🛠️ Table Saw Evaluation Introduction
This paragraph introduces a comprehensive evaluation of 10-inch jobsite table saws, focusing on portability and performance. The script explains the exclusion of cordless models for a future comparison and the decision to include only saws with a 15 amp motor that can be fitted with a data set. The Ryobi saw, initially considered for budget options, was removed from testing due to incompatibility with the testing rig. The evaluation format includes assembly time, dust collection, and a breakdown of categories such as precision, accuracy, performance, price, and ergonomics. The goal is to provide the most thorough information available on these table saws.
🔍 Precision and Accuracy Assessment
The second paragraph delves into the precision and accuracy testing of the table saws. It emphasizes the importance of out-of-the-box accuracy for contractors and the potential safety implications of as-built inaccuracies. The testing included evaluating table flatness, 45 and 90-degree stops, blade parallelism to the slot, fence parallelism, and blade run-out. The SawStop and Makita saws performed well right out of the box, while others like the Ridgid required calibration. The precision summary ranked the saws, with the SawStop leading, followed by Makita and Bosch/Dewalt in a tie for third.
🏗️ Performance Testing on Various Materials
This paragraph discusses the performance testing of the table saws using three different materials: AC plywood, mahogany decking, and pressure-treated southern yellow pine. The tests measured blade speed under load, motor amp draw, and noise level (decibels). The SawStop outperformed others with the lowest average drop in blade speed, followed by the skill saw and Makita. The performance summary winner, based on a combination of RPM and amp draw data, was the skill saw, described as a 'beast' by the crew, with Hitachi and Dewalt closely following.
💰 Price and Ergonomics Considerations
The fourth paragraph covers the price evaluation of the table saws, with the Hitachi offering an incredible deal at $349 and the SawStop being the most expensive at $1,299. The paragraph also addresses ergonomics, which is crucial for reducing fatigue and injury risk. Factors such as weight, power switch location, accessory storage, fence adjustments, and stand features were rated. The decibel levels of the saws were also measured, noting that all require hearing protection. The ergonomics ranking placed Dewalt and Makita at the top, with Hitachi and skill saw in a close second.
🏆 Final Rankings and Safety Features
The final paragraph summarizes the overall findings of the table saw evaluation. Hitachi was identified as the best portable jobsite table saw, narrowly beating Dewalt in performance and price. Skill saw took third place, slightly ahead of Makita, mainly due to price considerations. The paragraph also highlights the importance of safety, particularly mentioning the SawStop's flesh-sensing brake technology as a valuable safety feature, despite its higher cost. It concludes by emphasizing the difficulty of the evaluation process and the limitations in scope, but assures that all tested saws are good options, and the data provided can help viewers make informed decisions based on their specific needs and budget.
📺 Closing Remarks and Call to Action
The closing paragraph serves as a sign-off from the host, Rob Robillard, thanking viewers for watching the head-to-head evaluation. It includes a call to action for viewers to subscribe to the video channel for more content, and it is bookended by background music, signaling the end of the video.

one of the most widely used power tools
for carpenters is a table saw and for
this head-to-head we focused on 10-inch
courted jobsite table saws portable
jobsite table saws we're purposely not
including the cordless table saws that
are out right now because we plan on
doing that in another head-to-head later
this year because several other models
are going to be coming up we're probably
we want to make sure we have a good
sampling for this particular
head-to-head we looked at 8 sauce we
looked at the Bosch the Delta
Dewalt Hitachi Makita rigid saw stop and
skill saw 8 saws each of these saws have
a 15 amp motor and they are all able to
be able to be fitted with a data set
originally you might see the ryobi in
our pictures in our video we wanted to
include it as a budget-friendly option
di wires and maybe for you know
prentices or young guys getting into the
trades but unfortunately we were unable
to adapt it to our testing rig so we
pulled it right out of our testing so
again you might see it but we didn't
include it in our results if you're
interested in anything I say you have
more questions or I didn't go deep
enough in-depth enough it's because I
can't cover everything in a video you
need to go read the article a toolbox
bus specs testing criteria it's all
explained in the article let's talk
about evaluation format once again our
team put together put put in some
serious time and effort to put together
an evaluation to hopefully bring you the
most comprehensive table saw information
that's out there right now we looked at
assembly because one of the things that
we thought about was how easy is it to
assemble out of the box so we had the
same person assemble each SAR and we
timed that assembly and we did that to
see if there were any significant
differences to report to you between the
models so our results were the assembly
time for these saws range from 21
minutes to 48 minutes we felt that the
assembly time was not really a
significant enough factors
certainly not enough to change someone's
mind whether they wanted to purchase a
saw or not so we moved forward to dust
collection we also did some testing with
dust collection and we wanted to see if
there any significant differences
between these saws on dust collection
well all these saws are now competing
for like 2% 2% it seems we attached a
Bosch dust extractor with new fleece
bags each and we measured the dust
collected over a fixed number of cuts
bottom line where the good dust
extractor attached to these saws the
results are negligible this reel no
difference so for this head-to-head
evaluation we decided to break things
down into several categories so this is
what we did measure and what we're going
to report to you we looked at precision
and accuracy we looked at performance
and we define that in power we looked at
price and then finally we looked at
organ onyx for each of these categories
we rank the saws and at the end we named
a winner of that category but also we
rank the all the categories to give you
the best portable jobsite saw based on
those results combined let's talk about
precision and accuracy one thing I want
to talk about is in the commercial
construction business we guys typically
buy a jobsite saw for each project
that's how it works and they use it
during the course of an 18-month 24
month project when these saws hit the
jobsite they're unboxed they're
assembled and they are immediately
deployed into use and they start ripping
stacks and stacks of sheet goods and
these saws and the tolerances of the cut
materials to them at that with that kind
of cutting it's not very critical but
what if a contractor uses their job site
saw for higher quality built-ins and
high tolerance finish cuts like maybe I
do on a remodel in that case saw
accuracy is critical in this case if the
saw is immediately put into use success
really depends upon the out-of-the-box
accuracy of the manufacturer or you've
got to take the time and you've got a
true your saw which a lot of guys do and
you should so the quality of the cuts
are more importantly and potentially
safety of the operator is going to be a
function for a lot of guys as the
as-built
Hasaan because a lot of guys just take
the saw and use it they don't tune it up
so we compared the relative as-built
accuracy of these tests us right out of
the box right is set up to us to assess
the manufacturer's accuracy of these
eight saws we looked at six different
areas we look at table flatness accuracy
said the 45 and 90 stops blade parallel
to the slot and fence parallel to the
slot and lastly we looked at blade
run-out alright for flatness we evaluate
the flatness of the table by measuring
with placing an edge of a precision
ground bar useful for that purpose and
we did it across the table we used a
feeler gauges to measure any gaps we
also used a light source we took
measurements in four directions to
parallel each way and we compiled a set
of data and ranked the results by
assigning one two or three to the
relative values of the test measurements
we constantly use our one two and three
as our scoring it keeps things very
simple for us then we rank the saws for
overall as manufactured table flatness
as a point of reference guys a typical
sheet of paper is approximately fallen
thousandths of an inch so keep that in
mind when we start talking about these
measurements flatness measurements went
from absolute zero perfect to nine one
hundredths of an inch we measure the
accuracy we also measured the accuracy
of the factory set 45 degrees stop we
used a digital in kilometer and this
device has an accuracy of one tenth of a
degree we calibrated the in kilometer to
the table by zeroing it out on that
gauge and then after that calibration
you know that Dave it was mounted onto
the blade its magnet mount and we must
on the blade and we would we would
basically get our measurements off of
the blade
we used the saw mechanism the saw blade
mechanism to adjust the blade incline to
the points that we needed to and we went
to the 45 degrees stop and recorded
those measurements I want to say that on
all of these tests we did everything
twice to ensure that we had
repeatability of our measurements that's
important that you can repeat these
tests most of the saw
measured were fairly close to 45 degrees
out of the box but you'll want to do
some calibration if you're gonna do some
finish work so let's talk about that
sauce top and Makita were perfect right
on the box
hitachi and skill saw no clothes they
were about a tenth of a degree I had a
tenth of a degree deviation rigid was
almost a full degree off at 45 so you'll
want to fix that before you do any 45
bevels as far as measuring the 90 degree
stop we used the same digital in
kilometer and for this evaluation both
the saw stop and the Ridgid were perfect
Makita bosch and Dewalt were only off by
a small amount one-tenth of a degree the
Hitachi the Delta and the skill saw they
all three of those saws they needed some
serious calibration before getting
perfect 90 you want that to be right we
use the digital dial in inclination C of
the blade position to the miter slot
this instrument has an accuracy of five
ten thousandths of an inch as part of
the table saw setup we installed a new
Diablo blade on every saw and to ensure
that that there wasn't any wobble in
these blades and we did not you know
enter into test results and stuff like
that we mark the blade a blade tooth and
we use that same reference point for our
measurements so we measured the front
and the rear of the blade we just
rotated the blade and use the same mark
the saw stop had perfect reading right
out of the box the rigid needed some
calibration and the accuracy and the
safety basically if any saw really
depends on the blade being parallel to
the RIP fence since we measured the
amount of difference in parallelism
parallelism between the saw blade and
the miter slot in that previous test we
then needed only to look at the miter
slot parallel to the RIP fence the blade
of the parallel between those two and
that relationship to see if the saw as a
parallel relationship between the two
made sense right so we use those
measurements and we use the same dial
indicator to measure the accuracy and
again looking at that as delivered
factory
fence to table miter slot we took those
measurements front and rear as well and
again this is important measurement
because if the material you're cutting
is pinched at that rear of the fence you
could get a kickback kickback is more
likely to occur so remembering again
that a sheet of paper is approximately
full of thousands of an inch thick the
results show that the hitachi and the
saw stop factory settings they need a
little bit of adjustment for better
accuracy run out one term you might hear
when reading about table saw accuracy is
blade run out run out is a term that
describes whether or how the outside
edge of the saw blade that outside
planed wobbles while being held by the
motor shaft
sometimes operatives measure run out by
using the saw blade that they have on
that saw well in that case the the very
use of the saw blade presumes that the
specific blade is perfect or nearly
perfect in its flattest and there's no
wobble in the blade or what missing the
blade using a saw blade it has any
warping at all will not give us a clear
indication of blade run-up so to ensure
that we did it properly and our run out
measurements were accurate we used a
freud calibration plate freud
manufactures a ground stainless steel
plate to a tolerance of five 1000s of an
inch in flatness across the plate and to
ensure accuracy we checked our freud
plate on top of a polished granite
calibration table so basically we bought
this calibration plate but we want to
make sure it was right we use the freud
calibration plate on each of the table
saws to measure run-out we remove the
Diablo blades obviously install the
calibration plate and we raise the
trunnion to its maximum position
vertical adjustment but before measuring
run-out we placed a black marker mark on
the calibration plate to give us a
consistent starting point for run-out so
we're on the same spot of the plate
every single time a dial indicator
provided the test measurements and only
this time the units were then sent well
then read in millimeters due to the
small movement so we had to do some math
of millimeter conversions to get our
findings we place the dial indicator on
a star
position of the calibration disk and we
we basically calibrated that position on
the dial indicator for a reading of zero
we we then were very careful to rotate
the calibration plate on the outer rim
edge so that we didn't do any
side-to-side movement or force on that
plate that could introduce an error in
our measurements so while we rotated the
plate we recorded those measurements and
we were looking for max readings on that
dial indicator we validated each max
reading by running the test a second
time for repeatability and being
consistent we noted that you know as we
perform these tests on all eight saws
the maximum readings occurred at
different parts along the plate which
was interesting as we've rotated that
plate and that the max readings were the
fact that they were in discrete parts of
the calibration plate gave us a pretty
high level of confidence that the
flatness of the calibration the flatness
of our calibration plate was true so as
you can see from the chart we had ranges
from eight ten thousand seven H on the
DeWalt and SawStop all the way up to
1/100 of an inch on the skill saw
typical values of five one thousandth of
an inch are considered good
so both Bosch and skill saw are in that
range and you know they might need a
little bit of evaluation especially if
the saw is going to be used for real
nice finished work we looked so
basically if I had to give this a winner
precision summary who got the precision
summary the winner it would be the sauce
top followed by Makita in second place
and then Bosch and Dewalt they tied for
third why did we take the time to
measure as built accuracy right I know
you're asking this question why'd you
waste your time with this why didn't you
just fix all the saws too accurate well
as we said in the beginning of the
section many of the saws will be used
right out of the box that is a reality
believe it or not it is a reality and
while some may not be considered there
are a lot of guys that demand precision
right so you're really gonna take the
time to do it or you're not
but more importantly we're worried about
potential safety of the operator
and if they rely on that as shift
accuracy of the saw from that
manufacturer there could be problems so
we wanted to look at that and see what
the various saws and how they compared
to out of the box that's why we did that
look you have every option to tune your
own son I hope you do we looked at
performance and for this testing we
looked at three different materials to
test performance three quarter-inch AC
plywood five quarter-inch mahogany
decking and five quarter inch pressure
treated southern yellow pine and while
measuring the saw blade rpm and the saw
motor amp draw so to compare these tests
or these saws we looked at how much
blade speed each saw has under load and
also how much amp draw increases under
look think about driving a car maybe
that's a good example when you drive a
car a more powerful car will not drop as
much speed when going up a hill and the
engine won't work as hard right so we
looked at it kind of that way
additionally guys we also measured
decibels during this test because we
thought that was a good time to you know
when that when the saws were under use
but we included decibels and rated that
in our organic section the first
measurements we looked at in the
performance testing was blade speed
cutting on all three testing materials
this test gives us a relative comparison
of how much blade speed reduction the
motors have under different loading
conditions that makes sense so in our
opinion this gives us an idea of how
strong the motor gearbox combination is
for each saw so for each test we also
recorded no load speed so we could use
that to capture a relative drop in rpm
in blade speed while cutting all these
different types of woods these three
different types of wood we used our as
measured no load speeds instead of the
published values from the manufacturers
we wanted to use our own in order to
measure the blade speed we use a digital
laser non-contact tachometer and we use
a piece of reflective tape that we
adhere to each saw blade just behind the
car by tooth so that the tape would be
just above the top of the wood cutting
surface allowing us to capture that
blades be
during the cuts we used a power feeder
to ensure that all the material that was
pushed through each saw was fed at the
same feed rate so let's talk about this
saw speed summary the saw or I should
say the table saw with the lowest
average drop in speed and blade speed
for each of the tests we performed was
the saw stop coming in second place was
skill saw followed by third Makita
Boston rigid were fourth Dewalt fifth
Delta sixth and in seventh place was
Hitachi we looked at motor amp draw
alright so another indication on how
hard a table saw is working is to
monitor the amperage amps and the amp
draw under loading conditions so we
measured the amp draw for each saw using
all three different materials again same
materials used and then we recorded at
the same time that we were also
recording the RPMs so the performance
summary winner for that was skill saw we
took all the data from the RPM and the
amp measurements we added them to come
up with a final performance rank so for
each for each saw we added up the total
percentage decrease in rpms for each
material type and then we added the
total percentage of amps for each
material type so doing this gives us a
relative comparison of each saw over the
six sets of data that we looked at our
web-site article has all of these graphs
I'm showing some of them in the video
showing the RPM the amp draw for each
material so you know you need to go
there if you need more information on
this stuff but the best overall
performance in the testing was skill saw
the skill saw was described by many in
our crew as a absolute beast and the
daughter absolutely reinforces that
regardless of the type of material the
skill saw offered the lowest drop in
rpms and the lowest increase in amp draw
following in second place was hitachi
and then Dewalt a close third
okay we looked at price by the way price
is current pricing at the time of this
video I you know a year later I get
comments oh it's lower than that it's
more that pricing includes the cost of
the stand and they range from low $349
for the hitachi to high which is SawStop
that's twelve hundred ninety nine
dollars but the lowest price doesn't
always reflect the best value in our
opinion in this case the Hitachi is an
incredible deal at $349 and was our
winner for price yet value this saw has
lots of power it's got a rack and pinion
fence and a solid stand another really
nice value for price Richey currently
selling for $399 comes with the stand
and then lastly it's hard to ignore the
price tag on the DeWalt at $499 which is
a great contractor a great saw and I've
been using one for years the DeWalt saw
has great features great fence really
good stand
they've set this they've set the
standard for table saws
ergonomics ergonomics is a science of
designing and producing tools that
improve our efficiency while reducing
discomfort fatigue and risk of injury
ergonomically enhanced tools can include
helpful helpful features such as you
know angled slightly angle a canted
handles riving knife safety switches non
slip slip coatings with ergonomic Stu
key things to consider whether or not
the tool eases your work and prevents
you from straining in ways that could
lead to injury so for this section we
considered the following factors rating
them one two three one through three one
is the best guys and we looked at weight
with the tool instant power switch
location accessory storage fence we
looked at the adjustments of the blade
guard and riving knife and the stand and
lastly we also I should say we also
looked at ascending and descending
stairs as well as the height of the
stand and the adjustability of it oh
yeah and I forgot we also included
decibels member I told you we're gonna
decimals in this category so let's talk
about wait the sauce sauce stain
combinations ranged from 80 pounds with
the rigid up to 114 pounds with the
makita decibels the saws ranged from
93.7 decibels to ninety seven point nine
decibels now keep in mind that OSHA
allows eight hours of exposure for up to
90 decibels and then from 95 and up the
exposure limits start dropping quickly
starting at four hours for 95 decibels
so clearly all of these saws should
require hearing protection we rank the
quietest saw the quietest three saws as
a two and the remaining saws is a three
in this category because we felt that
none of the saws should rank a one
because they all need a hearing
protection we're waiting for that one
rating to come out we're the two bucks
buds all participate in the ergonomics
and we all participate in the rankings
and below I'm showing a table of that
here and it shows our final rankings an
interesting note about Stan height so
the crew felt that all of the heights of
the tables were fine for doing work but
the makita actually has three settings
that you can set for different heights
that we really really like that as far
as the ergonomics winter it was Dewalt
and Makia tied the DeWalt Makena
finished first for our genomic rankings
followed by a tie for second as well
between the hitachi and the skill saw
and then a tie for third for bosch and
rigid these are all very close odds
they're very competitive both the DeWalt
Makita built their saw for professional
contractors in mind and that is clear to
me overall the entire crew really liked
that any of the saws that had the rack
and pinion fence system and that req
opinion is just a nice repeatable fence
it's just an easy to use the skill saw
really large wheels for maneuverability
it was a big favorite so guys who won
the best portable jobsite table saw who
want everything well choosing the best
portable jobsite table saw wasn't an
easy task but we're confident that we've
done a thorough
evaluation for you hitachi in a very
close race for the best portable table
saw
Hitachi beat out Dewalt very close race
Dewalt in second place
so third place was skill saw fourth was
Makita it's very interesting though that
Hitachi and Dewalt looked very very
similar Hitachi just edged out over the
wall in performance and price resulting
in its final score skill saw beat out
Makita for third place only slightly and
that result was mostly a function of
price it's interesting to note that if
we take price out of this evaluation the
rankings would have been a little bit
different so the rankings would have
been Dewalt first place Makita and
second place hitachi skill saw saw
stopped tied for third place and then
bosch and fourth delta v rigid last
place so by the end of the day price is
certainly a factor at least it is to our
guys what we didn't do in our evaluation
is any long-term durability that time
will tell on that and maybe we will do a
look back on these sons that would be a
good thing to do because that could
affect your purchase price too if you
knew the saw was gonna last longer you
pay more for it it lasts longer
we really should point out a big deal
here and that is the saw stopped with
its flesh sensing brake technology look
guys it is hard to put a price on safety
and while the saw stop it costs three
times what the Hitachi cost it does
offer safety that no other saw can do in
these tests
you're gonna ask yourself what is the
price of a finger lost I lost a finger
so for those that can afford the
additional cost that feature alone may
tip the scales for you regardless of the
price though regardless of that price
saw stop came in fifth place for the
other categories that we evaluated so
final thoughts on this whole test these
tests and evaluations are very difficult
to do they take a ton of time months and
ultimately we're limited in the scope
because we're not a professional testing
company you have to trust that we try to
do things with integrity and as
as fare apples apples as we can we can't
do long-term durability right now
because it just takes too long and we
can't possibly test every application
that you might want to see on these
sides however we feel comfortable that
all of these table sides in this
head-to-head are good saws and our
testing helps bring to light the pros
and cons of each saw ultimately everyone
needs a tool you need to choose a tool
based on your specific needs
use and budget with all the data that
that we've done here we feel confident
that you can make a better educated
decision on which saw to buy and what
saw to buy on your next portable jobsite
