opinions on bosch 4100 table saw

[volpster31]

im on the verge of buying this saw

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000S5S5CW/?tag=atomicindus08-20

with all the discounts on sears.com ,$300 in gift cards and the good old 50ff50 coupon the grand total will be $171.50 my question is ...is this a good saw?? i dont need it to be portable but i would like to fold it up in the garage

im a total noob with table saws

I have that saw and I love it. I have the older base that does not have the wheels and I wish I had that base. For that price, I would be all over it.

I'm a contractor & I have used that saw for years. It is quite excellent & is consistently rated as the best in its class.

Now don't expect it to be a cabinet saw; it isn't and sometimes struggles while ripping wet 2"x pressure-treated lumber, but it is still a fine tool.

It's a bamf. You can get one without the base for about half that price, though. Then, with the money you save you can make a really nice base.

i got 3 replies here and ordered it!!!! its funny i refreshed the page at 9:01 pm and the price dropped again???? it ended up costing me $149.40 on the sears card which i will pay off on payday i had $300 in gift cards and could have bought a bunch of smaller stuff or this and i decided ive been wanting a table saw forever so i didi it thanks for the replies guys

I think you will enjoy the saw,as someone already pointed out don't expect to be ripping
treated wood with a high moisture rate. If you need to cut large plywood sheets you will need to first cut them with a circular saw.

Its not German or Swiss or even Mexican...

Great saw. You will be happy.

It is the best portable saw you can buy. I have one and my dad has one.

Made this on it:

I got one and like it. The base is really slick too.

Congrats on the purchase!

I'd like to chime in that I've heard nothing but great things about it, and back when I was considering getting a contractor saw, that's the one I had my eye on.

I bought one last year, was walking threw menards one day and saw it with a red tag on the price. Looked closer and it was on sale for 420 bucks and it included the stand so I snapped one up. I love the saw. I did change the blade out right away to a freud. I don't use it a lot but it sure is nice to have when needed, and it does fold up and store nice in the garage.

Is this the best foldable / storable table saw available?

Great portable table saw. Made in Taiwan.

When I was buying my Bosch 4100 I wanted it in 220 volts. I tried to source it from other countries but could not find one. In the end I had to settle for 110V. Looks like this particular Bosch table saw model is for US Domestic Market consumption only.

If you want a german one, Mafell makes them for you

Got the older model. great saw. excellent base,

I have an older Makita table saw that I use when I need a portable table saw, it's served me well but by today's standards its a little dated. The BOSCH looks nice and has some nice features.

This is the jobsite saw that all the other jobsite saws wish they were and has been for decades.
Are you saying that you picked it up at Sears for $450?? How?

 

[volpster31]

it was on sale for $599 an when i added it to my card it gave me 5%,5%,5%,5% discount...then i used a 50ff50 coupon code and my associate discount(10%) that brought it to $476 and then for some reason when i went to checkout it dropped it to $449 .....after that i had to grab it


f.y.i sears charges tax on their online site otherwise it would have been cheaper still
