Got this Bosch GTS15-10 table saw as a gift for Christmas 2023. Your review is bang-on with what I found right out of the box as far as setup, calibration and adjustments. The manual is excellent. I bought the optional accessory out-feed and left-side supports. They're pretty good, but the one support has a c-clip that snags on a screw on the underside of the table when extending or retracting the support. It's a very minor thing. The clamp-zone is a handy feature. This table saw overall is very well executed. Thanks for your review, great job!
Thanks for the insight! We checked out the table extension in the 4100 review and for some reason I decided not to buy it for this one. I keep most of the table saws I review for additional testing and comparison vids but when the time comes to make space this Bosch will be tough to get rid of. It's very well designed with some great features and power. Thanks for watching!!
hey man you mind sharing the SKU or model numbers of the outfeed tables? I see the TS1015, TS1016, and TS1008 and only the TS1015 is specific to the GTS15 and the other are for the GTS1041.
@@christianfayb4 GTS15-10 table saw owners manual lists the following in 'Attachments and Accessories' section: Rear Outfeed TS1015 and the Left Outfeed TS1008.
Anything you don't like about it? I bought this, the Skil and the Dewalt 7485 during BF, trying to decide which one to keep. Got this one for $650, the Skil was $360 and Dewalt was $340 ($CDN). Thoughts?
Pulled the trigger on this for a number of reasons: 1) this video (high five!) 2) my Bosch 4000 died after 15+ years of quality use 3) I had been looking at the SkillSaw Wormdrive and the Dewalt had been on sale everywhere for $550 and was about to go yellow when... 4) Acme was running a sale when you added this to the cart and undercut Dewalt by $50 (yes, the Bosch was $499)! Got it this week and bought the accessories with the savings (rear outfeed and left side feed - which Bosch says doesn't fit, but it totally does - you just need to mount the receivers differently). On adjustments - I did have to move the back of the fence about 1/16" but the rest was aligned. Finally, had a use for a today and WOW. I didn't know what I was missing. Start and stop was great. Motor had a ton of power (ripped down some PS 4x4 in one pass on the stock blade and some composite deck boards) and the rack and pinion was so nice to micro adjust. On other thing, the Gravity Rise table is an upgrade over my old one. Seems slightly more compact and the airless tires are huge - I genuinely disliked having to pump up the old ones. Plan on upgrading my blade (did burn the 4x4 a bit, but for this project didn't care too much) and getting the dado kit shortly when I have a need. So far zero point zero regrets. Last thing (for real) - tape appeared OK for about 10", then starts to be off. Will stick to my tape measure.
Great review! Really happy I bought this saw as a result. Tape is an issue. I don’t have space for a cabinet saw, but this is a great little machine. Various after market improvements and customizations can make it nearly perfect
I bought this saw today after having to return two DeWalt saws with damaged fences 😢 Im happy everything on the Bosch was set up perfectly from the factory, no damage and it cuts great. Thanks for the review!

Terrific video, I was looking for a new table saw and watching you review saws made my choice easier; I am going with the Bosch GTS15-10 table saw! Thank you!👍
Great review. I’ll say it til I’m blue in the face, I’ve loved everything from Bosch that I have. I keep hoping they will release some of the stuff that Europe gets. Some of it looks to be right along side the quality of festool. The routers they have in Europe make the ones they release here look pretty cheap
Ive always equated Bosch and Festool to a small degree at least. Both are higher end Euro brands that I don't see too often in the industries Ive worked. Im looking forward to getting more into Bosch's power tool line in the near future. Thanks for watching!
I'll bet you're right about the arbor extension, Mike. As for the inaccurate rule, I never trust them anyway; after all, they're on an aluminum table. Just measure twice and go. Looks like one of the very best of the jobsite saws and highly recommendable for anybody who isn't already in possession of a good one.
You gotta love how dados are outlawed in a lot of Europe for safety reasons but we get the screwball workaround here in the States. Thanks Europe....🙄 Otherwise this is a really good saw. Thanks for watching Rick!
I have a 4100 and have really enjoyed it. My only problems I have with it is that after cutting for a good while I have to stop, remove the blade, air blow out the 2 rods that ride the blade up and down due to the fact it keeps locking up and I end up stripping out the screw on the raise and lower wheel. After I blow it out, I spray the rods with a lubricant, which by the way is recommended for woodworking saws. But after another month of cutting I have to repeat the process all over again. I also have the ruler being off issue. I am considering getting rid of this 4100 and getting something better. Love your review.
New to the channel and great reviews. I like that your reviews are always letting "us" decide. My beloved Bosch 4000 just died after 17 years and have been debating whether to fix it or replace it. Would love to see a shootout between this Bosch, the Skilsaw SPT99-11 and DeWalt 7491RS. These three seem to be the cream of the jobsite crop right now. Interesting that DeWalt has dropped the price the past few weeks across the board (HD, Lowes and Amazon), I wonder if they are feeling it or if they are going to be releasing an updated version soon. My black horse pick (or is it green horse?) - I'd like to see the Metabo HPT C10RJ reviewed.
Just started watching your channel and must compliment you on your reviews. I have gone through 2 Bosch 4100, both used almost daily in Home Construction. In both cases the bearings in the motor failed. The GTS15 was on my short list but I opted to give the Skilsaw a try. I think that the worm drive motor will hold up better.
Hopefully that Skilsaw holds up better for you. Failed motor bearings is the number one complaint Ive heard about the 4100. Im hoping they fix that issue with the GTS15-10. Time will tell! Thanks for watching Felix!
I bought is saw, assembled it today. I also sold my 4100 today, if I could redo it I would have held off on selling the 4100 to see if it's stand GTA47W was compatible with GTS15-10. Whilst assembling the stand nothing lined up most of it had to be pushed to bolt it up, the bolts to attach the saw didn't line up either. The hardware was abnormal lengths with moving parts on threads. I believe the same Taiwanese manufacturer Dewalt, Delta, harbor freight and others use, manufactured this. This is nearly a perfect replica of the Dewalt DWE7491RS.
Great review! Really happy I bought this saw as a result. Tape is an issue, but I’ve seen that on a lot of saws in this price range, the rest of the features more than made up for it. We can fix that with aftermarket tape
Like many, I'm deciding between the Bosche and the DeWalt, and I'm leaning toward the Bosch because I don't feel like dealing with the stand on the DeWalt. But I know that ruler is going to bother me if it's off like it is in this video. What aftermarket tape did you wind up going with and did you account for the separate 0" / 7" positions? I think a Starrett 4' Measure Stix tape is about $10. I guess you could get two of them, use a straight-edge and a razor to cut them in half length-wise and start the lower one at 7". It's a pity the DeWalt DWE7491RS scale is 0" / 8" because it would be a good one to replace it with.
Ive always felt the Bosch's quality is excellent. That inaccurate ruler genuinely surprised me. Well get to some Bosch battery powered tools soon I hope. Thanks for watching Tom!!
In 2007 I got the Bosch 4000. In 2019, all the smoke escaped from the motor, along with all the factory-installed sparks and flames. I wasn't able to capture them and put them back, so I replaced it with the 4100. Now after seeing this saw, I'm tempted to clean up and sell the 4100 (still in very good condition) and replace it with this. (I also have the 18v cordless model.)
I'm sure the ruler issue has much to do with the coefficient of thermal expansion of the plastic tape, how much it was stretched during application to the *aluminum-* and at what temperature it was applied. Combine that with any temperature differential between your garage and the Taiwanese factory.
That’s a really interesting thought. Too bad they don’t allow us to install the tape. I’ve done it before on a Phaedra I bought for cutting picture frame molding. That said I have a Fletcher mat cutter. I added a squaring arm to cut mat board. The tape they give you slides into a groove that you can adjust left or right. Once taped the end of the tape stays in place and boom, it’s all done.
Bro this guy did a dato cut dead butbrs through the core of the tree on. 4xfir all your intelligence is subtracted into amenti. Your whole comment sounds like it was made in a taiwanese factory. You worked really hard to type your fingers on your phone and it was the hardest you worked all week. Or year or life. Much love.
That screw driver was my Moms. She asked for it after using my orange one. When she passed I took it back. A Snap-On with flowers? Never seen one. Thanks for watching Eugene!
I was taught "1 rule for any job." I don't use the table edge rules on any tool, and use the tape/ruler I did the original lay-out with. Just sayin Mike. Thanks for the post. Take care & stay safe.
Finally metal gears. I have 2 GTS10J and the rubber gears pretty much wear themselves out quickly. But is their mitre slot still proprietary? Sucks because I can’t buy any 3rd party sleds or rails.
I agree that Hercules miter saw looks I bit like a DeWALT. Ppl said that about the Hercules table saw but I didn't see it with that one. Hopefully the miter is good quality since its considerably less money then the yellow brand. Thanks for watching Conan!!
Great review as always! You mentioned in an answer to a comment that you find the skilsaw and this as top two picks in you current “fleet”. What makes the skilsaw rank anywhere near the quality of this saw?
I'd give it a 9.5 out of 10 and your video a 10 out of 10. I wish you had shown all the extra-cost options for the saw. It's a shame the saw isn't wired for 220 volts. Bosch should include a USB thumb drive with a video on how to assemble and adjust the saw. Your video would be an excellent place for them to start.
What's the cause of the blade runout? Bad blade of bent motor shaft? Do you know if the original extensions will work on this saw? Also, the stand looks a bit flimsy compared to the previous one. ??? I love my 4100 so it's not obvious if this new model is an 'upgrade' or not.
Please review the Metabo! My Ridgid died today, right in the middle of Christmas gift-making and I need a reliable quality replacement asap ... without breaking the bank of course!
I just bought one and set it up, it sounded rough on start up, took it back ordered another and got it in yesterday, plugged it in and it sounds rough on start up. Is yours that way? I tried to listen closely but I couldn't tell.
If this saw had a built in dust collection (overhead and under) with a bag, I would be sold. Sirocco dustless 10" is amazing, but does not have the soft start nor 4 extra degrees of bevel options like this Bosch.
On these reviews, how many amps is the circuit you are plugging into? My Skil 6703 is pretty nice but it kicks my 15 amp circuit in almost every cut. I have to tap a 20 amp circuit from the kitchen to get around that.
Just recently found your channel. Thanks for all the info on tools you've covered. Can you or anyone else help me with the folded dimensions of the Skil SPT99? I stand my old Craftsman up against the wall when not in use and wonder if it will fit in the same hole, especially how far out it sticks with those wheels. Thanks again.
LOL!! Didn't notice that new battery powered saw! Seems everything I get for review gets replaced or bested by something new! Wish they sold it as a kit since I haven't jumped into that battery line yet. Thanks for the heads up!
@@ProjectsForAllReviews Hercules brushless tools are awesome dude you should try them, and batteries are extremely reasonably priced. And the 5-year no questions asked return to the store warranty like Sears in the old days... I'm not saying they're the best but their competitive
I have the 4100, and like it for the most part, I definitely wish it had the rack and pinion fence, I am thinking of selling my 4100 and buying this one, I was hoping that this one would have better dust collection than the 4100, since it looks like the blade shroud underneath does not have so much open area around it compared to the 4100. do you think it is better on this saw?
Great and concise Review. Bosch comes so so close to making the ‘perfect’ saw here, lousy table tape measure notwithstanding! Come on Bosch! 🙄 @20:54 NO NO !!! Please be safe! Take care Big Mike! 👍💪🇺🇸😀
Pretty sure that one came from Amazon. Here's an affiliate link. Ignore the bad reviews, worked perfect for me, I just don't like the nut that should come with it. Thanks for watching! amzn.to/3Ax07yu
Dang I think I might be sold on it. I saw it was cheaper than the Dewalt currently. I may have to jump on it. Though I'm interested to see what the masterforce is all about. I've seen those for years but there's very little in the way of videos and reviews for that one. Will definitely be cool to see if it does well, seems well built but you never know, looks can be deceiving.
Searching UA-cam produced not one video on that Masterforce table saw. Crazy. I also never noticed until this moment that Menards has no customer reviews on the website. I never watch others review vids on tools but I will check the companies website for written customer reviews and common complaints. We're going into this one blind which makes it more fun, IMO. Thanks for watching!!
Thank you for this excellent review! I was in the market for a new small table saw in my shop since my Ryobi bt3100 died. I am now the proud owner of this Bosch GTS 1510 table saw. I've been using it for the past few Weeks and find it to be an excellent and accurate tablesaw. The one thing that I am not too pleased with is the sliding miter gauge which fits poorly into the track. As a result, even when the gauge is set accurately, there can be enough lateral movement to cause inaccurate cuts. Has anyone found this to be the same? Or maybe more importantly, has anyone built their own sliding miter sled for the saw? I'd be interested to know what design plans are out there.
Great video. Would you be able to tell me the difference between this saw and Bosch 4100xc saw? I have an opportunity to buy a 4100xc on sale. However, I want to buy the best out of the 2 saws. Thank u.
Just note the 4100 series is notorious for motor failures. Generally either the circuit board (for the soft start) or the bearing. I have a 4000 (the model before) and just cooked the motor (after 17 years, in my case, I think it's the field coil). I'm an advanced DIYer but I imagine if this was on a contractor's truck that 17 years would have been much, much sooner. That said, I'm still leaning towards this as the replacement. The other two options would be the Skilsaw SPT99-11 and DeWalt 7491RS.
Good jolly, Mike, this looks like a heck of a saw. Now if I could only come up with $650 (sales tax here is crazy); that's about the same as I payed for my cabinet saw years ago. But, I really want to have a saw dedicated to a dado blade that I can move easily. Does it come with the zero clearance throat plate, or the dado throat? I guess made in Taiwan is better than made in China. I'd have to agree on that arbor length and the nut. Good luck, brother. Man, you hogged that out all in one pass, that's impressive. I like the saw, but I'm waiting to see the other saws before I make a choice. It's a bit cheaper than the DeWalt...but I think you can guess how I lean.
Hey Meat! This ones got a lot of good stuff going for it. The throat plates were extra but not too expensive. Just got back from Lowes with the Kobalt saw. With the Masterforce and red Skil should make for a good cheap saw shootout. Maybe we'll do a round of ultra cheaps soon too. The Ryobi is hanging over me like a black cloud, will have to get to it eventually. Thanks for watching!
As far as the scale, maybe the are using 25mm per inch rather than 25.4mm and the weird arbor nut for dados might be a cheap way to produce a USA saw WITH dado capability and a second model for the EU without the threaded end of the arbor (no DADO for EU).
So Mike you've tested quite a few table saws has anyone come close to beating out the DELTA ❓ AND AS FAR AS THE MEASURING scale on the table saw did you replace the original one are how did you adjust it ❓thanks as always appreciate your content very informative and fun to watch 😊
I seriously doubt we'll find a job saw that will make me get rid of the Delta. Every so often I contemplate selling it to make space but I know Id instantly regret it. Truth is I rarely use it anymore since I always have review saws that need testing. Ive sold a few off but still currently have seven table saws in the garage including the Delta. 🤣 I meant to replace the ruler on the big Skilsaw after the review but now I'm glad I didn't since it made a good point in this vid. Thanks for watching!
@@ProjectsForAllReviews Appreciate your response Mike, So now excluding the DELTA out of the job site saws "if" you had to pick one which one would it be ❓
@myk1200s The answer might surprise you. Since the Delta stays I’d lean towards small and powerful and would most likely keep the 8 1/4 Skilsaw Wormdrive. Outstanding quality and power. It could be bested by a battery powered saw but time will tell.
Short answer, possibly. I have multiple vids with that DeWALT which is now back with its owner. That reviewed saw is 10 years old and Im told the newest version has multiple updates. We'll see if I can squeeze it into the budget, after all it definitely gets the views. Thanks for watching!
Little bird told me should hopefully be released in the US at the end of the year. I’d be surprised if Evo doesn’t send one over for review. Solid yes on this one. Thanks for watching!
Does look like it's nice, I see guys getting these jobsite saws to save room only to build it into a bench that takes more room then a contractor saw, even cabinets lol never understood that as they will never be as good as either I just mentioned, I've heard Bosh don't work well with common accessories and only use Bosh accessories which is a huge turn off, least that's the case with their routers..
Some of the older vids definitely had audio issues before I figured it out. This is the first video edited on my new desktop setup without headphones. I'll have to reexamine. Thanks for the heads up and for watching!!
$549 US on Amazon ($50 off compared to the big box stores here in the US) 549 dólares estadounidenses en Amazon (50 dólares de descuento en comparación con las grandes tiendas aquí en los EE. UU.)
I havd one serious problem wiyh these saws and its not just the bosch. It looks like the rise and fall mechanism for the blade is the same as previous saws and is just as exposed, these jam up with dust and get damaged, i have one at at the moment that is unusable. this is a massive problem that should have been fixed.
LOL!!! Seems like I'm spending budget table saw money at the grocery store on the weekly. 2-3 visits to Jewel is about the $ equivalent of 1 high end job saw! Thanks for watching!
Dewalt is a white label company they don't design or manufacture anything it is all out sourced, this new saw looks remarkably like the Dewalt DWE7491RS.
Skil is now the parent company of Robert Bosch, so it's not a stretch of imagination to see both the Bosch and Skil tapes off to the same degree. Someone mentioned temperature at application. Maybe so. In any case, I never trust those tapes for anything but coarse measures...like if I need an eight inch cut, slide the fence close to 8 while I'm grabbing my tape. On tape measures: if you start a project with one certain tape, use that specific tape all the way through to completion. There is just enough difference between a DeWalt inch and a Milwaukee inch to give you migraines...just sayin' 😮😢
I agree the ruler on table saws is only on there because it would be weird if there was no ruler. I do however use the ruler on my Delta for non super critical cutting, it's done fine. To my knowledge Chervon bought Skilsaw and Skil from Bosch and that's were the similarities come from. Would have made sense to me for Bosch to change the ruler design to differentiate the new saw from their previous designs that they sold, seems lazy to me. But what do I know? 😂 Thanks for watching!
Sorry, have to correct something here. Bosch used to be the parent company of Skil. However Bosch sold the Skil brand to Chervon, the company that makes Flex, E-Go and some of the Kobalt line, several years ago.
I’m looking to get into woodworking, I want to try to make chairs, small to medium sized tables, and other similar projects, would this be a good table saw to get? Never owned one before
This is one of the best, most thorough reviews I've ever watched. I'm looking for a decent saw and this really helped educate me. Thanks !

Great info, very thorough. I usually fast forward these videos but not this time. Will probably purchase as an upgrade to my 20 year old Ridgid
I bought is saw, assembled it today. I also sold my 4100 today, if I could redo it I would have held off on selling the 4100 to see if it's stand GTA47W was compatible with GTS15-10. Whilst assembling the stand nothing lined up most of it had to be pushed to bolt it up, the bolts to attach the saw didn't line up either. The hardware was abnormal lengths with moving parts on threads. I believe the same Taiwanese manufacturer Dewalt, Delta, harbor freight and others use, manufactured this. This is nearly a perfect replica of the Dewalt DWE7491RS.
Great review! Really happy I bought this saw as a result. Tape is an issue, but I’ve seen that on a lot of saws in this price range, the rest of the features more than made up for it. We can fix that with aftermarket tape
Like many, I'm deciding between the Bosche and the DeWalt, and I'm leaning toward the Bosch because I don't feel like dealing with the stand on the DeWalt. But I know that ruler is going to bother me if it's off like it is in this video. What aftermarket tape did you wind up going with and did you account for the separate 0" / 7" positions?
I think a Starrett 4' Measure Stix tape is about $10. I guess you could get two of them, use a straight-edge and a razor to cut them in half length-wise and start the lower one at 7".
It's a pity the DeWalt DWE7491RS scale is 0" / 8" because it would be a good one to replace it with.
Bosch is great for small shop, their tools have better QC, but it came with a higher cost, heavier and bigger in size.
Ive always felt the Bosch's quality is excellent. That inaccurate ruler genuinely surprised me. Well get to some Bosch battery powered tools soon I hope. Thanks for watching Tom!!
In 2007 I got the Bosch 4000. In 2019, all the smoke escaped from the motor, along with all the factory-installed sparks and flames. I wasn't able to capture them and put them back, so I replaced it with the 4100. Now after seeing this saw, I'm tempted to clean up and sell the 4100 (still in very good condition) and replace it with this. (I also have the 18v cordless model.)
Always an awesome detailed review Mike! Thanks for sharing!
Glad you liked it Michael. Thanks for watching!
I'm sure the ruler issue has much to do with the coefficient of thermal expansion of the plastic tape, how much it was stretched during application to the *aluminum-* and at what temperature it was applied. Combine that with any temperature differential between your garage and the Taiwanese factory.
I'll have you know I keep my garage at the same temp and barometric pressure as Taiwanese factories.....🤥 Thanks for watching as always!!!!
That’s a really interesting thought. Too bad they don’t allow us to install the tape. I’ve done it before on a Phaedra I bought for cutting picture frame molding. That said I have a Fletcher mat cutter. I added a squaring arm to cut mat board. The tape they give you slides into a groove that you can adjust left or right. Once taped the end of the tape stays in place and boom, it’s all done.
Bro this guy did a dato cut dead butbrs through the core of the tree on. 4xfir all your intelligence is subtracted into amenti.
Your whole comment sounds like it was made in a taiwanese factory.
You worked really hard to type your fingers on your phone and it was the hardest you worked all week. Or year or life. Much love.
Love your pink screwdriver. I have one with flowers on it.
That screw driver was my Moms. She asked for it after using my orange one. When she passed I took it back. A Snap-On with flowers? Never seen one. Thanks for watching Eugene!
Your attention to detail is awesome.
Thank you and thanks for watching!
As soon as you showed the power button, I knew what was comin' 😹😹😹😹
LOL!!!! Thanks for watching Greg!
Nice saw. Hope they make a European version soon!
I was taught "1 rule for any job." I don't use the table edge rules on any tool, and use the tape/ruler I did the original lay-out with. Just sayin Mike. Thanks for the post. Take care & stay safe.
Wise advise Doug. Not switching tapes is key for sure. Thanks for watching!
Finally metal gears. I have 2 GTS10J and the rubber gears pretty much wear themselves out quickly. But is their mitre slot still proprietary? Sucks because I can’t buy any 3rd party sleds or rails.
Awesome review video! I found it so helpful! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!!!
Great review! Nice saw!
Thanks for watching Timothy!
Another great one in the books Mike. Keep it up. Looking forward to the upcoming reviews. That hercules miter saw reminds me a lot of the dewalt.
I agree that Hercules miter saw looks I bit like a DeWALT. Ppl said that about the Hercules table saw but I didn't see it with that one. Hopefully the miter is good quality since its considerably less money then the yellow brand. Thanks for watching Conan!!
What about the left extension?? Says ts1008. I couldn't get it too work.
Great review as always!
You mentioned in an answer to a comment that you find the skilsaw and this as top two picks in you current “fleet”. What makes the skilsaw rank anywhere near the quality of this saw?
I'd give it a 9.5 out of 10 and your video a 10 out of 10. I wish you had shown all the extra-cost options for the saw. It's a shame the saw isn't wired for 220 volts. Bosch should include a USB thumb drive with a video on how to assemble and adjust the saw. Your video would be an excellent place for them to start.
Where do you get arbor nut/clamp or dado kit. I can’t find it What is nut part number? Insert number is ts1014 but no nut or clamp for larger stack
The goofy dado nut/bolt came with that insert. I got mine on Amazon. Thanks for watching Scott!
Great content Mike. The stand on the Bosch gts15-10 seems like a step back for Bosch. What do you think of the stand compared to the older 4000 model?
What's the cause of the blade runout? Bad blade of bent motor shaft?
Do you know if the original extensions will work on this saw? Also, the stand looks a bit flimsy compared to the previous one. ??? I love my 4100 so it's not obvious if this new model is an 'upgrade' or not.
Please review the Metabo! My Ridgid died today, right in the middle of Christmas gift-making and I need a reliable quality replacement asap ... without breaking the bank of course!
I just bought one and set it up, it sounded rough on start up, took it back ordered another and got it in yesterday, plugged it in and it sounds rough on start up. Is yours that way? I tried to listen closely but I couldn't tell.
If this saw had a built in dust collection (overhead and under) with a bag, I would be sold. Sirocco dustless 10" is amazing, but does not have the soft start nor 4 extra degrees of bevel options like this Bosch.
On these reviews, how many amps is the circuit you are plugging into? My Skil 6703 is pretty nice but it kicks my 15 amp circuit in almost every cut. I have to tap a 20 amp circuit from the kitchen to get around that.
Great review. So what’s the best corded portable tablesaw you would recommend?
Great review video. Looks like though Bosch is competing with Skill for the loudness wars. 😂
is bevel manual adjust or gear driven?
Just recently found your channel. Thanks for all the info on tools you've covered. Can you or anyone else help me with the folded dimensions of the Skil SPT99? I stand my old Craftsman up against the wall when not in use and wonder if it will fit in the same hole, especially how far out it sticks with those wheels. Thanks again.
Awesome man as always. I'd love to see the new brushless cordless 20v Hercules double bevel slider if you can get to it
LOL!! Didn't notice that new battery powered saw! Seems everything I get for review gets replaced or bested by something new! Wish they sold it as a kit since I haven't jumped into that battery line yet. Thanks for the heads up!
@@ProjectsForAllReviews Hercules brushless tools are awesome dude you should try them, and batteries are extremely reasonably priced. And the 5-year no questions asked return to the store warranty like Sears in the old days... I'm not saying they're the best but their competitive
Such a great review
Could you do a comparison with the Skill 10”?
So please which one should I get the Bosch or the DeWalt great video
I have the 4100, and like it for the most part, I definitely wish it had the rack and pinion fence, I am thinking of selling my 4100 and buying this one, I was hoping that this one would have better dust collection than the 4100, since it looks like the blade shroud underneath does not have so much open area around it compared to the 4100. do you think it is better on this saw?
Great and concise Review. Bosch comes so so close to making the ‘perfect’ saw here, lousy table tape measure notwithstanding! Come on Bosch! 🙄
@20:54 NO NO !!! Please be safe!
Take care Big Mike! 👍💪🇺🇸😀
I Bought Me A Cordless10 Inch Brushless Ryobi For Only $356.23
& I've Had It For A Year Now
& It Works Great. I'd Never
Buy A Corded Miter Saw Again.
So if you had to choose, this saw or the Skilsaw SPT99. Asking for a friend😅
I know a friend in the same boat.
What are the dimensions table/carrier frame when setup.
I love my corded Bosch tools. I call them my poor mans Festool tools lol. Great review as always Mike.
That's pretty hilarious....Ive always thought of Bosch as poor mans Festool also. Thanks for watching Griffin!!
Can we get another Dewalt vs BOSCH comparison for their new table saw?
We may dip into another round of comparison vids early next year. We’ve got a bunch of new ones. Thanks for watching!
Where do you buy that special arbor but to run a dado
Pretty sure that one came from Amazon. Here's an affiliate link. Ignore the bad reviews, worked perfect for me, I just don't like the nut that should come with it. Thanks for watching!
amzn.to/3Ax07yu
Mike maybe it's time for a Head to Head Bosch vs skilsaw ❓🤷
There’s a pretty good chance we’ll get to it eventually. We’re due for a round of comparisons. Thanks for watching!
Dang I think I might be sold on it. I saw it was cheaper than the Dewalt currently. I may have to jump on it. Though I'm interested to see what the masterforce is all about. I've seen those for years but there's very little in the way of videos and reviews for that one. Will definitely be cool to see if it does well, seems well built but you never know, looks can be deceiving.
Searching UA-cam produced not one video on that Masterforce table saw. Crazy. I also never noticed until this moment that Menards has no customer reviews on the website. I never watch others review vids on tools but I will check the companies website for written customer reviews and common complaints. We're going into this one blind which makes it more fun, IMO. Thanks for watching!!
Dig this review, MIKE!👍👍
Great demo putting this through its paces. This Bosch has ⚾️⚾️’s!!!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thanks! I really like this saw! It'll be a tough decision between this and the big Skilsaw when making room time comes around. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for this excellent review! I was in the market for a new small table saw in my shop since my Ryobi bt3100 died. I am now the proud owner of this Bosch GTS 1510 table saw. I've been using it for the past few Weeks and find it to be an excellent and accurate tablesaw. The one thing that I am not too pleased with is the sliding miter gauge which fits poorly into the track. As a result, even when the gauge is set accurately, there can be enough lateral movement to cause inaccurate cuts. Has anyone found this to be the same? Or maybe more importantly, has anyone built their own sliding miter sled for the saw? I'd be interested to know what design plans are out there.
Great video. Would you be able to tell me the difference between this saw and Bosch 4100xc saw? I have an opportunity to buy a 4100xc on sale. However, I want to buy the best out of the 2 saws. Thank u.
Just note the 4100 series is notorious for motor failures. Generally either the circuit board (for the soft start) or the bearing. I have a 4000 (the model before) and just cooked the motor (after 17 years, in my case, I think it's the field coil). I'm an advanced DIYer but I imagine if this was on a contractor's truck that 17 years would have been much, much sooner. That said, I'm still leaning towards this as the replacement. The other two options would be the Skilsaw SPT99-11 and DeWalt 7491RS.
Thank you for your reply. I feel the same way.
My saw sounds really rough on start up and it's new
I have the older model and I don’t know how to adjust my fence. It’s always cricket
Good jolly, Mike, this looks like a heck of a saw. Now if I could only come up with $650 (sales tax here is crazy); that's about the same as I payed for my cabinet saw years ago. But, I really want to have a saw dedicated to a dado blade that I can move easily. Does it come with the zero clearance throat plate, or the dado throat? I guess made in Taiwan is better than made in China. I'd have to agree on that arbor length and the nut. Good luck, brother. Man, you hogged that out all in one pass, that's impressive. I like the saw, but I'm waiting to see the other saws before I make a choice. It's a bit cheaper than the DeWalt...but I think you can guess how I lean.
Hey Meat! This ones got a lot of good stuff going for it. The throat plates were extra but not too expensive. Just got back from Lowes with the Kobalt saw. With the Masterforce and red Skil should make for a good cheap saw shootout. Maybe we'll do a round of ultra cheaps soon too. The Ryobi is hanging over me like a black cloud, will have to get to it eventually. Thanks for watching!
@@ProjectsForAllReviews Masterforce is a Menard's saw? That's a mid-west thang. Good job, once again, Mike.
As far as the scale, maybe the are using 25mm per inch rather than 25.4mm and the weird arbor nut for dados might be a cheap way to produce a USA saw WITH dado capability and a second model for the EU without the threaded end of the arbor (no DADO for EU).
That was my assumption too Mike. Thanks for watching!
So Mike you've tested quite a few table saws has anyone come close to beating out the DELTA ❓
AND AS FAR AS THE MEASURING scale on the table saw did you replace the original one are how did you adjust it ❓thanks as always appreciate your content very informative and fun to watch 😊
I seriously doubt we'll find a job saw that will make me get rid of the Delta. Every so often I contemplate selling it to make space but I know Id instantly regret it. Truth is I rarely use it anymore since I always have review saws that need testing. Ive sold a few off but still currently have seven table saws in the garage including the Delta. 🤣 I meant to replace the ruler on the big Skilsaw after the review but now I'm glad I didn't since it made a good point in this vid. Thanks for watching!
@@ProjectsForAllReviews
Appreciate your response Mike,
So now excluding the DELTA out of the job site saws "if" you had to pick one which one would it be ❓
@myk1200s The answer might surprise you. Since the Delta stays I’d lean towards small and powerful and would most likely keep the 8 1/4 Skilsaw Wormdrive. Outstanding quality and power. It could be bested by a battery powered saw but time will tell.
@@ProjectsForAllReviews
YAH.. I was impressed by that review also thanks Mike as always have a great day.
Any outfeed support?
I forget something in every video.....Heres the affiliate link and I added it in the description. amzn.to/3SnmSut Thanks for watching!
Bosch GTS 15-10 or Dewalt 4792. Which is a better choice?
Not available here in Europe 😢
I’m torn between Bosch GTS15-10 and Dewalt DWE7491RS. Will you be able to do a side by side comparison between the two?
Short answer, possibly. I have multiple vids with that DeWALT which is now back with its owner. That reviewed saw is 10 years old and Im told the newest version has multiple updates. We'll see if I can squeeze it into the budget, after all it definitely gets the views. Thanks for watching!
Please would you review the new evolution tablesaw Please thank you
Little bird told me should hopefully be released in the US at the end of the year. I’d be surprised if Evo doesn’t send one over for review. Solid yes on this one. Thanks for watching!
Width table saws such as the Skil hovering below $400.00, I think this table saw would be a hard sell except for Bosch enthusiasts..
Ive used this for about 5 months doing wood flooring, i would never go back to dewalt.
Really? I like this saw too but Ive also used the DWE7491RS a lot and I like that one about the same. Thanks for watching!
Does look like it's nice, I see guys getting these jobsite saws to save room only to build it into a bench that takes more room then a contractor saw, even cabinets lol never understood that as they will never be as good as either I just mentioned, I've heard Bosh don't work well with common accessories and only use Bosh accessories which is a huge turn off, least that's the case with their routers..
love most of the videos, BUT the audio is sooo low
Some of the older vids definitely had audio issues before I figured it out. This is the first video edited on my new desktop setup without headphones. I'll have to reexamine. Thanks for the heads up and for watching!!
Ola buenos días oyga cual es el precio de esta sierra de Mesa
$549 US on Amazon ($50 off compared to the big box stores here in the US)

Ha. 0:43 I do have an orange cat at home which I do not trust. Sold.
LOL!! That cat is never-ending source of funny pics! Thanks for watching!!
👏👏👏
With that much fence dip and the blade waver, did you check the flatness of those rips? I'd be interested in variations.
I havd one serious problem wiyh these saws and its not just the bosch. It looks like the rise and fall mechanism for the blade is the same as previous saws and is just as exposed, these jam up with dust and get damaged, i have one at at the moment that is unusable. this is a massive problem that should have been fixed.
I think youre throwing the tape measure off by squishing it with clamps.
Doesn’t matter if it’s clamped or not. I clamped it so you can see it didn’t move. Thanks for watching!
@@ProjectsForAllReviews Its not about moving, its about deforming the tape slightly.
@@evictioncarpentry2628 I hear ya but it’s the same with all of the tapes clamped or not.
With a price that high, these projects are not for all. 😤
😂
LOL!!! Seems like I'm spending budget table saw money at the grocery store on the weekly. 2-3 visits to Jewel is about the $ equivalent of 1 high end job saw! Thanks for watching!
Dewalt is a white label company they don't design or manufacture anything it is all out sourced, this new saw looks remarkably like the Dewalt DWE7491RS.
Skil is now the parent company of Robert Bosch, so it's not a stretch of imagination to see both the Bosch and Skil tapes off to the same degree. Someone mentioned temperature at application. Maybe so. In any case, I never trust those tapes for anything but coarse measures...like if I need an eight inch cut, slide the fence close to 8 while I'm grabbing my tape.
On tape measures: if you start a project with one certain tape, use that specific tape all the way through to completion. There is just enough difference between a DeWalt inch and a Milwaukee inch to give you migraines...just sayin' 😮😢
I agree the ruler on table saws is only on there because it would be weird if there was no ruler. I do however use the ruler on my Delta for non super critical cutting, it's done fine. To my knowledge Chervon bought Skilsaw and Skil from Bosch and that's were the similarities come from. Would have made sense to me for Bosch to change the ruler design to differentiate the new saw from their previous designs that they sold, seems lazy to me. But what do I know? 😂 Thanks for watching!
Sorry, have to correct something here. Bosch used to be the parent company of Skil. However Bosch sold the Skil brand to Chervon, the company that makes Flex, E-Go and some of the Kobalt line, several years ago.
Lol.. Not even close! The DeWalt took that crown a long time ago!
I’m looking to get into woodworking, I want to try to make chairs, small to medium sized tables, and other similar projects, would this be a good table saw to get? Never owned one before
