5 Best Table Saw Under $1000 in 2021: Which One Came Out The Winner?

1. Makita 2705X1 Contractor Table Saw

Our pick for the absolute best table saw under $1,000 is this Makita model, which comes with a 10-inch saw blade that has sharp carbide teeth that cut smoothly through your wood. Inside this saw is a 15 amp motor that produces more than 4,700 revolutions every single minute and a blade system that you can remove or replace without any unique tools. That assembly comes off quickly to give you full access to the interior, which comes in handy when you need to adjust or change the blade.

We also like the cart that comes with this model because it supports the full weight of this heavy table saw and transforms into a stand when needed. No matter where you want to take the saw, you can use the cart to get it there. The combination of the cart and the saw is larger than you might expect and may even be too big for some.

If you want an affordable table saw that can replace the old and cheap ones you have, this is it. It comes backed by the Makita guarantee and includes both a riving knife and spreader. You can use the release lever to adjust the height of that knife and the blade too.

2. Shop Fox W1837 Hybrid Table Saw

Though not as affordable as the Makita table saw, this Shop Fox has a much more durable design and might be an even better option for your workshop. This table saw has a fully enclosed cabinet made from cast iron that doesn't shake or vibrate the way open cabinets do. That design can help you keep your hands safe as you work with wood and reduce your risk of injuries and accidents.

The table also features wings that you can lift up and lock in place to extend the overall length of the table to 27 inches. Some users may find that the included fence sticks to the top of those wings and that the pieces don't slide as well as they should. Another issue is that the top of the table can warp due to heat and other conditions.

Located on the back of the cabinet is a four-inch dust port that you can connect to a vacuum system. The port allows the vacuum to pull dust and trimmings away from the table's surface to keep it clean. It also has a rip capacity of up to 15 inches on the left and 30 inches on the right.

3. Bosch Power Tools 4100-10 Table Saw

Bosch is a name that you can trust, especially when it comes to power tools, which is why many contractors like this table saw. Not only does it have all the power you desire because of the 15 amp motor, but it costs much less than what comparable job saws do. As a job saw, this model is highly portable, and it can work in all types of weather conditions too.

The saw comes with a cart that has adjustable parts that you can unscrew to use as legs to give the saw more support in the field. One common problem with this model is that the stand isn't really as strong as it should be. You may find that it develops warps or dents when you leave it in one position for an extended amount of time.

When using this saw at home or out in the field, you don't need to worry about tripping a circuit breaker because it comes on smoothly and slowly reaches full speed. This Bosch model also has a smart blade system with a barrier that stops that blade when it comes into contact with fabric or skin.

4. DEWALT DWE7491RS Table Saw

Many contractors and others in the construction industry look for the black and yellow colors in the DEWALT logo when choosing quality products, and this table saw is one of the best models in the $1,000 and under price range. It has a rip capacity of more than 32 inches and a 15 amp motor that works just as effectively on hardwoods as it does treated wood. The saw also weighs just 90 pounds.

Thanks to the design and the attached cart, you can move this saw without any extra help. With a few simple adjustments, that cart becomes a full stand that lets you access the blade and use all the features of the saw without an extra table. That stand also transforms into a rolling cart when it's time to move the saw.

With an RPM rating of 4,800 and a 10-inch blade with 24 carbide teeth, this saw is perfect for home use or use on the job. It has a push stick that lets you cut the wood without coming anywhere near the blade and a miter gauge that helps you set the depth of your cuts.

5. SKILSAW SPT99-11 Heavy Duty Worm Drive Table Saw

One of the only table saws you can get in this price range that has a worm drive is its SKILSAW model, which costs roughly half of what some of the other saws do. The worm drive inside lets you make rip cuts of more than 30 inches and cut to a maximum depth of 3-5/8 inches. It also has a hidden dust port for cleaning up after you finish a job.

The 16-inch wheels on the attached rolling stand are larger than those found on other portable saws and can easily maneuver across concrete or dirt. This cart also features easy load handles that make it easy to lift and lower it to use it as a stand or a cart. Made from durable metal, this stand lasts longer than others can too.

A nice feature of this table saw is the design that supports the wood and your body to let you push the wood through the table and over the blade to your other hand without help from anyone. It has a conveniently located dust port too. You can connect that port to a vacuum system or use your hands or a broom to wipe the dust and debris into the port and off the table.
