Portable Jobsite Table Saw Precision & Accuracy

Rack and pinion fences are quicker to adjust, hold in place better during cuts, and provide better accuracy. Overwhelmingly the crew really likes the rack and pinion fences that DEWALT, Hitachi and SkilSaw have on their saws. Lastly, we spent some time evaluating the fences. The bottom line is with a good dust extractor attached there was negligible difference between the saws. We attached a Bosch dust extractor to each saw and measured the weight of dust collected for a fixed number of cuts. We also did some testing of dust collection to see if there were any significant differences between the saws. While some stands required more than twice the time, we felt the assembly time was not a significant enough factor to change someone’s mind on which saw to purchase. The assembly time for the saws ranged from 21 minutes to 48 minutes. We had the same person assemble each of the saws and timed the assembly to see if there are any significant differences between the models. One of the things we looked at was the ease of assembly out of the box.

MAX Dado Cut Width: “13/16″, but presently comes with an insert that only allows 1/2.

Safety: Flesh Sensing Technology exclusive to SawStop.

Specific differences in the saws are listed below. Each of the saws uses a 10 inch blade, 15 amp motor and they are all able to use a dado set. All 8 of these jobsite table saws are similar in size and capacity. In addition to traditional ergonomics, we also included functionality in this category.īefore we present the testing results, it’s helpful to set the stage by listing all the features and specifications for comparison.

Ergonomics – Ergonomics are really important to users and an important category to consider when purchasing any power tool.

We’ve included the current pricing found online for each of the saws at the time of publication.

Price – Price is always an important factor in determining which saw is best for a user.

We measured saw RPM’s and Amps for each of the cutting materials under constant feed rates.

Performance – The performance evaluation took a very deep dive into the power of the saw motors and how well the saws managed different ripping materials including plywood, pressure treated Southern Yellow Pine 5/4 decking and Mahogany 5/4 decking.

We also discuss the quality of the fence system as it relates to ripping accurate cuts.

Precision & Accuracy – In this category we evaluated the accuracy of the table saws straight out of the box, and how easy it is to make calibration adjustments.

For each of these categories we’ll rank the saws and at the end we’ll name the Best Portable Jobsite Table Saw based on all the results combined.

For this evaluation, we broke things into several categories including: Precision & Accuracy, Performance (power), Price, and Ergonomics. Once again our team has put some serious time and effort into our Head-to-Head evaluation to bring you the most comprehensive information available.

Originally, we had also to include Ryobi as a budget friendly option for DIY’ers or guys just starting in the trades. This portable jobsite table saw head-to-head includes 8 saws from Bosch, Delta, DEWALT, Hitachi, Makita, Ridgid, SawStop and Skilsaw. We are not including cordless table saws in this test as we plan on doing another head-to-head exclusively for cordless table saws later this year as several are available now. For this Head-to-Head we’re focusing on corded portable 10″ jobsite table saws. For carpenters that don’t work exclusively in the shop a portable jobsite table saw is essential. One of the most widely used power tools for carpenters is the table saw.
