Bosch Table Saw Replacement

[Greatwhitewing]

I have a Bosch 10 inch job site table saw, 4100-09, that has served me well for many years (since 2012) but starting to just wear out mostly in the proprietary fence system. replacement parts are generally not available. I use mine as compact shop saw and not tossing into a truck bed every day. My use is rolling out of the garage and sometimes one cut and other times running it for 8 hours, well 4 hours as I get older.

So far my 2 main options are the Bosch GTS15-10 and the Dewalt DWE7491RS. Can anyone describe the pros and cons (accuracy and ease of use for larger sheet goods) of each one or another similar option? I am about youtube'd out, rather hear from real world users. Anyone actually use a dado set with the Dewalt?

Thanks

I replied briefly earlier and should have asked what you had in mind. Private message is fine if you prefer.

If you're looking to save your old saw I would be happy to send you the fence and any other parts you might need. (Mine is ~ 2008.) I bought a newer replacement Bosch saw off CL when the motor quit on this one. Fence is slightly different on the newer saw.

Or, if you're going to replace yours anyway, I would be interested in buying the motor assembly from your saw. Don't really need two, but I could leave one up at the cabin....

Saving my old saw is a new option I hadn't considered as viable until now with your generous offer, you're confusing me (lol). I was getting new gear'itus but perhaps it makes sense for a fence. I sure like the idea of some added rip capacity of the DeWalt hence my indecision.

Can I get back you in a few days?

If I decide for a new saw the motor and anything else you need would be shipping and packaging only which might a little pricey. Not looking to make a profit from this.

No hurry. We're back and forth between our cabin and the house, shuttling grandkids, appointments, etc.
I will verify the model #, take pics,etc. if that's the direction you decide to go.

It died last summer, I found the replacement on CL a week later. For some reason I have been reluctant to toss the old one out. Maybe this is the reason....

FWIW if you do go the Dewalt DWE7491RS route, I luv mine. I've only had it about a year now but it's seen quite a bit of work so far.

Only other jobsite saw I've used was a Ridgid and I sure wouldn't want to go back to that. Everyone tried to take turns being the cut man on it before we realized it really was the saw that was to blame. Getting the Dewalt was night and day difference. The difference in price between those saws was nothing compared to the cost of the scrap between them on just one small garage build.

Since you mentioned "sheet goods" and "getting older", I'll throw out the idea of looking into a track-saw for some of your work. Dados on the table saw or use a router and the track-saw track..

Have you given this any more thought?

No and I am sorry for not getting back to you. Been really distracted with "life" including stubborn HVAC problems and failures and completely brain farted this subject.
For the next few weeks or months I am sticking with what I have and perhaps be better prepared to deal with this then.

 

[PugetDude]

Thanks for the update, sorry to hear about your HVAC issues. Just get back to me when you can. If anything changes on this end I will let you know.

Are you still interested in the motor and or other parts off my Bosch saw? Pulled the trigger on a new saw.
Let me know what you think is a reasonable price. Once I get the parts out and weighed I can figure out shipping might be. Can go private if you prefer.

[PugetDude]

I'd be interested in the motor assembly. Everything else works on my old saw.
Let me know what you think is fair.

 

[Greatwhitewing]

I have no idea which is why I asked you.. lol
Does $25 plus actual shipping work for you? USPS rates seem astronomical to me with cheapest being around $50. I assumed 15 pound 12x12x12 box which all are pure SWAGS till I take it out and weigh.
If you have a suggestion for a more economical method to ship I am all ears. I am in MA so pretty far from AZ

Thanks for your efforts, but the cost of shipping the motor assembly is a deal killer. (Turned out $150 just for shipping)

Anyone in the Phoenix area want a Bosch Table saw with a bad motor?
