Great table for a small shop
Rating: 5
I purchased this saw for two reasons; I really like the quality of my other Bosch tools and I wanted a soft start motor. What I wasn't expecting is the very thoughtful engineering that Bosch put into this saw. The table is large to accommodate larger cuts, the blade accuracy was spot on right out of the box, and the gravity rise stand is fantastic. Bosch made a storage space for the blade guard, pawl, miter gauge and push stick all of which actually work even when folding up the table for storage. I have cut Purple Heart, padauk and hard maple without any evidenced strain on the motor. The dust collection is 2-1/2" and works surprisingly well for a table saw. The fence was also accurate out of the box, square with the blade and it is very substantial compared to others I have used. I am very happy with this saw and love that it folds up without breaking my back into a small footprint. I would recommend this saw and would buy it again.

Great for its intended purpose
Rating: 5
I bought this due to downsizing to replace my 20 year old Delta Unisaw. So far I've only used it on sheet material but for that it was good. No where near the cutting power of the old unisaw but I think it will be just what I need for 90% of my needs. Probably not the best for long 2x rips but it should get the job done. I really like the stand and portability.

Convenient and powerful saw!!
Rating: 5
Love the portability, fairly priced, this is our 2nd saw and the first is still working great as well!! The new model has tires that do NOT require air, much better as the air filled tires leaked constantly, but it truly is a great asset to the tool trailer! Thanks

Simply the Best
Rating: 5
The Bosch 4100-09 10-inch Worksite Saw and Gravity-Rise Stand is a perfect match. The Gravity-Rise Stand itself is an engineering marvel and best power tool stand on the market without exception. Why?, because it's simple. The beefy 1½" tubing will support any power tool you would like to make portable; table saw, planer, etc. With a quarter turn of the locking handle, it goes from storage position to working position in two seconds; no other legs or locking mechanism to fuss with. The name says it all, as the weight of the saw allows the stand to open and close smoothly. In open position, the table sits at a comfortable 37 inches high. The table saw has all features for a jobsite saw. Onboard storage for extra blades, the blade guard, fence, miter gauge, powercord, pushstick, and wrench. The tool-less blade guard, anti-kickbacks, and throat plate can all be quickly removed and installed. The riving knife is adjustable and can be secured in multiple positions, and only one wrench is needed to change blades, due to the integrated spindle lock. The underside of the table also comes predrilled and tapped for some accessories such as the outfeed support kit and left-side extension support kit, both sold separately.

Big performance, Small footprint
Rating: 5
I'm am intermediate woodworker who enjoyed a cabinet saw for many years, but have moved and needed to downsize my shop. I tried to get away with not have a table saw, but I really missed the many operations one provides. Reviews pushed me to the 4100 and I am glad they did. I have been using the saw for the past three months. The saw was dead on accurate right out of the box. The miter gauge and rip fence lock securely and accurately. I up-graded the blade and use care to not push stock too fast through the cut. My last few projects were in walnut and the cuts are smooth and burn free. I have even resawed 1x4 walnut down to 3/16's (using great care, multiple feather boards and two passes) with very good results. I haven't put a dado blade on it yet. The folding stand works great in my small shop. Pushing sheet goods or long stock might reduce the stand's stability, but for medium and short stock it is solid. Dust collection is about 80% effective and it is loud. Small price to pay for accuracy and portability. Speaking of price it is probably the highest price saw in its class, but you definitely get what you pay for. If space or portability is important to you AND precision; this is the saw to get.

Excellent product
Rating: 5
I had a table saw for 30 years and it worked fine until lately the pulley kept falling off. I got tired fixing it so I went shopping for a new one and after reading many reviews, I decided on getting the Bosch and I'm glad I did my homework. This is an excellent saw that will last another 30 years (although I probably won't...lol). It makes very accurate cuts and had lots of power. I ran 5/8 in OSB through it as fast and I wanted to push and it didn't even slow down!! My old one would have been choking at half the speed. I also love that all the accessories, blades, push stick etc. has a place to be stored right on the saw so they are always handy when needed. Also the stand is very easy to use once you get used to it. I highly recommend this saw. The only thing I didn't like is that a bit of dust escapes even though I had it connected to my shop vac.

Extremely pleased with this purchase and Walmart
Rating: 5
Pleasantly surprised that Walmart sold this item ON LINE and would ship it to my nearby Walmart store for pickup. Walmart also had the BEST PRICE !!! (well maybe $20 more but that was due to paying taxes). This Bosch saw is reviewed at many other sites with HIGH ratings. There is no reason to elaborate except to say I don't think a person can do better with another brand for the price paid. Did NOT purchase the ELECTRONIC fence. Personally believe it's not necessary for most work required for my chicken coops. The INCLUDED FOLDING stand is outstanding and another reason for my BOSCH purchase. The low price of the stand/saw bundle convinced me it was a good value . Happy, Happy, Happy,, the stand is an outstanding work of engineering and well worth the extra money. I can fold it and roll it to the work or storage area by myself,, with ease or move it around. Well worth it,, believe me. View videos on YouTube to see how it works. Included link with this review. When the saw was ready to pick up Walmart sent me email claim form. Had the ELECTRONIC email on my tablet at the store and Walmart scanned the electronic image w/o a problem. This saved me messing with the printer/ink/paper. PS: Open the email page at the house and the page is ready to view at the store, doubt they has public WIFI,, although maybe they should? The Bosch w/ stand is in a BIG box and the weight was about 110+ pounds which requires a van/truck/suv,, Box size is 40” x 30” x 21”. When you unpack think about the engineering and design JUST for the packing !! Drove around back to a man door and three employees brought the saw on a dolly to the back of my truck and helped me load. Thanks !! TICKLED TO DEATH because is NOT necessary to WAIT AROUND MY HOUSE for the delivery service. Should damage be noticeable on the outside of the box it could be opened at the store and inspected before loading it in the truck. Imagine the HASSLE should a HOME delivery service damage the item !!!! or worse yet if it was damaged when the box was opened,, or was defective in the first fews days of use,, or ??? Ship back,, Return authorizations,, wait and aggravations .. REALLY,, think about all the things that could go wrong and Walmart at a nearby store would be there to help me out. Will repackage this saw and ship it overseas now the functionality is verified. The box it comes in was very sturdy (heavy cardboard / styrofoam) and be suitable for rough handling in the U.S. However IMHO: It's not good enough for overseas shipping. Should something be damaged. Repackaged the saw / stand in two separate, slightly smaller packages.

a must have piece of equipment
Rating: 5
I bought this and I feel so sure of myself in its use and the safety features it offers. then the ability to move it around my small area of workspace provides such freedom that I am able to do more, with such ease of use. I was afraid of the use of power tools....not with this machine.

After purchase I set saw up in my shop and found no need for adjustments. very easy to follow instructions , well done . I have enjoyed using this saw.

Love this saw, needs angle adjustment screw
Rating: 4
This saw was "Dead On" accurate. I made an entertainment center with it. Plenty of power. Crosscut and Ripped Pine, Oak, and Plywood with no problem. The only thing is that the blade angle could use a screw adjustment for more accuracy with angles. I needed to cut a 5.7 degree rabbet in oak for a truck bed plank.
