Table Saw

[hfd7c]

I'm looking into purchasing a new table saw and am looking for some recommendations. It will be used for generalized ripping (plywood, 1x, 2x, etc). I am also starting to get into making some furniture and things (nothing too extensive). Two that I have been looking into are the Dewalt DWE7491rs and the Bosch 4100-09. I know these can handle the general ripping but advise as to whether or not this style saw will be up to basic furniture making would be appreciated. A cabinet saw is out of the question at this time.

The Bosch 4100 is first class. It will be the next table saw I buy. Look no further.

I'm no expert on either of these saws, but both have the power and stand you would want, and aux fence slots for jigs and sleds. I can't remember who said it but basically they said the blade is almost as important as the saw. Here's a good article about different blades. It's a bit old and they only talk about freud blades, but it's a good reference.

I was actually thinking about the Ridgid r4510. It has pretty good reviews over on HD's website, but the reviews on Amazon kinda made me take a step back. Looks like a lot of people were having trouble with the motor burning out.   Looks like Bosch and the Dewalt are the best alternatives. Bosch rip capacity = 25in and weighs 60lbs. Dewalt rip capacity =32.5in and weighs 90lbs. I wish I could demo both. I was using a buddies kobalt table saw (75lbs) to rip a sheet of plywood lengthwise and I noticed the saw tip a little. The heavier dewalt might work out better in that aspect.

Thanks for the replies so far guys. Keep any advise, comments, recommendations or comparisons coming. I have used my buddies ridgid table saw quite a bit and its actually pretty nice. Its way nicer than the old compact dewalt saws I have used a ton in the past. I think the dewalt rack and pinion fence system on the newer saws is a nicer design than the ridgid as its going to keep it square but I don't have any actually experience with it.

I have the DeWalt and have used the Bosch and they are both good saws. The one stand out feature between the 2 saws is the stand. The DeWalt is a more stable set-up besides that you cannot go wrong with either one.
