Best Portable Jobsite Table Saw – Reviews & Guide 2024

The SawStop JSS is THE gold standard in job site safety and performance. It performs like a saw in a whole different weight class, with the added advantage of being compact and portable.

It has a relatively large rip capacity at 25.5 inches on the right side, though there are other models that can extend longer. However, this is more than ample for most jobsite applications. It’s also one of the heavier jobsite saws on our list, weighing in at 108 pounds, but still boasts portability with its collapsible wheel stand.

What sets this model apart is the flesh sensing technology along with testing and bypass features to prevent false triggers. Despite the expense of replacing the brake and sometimes the blade in an activation, no one complains and SawStop is happy to assist with replacement parts when there’s a false alarm. Instead of losing a finger (or worse), the user will sustain a minor cut at most.

The DEWALT DWE7491RS is the Cadillac of jobsite table saws. At about half the price of the SawStop, it admittedly doesn’t have flesh-sensing technology, but it’s got so many upgrades that we put it as number 2 on our list and also deemed it as the best value saw of the year.

This saw has something for everyone. It’s ideal for owners of companies who need advanced safety features on job sites, and it’s perfect for anyone needing to upgrade to a bigger saw.

As a replacement to the DW744XRS, DeWalt added significant upgrades, including a wider rip capacity (32 ½ max rip), advanced safety features, and a roll-up capability that offers unprecedented portability.

The rack and pinion telescoping rail system allows for fast, smooth, and accurate adjustments that are a must for woodworkers at all levels. The patented material support system includes a flip over ripping fence that allows for narrow cuts as well as wider ripping capabilities.

Whether you’re looking for a starter saw or want more bang for your buck, the SKIL 3410-02 is ideal for almost everyone. The 15-amp 2HP motor cuts through almost anything. And, at 5,000 RPM with the ability to cut at a depth of 3.5 inches with a right-side rip capacity of 24 ½ inches, there’s not much this jobsite table saw can’t do.

At 67.5 pounds, it’s much lighter than the SawStop and DeWalt, so it’s a lot easier to transport. It still has a heavy duty stand, but it does lack wheels.

The EZ View Measurement System is where this saw really shines. It’s perfect for beginners who are still gaining confidence with the accuracy of their cuts, and it’s also helpful for seasoned professionals who want to line up their cuts quickly and with ease.

The cast iron aluminum table extends out for use on longer workpieces, making this one of the most flexible and versatile portable jobsite saws on the market today.

Bosch is a leader in performance no matter what they touch and the 4100-10 is no exception. This model is the cross between a serious woodworker’s dream and an easy-to-use tool for a beginner or casual hobbyist.

The powerful motor delivers professional-level rip capacity, yet it’s still lightweight and portable enough to travel or be stowed away when not in use. Rip through 4 ft. sheet goods with ease or do detailed finished work right on site. This saw has the power and versatility to handle it all, while still being lightweight and easy to transport.

Standard with this table saw is the Constant Response circuitry that maintains your speed under any load and also provides overload protection. If you lose power, you’ll also need to manually repower your saw, which is another helpful safety feature.

One of the standout features of this saw is the adjustable stand. You no longer have to settle for a one-size-fits-all height, so you’ll be able to use this model for hours without experiencing any discomfort, stooping or stretching.

The Hitachi C10RJ boasts solid construction, power, and versatility. It’s built to last. With its signature green color and ability to take on anything, it’s no wonder its nickname is “The Hulk.”

It’s similar to the DeWalt DWE7499 and Bosch 4100-10 but has a lower price tag. If you look closely, it’ll be hard to notice a difference at all, other than the color. There are some slight hiccups in customer service and performance, which is why this saw didn’t earn a top 3 spot at the publication date.

One of the best features of this saw is the massive 35-inch rip capacity. If your primary need for a table saw is ripping lumber, this is likely your best bet. However, if you’re a professional woodworker that needs to do some more detailed cuts, we suggest choosing from among the top three brands on our list.

This is a great all-in-one tool that’s equally suited for big projects while still being affordable enough for DIYers. Plus, with Hitachi’s 2-year warranty, you have time to put it to the test.

This workhorse of a saw might not have the same flexibility as larger models, but if it’s portability, cost savings and compact power you’re after, then you’ve found your match.

Granted the DeWalt DW745 does have limitations in rip capacity, but if you’re doing quick or small cuts on site and need to go from one place to the next, you’re not going to find anything better at this price.

Plus, at just 45 pounds, this is one of the lightest weight and most portable saws around.

At first, we were put off by the lack of an included stand, but you’re probably better off coming up with another solution. At a height of just 33 inches for the total assembly, anyone who is an average height or taller is going to be bending awkwardly to get the job done.

Not having dado capability will likely be a big deal to some, but if it doesn’t matter to you, then you’ll have no regrets with this saw.

Don’t let the word “portable” fool you because the DeWalt DWE7480XA packs a powerful punch. It’s got bigger than average rip capacity, a powerful motor, and it’s ideal for those with limited space or who are on the go.

The most significant shortcoming is that the arbor is too short to accommodate a dado stack, so if making those cuts are important to you, you may want to look elsewhere or considering getting those cuts using another method.

For this lower price, this saw packs a lot of value. Its portability is best in class for a job site table saw, making it a top pick for people who need to travel with their tools or have limited workshop space.

This saw is lightweight and one that you can keep with you for offsite projects while investing in something more stable for longer projects or an onsite workshop. The 1-year free service contract is a welcome feature. If something goes wrong with your equipment, then this protection offers peace of mind.

Fondly called the “Worminator,” this machine will terminate any stack you throw at it. By harnessing the torque from SKIL’s worm drive circular saw, you get a powerful machine that’s about the size of a suitcase.

SKILSAW took that same gearing from its circular saw and put it upside down on the table saw, giving it more depth for cutting. Typical 10-inch blades are limited to 3.25 inches, and you get an extra quarter inch with this worm drive table saw.

You’ll notice similarities between this model and the Bosch GTS1031, mostly because Bosch owns SKILSAW. However, the SPT70WT comes equipped with more power as well as a slight increase in cutting and ripping capacity. The cutting speed and quality are about average, but given the saw’s compact size, it outperforms others that are in this division.

The 180-day Stay True Guarantee is one of our favorite features. By letting you try the saw risk-free for 6 months, you’ll have plenty of time to decide if it’s what you want, and if you don’t like, you get a full refund.

The Bosch GTS1031 combines portability and sheer cutting prowess. It’s not the lightest option, but it’s by far the toughest. You’ll tear through wet lumber all day long without bogging down or smoking the motor.

The Bosch name is synonymous with quality and advanced engineering, and this table saw is no exception. When compared side by side to the DeWalt DWE745 it gains a slight edge because of its dado capability.

It’s heavy duty, so you can toss it around without worrying about losing tools or doing damage. It’s great for a crew or someone who’s looking for a low maintenance option.

It’s not exactly lightweight, but it makes up for those few extra pounds with durability. Even a pro can’t help but admit how compatible this is for job site use. Keep in mind that this is designed to be a jobsite saw. It’s not exactly made for building intricate furnishings.

If you want something that feels high-quality, you’ll appreciate the attention to detail and the fact that Bosch minimized the plastic components to add metal without weighing down the unit.
