Portable Table Saw Reviews

Some good portable table saws and good cheap hobby table saws.

A portable table saw is a big time saver when it comes to woodworking projects that need to be completed on the fly. Used to make long, straight rip cuts and repetitive cross cuts accurately and quickly, the portable table saw has most of the functions of a standard stationary table saw but are highly mobile - especially coming in handy for tasks like deck building or framing.

A portable table saw can be the best choice for those whose available workshop space is limited and precludes the use of a bigger stationary variety table saw. Our portable table saw review will outline some of the best portable table saws on the market both for the seasoned professional or the Average Joe with a home workshop.

DeWalt DW744

Starting out around $500, the DeWalt DW744 portable table saw is a great machine at a reasonable price. This model features a T square fence that clamps across the table to provide the ultimate in stability because it does not slide on rails but instead both the front and rear rails move from side to side, carrying the fence along with them.

This allows for accurate positioning. The Dewalt DW744 is among the best mid-priced portable table saws on our portable table saw review and the perfect choice for those who want to buy a quality portable table saw without spending a fortune.

Bosch 4100

A higher priced and arguably more advanced portable table saw is the Bosch 4100. With a digital rip fence for more precise cuts, convenient scales, onboard storage, easy blade change abilities and dust control that really works, the Bosch 4100 is a reasonably good bargain at around $800.

With a 15-amp motor that features electronic torque control, the Bosch 4100 portable table saw also has a wheeled stand that snaps open or folds flat in a single motion, making it a convenient investment in your workshop that should last for many years (and tons of projects) to come.

Ryobi BTS21

For those who are a bit budget-conscious, our portable table saw review now moves to a much cheaper alternative - the economically priced Ryobi BTS21 portable table saw.

Although it's a bit noisier than its more expensive counterparts, it does feature onboard tool storage, a folding stand, and a valuable two year warranty. The Ryobi BTS21 is perfect for beginning woodworkers or for those who have smaller projects in the works.
