Jediná vada na kráse byla, že vnitřní část s motorem byla pro účely přepravy výrobcem fixována umělohmotnou páskou, která se ovšem během přepravy přetrhla, takže motor + vnitřní pohyblivý mechanismus měl možnost se mlátit sem a tam. No ale po prohlídce se naštěstí nic nepoškodilo. Which then is the better saw? The answer is simple: the GTS 10 XC. It is larger, more powerful, more stable, has a better miter gauge and sliding table, and a better fence. It also uses higher quality materials. Tuto pilu rozhodně doporučuji všem, kdo pracují se dřevem, protože výsledky práce jsou skvělé a poměr cena / výkon více než dobrý. It is a clear improvement over the old PTS 10, which was limited by its build quality. It is therefore no surprise that the GTS 635-216 is now one of the most popular table saws on the market in Europe. The GTS 635-216 Professional is the compact, yet powerful, table saw for multi-purpose use. Its 1,600 W motor power is ideal for a cutting height up to 70 mm and for a rip capacity up to 635 mm. The low weight of only 22 kg, its ergonomic handles, and protective on-board storage make transport genuinely easy and safe. The table saw works extremely precisely and, due to its integrated slide carriage, table-widener, and table extension, it is exceptionally versatile. Equipment & Application

Conclusion: All in all, the GTS 10 XC has a better fence, especially straight out of the box. If Bosch fixes the problems with the 635-216, that fence should be good enough as well. Price and Value for Money The sliding table does cost about €100, but even then the TS 254 M comes in cheaper than the DWE7485. The DWE7485 on the other hand is just under €500 (but cheaper in the US), quite a step up from the other two saws. This means it will have to have some serious improvements over the other two saws to be good value for money. Given the DeWalt’s premium price, you’d expect it to have a better internal build quality too, but it’s hard to tell if that is really the case.

The Bosch GTS 635-216 table saw is a compact saw with large cutting capacities. The redesign of the motor/gearbox configuration maximises the cutting height from the 216mm blade. The result is a highly portable saw bench with a maximum depth of cut of 70mm and a cutting width of up to 635mm. Something similar is going on with the size of the two saws. The GTS 10 XC is clearly bigger, with a table of 584 x 759 millimeter, compared to the 500 x 658 millimeter of the 635-216. The most obvious difference between the two is that the 635-216 is smaller. It has a smaller body and smaller blade. Saw Blades and Cutting Height

To find out exactly how they all differ in a meaningful way, I’ll compare them along three categories: Accuracy, size and power, and build quality.

Conclusion: Although the 635-216 is smaller than the 10 XC, it comes surprisingly close in terms of rip capacity and cutting height. The 10 XC will still support your workpiece better, and provide a bit more power. Miter Gauge vs Sliding Table Miter gauge on the 635-216 Compared to the PTS 10 T, it is made from higher quality materials, more accurate, and slightly more powerful. It is also a bit smaller, and can be much easier carried around, because it is 10kg lighter. Fence

With a saw blade diameter of 216 millimetres, it is the best in its class. This is based on the special design of the new table saw: The arrangement of motor and gearbox has been optimised so that the saw blade protrudes further than with conventional table saws ‒ and thus achieves more cutting height with a smaller blade. The accuracy of a table saw depends on three main factors: the fence, miter gauge, and the general flatness/dimensions of the body. If the fence isn’t straight, or moves out of parallel with the saw blade, you’ll never make accurate rip cuts. But it is also more than twice as expensive. This makes the GTS 635-216 very good value for money. It may not be as well built, or have as unique features at the 10 XC, it can cut almost the same height and rip the same width. With some attention, you can achieve the same results on the 635-216 as on the 10 XC, but for less than half the money. Build quality is always hard to judge from the outside, and can really only be proven after using a machine for a few years. Given that all three saws are quite new, we’ll have to wait some time to see what actual users report when using the machines for some time.
