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.

"We're not a professional testing company" and carries out professional, comprehensive, unbiased and thorough tests of tools. It's a pleasure to watch your videos. I am a contractor and your test videos guided me couple of times while buying tools. Than you for that.
What saw did you end up buying?
@@Samoskiyaani I'd like to know too
Me too!!
Dewalt
Seriously! Seemed way professional to me!
A new standard has been set for conducting a comprehensive review of tools used in the Trade.
Not overly verbose, no horrible background music, great data sets, explanations made complete sense and it was all understandable.
The video coverage was spot on.
This is by far the best Tool review I've seen on UA-cam
You guys and project farm are both godsends to people like me.
I don't see how anyone can not like this review. That was a lot of work and very honest and thorough. Thanks guys!
Probably someone who bought a non acurate brand and became disapointed wirh the results.
These are the kind of reviews that our industry needs. Amazing job and thank you!
thanks man
Agreed, comprehensive scientific reviews are few and far between on tools.
@@ConcordCarpenter I liked your passionate delivery of the info as well. Some guys put me to sleep here on YT.
thanks guys! Please subscribe!!

A Concord Carpenter / ToolBoxBuzz consider it done
You guys are the GOLD STANDARD on tool reviews, hands down. Awesome work!
Rob... simply outstanding work with the rigorous testing on these saws! Shout out to you and the entire crew for the very valuable information the testing provides to us DIYers of the world. Your site continues to be my "go to" for information on tools prior to making a purchase. As a result of your test results, I am steadily amassing a collection of tools which so far include Makita and DEWALT.
I have made my mind up on many tools due to your reviews. Up to now I haven’t got any tools that don’t work.
Keep it up guys totally brilliant
Dude, you are the Boss--never in my life seen such quality review. I imagine your work is par excellance'. Thank you
Exactly what i needed! Im stuck at home with cancer and i want to do a little woodworking to keep from going crazy! I just didn't know which saw to get. I have a very limited budget, so this video really helped! Thank you! BE SAFE,GOD BLESS!🇺🇸🙏
Hope you're doing better Dave.
That's a spirit Dave! All the best man.
Stay 💪 !
As a technician with over 40 years of testing experience, I am VERY impressed with the testing done in the video. Great job, guys. Highly informative and helpful. Thanks.
no one cares!
Best comparison video I have ever seen. Great job to the whole team. Having worked for Hitachi and doing calibration on tools and testers I can appreciate the work that went in to this video. I have been a wood worker in the past but not so much recently. Now that I am retired it is time to get back in to it and start making stuff again. My son is way ahead of me in wood working so he will be my mentor but your channel is going to be my second go to for advice. Thank you.
Definitely the best UA-camr for unbiased tool reviews - top work
Man, what a comprehensive test! No more buying the marketing BS when you got the real deal done here! Thanks man!
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.
Thanks gentlemen. We need the clarity and integrity you show now more than ever. You should be the gold standard of all reviews.
WOW, that was in depth! Thank you. I didn't even know there was that much information to consider when choosing a table saw. Very helpful!
Intense and well thought out testing procedures. Hats off to all the crew members. It does help to have data like this in order to make a better educated decision prior to purchase. Had I watched this prior to my purchase, I would have purchased differently. The one I bought is now dead from melted bearings and it's cheaper to replace than rebuild. Sad thing - just 3 weeks out of warranty.
Have been using the Bosch for 3 years and very happy with it. Still, this would have been the video to watch before purchasing. Terrific comprehensive overview. Excellent!
Really the gold standard for tool tests and reviews.
You guys scrutinized the hell out of these tools and I appreciate that. Thank you.
Heaven's above I never appreciated how much I missed you guys till you were MIA for so long. It's depths of winter down under in Aussie. Great across the board review and very much appreciated. Well done and thank you long live TBB!!!

One of the best reviews I’ve ever seen. Well worth the time to watch. Great job guys, and thank you!
Your attention to detail here is beautiful! For someone like myself that wants hard data on all of these factors before making a sizeable investment in a long-term tool, it's super helpful, your hard work is much appreciated it! Knowing what aspects are basically the same across the board (dust collection for example) vs those that varied widely (amp draw for example) was super helpful info that I would have learned in no other way unless I watched this video. I also learned a lot about the possible issues with table saws from your video!
Amazingly well done. In 19 years on job sites I never once saw a saw adjusted when purchased. It was bought for the project, assembled and used. Spot on.
Wow, I need my saw to be perfectly accurate especially the parallelism. I check it all frequently.
This is the absolute best review of anything I’ve ever seen on UA-cam. Wow very professional.
Thank you soooo much for all that you guys put into these reviews. I have yet to find another group that goes into as much Depth, time and research to give as much information as you do. Thank you again. You have made it much easier to find the tool that I would need on the job.
I'm a couple years late on this video, but man this comparison is insanely well done. Thank you for all of the detailed information! I wish more reviews aspired to this level of testing.
I love using my Hitachi. Can't compare it to others, but glad you did. Now I know my purchase was a good one.
22 years with the ridgid, love it.
This is probably the best, and most thurough test of power tools, I have ever seen.
I really liked that you considered ergonomics.
Thank you.
I really enjoy watching this video for the first time. You and your team are fantastic in putting this all together and explaining the details of each table saw. This would keep the manufacturers on their toes constantly and improving the quality. I am looking forward to more of your great videos. Thanks again Team.
That was a very thorough and extensive review and testing you did, thank you for your time and your honesty, one of the best reviews I've watched on any tool...
For a tool geek...you guys geeked out...great video!!! Glad i found this prior to purchase. Thank you for taking the time and effort to produce this video!!
Good lord, why can't all reviews be this concise and detailed? Thanks, this was exactly what I was looking for.
No one has been as detailed in a review on anything. This was AWESOME!
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!
Great job Rob, Reviews like these are what the industry needs. I ended up buying the DEWALT DWE7491RS
This likely the best comparison with factual evidence. This is what they do in computer tech ologies and I enjoy that you took it to the Nth degree for folks to understand what they’re buying! Seriously appreciate your guys hard work. Thank you.
I love these videos/reviews, I can't tell you how many times I come back to them again and again.
You keep us up to date, give us every tidbit of information we never even knew we needed and just plain and simply make the best tool comparison videos ever made.
You make our lives easier by saving us money and helping us make the best choices for us, thank you.
Wow, thank you!
This is beautiful research. Thank you all for taking time to do this AND for sharing it. Excellent review and explanations.
First video by ToolBoxBuzz I've seen and my reaction is...
Holy shit! Best review and tests I've ever seen on anything ever! And with explanations throughout!
This is the kind of quality tests one expects from manufacturers. You guys should call the manufacturers and offer up random quality control checks and get paid for this... lol. If I were a manufacturer, I'd bring you in for every run.
NIce job guys, real nice! And thanks!
I honestly just can't get over how much work went into this! THANK YOU!
Thank you so much. My craftsman 10 inch table saw 60 years old finally quit. All of this data will give me tremendous help in deciding what to buy.
The diligence of this review and assessment is reassuring beyond any recommendation I could have asked for! Thanks so much for taking the time, filming your process and sharing. Awesome stuff
thx for commenting
Please keep these videos coming! You guys give me all the info I want for choosing tools, especially the precision tests.
Just Griff thanks - new vid publishes tonight
Fantastic comprehensive comparison. I really respect the fact you made a point to mention that regardless of the results, they're all good saws.
I've had a Bosch for a long time and have used the heck out of it, I trued it when I bought it and it has held true. Every time I use it I think to myself if she gives up I can't be upset because it has well outlasted my expectations. Thanks for all the work on this test, WOW!
absolutely, one of the best compares that i have ever seen in my life.. Thank you! thank you very much.
I have had my skilsaw for a few years. I love it. I’m pleasantly surprised by how it stacked up against all the other saws, and how it compared and beat out, a $1200 saw.
Ya know I've been looking for almost a year now for a GOOD REVIEW of EVERY PORTABLE TABLE SAW to determine which would be the best and finally came across this video! THANK YALL SO MUCH for taking the time and effort to put this video together breaking down EVERYTHING with the outa box use! Much appreciated!
Very welcome!
Fantastic, technical and functional review. I was planning on getting the Dewalt in the next couple weeks, and has an offer to pay the difference for a Saw-Stop, so I needed to see how they stacked up against each-other and their competition. I couldn't have asked for a better video and article. Now I have to go watch more of your work.
Damn. Might be the most comprehensive comparison reviews I’ve seen on UA-cam.
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.
Just watched this video today. I greatly appreciate the technical depth of your comparisons. Thank you!
This is by far the best table saw review on the intertubes. I bought the hitachi (latest Metabo HPT version, which actually made improvements over the previous version) and love it.
This is EXTREMELY helpful in my next purchase!! Thank you!!!
You guys always have the BEST video. Thank you so much for doing the testing so we don't have to
Just watched this for the second or third time. Last time I watched a couple years ago just before I purchased the Skilsaw. I initially purchased the Rigid (not this model their newer one) I was incredibly disappointed in it so returned. I'd been wanting the Bosch for year's but your comparison swayed me. The Skil is working out. So just want to thank all you guys who put the time and effort in to get this done. No telling how many people y'all have helped with your content. It's appreciated!!
I came here from your cordless router review and I am thoroughly impressed by how awesome your videos are! Thank you for the in depth look at these products it really helps to make an informed decision.
I own the Hitachi myself. I've had it a while and never regretted my decision. Although I do wish I had seen this video before I bought it. It would have saved me many hours of research.
Rob, you are extremely thorough with your testing! I tell people all the time to check your channel if they are on the fence with a new purchase of tools.
Great job as usual buddy!
Paul
Paul Ricalde appreciate the feedback and referral sir
You are absolute beasts when it comes to these testings and presentations to us as consumers! Really the benchmark that all "professional" reviewers should try to live up to!
Almost 2 million views, congratulations on one of the most complete and professional reviews on this type !! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This borderline lunatic wonky obsessive thoroughness warms me to my toes. Once one begins measuring, why cease? SUBBED.
Jeff Wiebe LOL!! I was thinking the same thing
I loved this video. A review that was a review and not just an unboxing.
This is the most honest and comprehensive video on table saw brands I have seen. I would like to thank all of the people involved here. I have actually been searching for a video such a this for sometime. 👍👍😃
This is my first exposure to your work. You are fantast and I am blown away by everything you did in this testing. Thank you very much.
These test are not in an enclosed lab. They are in real time use the best comparison possible. Straight out of the box usage. 👍🤙😃
Wow, amazing review! Thanks for taking the time/resources to do this incredibly professional review. Subscribed!
It's amazing to me that you can see a video of this depth and quality for free on UA-cam.... Thanks so much!
I'm looking for one to buy and i now have a greater understanding. Thank You so much to all your team who worked very hard to produce this comparison.
Thank you so much for investing your time and effort doing this! Thank you!
Thank you guys very much! The in depth head 2 heads you are do are soooooooooo helpful!
You guys put together the greatest reviews. Excellent job, the precision is really impressive and greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for the time and effort.
Incredible review. People may debate how the items are weighted, but there is no debating the comprehensive method of data collection. Huge service done here. Thanks so much, can't believe this is free info
I have been working with the DeWalt table saw from someone else, and i really love it. Easy setup and easy handle. However im a Makita guy, and take without a doubt the Makita.
As a contractor I've had the Rigid since they came on the market around 15 years ago. Still got it & use it almost every day. As I recall they were the first to offer a folding stand with wheels. Been lovin' it ever since.
I think Delta has improved on the folding stand with wheels. Basically gravity operated. Very easy to set up and take down. Similar, I think, to the Bosch stand.
Muskoka Man Rigid saw is a straight plastic piece of junk Im a real contractor
Mr Butler...... how long have you owned your Rigid table saw?
Been using a lightweight no name I got for free for 6 or 7 years. Got a light switch and bypassed the gfci. I have to check the fence squareness every time its moved. Does the job "almost" every time.
Same here, I got one when they first came out and I remember it being one of the only ones with a full and easy to use stand. Its not as accurate as it was when I first bought it but nothing has broken on it yet after all this time. That's loading it into a van or truck by myself for most of its life, the wheels should of broken off by now. I also have the first gen of the mitre saw stand, its heavy but the saw has been accurate all its life, the stand itself has only had the tighteners break off for the wing rollers which is something you can fix yourself.
I recently bought a new one hand sawsall from ridgid and the quality as far as im concerned has gone down hill. The cord is cheap and it just doesn't feel like the older model it replaced. Maybe that extends into the other tools these days I don't know.
Appreciate the crews time and effort on these reviews, great work guys.
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.
Great video. I started out out thinking you were biased or sponsored but you quickly proved me wrong. Subscribed!
Hey Rob, that as a great video and as you guys are not a pro testing company means that your answers are real and comments are with listening to. Thanks for posting as I am in the market for a compact job site saw I found this not only interesting but educating. Cheers.
Most detailed review by far. Thank you guys for taking the time to do all the tests on this one. Very impressed with this review. Definitely helped me make my decision. Have a fantastic day guys.
For ppl who aren't professional testers, you do an incredible job with the scientific method of your tests. God bless!
Thanks for the best comparison I've seen in a long time. Other testers should learn from you!
Damn you guys pulled out all the scientific stops on this one!! Color me impressed!
Nathan Hamler haha thanks
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!
This is the end point of so many discussions. So many people are bad mouthing some of these saws and some argue against of others and so on and so on. This video is the go to source when empty arguments heat up. Thanks for the good work.
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.
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 !!
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!
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.
My Dewalt is sweet.
Highly recommend it!
What exact model do you use?
Doug Hunt its all in article the link is in description
Your videos are great . I’m a novice wood worker as I get older I am doing more and getting more tools ect. Your channel has helped me with tools 100%. Thank you 🙏
One of the best evaluations of any product I've ever seen... .Great job!
Wow, extremely thorough review!
Proud to be a new englander. These are my peeps. Doing it right!
Great work by you and your team. Months of work for this is extreme and appreciated! Thank you.
4 years to late but this is one comprehensive test, respect, thanks and kudos 🙏
Exceptional video. Quality throughout, great presentation, unbiased and informative. I'm currently looking to replace my table saw and although some of these models are unavailable in the UK after this review my first choice (dewalt DW745) has been 're affirmed.
Many thanks.
Terrific thoughtful review. Thanks so much for this level of effort and useful info!!!!
Even though this video has been out for awhile it's still an excellent comparison of what's available in this category of saw. I just bought the DeWalt saw and I'm looking forward to using it with more confidence than if I hadn't watched this video first. Thanks!
you are the POSITIVE part of the internet, thank you for the video and testing.
