Found this table saw on Amazon.com and it looked promising. After reading reviews and doing further research on line decided to buy it. Amazon then offered me a sweeter deal. Apply for a Chase credit card and receive an additional 40 dollars off. Are you kidding? This left a balance of 43.99. I bought it. Got it in 2 days. Plugged it in, and it cuts just fine. No regrets. It does what it’s supposed to do, cut wood.

First, the disclaimer: I didn’t buy this saw on Amazon.com but since a lot of people (including me) look to Amazon for reviews…here are (is?) my two cents. This saw is made portable because it has a hard plastic lower body. My refurbished model needed to be tweaked to square it up. The blade it came with is only a 40 tooth. I immediately switched it out with one with twice that count. The blade guard falls easily while making adjustments. (A simple bend with a pair of pliers fixed that!) But, I saved the best (worst) for last…it is the nosiest tool I own!!! Just the sound makes you wonder if the whole thing isn’t going to go fly through the air somehow! Bottom line…OK for the price but wish I had shopped around more.

The saw is ok.. It does have plenty of power but it has a few design flaws. If you need to realign the blade to be parallel to the miter slot it is a huge pain. With almost inaccessible bolts to loosen. The blade guard never fully tightens securely and becomes useless after a few uses. Opt for a better saw and you will be glad you did. For the price good.

Don’t bother with it. The saw arrived with the blade a quarter of an inch out of square. I worked for 15 minutes trying to loosen two of the eight screws necessary to adjust it. Never did get them un-done before I noticed the plastic case around the motor was split in two places. When I payed more attention to the way the motor was mounted in the saw, I recognized that is was so flimsy that it would never stay in one place while cutting. Returned it immediately!

Got this setup after a long debate between brands, and I’m very pleased with its operation, though a few things aren’t as good as they could be. I gave it 5 stars because it’s the best one on the market right now, and competitors saws aren’t nearly as well thought out as this one is, and are flimsier.
Good points:
- Packaging is very good. Lots of thick styrofoam, everything is secure and wrapped in plastic. The box is heavy walled, and shipping straps make an easy grab point.
- Everything on my saw was dead on from the factory, no adjustments were needed.
- The magnifying glass on the fence makes subtle adjustments easy, though it has to be cleaned off every time the saw is run.
- The equipped blade produces decent results in plywood and pine. Harder woods will cut, though not as smoothly.
- The deck is sturdy cast aluminum, strong and lightweight. It greatly reduces the weight of the saw.
- The motor’s performance is unbeatable. It doesn’t struggle.
- The stand is easy to use, easy to assemble and operates smoothly.
- The extendable side rail works wonderfully and is really helpful.
- On board wrench and blade storage is handy, keeps everything handy and tidy.
- It’s nice that it’s a saw and stand combo, it looks a lot better to my wife when she only sees one box instead of two (regardless of the cost of the items inside)
- The operating volume isn’t deafening, but hearing protection is never a bad idea.
Bad points:
- If the blade is lowered all the way down inside the machine, the anti-kickback pawls get stuck in the plastic shield, and have to be carefully pried out so the guard isn’t broken. The blade can be lowered below the deck for safety and storage without this occurring, it’s only when the blade is lowered all the way.
- To padlock the unit, you’ll need one with a really long shackle, and it can’t be over 1/4″ in diameter. Something that allows for a regular sized padlock would have been nicer.
- Lots of plastic below the deck. There’s been no issues with it yet, though for the price I would have expected more metal.
- The fence storage doesn’t really hold too well.
- This produces lots of dust, even with a shop-vac hooked to the exhaust port.
- A pusher should have been included, given the inherent danger of this type of tool. The miter gauge can work for this, but it’s limited in use.
- The pneumatic tires are just another thing to forget about. I have a hard enough time remembering to check the tires on my car – now I’ve got something else? It also seems a bit silly to have them on a tool which will be used at jobsites where there will be nails, screws, etc. Solid rubber or foam filled tires probably would have been more ideal.
- According to the stand’s instructions, you need 16 mm and 10 mm wrenches. Yes, the 10 mm are needed for mounting the saw, however the other hardware actually requires 17 mm and 13 mm wrenches.
- The instruction manual is detailed, though poorly formatted. It jumps around between english, french and spanish from page to page.

Just received this saw last week and used on one project this weekend. Great improvements over last year’s model 4000-09, especially the new european-style guard (didn’t install the kickback pawls but rest is great). Just changed from a Delta Contractors saw and very impressed with the fit/build of this portable saw — was worried going to a portable saw would be a big step down but not with this one.
Manual was missing — probably lost when it was opened at customs (UPS misrouted it through Canada). Phoned up Bosch and they are mailing me a new copy as this saw is so new they don’t even have PDF electronic copies of the manual available yet.
Update: Bosch customer service mailed me a copy of the manuals and also emailed PDF copies of the saw and stand.

I have been using this saw for several months and am quite happy with it. I bought it mostly because of the safety features: riving knife, blade guard, and anti-kickback pawls. Early reviews said that these devices are so easy to use that owners actually will use them, and that has been my experience.
The saw is well designed in other respects, too. The fence and miter gauge are easily adjusted and accurate. The blade height adjustment wheel is convenient. The only thing I don’t like is the clumsy blade bevel adjustment: to change the blade angle, you unlock a rather stiff lever and the blade and motor assembly flops around–you just push it to where you want it and tighten the clamping lever. I would have preferred a wheel like the height adjustment.
The gravity-rise stand is neat. I don’t transport the saw to job sites (I’m a hobbyist woodworker), but I have to work in my garage, and need to store my tools against the wall. The saw is easy to fold up and stores in very little space.
The saw arrived in good shape, although when the UPS driver took it out of the truck, the manual fell out. It’s easy to see how some people get a saw with no manual. If this happens to you, I suggest you download the manual from Bosch’s web site. I did this before the saw arrived in order to learn about it as soon as possible. Yes, it’s 84 pages long, but after page 20 or so, odd-numbered pages are in French and Spanish–if you don’t need either of those languages, you can just print out the even-numbered pages.
I recently acquired a thin-kerf Forrest Woodworker II blade. I was a little nervous about it because of the reviewer who had trouble using a thin-kerf blade because the kerf is too narrow for the wood to clear the riving knife. The kerf of the Forrest blade is variously reported as 3/32″, which is .094″, and .100″, and the riving knife is .091″ thick. I had no trouble with the wood binding on the riving knife, in both crosscut and ripping operations. (The blade cuts beautifully, too–recommended.)

I am a finish carpenter and had been going back and forth between the Ridgid Table Saw and Bosch. Although I’ve used the Ridgid before, after researching the Bosch for couple of months, I decided to buy it. This saw is more expensive than the Ridgid but I must say it is worth the extra bucks. Very sturdy and accurate (once you do your initial setup). The gravity rise stand is ingenious and although I do not mind the 2 step folding saws, this saw always puts a smile on my face as I use the rise stand. Its so simple even a kid could work it.
The saw is higher than your standard table saws by about 3 inches. It does not sound much but it did feel awkward at first after using standard saws for such a long time. You do get use to it quickly though.
The rip fence is dead on and the soft start feature is a nice addition that prevents overload.
The saw is heavy but is easily loaded to the bed of your truck/van by placing the handles on the bed and sliding it back.
One of the worst features of this saw is the wheels. They are not large enough to carry over stairs. You will, I repeat you will scrape the metal bars behind the wheels frequently. Do not try to roll this saw over finished stairs. I am surprised that the engineers at Bosch did not recognize this.
Overall though, this saw is the best portable saw that I have used in years.

I had a lot of frustrating little problems when I first got the saw but now that it’s worked out it well worth it.
This is actually my second 4100. The first one was damaged when the box came open during shipment and the table top was scratched up by parts of the cart legs. It didn’t help that the way it was packed the only thing separating the table top and the cart legs was a thin pieice of styrofoam with a cut out in the middle.
Anyway I received the second saw undamaged. There were some fit and finish issues. The table top had what looked like black fingerprint marks. I tried getting it off but couldn’t…oh well…no big deal it’s cosmetic. The second problem was not so trivial. The riving knife assembly was loose and not square to the table or lined up to the blade. There were no instructions in the manual on how to align it. I emailed Bosch customer service but it took them awhile to respond (5 days). In the interim, I figured it out myself. There’s two allen bolts that adjust the riving knife from side to side and a screw with a locknut that adjust the angle. After that the saw ran fine and the new guard system worked as advertised…modular and very easy to use.
The saw was running fine for about a week when I ran into my third problem. As expected the blade supplied with the saw dulled out pretty quickly. I replaced with the Freud LU83R010 10-Inch 50-Tooth Thin Kerf Combination Blade that I bought just for the occasion. I tried a few crosscuts and the new blade cut like butter. I decided to rip a 24 inch piece of 3/4″ plywood. To my horror the wood binded between the riving knife and the fence as it went past the back of the blade. I checked the alignment and tried again…same thing the wood binds as it goes pas the back of the blade. Tried my Irwin Marathon 80T blade and same thing. It turned out that the Freud LU83R010 and the Irwin 80T has a 0.092″ kerf while the riving knife is 0.091″ wide. Talked to Bosch customer service and they confirmed that is a problem. Their suggestion was to try a blade with the wider kerf. I tried the Bosch PRO1050COMB with a 0.128″ kerf and a Bosch CB1040 with a 0.098″ kerf and they work fine. So beware when using thin kerf blade with this new riving knife/guard system.
