A Worth Replacement To Bosch’s 4100 Series?? || Bosch GTS15-10 Table Saw || Full Review

[@fZionists78]

I greatly appreciate the integrity and thoroughness of these reviews. Another high quality production.

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

Thank you!! We've got some good ones in the works, thanks for watching!!

[@fZionists78]

I won’t make the decision just yet, and thank you. This Bosch is looking good after hearing/seeing your review. Nothing is perfect and I’m grateful for your obviously expert, critical analysis. Looking forward to more critical explanations and why I should/or not consider what. Wise channel.

[@raypolakowski7172]

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.

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!

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

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!!

[@thomasswenddal772]

Your reviews are the best I've seen. They are very fair, get right to the point and are not overly wordy. Thanks so much!

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

Thank you Thomas! Welcome to the channel!

[@thecitiots]

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!

[@jessmac1893]

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

[@willum5175]

Great video Mike! That ruler is crazy. You’d think a $600+ saw would give us an accurate ruler. That deep dado cut was impressive!

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

Thank You!! Who would have guessed Id have to check the accuracy of the rulers on all the new table saw reviews. 🙄 Maybe they should partner with Lufkin, or maybe I should start checking all my tape measures!! Thanks for watching!

[@georgedavall9449]

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! 👍💪🇺🇸😀

[@JeffStoner]

Nice saw! I really like how the angle stops flip out of the way so you don't have to monkey around with them every time you want those extra 1-2 degrees. Good job.

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

There is some pretty good features on this one! Thanks for watching Jeff!

[@marvinbenjamin3015]

Very great design table saw from bosch and the sound of the motor is what impressed me most.

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

This ones impressive all around. It'll be tough to choose between this and the Skilsaw when making room for more time comes around. Thanks for watching!

[@Shannon-v3r]

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

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

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!

[@eugenekilmer9407]

Love your pink screwdriver. I have one with flowers on it.

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

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!

[@dusty265]

There we have it! another great review, Honest and in-depth, really appreciate your hard work and dedication to the channel, looking forward to the other saws you mentioned. Thanks again

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

Thanks for watching Dusty! Im the most excited for the Masterforce. A quick KZbin search produces not a single video about that saw, which I find shocking. I guess the regional distributor, zero marketing and generic name has produced the internet hype you would expect. See you in the next one!

[@rickhayhoe]

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.

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

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!

[@raypolakowski7172]

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.

[@rlm975]

Your attention to detail is awesome.

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

Thank you and thanks for watching!

[@jessmac1893]

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

[@GordonGEICO]

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.

[@radinsyah1574]

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.

[@felixnicolini]

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.

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

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!

[@gregmize01]

As soon as you showed the power button, I knew what was comin' 😹😹😹😹

[@tedcook8749]

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?

[@michart9102]

Thanks for this review, I've been on the fence about which saw to buy, I already have a combo of Bosch tools along with some Festool. You are the best tool reviewer on KZbin hands down. Informative and detailed explanations make all the difference, Keep up the great work, I really appreciate it, thanks from down in New Zealand.

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

Glad you liked the review! I really appreciate the support, Thanks for watching!!

[@GumbootZone]

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.)

[@tom0428]

Bosch is great for small shop, their tools have better QC, but it came with a higher cost, heavier and bigger in size.

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

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!!

[@dougdavidson175]

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.

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

Wise advise Doug. Not switching tapes is key for sure. Thanks for watching!

[@blagalong]

I’m torn between Bosch GTS15-10 and Dewalt DWE7491RS. Will you be able to do a side by side comparison between the two?

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

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!

[@Conan_Obrien]

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.

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

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!!

[@dahut3614]

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.

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

I'll have you know I keep my garage at the same temp and barometric pressure as Taiwanese factories.....🤥 Thanks for watching as always!!!!

[@jimwiskus8862]

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.

[@meggiehanzlik3187]

[@RDHarris]

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.

[@Ken-kb5fw]

So if you had to choose, this saw or the Skilsaw SPT99. Asking for a friend😅

[@raypolakowski7172]

I know a friend in the same boat.

[@scottcvengros]

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

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

The goofy dado nut/bolt came with that insert. I got mine on Amazon. Thanks for watching Scott!

[@charleschi843]

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.

[@ghostshadow1]

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.

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

Searching KZbin 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!!

[@mechanicforlife9468]

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.

[@raypolakowski7172]

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.

[@mechanicforlife9468]

Thank you for your reply. I feel the same way.

[@stevegiesel1812]

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.

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

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.

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.

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

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).

[@woodrowsmith3400]

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' 😮😢

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

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!

[@joelrodriguez9661]

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.
