Coming in at just over 50-pounds, the lightweight design makes it highly portable which can easily be moved from site to site or stored out of sight. This compact power tool doesn’t require a lot of space and is suited for smaller shops and regular jobsite use.
For a portable jobsite table saw, it boasts more power than it looks. Powered by a 4.0-HP motor that delivers no load 5,000 RPM giving plenty of juice for all types of tasks. If you’re worried about durability, don’t, as the Bosch GTS1031 features an all-steel base which is rugged enough to withstand regular jobsite abuse.
Accuracy with Bosch’s SquareLock rip fence
Bosch integrated a SquareLock rip fence which gives you accurate alignment for precise cuts. The modular blade guard sets up a smooth delivery across the entire fence and ultimately, a faster cut. For storage, there’s ample room on the underside of the table where you can store all your accessories including wrenches for adjusting and extra blades.
Users have stated you’ll want to upgrade the blade. The Bosch GTS1031 includes a standard carbide saw blade with 24-teeth which is said to be dull, and the cut could be smoother. Also, included out of the box is a miter gauge, rip fence, 2 blade change wrenches, and a push stick. For a piece of mind, Bosch gives you a 1-year limited warranty and there’s also a 90-day money back guarantee if you have any doubts.
