5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful little table saw, May 30, 2011

This review is from: Bosch GTS1031 10-Inch Portable Jobsite Table Saw (Tools & Home Improvement)
I am actually surprised at the negative reviews for this saw. I've had mine for a few weeks now and would have to say that I am very happy with it. The alignments are right on the money and I absolutely love how all the accesories store underneath the saw. It doesn't come with the best miter gauge but, then again, what saw in this price range " does " come with a decent miter gauge? Even the blade that comes with this saw cuts pretty well. I have crosscut and ripped and cut plywood with the included blade and they have all come out with better than expected results, not perfect, but pretty good. I don't think that I could expect more from a $400 saw. It's not comparable to a $5000 cabinet saw but it only costs $400 so that is to be expected. The fence is true, the blade is 90 degrees and if you invest in an aftermarket miter gauge ( like an Incra ) you will have a saw that can give you very accurate results. I love this saw, well worth the money and I bet that it is probably the best... Read more

This review is from: Bosch GTS1031 10-Inch Portable Jobsite Table Saw (Tools & Home Improvement)
I was a little skeptical buying this saw since there were no customer reviews to read on account of it being so new. I was torn between buying the this and 10 inch Dewalt priced around 320 at home depot. I had previously worked with the Dewalt and it was a decent tool but it seemed that the new Bosch had a lot more features. I have to say I've only been pleasantly surprised so far.

The Bosch is slightly heavier than the Dewalt at 52 pounds but the side handle makes it so easy to carry around that you don't mind. On top of which this saw can store vertically saving a bunch of space. It was perfect out of the box, no adjustment needed and it took me less than 15 minutes to assemble all parts and get a general working idea of how to operate it. The rip fence was a little awkard intially, the release mechanism requires a lot of force to push up and you almost feel like you're breaking something but after a couple of uses it loosened up and felt more natural. The Dewalt rip... Read more

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program ( What's this?)
This weekend, I set up my new Bosch table saw. Its the 1031, the new kid on the block and a perfect replacement for my old Craftsman. The 'put-together' went very easily, simply followed the directions which were concise but thorough. Assembly involved positioning of the blade (I didn't bother with the one it came with, a .102" tooth kerf, just put a 10" blade on the arbor that I trusted from another machine), set up the riving knife, guards and anti-kickback prawl. They pretty much just screwed right into place, perfect placement on screw holes, etc. Setup was all of 10 minutes. I did not use the legs, I bolted the unit to my workbench, which was also very easy.

Adjusting the blade to the 0 degree stop went well, though the 45 degree stop didn't look quite right on the scale, the blade measured to 45 degrees. Then I reset to 0 degrees and remeasured and it was fine. That's important. For some saws, one the arbor is moved to an angled bevel, it never successfully gets... Read more
