Bosch ProfessionalTable Saw GTS 10 XC (incl. Dust extraction adapter, Storage for additional saw blade, Parallel guide, Push stick, Angle guide, circular saw blade)

Wow! This machine is a thing of beauty. Accurate and pretty near perfect square straight out of the box - though fine adjustment is possible for anyone good enough to be concerned about any minuscule error. The fence is very nice - smooth running and good grip both sides when its lovely clamp is down. The low profile add-on fence guide is brill, and a moments work to fit with the supplied bolts and superb chrome wing nuts. Hand-wheel blade lift mechanism is good, as is the blade tilt. The table is cast aluminium, and is really a cut above most other site saws I've come across. The sliding portion of the table is a great feature and works well. Scale is pretty good, though I would never rely completely on an onboard ruler. Extender makes the table considerably more usable for long cuts. Blade guard well designed and easy to fit or remove. Riving knife can be pushed down for making non-through slots - no tools needed for this which is pretty fabulous if you do a lot of grooving cuts. Nice powerful motor with plenty of power. I wasn't sure about the plastic body when I was making up my mind whether or not to buy, but it's fine. Rugged enough to withstand the usual battering site equipment gets. The supplied blade is nothing to get excited about - pretty much what you generally expect though. I intend to replace it fairly soon with a better one. The accessories can be stowed at various points on the body for transportation which is nice, but care is needed as they are not well protected when in their stowage points. One point to note if you're a weedy little punk like me - this machine is a lump so unless you're a gorilla you won't be casually picking it up with one hand and carrying it like a lunch box to your site, even if it does have very solid and comfortable handles. The solution - buy the gravity rise bench/truck to go with it. It too is worth every penny, and will double as a very usable and super heavy duty deep foot truck for moving big stuff around with. In summary then. The important bits are very good indeed. I believe it is the perfect choice for anyone who wants an accurate and eminently worthy table saw but is limited with space. There are a couple of niggles as mentioned, but these are by no means deal breakers. I am totally delighted with mine and so very glad I didn't go for any of the competitor machines.

This my first table saw so this isn't an expert review.I like the soft start and braked stop; the solid build without being silly heavy; the sliding table and easy to use fence; the extending sections. The thing is not over noisy and feels safe to use even for a novice.It could be improved by the sliding table and mitre slots being a closer tolerance to avoid slop. The fence is rock solid but you do have to check for square each time. The blade rise wheel is a bit plasticky and setting the blade angle is slightly awkward - it would be nice if this adjusted using a wheel. A bit of plastic pipe for dusty extraction would have been nice too. The table surface could have beenA bit flatter and the grey finish can mark the wood. I will replace the blade with one with more teeth.My criticisms are all however fairly minor and I have been able to get some quick and accurate cuts already. Overall an excellent bit of kit that would doubtless cost more if improved. Happy.

Having conducted a lot of research prior to purchasing a replacement for my aging & cheap table saw I opted for this.Numerous previous reviews gave rise to the fact that the fence & sliding table were not square - This is easily remedied if you spend a little bit of time after putting it together.The process of putting it together is very simple - It just involves putting the various attachments in place as the unit is supplied virtually complete.Once together I had to re align the fence, ensure it was square and tighten the rear of the fence, - Very handy that you are able to lock not only the front of the fence but also the rearThe sliding table does have between 1-2 mm of play from side to side - To prevent this and to ensure every cut is square all I did was square the sliding table whilst holding the handle/knob to the right. Provided I do this every time the cut will be square.To extend the cutting width of the table all you do is undo a handle & pull the extension out - very quick & simple to doThe motor is braked but does seem to take a little more time than I would expect to stop the blade - It is still however much better than a non braked motorI made my own table stand for it to sit on and find it relatively easy to pick up & move around.The saw blade supplied is not the best in the world but this can easily be remedied after you purchase the sawOverall this is fantastic value for money & plenty man enough to handle most applicable tasks

Excellent table saw, great price and design. Easy to assemble and use.

This is a great saw. My first foray in to 'professional' level equipment.Easy to set up, needed a little adjustment but was easy to do and is spot on to the mm on cuts time and again.Blade supplies is good but I went for a 60t version of the optiline. Just remember the kerd needs to be greater than 2.3mm and the blade thickness less than 2.2mm (as there are multiole Optiline versions out there).Some have said the sliding carriage and the mitre guage have lots of play, whilst its true there is a little, its not affected any cuts to date that have been cross cut.Motor is relatively quiet and the soft start function means no start up current spike.Love the onboard tool storage and the fence is straight when locked every time.Like many things, take your time with it and it will work perfectly. Rush things and you might get adverse effects.
