BOSCH PTS10 table saw

the Bosch PTS10

I now have been using it for almost 2 years, and it’s time to share with you guys what are my impressions.

Pros

  • it’s one of the cheapest
  • the blade is good
  • it’s easy to transport
  • it has a built in crosscut sled

Cons

  • the rip guide is not perfect
  • it is difficult to ripcut pieces larger than 300 mm (but you can easily build an attachment piece where you can clamp the rip cut guide for max 20 €)
  • the dust collection is not superb: for this reason I designed a 3D PRINTED DIY DUST COLLECTOR a blade cover with buil-in dust collection port. You can download here the 3D print files.
  • you can’t use a dado stack
  • the t-slots are not standard, so it is hard to find guides that fit. For this reason I designed and printed my own Zero Play Guides.
  • the blade adjusting knob is really not good even though it does the job.

I recommend you to have a look at the jigs and tools I’ve made myself to have more satisfying results from this table saw:
