled it from the testing (you may see some photos with the saw but again we’re not including it in the results).
    •Bosch Model 4100-09 10 In. Worksite Table Saw with Gravity-Rise™ Wheeled Stand
    •Delta Model 36-6022 Portable Table Saw with Stand
    •DEWALT Model DWE7491RS 10″ Jobsite Table Saw 32 - 1/2″ Rip Capacity, and a Rolling Stand
    •Hitachi Model C10RJ 10″ Jobsite Table Saw w Fold Roll Stand
    •Makita Model 2705X1 10” Contractor Table Saw with Portable Stand
    •Ridgid Model R4513 Heavy Duty 10 in. Portable Table Saw With Stand
    •SawStop Model JSS-MCA Jobsite Table Saw
    •Skilsaw Model SPT99-12 10″ Heavy Duty Worm Drive Table Saw
    Table Saw Evaluation Format
    Once again our team has put some serious time and effort into our Head-to-Head evaluation to bring you the most comprehensive information available. For this evaluation, we broke things into several categories including: Precision & Accuracy, Performance (power), Price, and Ergonomics. For each of these categories we’ll rank the saws and at the end we’ll name the Best Portable Jobsite Table Saw based on all the results combined.
    •Precision & Accuracy - In this category we evaluated the accuracy of the table saws straight out of the box, and how easy it is to make calibration adjustments. We also discuss the quality of the fence system as it relates to ripping accurate cuts.
    •Performance - The performance evaluation took a very deep dive into the power of the saw motors and how well the saws managed different ripping materials including plywood, pressure treated Southern Yellow Pine 5/4 decking and Mahogany 5/4 decking. We measured saw RPM’s and Amps for each of the cutting materials under constant feed rates.
    •Price - Price is always an important factor in determining which saw is best for a user. We’ve included the current pricing found online for each of the saws at the time of publication.
    •Ergonomics - Ergonomics are really important to users and an important category to consider when purchasing any power tool. In addition to traditional ergonomics, we also included functionality in this category.
    Portable Jobsite Table Saw Features
    Before we present the testing results, it’s helpful to set the stage by listing all the features and specifications for comparison. All 8 of these jobsite table saws are similar in size and capacity. Each of the saws uses a 10 inch blade, 15 amp motor and they are all able to use a dado set.

    Not overly verbose, no horrible background music, great data sets, explanations made complete sense and it was all understandable.

    Rob, I watched this video a few months back and again today. I am blown away by how thorough and detailed you guys were with your testing. You didn't leave a single thing out, and you thought of things I wouldn't have. You've really set the gold standard for how any tool or appliance - or really anything - should be tested. I have an 2015 Skilsaw SPT70 that I bought used. It has been a good saw, but it's a bit beat up so I've been thinking about upgrading. I'll probably go with the SPT99, but there are so many good choices including the SawStop. It's a lot more money, but everybody that I know who has one swears by it. Thanks again for your diligence, dedication and excellent presentation.

    I'm a pro finisher and have had the Hitachi for a few years now. Great saw. He didn't mention that it has an electric brake and a safety switch if power dies, and then it gets re-energized the saw won't suddenly turn on without a reset. I modded my saw a bit with making a phenolic plate and longer out feed support. My table flatness is not very good so I've had to mill it in the centre. It also cuts to 35 inches. Pro tip: use a Bostik surface spray on your saw parts for like new performance.

To be honest, you can't go too wrong with what's out there now. Just stay away from the old Bosch with the crappy steel clip on the fence. It digs in to the aluminum rail eventually.

      Regarding the skilsaw, unfortunately it seems it's not aviable here in EU.

    Dear Bob, here are the decrease speed under load test results according to your beautiful graphics in percentage:
    1st Skilsaw -16.2% 2nd Sawstop -18.55% 3rd Ridgid -20.46% 4th Dewalt -22% 5th Makita -23% 6th Bosch -28.76% 7th Delta -31.03% 8th Hitachi -32.79% .
    My analisis : Skilsaw has the best torque due to its worm system and the new skilsaw tablesaw has rack and pinion system for the fence so you get a supersaw if you are willing to pay the difference, and my pick here is the Dewalt ( value+quality+precision+technlogy/price) which has great torque with conventional motor drive technology, Sawstop is overvaluated, and Hitachi motor looks pretty unfitted---- if you want more watch this enjoyable video several times and make your own conclusions, hello everyone !

    Great job guys, thank you! I’m a building contractor and I’ve been using the DEWALT for 10 years (hard labor) now. And it’s just showing signs of failure. It may be time for something new so this was ver helpful. I’m not concerned with the “out of the box tunings” as I’m reasonably proficient at this. The most concerning test for the DEWALT and others was the Table flatness. As it is difficult to overcome without complicated modifications. Hopefully, it runs differently from unit to unit. I’ll have to do my own testing of this on the individual unit I choose. But I appreciate the head start!

  • @kidkoffee4799

    Excellent job. This is the best table saw review on the net. I just bought the Skilsaw to replace a 20 year old little Delta Shopmaster that just wasn’t “cutting it” for me anymore. If you are concerned with accuracy (and you should be!), then you need to calibrate ANY new saw you buy. “Out of box” setup and QC is going to vary from saw to saw within any of these brands. This is why there are always 1 and 2 star reviews mixed in with even the most highly praised products. Saws that get serious use should be recalibrated periodically as well. That said, I fully understand the reasoning that a lot of people won’t ever do this, but to buy the Sawstop and assume it’s going to be dead-nuts like the one in this review is foolish. Even if their quality control is better (and for the price, it should be!), there will still be variances. So....for my purposes, I took price AND precision accuracy out of the equation, and the Skilsaw was the winner. It has the best performance, the beefiest motor/brushes, the awesome torque of the worm drive, and clearly the best portable stand. Just throwing my reasoning out there to give a different perspective to anyone else who may be beating themselves up like I was trying to decide. I am actually a fan of Hitachi and really wanted to buy that saw for the price, but there are a TON of reviews/complaints out about the soft start failing and I just couldn’t do it. In my opinion, buy the Skilsaw, calibrate it, and own the best performing saw in this group.

    • @brianharrigan8821
      @brianharrigan8821 Před 5 lety

      Well said ! And, it is a fact now that all our old names in tools are mostly made offshore. Japanese products and German were always my close second choice in equipment , though with a new Skilsaw Mag 10" wormdrive I find it performing as expected to all my other Skilsaws , and the newish wormdrive tablesaw is surprisingly good !!

  • @Josh-xv5oe

    I came across your channel when I searched for the best table saw. I never heard of you before. After watching this video, I subscribed. I never did that before. Usually, I have to watch three or four videos before I commit to subscribing, but you were so comprehensive, careful, and professional that I had no choice but to subscribe. And of course I gave you a thumbs up -- I’d give you ten thumbs up if I could. Thank you. You saved me lots of money, time, and frustration.

Just really strange why your not at 1M. Is a marketing thing for sure. For what's it's worth my kids and I appreciate all you do. You guys are a household name in this house!!

      Shane Scholtz It could be the name of the channel it could be a lot of SEO stuff, but I really do think it comes down to loyalty, people are not loyal like they used to be years ago.
      They come to the channel get what they want to MoveOn as opposed to subscribe and hit the like button etc.

  • @FeroxWJB
    @FeroxWJB Před 5 lety +4

    I can appreciate the in-depth review that you guys did. Because of this review, I decided to buy the Hitachi. I will say that I was hoping you would do a standard number of cuts and compare them after the cuts to see how well they retained their trueness. I imagine for the people that really rely on the minute differences in tolerance out of the box, they also would also be fairly interested in how well their tolerances hold up after about 5-10 hours of use. Great information that you've done so far, and I hope to see something in the future with the same saws.

    Hi Rob, as an engineer, I am impressed with your procedures and test methods. EXCELLENT presentation. I am a hobbyist woodworker and I have the Bosch saw. Based on your review and not accounting for an occasional lemon, probably shipping related, It sounds like any of these would be great for non professional woodworkers like me.
    Thanks for the time consuming work you and your team committed to this project. I'd enjoy seeing more videos on youtube with this caliber of professionalism.

    I’ve had my dewalt portable table saw for 3 years now. Still running like a top and I use it a lot (I’m a general contractor and do all my own rough and finish carpentry). The one feature that I love the most is that fence dial. All table saws should have this!

    • @davidjacobs8558
      @davidjacobs8558 Před 5 lety +3

      I have a Makita table saw, and the fence is weak. It doesn't stay parallel to the blade, and it moves if pressure is applied to it.
      I bought it because it is supposed to have more power than other makers, but I regret not buying a dewalt.

Luck for me, I was at Home Depot yesterday and they were sold out. Otherwise I would have already bought it. Now, I'm sold on Dewalt.

    Wow! This is an incredible and detailed review that I really enjoyed! Although I was saddened to see that the Rigid saw faired so poorly, I still enjoy using my Rigid table saw, now in its 5th year of use, with no issues.- Mine is a discontinued model that strangely has built in wheels, but no stand- I use it only at home, so I built a heavy wooden stand- It is a joy to use! Thanks for this thorough review!
